Great customer service and communication. I took my 99 Tahoe in for a brake system flush and front brakes. They were able to get it finished in a timely manner. Great job. Will definitely be going back for any other repairs that may come along.

Went in to diagnose my car that was smoking lightly. Paid $80+ for them to check it. They said it was an old valve cover gasket that was barely even there, all broken and brittle. Told me it would be $1000+ to replace it, SO I DID IT MYSELF. After taking it apart, I realized the person was lying because my gasket was completely fine (was changed 3 months before). Now I have to find a HONEST TRUSTWORTHY shop because THIS IS NOT IT

A Great Day at Santa Maria Meineke! We came in for an alignment and check up after driving our car here from Texas. Everything went as they said it would. John was very knowledgeable on the phone and in person.The work was done perfectly by Rafael! He was kind and explained what all needed to be done, then what he had done and what we needed to do to continue to get the BEST wear out of our tires and car. We really appreciated that level of care and knowledge! We couldnt be happier with the service or the price.Masks were worn by all and they really seemed to care about our safety 🤗 Thank you!Oh and I was able to snap this BEAUTIFUL rainbow 🌈 overhead!

Definitely the best place to get an oil change. They made me an appointment, called a day before to remind me and the professionalism of all the staff was amazing! Absolutely the best experience ever,Oil change includes tire rotation for free! From now on this is only place I will get my cars serviced!

Excellent service at an extremely reasonable cost. As I waited for my oil service, I watched them interact with other customers that came in. In every case, they were polite, informative and honest about what the customer needed to have done and what they didnt. Definitely nice to see a business that does right by their customers.

VERY friendly front desk! I believe the men in the front were not just office workers either. They appeared to be supervisors or higher which is even more impressive to see. Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful. Everyone we contacted there from the phone, to the desk, to service was a pleasure to deal with. My oil change was done precisely on time and they told me EXACTLY what they did and put into my Tahoe. Perfect interaction! Great job and thank you Meineke!

Chuck and crew were helpful in making the repair. And he communicated well with another customer who was at the counter while I was waiting in the waiting area. I was stunned by the level of help Chuck offered. He was able to clearly communicate a great deal of relevant knowledge, and I learned a lot just listening!

My Classic MX-5 needed the drivers side door worked on. The workers at Meineke removed the door panel and took care of the problem. A job well done, and at a price I could afford.Most places screw up the works on foreign cars. Any other repairs I may need in the future, will be done right there at 111 E. Roemer Way. Good Work Guys!

Review №27

I was staying at a nearby hotel and I needed my wheel alignment and oil change done to ensure my car gets me wherever I needed to go. Once service is done I checked that the oil is new and topped off and noticed my car wheel alignment improved while driving on a freeway. Definitely will recommend this shop for outstanding customer service and quality of service.

I brought my car in for a service. He explained what was involved with that process beforehand and quoted the price. I dropped off the car and found the place to be clean, organized and professional. Once completed, he explained how the service was simpler than initially expected and charged me half of what was quoted. He also took his time explaining what he did and recommendations for the car. I was extremely pleased with the quality and customer care. I Would definitely use again.

Jesse, Stephanie & Jacob provide excellent customer service answering the calls, taking care of me over the phone. The experience shared in the shop here is amazing Ive brought over four vehicles to this location, over the years and theyve always managed to do a great job on every vehicle I brought in. From a Ford F-150 to a Nissan note to a Nissan Altima hybrid and now the Kia Niro hybrid. They provide excellent professional service and my vehicles are always in the green when I leave. Thank you Mieneke of Santa Maria.

Review №36

I visited my local Meineke for the first time due to a mailing I received with their name, address, and phone number on it. It had special pricing and deals on it, but when I tried to use the discount on my oil change, the person at the counter simply said, We dont do that. On top of that, he recommended a bunch of work on my car, but wasnt able to give me an estimate on the cost at that time. He said he would call me with the estimate. It has been a week, and I have yet to get the estimate. Guess Ill be taking my $1000 repair work somewhere else. Its a shame, because he gave the person before me (clearly a repeat customer) a good deal, and he seemed like a nice guy. I guess I should have guessed something wasnt quite right when the signs say they want everyone to wear a mask upon entering the office area, but HE didnt have one on at all.

This is now my place to go when my car won’t! I was nervous to take my car to a shop not knowing anyone here. I was greeted immediately by John he did what he could as soon as he could. I was expecting a week for sure but NO it was fixed in 4 days! This shop is crazy busy make an appointment! Edit*** I made an appointment for an oil change recently and spaced it. The front desk called me and asked if i could come in later same day. They really are accommodating and thorough. They rotated my tires and noticed I’ve got one bad one that needs to be replaced. This was missed by another company who I used to replace a flat tire the week before 🥸

I love the fast, friendly service. I choose to drive here a half hour away from my home to service my car here instead of staying in town. Best service I have had in a long time. The front desk person also knew I had a time constraint that day and made sure service was done early! Will be coming back :)

Chuck and his staff are always extremely professional! I take all four of our cars in to be serviced. I appreciate all the safety checks they do while the cars are in to be serviced. If Chuck recommends something to be done we have them do it. He is extremely trustworthy. His prices are very fair. He always gets your car in to be serviced in a timely manner and back out in a timely manner! I recommend him highly for any car mechanics that you might need!

And even better... I know where to send my friends and family too. After all, our loved ones cars should be worked on by the very best because we want them safe!

Review №66

I took my car in to get an oil change and my brakes serviced back in October. Come to find out they didn’t charge my card until two months later in December. This was extremely inconsiderate and inconvenient to me as it is the holidays and I had some shopping to do. My card should have been charged when I got my car serviced in October, not two whole months later. This gave me false security with my bank account thinking I had $600 more than I had. Very unprofessional and would not recommend anyone to visit here.

Review №67

I went in to get an oil change done and check for leaks. I did not need tires rotated because i had just bought brand new tires somewhere else the week before. This was my third time coming for an oil change. I was going to drive to Colorado and back over the holidays and wanted to make sure that the jeep was good to go.When u got home i had a funny feeling and called the next day to make sure they had checked the spare tire. He said they usually check all 5 and the spare shouldve been checked but when he pulled up my order he saw that they did not check the spare. He apologised profusely I came in the next day to get it done. The spare needed 60psi but only had 25psi. When they were done i went inside and just wanted to see what they would say if i asked for a small discount for having to have to drive there twice. I knew the owner does not honor Meinecke discounts from the corporation. He was standing next tovthe guy at the desk and he looked at the owner. The owner responded : we dont give discounts, but also we usually dont check the spare, done cars dont have one or we cannot get to it. This contradiction along with him being a cheapskate anyways and now lying, he should’ve just stuck with no. I can find better service probably closer to my house. But i wont be coming back.

Called for an alignment on my older Lexus SUV. Was quoted a price on the phone which was exactly what it ended up costing. Office and reception area is clean and welcoming. They said they’d have it done in less than two hours and call me when it was ready and they did so. Explained what they had done and what additional work was needed to be done w/o pressure. Once that is completed (a part had to be ordered) they will likely move up to five stars.

I have never had a problem that they couldn’t solve, I take my car in ever 3,000 miles and I am getting close to 300,000 miles! I should reach that goal because Meinecke and I have taken excellent care of my car.

We have used Meineke in Santa Maria several times for work on our truck and vans. In every case they did a high quality job, quickly, and with courtesy. Our latest visit was to get our brakes redone as they had begun heavy chattering after driving cross country, down grade with a heavy load. So we warped the rotors.Charles affirmed they could get them fixed in 1 day despite being a weekend day. We brought it in and had the van back that afternoon, allowing us to continue our Christmas travels without interruption.Thank you!

Review №97

This shop was fantastic. The owner Chuck Weber was so friendly and helpful. I was on a road trip from Oklahoma when my car started to give me trouble. I took it in to Chuck and he was able to fit me in to his already super busy schedule. He then diagnosed and fixed the problem so quickly and had me back on the road again. Chuck conveyed such a feeling of confidence that I knew when I left that I had come to the right place. It’s so hard to find a trustworthy place to have your car fixed, well look no further and go see Chuck Weber at Meineke Car Care Center. The only thing that could make this car care center better is for it to be where I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
