I highly recommend Meineke of South Plainfield for all your vehicles needs. Chris and the crew of highly professional mechanics are quick to diagnose and repair your car at reasonable prices. They are a pleasure to do business with.
I called the day before to see if an appointment was needed. None was needed I explained the noise i was hearing. I dropped my car off the next morning. By 3 i was given the diagnostic. The next day my car was fixed and ready to be picked up. The pricing was reasonable for the service needed. The service was professional and courteous. The only con was the fact i had to leave my car overnight and i had to find a ride to work at 4am. Next time i will be prepared for that Otherwise i will use this business again in the future and recommend.
I was driving and my tire light came on. I wasnt too far from meineke so I called and spoke to Chris I explained to him what was going on and asked if he had time to check my tire for me. He told me to come down and he would check the tire. Not only did he look at my tire, he discovered that I had a nail in it so he patched it and didnt charge me anything. I was so grateful. With everything thats going on in the world and in my own life, simple acts of kindness like this encourage me and help me to know that there is still hope. Thank you Chris and the staff at meineke. You guys are amazing and you made my day.
They were able to get my truck fixed last minute before a long road trip. Great customer service!
I think I speak for a lot of women when I say going to a car shop can be intimidating. You never know what you’re going to experience/if you will be taken advantage of (sucks but it’s a reality). My experience could not have been more opposite! The fellas were friendly, timely and honest. They explained what I needed and what I would be charged for and I was in and out within the hour with a fixed exhaust and no more rattling! I’ll definitely be back for any repairs I need down the line!
I cannot begin to fully describe the degree of customer care and attentiveness the employees here, extend to their customers. A couple months ago, my first visit was due to bad brakes and they were able to provide next day emergency brake repair and replacement within hours of me dropping my vehicle off. Chris and the mechanic (whos name escapes me unfortunately) provided estimated costs, options for the repair and careful, yet expedient work as well as updates and even helped with a ride back to retrieve my vehicle from the shop. They were nothing short of professional, diligent and kind in the matter which cemented my confidence with them, as well as them being my go-to for any future maintenance or repairs.Even now in October for my second visit, they were able to squeeze me into a packed schedule for a quick oil change. During this, they discovered a small problem I was oblivious to while attempting to change the oil and without hesitation, offered to fix the issue AND complete the original task. The service was completed in under an hour and I was able to pick up my car that same day. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and courtesy and am happy to have ever found this place and its incredible staff.
I went there for my car inspection without any appointment. The man on the counter was friendly, professional and helpful. The amount they charged was also reasonable. Highly recommended.
My mechanic Eric was quick and efficient. Super knowledgeable and got me on the road in no time. I have a long commute and needed an oil change and brake light replaced and I was still on my way home in time to beat the traffic!
Had my car towed here for an estimate on how much itd cost to get the car up and running again after Hurricane Ida did its damage. Long story short, they started repairing my car BEFORE letting me know of the official estimate AND getting my approval to do repairs on the car. When I got my car towed back, it was not in the same condition as when I brought it to them. The rear seat wasnt mounted and general parts from inside the car were left lying around. I normally dont leave reviews but what happened here was too unprofessional. I normally got my oil change here, along with a tune up just back in late July, but this is the last time Im doing business with Meineke. I recommend you bring your car elsewhere as well.
Went and got me a nice quote for a mid muffler delete and got it done in a timely fashion.
These guys are awesome. Super helpful and honest.
Didnt rip me off. Did great job.
I had a great experience with them. I was unable to go in person and they communicated with me effectively over the phone. They worked with me to get the best price without compromising the quality of work . Very patient and kind staff. Shout to and Andrew and Henry for helping me. Everyone I spoke to has manners
Mike and Chris were extremely professional. They kept me informed throughout the day. The price was fair. The shop and waiting area were clean. You can tell the team cares about what they do. I will definitely be returning.
I feel comfortable and content taking my car to this place. Hoping they always maintain this level of customer service and honesty. Something I liked about them was that on one of my previous visits, there was a weird noise coming from my Subaru. They admitted to not being sure where it was coming from. I visited three other random mechanics which all told me it was something different... which then left me with no choice but to visit an expensive Subaru dealer. But the point is- I would always go to this Meineke because they’re honest and additionally they’re not pushy regarding the services they recommend upon inspecting the vehicle. Much appreciated.
Never have I met a more honest bunch of people. The staff are very professional and kind. The service is quick but more importantly, the quality is amazing. They will never try to force a sale on you or prey on those who may have little to no knowledge when it comes to cars. They will explain everything about the service and answer any and all questions that you may have. I highly recommend this location and will be a return customer for years to come.
Mike and all the employees there are great team. They treat you like family member. I cant express enough how they make you feel comfortable and their professionalism is impeccable. I trust them with the care of my car thank you guys for the great work you do.
This Place has always been a great experience. Even working with two to three Technicians they still show the professional standing of function. And the respect level is great. I recommend them if your in the south Plainfield area.
Chris and the guys at meineke takes great care of my 16’ Jetta, been going to them for the last 2-3 years and the service has been exceptional !!! I highly recommend these guys. It’s rare to find a car place who wouldn’t rip you off but these guys are super super genuine!
I brought my car here about a month ago because my check engine light came on. They ran diagnostics and said I needed to replace my fuel injector and also needed a tune up. I got everything recommended done. Before this time, I had only dealt with them twice for a broken mirror and a muffler replacement (both experiences relatively normal except for lack of communication). Once my car was done, I drove it home (about ten minutes away give or take) and parked it until I had work Monday. I drove to work, but when I returned my car was shaking violently. I choose to tow it back so they can fix the problem they created. They admitted to not installing the fuel injector correctly. They “fixed” it again. Two weeks later I was back because my RPM just kept jumping while trying to drive, I brought it in for them to fix it. The next day they called and said they couldn’t find any problems, so I came to pick it up but I couldn’t even get 5 minutes away before it started with the same problems. I came in Monday and demanded a mechanic drive with me so they could see what I was dealing with. They saw and let me know they thought it was my transmission, and that honestly there was nothing they could do. My issue is when they ran their first diagnostic, they found nothing to be wrong with the transmission. So all of a sudden, after admitting to installing my fuel injector wrong (which after I brought up the mechanic said they didn’t do it wrong, they just forgot to hook up a certain part), my transmission which had no previous problems is now the issue? Why wasn’t it diagnosed with the other problems. These people are not credible and do NOT take responsibility for their wrongdoings. Genuinely very upset they didn’t offer a refund or even an apology. All they did was try to act like they fixed it but didn’t really try until I came back the third time. They told me they took it on a long test drive to diagnose the problem, the drive was four miles long. They are not credible and if I had went somewhere else, maybe I’d still have a car.
This is the best Meineke in specific, me and all of my friends go here with our vehicles to do muffler deletes, fixed exhaust hangers, finish straight pipes, anything you can think of along the lines of welding, just know these guys will get it done. I think 5 of us already have gone here and we will continue to recommend all of our friends and anybody looking to get good exhaust work done with quality welds and great prices.
Staff was great and took care of my exhaust rattle on my M3 within hours and prices was very reasonable. Definitely recommend to others 👌 👍 👏
Excellent service! We had a tire blowout on a trailer we borrowed, right before their exit on the highway (luckily!). Without any tools being in the trailer to change the spare, we slowly drove off the exit looking for a gas station and then found this Meineke. We pulled in to see if they can help us change it and without any hesitation they did AND it was free of charge! The whole circumstance took no less than 10 minutes from breaking down on the highway to getting right back on it. Felt like a pit stop compared to other places! Fastest service weve ever had. The guys there were very friendly too and we spent the few minutes talking about all our cars. Definitely recommend this location👍
Today, March 12, 2021, was my first visit to the shop. First, I went online, researched several shops, reviewed shops with the most reviews performed as well as the overall rating. I left totally impressed with the shop. Steve at the desk is very professional. The Specialist, Mike was deliberate and thorough in his assessment, and a professional in his demeanor. Mike exuded integrity, which many shops lack. I had the needed exhaust work performed. Need I say More. IMPRESSED !
I have been a customer of Meineke South Plainfield for 18 years. They are thorough, professional, and make you feel like family. I highly recommend for any automotive needs!
Great crew. Good prices work fast and efficient. 100% would recommend
We have been bringing our cars here for a long time, and they have always done fantastic work. No job too big or too small for their highly trained staff. Very professional and friendly and they keep you updated about the job. If your looking for great work at a fair price this is the place.
Great team!! I’ve got an over-sized construction business bus that needs an unconventional solution for my exhaust…..these guys rose to the challenge and did a great job!!
This location worked on my car yesterday. Installed a new axle back exhaust that I brought in & balanced my tires on my Mustang. The technician who worked on my vehicle was great. I never got his name but will definitely go back if to him if I need any other work done. Thank you!
Great service all around! The team is professional and knowledgeable. Ive gone here on a few occasions and I can truly say that I trust them.Mike assisted me from beginning to end and kept me updated throughout the process. They also provided pick up and drop off service.This places provides great service and competitive prices. Ill definitely go back!Thank you Meineke South Plainfield!
Unusual installation. An RV. Fast service, accommodating, and a fair price. Very pleasant people to deal with. I will likely be back for repairs on my cars.
During one of the hottest weeks the air conditioning went on my car. Meineke got me in and early next morning my car was repaired. Earlier then promised. Staff was a pleasure.
Excellent service and very professional. Mechanic did a great job explaining the problem with my car and how he planned on fixing it. It was very informative and I was appreciative of the knowledge. I truly felt like I had a much better understanding of my car’s problem and I felt confident in the mechanic’s ability to fix my issue. A+++
Looks like management changed and we cant even ask questions to new people out there. Dont even know what kind of oil they are using, is the time to find some other place
Amazing how generous a person can be. Came here for a oil leakage turned out from the previous oil change they didn’t screw in the oil filter properly. By arriving here before the problem could extend, they were able to fix the problem in no time without giving you the cost! It’s such a blessing to know that kindness does exist! Thank you a lot! Recommend 100 percent!
Friendly environment reliable willing to help really recommend this place.
The timed services were consistent with scheduling maintenance.
I am new to the area and have visited this Meineke location three times. Each time was very pleasant. The staff went above and beyond to deliver top notch customer service. My car was serviced in a sufficient time. I highly recommend that anyone in the area trust the mechanics at the Piscataway Meinekewith their vehicles.Th mechanics here have been really helpful with my vehicle.
Excellent quality repair work done on car. Very informative and communicative staff/mechanic. Straightforward and honest inspection. Thank you ☺️🙏
Excellent work performed on two Toyota’s and a Saab. Reasonable prices for good repairs no unnecessary work performed Polite and knowledgeable staff 5 stars
Outstanding! They are nice and understanding. They got my car in and out of there quickly. If something goes wrong again I will contact those guys first.
Love this location. The mechanics are informative and friendly. Its nice to experience a place where the employees enjoy their job and share that with the customers. Thanks ♡
My car was making a hymming sound when I accelerate. I made a appointment at this shop. The technician was able to pin point the noise my car was making was my right rear wheel bearing. He work on replacing it right away. Everyone was kind and professional. The place was clean. I was very pleased with my visit and will recommend others.
Excellent cust service...rep very nice and courteous. ..car ready in a very reasonable amt of time...services performed exceeded expectations, car drives so much better now.
Unprofessional - for mechanics to be 5 years plus like they brag. They are not much normal than the crack heads who work for a little bit of change. Long wait. Rude manager. If you need a real job done - don’t come here. It is not run like a regular shop with professionals. Shut this place down!
Had my headlights replaced. They were super quick and professional. The service from when you walk into the shop til you walk out was outstanding.
Steve called me with diagnosis and had my car repaired promptly and pricing was very competitive and fair! Definitely will use again and refer friends and family! A reliable and trustworthy shop!!!
Needed to get OEM exhaust put back on. Work was flawless with 0 leaks. Tech also pointed out there was a leak elsewhere in engine bay and gave me pointers to where it may be leaking from which I was able to fix. Awesome shop. Definitely recommend.
Meineke South Plainfield is Professional, Reputable and CONSISTENT. I cannot overstate the consistency aspect of this business. We have been customers for almost 12 years. We have a 16 year old dodge ram. These guys have kept her running smoothly the entire time. They have the patience to LISTEN to you and complete the job requested of them. No upselling unless it pertains to your own safety. They have FIRM, FAIR pricing. Meineke South Plainfield are pure professionals. You wont need to do the repair shop hop. These guys are the last hop you need.
Fantastic service, they even worked with me to find a cheaper fix for what was wrong with my car, and it was done faster than I expected. I highly recommend this business.
Was very busy and had to wait a looooong time for a five minute job! I felt ignored! I told them when I got there that I needed a battery and they said it would take an hour I was there more than two hours. Because they sent out to the auto store two blocks away for the battery. Had I known about the auto place they sell n install them for FREE I’d have gone there. Workers were very nice n professional and I went to Meineke because I had my brakes done there in the past n had a good experience so I didn’t know about the other auto place. When I was about to leave after waiting sooo long then Steve said hold on a moment and the worker appeared so I let them do the job. Now in the end I find out I got a CHEAP BATTERY! NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT! Only good fir 18 months!That does me nooo good nooo peace of mind!Well now I know that Meineke just does brakes n exhaustsReceived a call from Henry to come back n they would replace the battery for a better warranty.Was very happy and got a three year warranty instead! Thank u guys!
Very quick and professional service for my vehicle inspection. Had me out in no time! Much better than waiting in line at the DMV, would highly recommend.
My transmission unexpectedly died last week. I had my car towed to Meineke at the recommendation of my cousin (I forgot I took my car there earlier in the year for my inspection). I dealt with Mike, who is very kind, thorough and professional. After checking things out on his end, he was informed that my transmission was no longer in warranty. I did my own research regarding my warranty and he suggested that I contact my dealership with the information I had. Long story short, I ended up having my transmission replaced at my dealership. I informed Mike of the details and he encouraged me to have it done there too..LOL.. He answered all of my questions regarding what type of work would be done and what the cost wouldve been if Meineke did the work. I was very impressed with the level of transparency and customer service. They will be my go to repair shop if I ever need them again! Thank you!
Always professional, always courteous, always thorough.
Super Service at this Meineke. Been going here for 15 years and Steve and Mike really look after the customers. Cost conscious for the customer and they keep my old 2005 Jeep Wranger going. My Jeep has 220K miles on her and they give me cost efficient options. Only guys I trust my Jeep to.
Great service, guys there were super helpful when my battery died on me. Definitely the best in the area
The guy up front was very nice. However I was there for 5 hours. I needed brake service. Went in at 8 am and at 10 am nothing was done. He told me about other things that needed to be done which I didnt ask for or would have been able to afford getting done $1800 dollars worth of work. I did not know they were going to check all of this. So after I chose just the brakes I wasnt finished until 1 pm. I was the second person there and all others were done before me. I personally feel if I wanted all the other information I would have asked for it.
Nasty winter day, flat tire on Rt 287. They took me right in and put on spare for very fair price. I needed a new tire but their price was much hire than tire store back home so I passed. I understand they dont specialize in new tires.
I had a quick fast and friendly experience here. The people were great. The service was great. I got my exhaust and flex pipes fixed. Pricing wasn’t bad. Would recommend. Very cool people. I was in and out, told me it was going take 45mins but it took less than that. Thank you!
The guys that work here know what they are doing and always (personally) keep me up to date and what options I have with the repairs on my car/cars. Ive never had any issues with repairs done from this shop, and the repairs hold up pretty well. I have gotten pretty good values from them, and Mike in specific that works at this shop seems to always do his best to keep a pretty smooth business flow and is always willing to work with you. Also the guy that works as the clerk is always friendly and keeps it professional.
This place is the BEST! As someone who knows nothing about cars, I needed a place and people I could trust to do the right thing by my 10-year old car. I come back to Meineke every time because the service is top-notch and the prices are the BEST. They have always gone out of their way for me, are always on time, and provide the best service! Would definitely recommend!
I read reviews before I went and was I glad I went. These guys know what they are doing and they are completely professional. They went through hoops to help me out and I am so glad they did. I 100% recommend them to anyone that need work done on their car. I have been to quite a few shops before them (3) and I know how hard it is to find a good shop let alone a great shop. Trust me when I tell you you wont regret going here. This shop has become my go to. The mechanic that worked on my car was named Danny. This guy is the truth, thanks again.
Work was done on time as promised, always kept me updated to the status of my vehicle. Car is running great
These guys here are simply the best, I called in about 15 minutes before closing time like an absolute jerk but the team took me anyway. I know how much of an inconvenience I was but they did it anyway. I will definitely be doing more business here for the simple fact that these guys took great care of me and gave me top notch service.
Very professional, up front no BS. I feel like they treated me faily and always ask before performing work. They take the time to explain what needs to be done without pressuring. Highly recommend.
As pleasant as the customer service was, I have to give a bad review because none of the employees wore a mask. We still are in a pandemic. I can not trust this business to care for my vehicle when they’re not concerned about the health and safety of customers and themselves. I did not see signs up implementing the wearing of face masks either. They were more concerned with not getting my car floor dirty with their paper mat than of concerning themselves with wiping down my vehicle and also entering my vehicle without a face mask exposing themselves and myself to this deadly airborne virus. I will not be returning to this place of business in the future until safety procedures are implemented.
Very professional and personal. Had more of a local mechanic vibe than a corporation.
This Meineke is awesome. I have been going there for many years. My daughter did too and still travels there living further away now. Steve is wonderful at his job always friendly with a smile and most of all professional. My car is serviced quickly and with the best of care Thanks guys. Sue Ventrice
Great mechanics A++, honest and very knowledgeable. Very polite and courteous staff, and extremely professional. Would highly recommend and use again in the future.
The guys are very friendly and knowledgeable. Front desk experience is professional. You will feel comfortable that you are getting the best price with honesty. I would recommend this location for all your car services.
I recently got an oil change and tire rotation here. I noticed some minor issues afterwards w the balance and brought my car back in, expecting to pay a fortune. Mike was nice enough to get the problems fixed for me along with explaining my next steps in a way that made sense to me. Very professional and affordable. Thanks Mike!
Im shocked at how honest, decent, and affordable this shop is. I came here for a second opinion on my Fords exhaust leak after my dealership quoted me $2,200 to replace the system.... Mike at Meineke called me quickly after I dropped my car off and explained everything really clearly for me. He told me they could save most of the exhaust system.. PLUS, they noticed my license plate bulb was out and helped me with that. He then quoted me LESS THAN A QUARTER of what the dealership quoted me. I was shocked but also realized how I was being screwed over by the dealership. So thank you to MIKE and the Meineke mechanics for being honest, helpful and kind. I will absolutely be coming back for all my car troubles/maintenance.
Service was good did not have any problem
They are very professional here at the South Plainfield shop.they honor their word.never had any problems going there.they are all polite.thank you all for your service
Customer for over 20 years alway very happy with the service and the prices are fair. I am a single parent with two additional cars and young drivers and I sometimes I need someone to check tires or listen to a noise they are always happy to check to make sure the cars are safe for them to drive . Thank you!!!!!!!
The service was very good. The issue was resolved quickly.
The people from Meineke is outstanding! The technician looked over my car and provided a very reasonable estimate for exhaust repairs and the work was done in a very prompt manner!! This location was very clean. Highly recommend this facility!
Staff was great from start to finish. I took my wife’s Honda Civic there for air conditioning service and Michael explained everything thing to me before working on the civic. Air condition was nice and cold when I left. I would recommend using This Meineke to all my family and friends. Thanks again Mike.
Fast and courteous service!
Mike and Steve are very great to work with they will check your vehicle and give you a good affordable estimate and keep your car in good running condition I always recommend Meineke of South Plainfield to all my friends and relatives
I had a wonderful experience at this Mieneke. Everyone was very professional and friendly. Hassan did a wonderful job with my car. He’s very knowledgeable and polite. I would recommend this facility for all car needs.
Fair and accurate prices the service due diligence
Thank you so much Mike for your excellent customer service and good value for services.
We were out of state and they were so nice and helpful!! Thank you!!
Positive experience. Fairly priced. Would recommend.
The staff members, Henry and Steve were professional and made me feel welcome. I had come in only for an a/c check and possibly a repair. The policy, I guess is to check everywhere. Henry called me back with a short laundry list of repairs. I chose what I could afford. My van was ready as promised. I felt the company did a fine job although I questioned certain a/c repairs. Repairs that were clarified by Steve. Thank you, Meineke!
Because of Covid-19, the lines at the state inspection centers have been horrible! I tried 3 times on different days and different times since July. I have also been seeking out private businesses to get this done. Finally I happened on Meineke! One phone call, I got the appointment I needed. The employees were professional and friendly and my service was completed in a timely manner. For me, this was a great value!
Very professional environment and helpful staff, front desk was exceptionally helpful. Would definitely recommend using them fast, reliable, and efficient service. Five stars hands down!!!!!
Meineke in South Plainfield, NJ performed excellent work on my car in a professional & timely fashion.Updating my review from “happy” to “more happy”. Meineke in South Plainfield has done several separate jobs for me over the past year & has repeatedly done excellent work @ a reasonable rate & the work is always performed accurately & professionally. I will continue to have them keep my fleet in great shape.
Transparent and no pressure. I got a much higher quote for brakes and rotors from pep boys and honestly they seemed like they were trying to sell me. Mieneke quoted me a much lower price and didn’t put any pressure on me.
Helped us fix our flat tire right before closing. Very accommodating.
I was very pleased with the service The manager and staff were excellent, kind and courteous. My brakes job was done correctly and in a timely manner. They also Uber me a ride home and a pick up back to the location. I definitely recommend this particular Meineke. I will go back for further service recommended by them.
Great customer service and great work to the car. I am very happy as a customer and will definitely refer this place to more of my peers for jobs similar. My job included a welding to my exhaust system FYI.
Professional and friendly service every time. I notice also that the workers all get along great. They seem to enjoy each other and their work. Same for the two guys working the desk. They enjoy one another and they know their repeat customers by name.
Great experience with the guys in the shop. They treated me with respect and I highly recommend anyone that needs help to consider then. A+
Excellent staff. Very friendly. Simplicity is their charm. Wishing all success for them in their business.
Location is clean and 5 star service. The staff was so polite and accommodating. If in the local area and looking for car service needs, hands down a reputable referred location! Thank you!!
Good experience. They are very professional and shown me what to do and what not to. I took my Hyundai Sonata 2013 with the detailed analysis from Hyundai dealer. I saved around 400$ from the estimated quoted by Hyundai and that’s obvious when we do outside company service centers.The person who attended my car has good knowledge on the items and he explained and shown its current condition of the parts and what to charge and what not to do now. That made me delighted.Overall they know how to handle their customers happy. Not greedy to snatch the money from customer by replacing all the silly things for the sake. For example when I asked for my ac cooling is low and looking for a maintenance, the shop manager told me that ‘if it’s not necessary and getting little cool, you wait until next summer because winter is near now.’ These kind of words will make customers happy and will get a feel that they matters each penny of the customer.If I want to say a con for the sake, the wait time is little high to attend the car. Not because they are sitting idle but they are busy with other customers. So I’m ready to wait 🙂
