I did a walk in when the store opened on Tuesday. I requested an oil change, tune up, road trip inspection and for my front drivers side headlight to get fixed. The owner, Tommy, verbally acknowledged my headlight issue asking some questions about it. Total was about $400. At the end of the day, I received a call from Meineke saying that the tune up would be extra as they had put the wrong information in and I would need more spark plugs. Total went to $590. They also said it would be staying over night and worked on first thing in the morning. I agreed. The next morning I received a call saying after starting to rotate my tires they see my drivers side brake was uneven and recommended a brake replacement for all brakes, making the total around $1600. I said I wasnt going to keep increasing how much I owed, and one brake being uneven did not sound that serious. I asked how much it would be to just replace that one brake and they said the total would be around $1200. I declined and requested we stick to what we already agreed. I was able to pick up my car around 5pm, to which after paying and walking out to get my car from the overfill lot, I see my headlight was not fixed at all. I checked the paperwork and see he had not put the request on there, but that there was a road trip inspection on there which would have included checking the headlights. While the oil change and tune up were fine for what I paid for, I am not comfortable recommending them to my friends here in town as my headlight was not inspected and should have been inspected for a road trip test. I will have to schedule another appointment with another car shop so now I will have lost extra time, money and another day using my car while I am preparing for a cross country move (which I had also explained to the owner as to what exactly I wanted done for my car before I hit the road).

So slow it took 2.5 hours...I though I would have another birthday. Store manage had to show the I suppose new help how to tighten the lugs on my tire rotation change and how to torque the lugs nuts. And etc.....not giving me the greatest faith to put new pads on the 4 brake rotors. I decided to wait.......🤪

While I cant say it was on-time, whats more important is that they were willing to put in the extra time. Will definitely go back for future issues.

I wish I read the prior reviews before I took my car for an oil change to this place. A simple 30 minute oil change took almost 2 hours (though I was there 10 minutes after they opened and no one was in line ahead of me). My experience matched several past reviewers in terms of rude service, lack of respect for customers’ time, and unprofessional attitude of the owner, who mentioned several times that his oil changes take an hour and half to two because he does a good job, which is so appalling as the technician that worked on our car smoked cigarettes continuously while aimlessly traipsing through the workshop looking for tools. The owner did nothing to speed up the oil change though I mentioned him about an appointment I had and he even went to the extent of stopping the oil change if I need to leave. How unprofessional!

I came here to get an oil change and a new battery for my car. They were honest and helpful, telling me that they had no preferred vendor to buy a battery from for my make and model of car- therefore making it more expensive than it needed to be. They told me, if I went and picked up a battery myself- they would put it in for $25. They drove me to an auto parts store and we picked one up. They put it in for me and did my oil change. It was really refreshing to see an auto repair place be really upfront, honest and transparent about their prices. I felt very comfortable that I was not getting ripped off and that my car was in good hands. Chad and Tommy were so friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back again if my car needs any other repairs. Thanks guys!!!!

Came in for an oil change. Called the day before to make an appointment but they don’t take them (which should seriously be changed). Arrived shortly after open and was told it would be a “minute”..which meant hour. Waited an hour and was told it was going to be over 20 mins longer (mind you my hood had yet to even be popped). I went to meineke because I’ve trusted them in other states I’ve lived in. I feel like I got really poor service at this one. I told them repeatedly I had to be getting on road for a memorial in VA. I’d be more patient under normal circumstances but they didn’t care. Nothing was prioritized. Most of the workers were walking back and forth rather than servicing vehicles and I had no impression that they cared about my business. Went to Valvoline and was helped immediately. Will not be back to this meineke.

Brought my truck in and it sat in his parking lot for 5 months. I would drive by at least a couple times a month and the truck was in the same spot. Never moved..I don’t even believe they opened the hood till I showed up and still could not diagnose the problem.

Review №28

They did a great job keeping me up to date on all issues. I have an old volkswagon. It is hard to find mechanics that know anything around Southside Savannah especially about volkswagons. It was the usual price for this area which I can not ever afford and hate. But way better deal then Savannah tires both locations. Savannah tire charges around 130 dollars for diagnostics that they cant even do. My car was a pain because my friend hit something. It didnt take a super super long time to fix either but longer then usual because had such damages. Do not ever go to Rollin tire on Skidaway. They had car a month for a radiator they never put in. Also rolling tires environmental procedures are so messed up and harmful. Thanks again Meinike for helping me out. Call me this week for my ac line.

Review №29

Not polite. We waited long for oil change and the guys were searching for tools, going outside and inside. We told him that we have another appointment, he bluntly say, he can stop the work and we can take our car and go. He dont want to finish it.

Review №31

This was my third time getting my oil changed at this location. The first two times were fine, no complaints. The service was completed when I was told.This experience was different. I was told that my car would take 3.5 hours. Which was fine. It was Saturday and I knew they would be busy. I left for a couple of hours and came back, thinking I would only be waiting 1-2 hours. It’s been over 5 hours and my car has not been serviced. I’ve seen serval mechanics but only two are actively working and others walking around smoking cigarettes.Maybe the decline in the quality of service is because the regular supervisor had left. I didn’t want to give a super low rating because I have received good service when I came to this location before. This experience was disappointing.Update at hour 7: I called to check on the status of my car and was told there was no ticket for my vehicle. I will not be returning to this location.Update at hour 7.5: my car was never touched.

Review №34

When I spoke on the phone with one of the men from Meineke in Savannah, he was polite and gave me a quote for new brake pads. When I dropped off my car and they did an inspection, I got a call back from them with a final price AFTER tax and labor, which was exactly the same as what we discussed on the phone the previous day. I am extremely happy to have an auto shop that is up front with their pricing and didn’t try to give me the run around by throwing on extra charges. Would highly recommend for brake jobs!

Review №35

The owner at the counter was nice but misleading, he lead me to believe that I was getting a diagnostic on my a/c system but said no found no leeks filled me up with and extra pound and a half and later to find out that I had the same problem paying him $162 out the door really for nothing. I wind up going to another automotive shop firestone and paying $42 for them to check the system and they told me the overall problem. He could have did the same thing too, but he told me to come back later to find the leek, and put dye in, but firestone said that the dye was already in it. Its hard to find a honest straight up mechanic shop that you can feel good about not overcharging and taking advantage of you. Its tough.

I had a disagreement with the service that was provided and the manager of the store handled it quickly and professionally. I will continue doing business here solely because of that. However, I will note that the rates charged for some repairs are pretty high but with the same token they will get your car repaired in a timely fashion.

Look, its exactly what you are looking for. Had to get some brake-work. The waiting room was comfortable with a TV (that they will change channels on if you ask), coffee and a vending machine. They got right on it. Told me the best option was not the most expensive option. And the price was right. My car didnt crash. Yup, thats what I wanted.

Review №45

Went to get some exhaust work done on my vehicle. After I drove an hour to there, I was told that the exhaust guy went to lunch and will be back soon. An hour and half later he finally showed back up. Then, my vehicle was finally brought into the shop. It took them almost another 2 hours to to cut a piece of pipe and weld it. I walked outside to look underneath my truck and the welds where absolutely terrible. The dual exhaust tips where uneven and the exhaust leaks at the welds. The mechanic also said that he needs to take a break. After being there for almost 5 hours I told him I’m not waiting anymore and that I’ll take it as it is. Needs less to say, I have to take my truck somewhere else to fix the exhaust because they did a terrible job. Already spent $225 to fix nothing. Place is a dump. Poor time management, service was terrible. Everyone standing around smoking cigs. Would not recommend

Review №49

I took them my vehicle simply for break pads. There was not one single issue with my vehicle. The breaks I had were fine as I always stay ahead of schedule with my maintenance. Now my breaks speak horribly. Upon telling them to fix it they started telling me that I should have let them perform other services and that there could be many reasons why my breaks are now squeaking. I’ll never spend a dime with this place again

This review is one year overdue... Ive been taking my vehicle to Meineke for a year now, and it was the reviews that I read on google that made me decide to do business with them. Tommy, the owner, is very reliable and professional. He stands behind the work that is performed at his shop and he is willing to go beyond the call of duty to make sure that you, his customer is satisfied. There has been a couple of times that I have called him about an issue that Ive had with my vehicle and hes ask me to bring it in and has done a full inspection free of charge. To me, that says a lot about his character. I moved to another city and I still take my car to him. If you are looking for an honest, dependable place to take your car to get service, I would highly suggest Meineke on White Bluff Rd.

I went to the location on White Bluff in Savannah GA. Fast and friendly. Outstanding service - it was my first time there and all customers was treated like family. They have actually fun while working. I rarely see that anywhere and the price was right which is also a big bonus. I highly recommend it. 2 thumbs up for winning me over. I will definitely return. ❤️

I was only in town for a training and unfortunately had an issue that NO ONE in Savannah had the capability to fix nor show ninterest in helping to find a solution. Thomas was more than friendly and knowledgeable about my issue and he provided a solution that helped me tremendously. He was accommodating, courteous, and his customer service skills are suburb. His staff was friendly as well. They work by appointment, but my wait time as a walkin wasnt nearly as bad as Id expected. This place was a breath of fresh air! I would definitely recommend their service.

By far the most trustworthy car care center Ive been to in Savannah in my two years here! Tommy and the staff are extremely friendly, helpful and most importantly, easy on the wallet. I had been experiencing a rattle under the hood for about a year, and two other service stations could not determine the issue. Tommy and his team figured it out in 5 minutes, and within 30 minutes the heat shield was fixed for less than $30. I will continue to bring my car here for oil changes, tire rotations, and all other automotive services.

Review №86

The owner, Tommy, is a wonderful man. He is the ONLY reason I am leaving 2 stars. He is very nice and willing to help but I cant say the same for his mechanics. Ive been taking my car here since February to be fixed and every time I drive it off their lot, I experience more problems. After spending well over $700 and suffering with a car I am still scared to drive, I decided to take it to another shop who spent over 7 hours running tests and diagnostics to figure out the main problem that has caused the other issues. The mechanics at Meineke failed to discover that my head gasket was blown and had I not taken it to a far more superior shop, I would have probably ended up stranded on the side of the road. Will NEVER take another vehicle here again.

Review №88

Savannah for its size doesnt have enough good and honest mechanics to trust. From the few we have, Tommy at Meineke is one I trust. Hes always willing to give the extra time to double check on prices and whens not necessary he would tell and save you few bucks. Anyway, he was willing to tow my vehicle free to his place, so long as he did the work on it; which was understandable, (He did tell me not get get used to it) and I appreciate it. Also, he was right-on a second opinion job and saved me a bundle when another shop wanted $60 before just looking at the car and Tommy charged $45. I do appreciate it Tommy.

Texaco always knows what to do with my car and how to quickly get things done.

Ive been here three times and I always feel like Im getting honest service. I like that they will update you on the status of your car and ask you before they do anything, so you arent surprised when you get up to pay the bill. I also appreciate that they give you options instead of just sneaking in some expensive, unneeded service. Only downside is that youve got to decide to dedicate your day to it, or get there super early, because its first come, first serve, and depending on what you need done, you might have to sit around and wait. Plus side is that they always have good movies to kill the time with.

Not recommended. Tail pipe fix and muffler replace. Gave quote with no options so expected replace with like parts. Welds leaked and muffler was cheapest possible option.
