Awesome service all around! Friendly, fast and cost was very reasonable. Came in for a serpentine belt replacement. In and out super quick, under an hour and less than $100. Would highly recommend and come back again. Thank you!
Cleanest oil change center Ive ever been too. Price was better than anywhere in vernon. The staff the most cordial and understanding ever! Go there for car maintenance.
Excellent experienced people. Straight forward. Prices are as reasonable as can be. Quality work. Been there 3 times with no complaints. I like that they know what they are doing.
Everything in the name lives up to its meaning and values! EVERYONE there really goes above and beyond to show that they CARE and are fully knowledgeable in what they do. I had a somewhat common issue with my exhaust and within a span of 24 hours (from the Initial diagnosis appointment, to parts ordering, and the repair job, itself) I was back on the road again with an even better sounding exhaust than what it was when I first bought my car early last year! The pricing was BEYOND fair, as well and exactly as estimated/quoted to me. No surprises. No gimmicks. For as long as Im residing in the area, this place will have my business, without question. I suggest to others who are researching mechanics in the area should do the same. Look no further. You will not be disappointed.
I did an oil change and they said my drain plug was stripped and the second guy said sorry, Then said I needed an oil pan and gasket, it was gonna be $300 dollars plus labor 🤧🤧🤣 it was an old guy in the front desk! So I was dripping oil for 1 whole week! I did tell them my dad did mechanic and he’s not even licensed so when he checked it all he did was clean the drain plug and tightened it! He said it was just loose! So do not go to them cuz they’re trash! Sad my dad 56 been doing mechanic his whole life and knows more than them without license 😭😭🤧 btw I still got the papers from when did the oil change! 😌💯
They completely ripped me off. They charge for something they did not do. My car was rattling and they said it was some kind of belt. They charged me hundreds but when I immediately left the problem still persisted. I brought it to a dealer and they fixed it. Scam artists. Seems kind of criminal to charge for something you dont do. Will be reporting them and disputing charge with my credit card.
Got Rear brake pads, rotors and calipers serviced in July and it is currently September. Since then, rear tire Calipers were too tight to the point they were causing destruction to the rotors and new pads. The service and pads were supposed to be warranted as specified on the receipt. Fortunately, we did NOT go back to the Vernon location and instead got some great assistance from the Rocky Hill meineke. The Vernon location did not want to honor the Warranty and we are now here paying another $450 for something that was supposed to be serviced in July. Vernon Meineke in fact made the situation WORSE. Please for the sake of your car and your wallet go to the Rocky Hill location or a place that will just do better. The managers name is Stew and I recommend not to trust his judgement because it seems as though this is not a one time occurrence based on the information from the other locations.
Very upset with vernon, CT location. Stu-the owner, charged my wife and son forRotors “caliper and slide service” ! Pd $150.00 for labor. Got the car home and it started grinding this never happened before repair. Had to bring it to another Meineke and pay another $150 labor!!!!! Total $466.00 at Rocky Hill Meineke that actually did the repair and $419.00 Vernon Meineke who did not change caliper. Do not go to Vernon, they rip you off!!! Almost $900.00 spent. Called Corporate they do not help. They say they are independent franchises! Excuses!
I brought in my 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 and my 2005 Buick Lasabre. Between my two older vehicles I got 1 new sub-frame, new gas and break lines in one, and while only the AC was working in the Buick when I brought the vehicles in, the heater and AC now work in both vehicles. I say honestly without hesitation that car repair shops simply doesnt get any better.Combine the quality of work performed on my vehicles with how quickly they made the repairs and were sending me on my way with a smile and you feel lucky. But when I add the price I paid for the repairs with the customer service that I received during every single visit and then think about the quality of their work and the speed of the service and again I say without hesitation that it just does not get any better!Between the extremely knowledgeable group of mechanics working in the garage and the guys inside behind the counter you have a winning combination that has my business for life!Thanks Chris & the entire Meneike staff!
Excellent service. Friendly staff
Sue and Stu have been so helpful today. Major car problems and short timelines, but these awesome folks have been such a huge help. Thank you so much!
Best mechanics..best prices...The only place I will take either of my vehicles!!Thank You 😊🙏😊
Went in thinking my wheel bearing was the issue and expected to spend anywhere around $500 for the service/parts. Dropped car off at 10 a.m. and Stew had a diagnosis for me by 11:30. Told me it was not the wheel bearing but a rotor issue and I would save a butt ton of money due to this. Ended up paying $130 and the car drives as good as new. Car was done and ready to go by 12:30. No more shaking of the passenger tire or when I brake. Will DEFINITLEY return.
Owner and manager were both extremely friendly and honest. My car was fixed quickly and at a competitive price. The shop was exercising caution in regards to Covid, and everyone had on masks as well as taking additional measures to ensure appropriate distancing. I am 100% confident that my car was in good hands, and I will be using this shop exclusively from now on.
Honestly 1 of the best run business Ive seen in a very long time. People extremely friendly, professional, and knowledgeable l. Prices were more than reasonable. Entire store both inside and outside were immaculate. If needing service on your car go anywhere get prices and save this for last cause in my opinion this is where youll end up. EXCELLENT PLACE!!!!
As of this month, I’ve been coming here for the past 5 years. Stew and his team earned my loyalty when I moved to the area, and began shopping for repair rates. Stew’s team assessed my car, told me exactly what my vehicle needed, and explained that the other shops were up-selling unnecessary services.Also, there at least 2 occasions when Stew’s shop repaired shoddy work done by others because I had car work done while I was working out-of-state.Done.Stew’s place is the only place I bring my car for repairs and regular maintenance.
Great, friendly, fast service. Well priced too!!
Came in expecting to need a brake job when I heard squealing when applying the brakes. It turned out the brakes pads, rotors, and drums seemed to be fine. They just needed to be cleaned up and lubricated properly to get rid of the squeal. Happy to hear when they told me after the inspection. Its nice to have an honest repair shop. Some shops would have tried to charge for a complete brake job front and back. I appreciate the honesty! Reasonably priced too!
My wife and I have been going to this location for several years and wouldnt go anywhere else at this point. The people are great, friendly, knowledgeable, and honest, and I feel like they actually care about us and our cars. I definitely recommend them!
I have been going here for years because ofthe service; attention to detail and with confidencethat they have my best interests at heart. Fair pricing,excellent service, honesty and integrity wins every time.
Super fast and affordable! Kind people who know what they’re doing, and clear that they want to help customers, and aren’t just out to make a buck. Great experience here!
Ive had nothing but good service here. Ive been going to them for all my car needs for a year now and they are honest, efficient, and extremely reasonable on pricing. I highly recommend their services.
Service was like family, I was treated well and the car service was exceptional.
I enjoy dropping my Car off at this location. Management is straight up with you on what needs to be fixed. They give you a price out the door. No hidden costs! This location does not pay its mechanics by the turn of the screw! Im a customer for life here.
Took me w/o appt. Thanks. Did great job. I hit a speed bump too hard and damaged a resonator. They were able to quickly repair vehicle. I plan to use them again, but I will make an appt first.
Ive used these guys for year. They do good work at reasonable prices. Best part - theyre honest!
All of the above. I never have to wait very long for my car to be done. Nice people. Good prices
I went in to get all 4 pads and discs replaced imagining they all probably need to be changed. It was all priced out and everything. When they checked the car out the owner came back and said your front pads and discs are actually good, you just need the rears. They could have changed all as I asked and make twice the amount of money from me but they didn’t rip me off. Feels good to know there are still auto service places out there like that. I would definitely recommend checking out this place. First time here so will update on rest of the experience but so far it’s great! Very honest people! 🙂👌
These guys are awesome, especially Chris. My partner got locked out of his truck (it’s old school and has a separate key for door and ignition) and he went in to the shop and these guys completely helped him out. One call to AAA that didn’t have to get made. Didn’t get anything fixed here, but, you couldn’t ask for nicer and more attentive staff. If we ever need a muffler...
As always great service. I had a couple of issues that they were able to diagnose and correct as expected. The primary reason I brought my truck in was because it was shaking pretty bad at highway speed. They checked the suspension and said everything there looked fine so they suspected a tire balance issue. They balanced the tires and the problem is gone.
Had my oil change,but they had hidden charges I found out once I was paying my bill
Very Professional. I was taken right in at the set appointment time. I also wanted my tires rotated and was all set to pay for the service I asked them to do when I scheduled my appointment. They told me I didnt need my tires rotated because they did them during my last visit.
I will definitely be going back for all of my car needs. Meineke is very time efficient, friendly and value their customers! Thank you
I had my radiator flushed. The manager was working and was very polite, let me know about the condition of my radiator. I would recommend this Meineke station to anyone!
Normally I dont prefer chain shops, but this is one definite exception. Stu (the manager) gets his hands dirty and gives a more than fair rate for any job I need done. His crew is great about getting the job done quickly and right. Service is always pleasant and accommodating and I have yet to see any indication of them milking the work. I highly recommend this shop for any brake or exhaust work you need done!
Made appointment for 10:30 am picked up car at 3pm! all work done as asked! Great service.very nice friendly people and no hassles or hard sells for other services! Answered any question I had. Enjoy bringing my cars there!
Honest, quick and fair priced. Its wasnt my muffler, but a rusted bracket. They even sanitized my key when they returned it.
I had a 7:30am appt. The car was in the bay by 7:40, diagnosis by 7:50 and repaired ready to go before 8:30. Stu was great to work with. Will definitely go back.
The Vernon Meineke is the best! Chris is quick to diagnose the problem and explains the repairs needed and pricing. Sue is always great at making appointments around your work schedule. If youre looking for a shop that cares about their customers, the Vernon Meineke is the place to go.
They offer fast reliable service at a fair price. Family oriented store. Would recommend to anyone who asks
Fast and clean service....in and out in under 30 mins for oil change...coupon as well so under $30
When I had a problem with my car a friend recommended I see Chris at Meineke. Chris said they would diagnose the problem and call me. Within about 30 minutes he called and gave me the estimate. Three hours later he called, the car was ready for me. I picked it up, all work finished in record time ( I thought it would take st least a day!). Friendly, fast service done well I highly recommend this place and these people.Betty Balesano,,a very happy grandmother
Amazing service. They took care of me and save the day. Thank you very much
Great service, great atmosphere, friendly, clean and quick service. A very enjoyable visit. Would recommend this place to anyone I know.
My car had some minor damage during a road trip (a metal part came loose under the car). I was hours from home and pulled into this Meineke. They handle it quickly and with care. I was on my way within 90 minutes. Thank you for your work!
Unbelievably friendly and fantastic customer service! Stew, Shannon, and the crew here are extremely accommodating. This is my go to spot for any car repair needs. Highly recommend!
Stew, the owner is a incredibly trustworthy guy. His employees do a great job. But the prices are too high. Thats it. Id give it 5 stars if the price was lower. I dont know if its because Im to cheap(and poor).
Honest always affordable
As always, I get good prices, good service, and they don’t try to sell you on products you don’t need which I always appreciate.
Ive been to a few Meinekes throughout CT and this is by far the cleanest and friendliest Ive been to yet. The service was fast and the pricing was less than expected. Id definitely recommend my friends to come to this location.
They were honest about what was wrong with my vehicle, didnt take advantage, and were attentive. They were very friendly and straightforward.
They always take me in quickly and are responsive to my questions and concerns. Prices are fair and the coupons are always nice!!
The staff seems very polite, friendly and genuine. They also seem eager to help.That is where it ends. I came into have my brakes looked at because they where making a noise. A mechanic took my.car for a test drive. When he returned he pulled into a bay. After about 15 minutes he came out to discuss what he found. He began with a big speech about what he felt the car needed, not once talking about the brake noise. So concerned about the up sell they ignored why I came there in the first place. I asked twice about the brake noise and after the second time the mechanic just said clean your brakes that should do something for you. They are so focused on getting the larger pay day they make the customer feel stupid for coming in for what they feel isnt worth their time.The customer area was certainly clean and nice. Most have been paid for by unsuspecting customers that they took advantage of.
Was able to accomodate my needs quickly, and at very good price.
Thanks for the great service today doing some weld repair on my custom exhaust. Quality looks great, price was great. Thanks for fitting me in last minute. Excellent customer service!
Good people who take pride in providing excellent service. Managing this covi19 environment well.
Stu and the gang are always on top of their game. Been a customer for over 15 years. Fast & reliable service!
I have been going here for my auto needs for 3years. Always felt that I have been treated fairly and the work has been done right everytime on both my cars.
I believe we should always support businesses in the towns we live in. Doing business with Meineke is much more then that, everyone, from receptionist to the mechanics bend over backwards to satisfy each and every customer. I wouldnt think of going anywhere else, saving money doesnt replace the quality of work that you receive from everyone there. There is No other choice but Mieneke of Vernon.
I always have a positive experience at Meineke with oil changes. Professional, pleasant, and always done in a timely manner!
I was recommended by a friend to take my Ford Focus to be fixed by these guys. I was greeted by Nick and Sue. After a few minutes of conversation, I knew I had made the right choice. They were both professional, friendly and extremely helpful. My car is running better than it has in months and I will definitely be going back again when my next service is due.
Had my oil changed, very clean, very fast
Best honest mechanics.
Awesome service. awesome people.
Fantastic service for over 10 years!
Great service good price people friendly
Stuart understood the issue with my car. He took his time explaining the issue and how much it would cost. No hidden fees or up charges. The work was excellent. I now take all our cars to Meineke.
Great place to do business with. Great folks !
The receptionist who answers the phone (Sue) is extremely rude, inconsiderate, and condescending. I have called this establishment three separate times and each time she speaks this way to me. Consider finding some employees that show empathy and customer service skills.
Overall they provide excellent service at a reasonable price
These guys always go above and beyond, Chris especially. I recieved coupons for other companys service but I refuse because once you find someone you trust with your car you cannot go back.
Excellent service and honesty highly reccomended
Super friendly, fair prices, can’t beat them
I went there for an alignment and my new tires to be mounted and balanced. The job was done perfectly and at a good price. They didnt try to upcharge me for anything.
I have gone to the one in Vernon and they are great! Friendly, clean, fair prices. Great staff! Yeahyes!
Super rude staff had a phone call and they were being super rude.
I had my car serviced here a few times. I really liked the people there. However, at my last (and final) visit, the mechanic negligently handled my oil change and thus my oil leaked from my car without my knowledge. When the signal came on, I was very surprised since I had recently changed the oil. I brought the issue to the manager and he refused to acknowledge my request to have it looked at. I had to go to another mechanic to fix the car. I will never come here again.
Minimum wait, and friendly service.
Nice staffs, applied discount automatically for me!
They will get you in and out on your way in no time but if you have to wait there is amenities in the lobby: television and coffee
I drive 45 minutes just for an oil change! Wouldnt change it for the world
Youll appreciate how everyone there is a straight shooter who wont up charge anything. On top of that, the work is always done right. Stu is a true professional!
Only place I take my car. Great service!
Only giving one Star because it wont let it give 0 . Supp to be 45 min to one hr.wait turns in to almost 3 hrs .Price of 115 doubbles after they fix one brake sensor then say there is another one bad that then found out when they went to reposition itVery strangeThe odds of two of these failing at the same time is almost impossible .Very curious since they ordered the wrong the first time .And now found another broke one .They did offer to put it back to he way it was and leave the brake light on and only charge me 40 bucks for labor for completly wasting almost 3 hours of my time .Let them do the rest of job the one I needed when I got there and the one I needed after getting there
Got charged 21.27 for an emissions test. figured this was a way for the service guy to pocket some extra cash and when i asked about it he said its always like this everywhere you go for your emissions test. Im not gonna make a big deal over it but its the principle. very disappointed.
So friendly, helpful, and efficient!
Ive been going here for years and years. The job was always done in a timely manner, done right, and done with a smile. I will always bring my car here for as long as I live in the CT area.
Great place very good work
Great service!
Great service and they treat you like family!
Friendly, fast service, the staff never pressures you into getting extra work done. They nicely advise.
Fair price and good work, also fast and efficient
Amazing place, very friendly
POOR POOR POOR POOR POORClassic bait and switch. First they tell me that to change my rotors and shpoes would be $ 454 thanks to a sell they are having and then after I dropped the car off they wanted $1,000. It was a misunderstanding I was told of course at my expense and at their benefit.A serious company would have stood by what they say, especially because it was their fault in miscommunicating, but they didnt. Without their discount the total would have been $100 less than what BMW quoted me. So I got my car back and left.As far as I am concerned its true what they say, all reputations are earned and they are no exception.Now after my post I am expecting one of their employees come here and post a faboulous review on how great this company is. Its all BS.
I took my car in for a rattle. They told me it was the timing belt and charged my like $80 saying its fixed. I immediately leave and its still rattling, doing the same exact thing! And to top things off, they scratched the side of my car. I then brought car to dealer and they found and fixed the problem immediately... a broken motor mount causing the rattling. They obviously dont know what they are doing, wasted my time and wasted my money. Considering they charged for a fix they didnt even fix, without offering to find the real problem or offer a refund, they should be avoided. They are con men crooks who couldnt find a simple rattling noise.
Great, honest professional service with reasonable pricing
Friendly and professional knowledgeable about all aspects of your automobile
Friendly and very helpful!
Staff was friendly and prompt. I dont feel like I over paid either
Top Notch, AS ALWAYS!
