Meineke Car Care Center

The shop is run by John & Marie, a young, friendly couple who know to treat customers like friends. I came in for an oil change and rear brakes. I was told by my dealer that I needed new brake shoes and wheel cylinders. The dealer price was outrageous so I shopped around. This Meineke asked all the right questions and gave me the best price. Yet this is not the reason why their service left me amazed. The technician questioned why I needed to change my brake shoes when they looked brand new. He brought me inside and showed me what a new brake shoe looks like and my brake shoes looked exactly the same. My car needed new cylinders but no brakes shoes needed to be replaced. They gave me a complete inspection and made me aware of recommended services but never pushed me. They made it clear that I was paying for their advice and they would be happy to take care of my car when it was convenient for me.



An overall positive experience at a mechanic? I never thought it could happen, but now I've got a shop in Fort Lauderdale I can recommend to my friends and family.

I wouldn't be surprised if the good review before me was written by the manager himself...



First of all, they lied to me that an oil change will take them only 5 minutes to complete. I sat there over 1 hour looking at my car while the hood was up but no one even began to pump in oil. After I asked the mechanic what was going on, he began pumping the oil into my car like he was doing me a favor. After he was done, no one told me that my car was finished as I was sitting and waiting in the lobby. No one showed me that the oil level was full. No one placed a new sticker on my windshield indicating the next time I should replace my oil. I was sitting there waiting until I asked them if the car was finished. I asked the manager why he told me that it would only take 5 minutes and he replied with “you know there are a lot of other oil change places you can go to”. Great way to talk to your costumer numb nuts! I also know a lot of other places he and his workers could go...but I'm not going to get into that. With a flooded bathroom and more flies flying around than a pile of elephant $hit, I for sure will not come back to that place ever again. Thank you so much for opening my eyes and notifying me of other oil change places. That's where I'll be going from now on! I didn’t know that if I would pay with “cash”, it would be cheaper for me! Apparently it would be cheaper for them also. Could it be the reason they wanted me to pay with cash and have NO receipt is so they would NOT have it in the system and it could NOT be reported? Hmmmm can you say “no show of income” and “putting the money in the pocket instead of the register”?



P.S.

After my visit over there, my car began to leak oil. If you really looking forward to having the worst day of your life and your car broken short time after that, these guys are professionals at making it happen. This place should be on "Ripley's Believe It or Not" for the worst auto-repair place ever.

they had my car fixed and running in no time. employees where nice
