Meineke on Tonnelle

Understandable to be cautious with the big name, but they saved me thousands on my old car, and everyone I’ve sent there are always happy with the results

Didn't even realize they did body work! Thanks!

They really do everything from small details, to body work, to inspections

The guy is really honest too

I sliced my exhaust on road work, and other places (including one mentioned here) quoted me at thousands, saying they needed to replace the catalytic converter.

He brought me in the shop and said “most people will probably try and get you to replace the whole unit, converter, etc.. (other quotes had me $3,000+), we can fix it right up for like… $300? And we noticed your window seal is loose, we’ll fix that too”

One friend was hesitant after they quoted her for $800 while having transmission problems.. he said it’ll probably take a day or two.. she took it to the dealership.. costs her 4x, and she didn’t see her car for 2 months..

She went back to Meineke, and hasn’t had a problem since

Google says that they are permanently closed on Tonelle. Did they move elsewhere?

I haven’t been there in a couple months, but if they closed, that certainly sucks that I’m in the same boat looking for a new mechanic lol
