This shop is the BEST!!!I am sure there are a ton of stories about shops ripping people off and over charging, but that is NOT this shop. As a woman, it is hard to find shops you can trust and this one is it! They are all professional and will explain why they recommend fixing any items they see because they know how they would treat their own cars. Very knowledgeable and super helpful in maintaining my car for years to come! My car went in for brakes and I ended up finding out all of my control arms and bushings needed replacements. Wesley worked with my warranty paperwork and got most of it covered! I didnt have to do anything for the process and now my car feels safe and way better to drive!! Thank you!!!
I took my car in for transmission maintenance and it turned out I only needed a brake light replaced, but I had them do the maintenance anyway and they were very reasonable and professional....I plan on taking my car there on a regular basis...Thanks guys 👍🏼
I had worst experience today with Meineke. This is my first visit. I had oil change and 3 more other services as well including tires check .I have paid more than $300 for all the services. After picking up my car, i noticed that 3 of my wheel covers/hubcap set were missing .Immediately i have visited the meineke service center and informed them.They were super rude and speaking like somebody stolen or you lost it while driving. I did not expect this kind of response from them for the first time customer. Not sure what technician did it. either he must have forgot to put all wheel covers/hubcap set backor did not put back well. its their fault and finally speaking rude with the first time customer.
The Manager Dave was terrific! He went Above and Beyond the call of duty to help us. He identified the problem and created a clear cut solution. Extremely courteous and professional. The world needs More like Him! TY Sooo Much Dave!!👍
Professional and friendly and fast service! Time is money and i was out less then 1hr!
Dont trust them, I went to do an Uber inspection. I ended up paying over $ 600. Supposedly, they told me I had to change the front tires and pressure sensor from both tires and they change the both front tires I pay for new the install use tires .for the tire pressure sensor unfortunately I have no doubts. I know they didnt even change the sensors so please go away from them the just thief
The guys there were amazing. I was driving with low air and they checked my tires to make sure they were ok. Everything was fast and prompt
I took my jeep so they can check the transmission, because it was making a rattling noise. They said my transmission was bad and it was going to cause 3,500 for a rebuild and 5000 for a swap. I didnt have the money so I left it alone. After a couple months I found a honest mechanic. There was no problem with the transmission. It was a piece of metal that was unwelded from the muffler that was making that noise. He did also a transmission oil change and the transmission runs strong no problem whatsoever. To think they wanted 3,500 for a rebuild. With no warranty.
Awesome service, $17.95 oil change, in and out.
Dave and his staff were outstanding, prompt service and pricing within affordable range. I highly recommend this location/ business to all customers seeking quality, great rates and fantastic service for auto repair and service!Great Work Team
I was really lucky to find this shop! I have a 1974 (46-year-old) Toyota FJ40. I stopped by and met Dave and they performed a free brake inspection, while I waited. My truck is so old it has drum brakes... I started by getting my parking brake cable and shoes replaced, old technology driveshaft brake. I went back for a complicated front disc brake conversion. They always kept me updated and provided excellent customer service. The whole team is outstanding Dave, Westley, Justin, Mike and the owner Paul. In short, great customer service, skilled technicians and very fair pricing. My old truck is way more fun to drive, now that it stops like a new one. I highly recommend this location for your automotive needs!
These guys are all good mechanivs and got it done in a timely manner the manager Dave is an awesome guy wesley too!!!
They provided a free inspection and informed me that I didn’t need to replace the front brakes. Then they said they could do the back the same day, which they did at a great price and even provided a two year warranty on their work. I appreciated their honesty and I will go their again.
I love their energy and how comfortable they made me feel over the phone and while getting serviced. They definitely appreciate their customers.
Dave and mechanic was nice.But honestly we shouldnt have to go back 3 times to make sure the brake job is done correctly. Very inconvenient And pay an additional $80 in lyft rides after paying almost $800 on different services.And spent 20min wiping and cleaning oil and oil spot on cloth interior. No buenoA little more care and attention to detail is needed.
Oil change is a good price and they will tell you if anything needs maintenance on your vehicle. Always experienced good service here and handled in a timely matter.
Amazing! I couldn’t recommend this meineke more, and Wesley is one of the most honest and professional mechanics who has worked on my car.
Awesome shop!! As a walk in, I got there at 8:30 was gone by 9:15 and there were two customers in front of me! Amazing service at a reasonable rate!
This is a very professional business. Very helpful and they show concern
Really quick service and they didn’t try to upsell anything! Will be going back to these guys for sure!
Great service on my BMW oil change @ fair price..
Always speedy friendly service, I don’t take my cars anywhere else for the oil change
Dave is reliable and kind.I appreciate their hard work.
They advised me what was wrong with my car and presented me with all the options that I could go with. Very knowledgeable and explained everything that was to be done with my car. Recommend if you need any repairs to your car.
Had to dock 2 stars for:1. Cleanliness of their waiting room- Not sure when was the last time it was cleaned, because dust was everywhere! Including the coffee cart and all of its components. There was also a bunch of green algae/mold in the water chamber of the Keurig coffee maker.2. I got back my car with a bunch of black scuff marks all over the interior! Using floor mats and cleaning hands couldve easily avoided that.
The guy what excellent. And the price was responsible.
I’ve been going to Meineke for years.Always pleased with the service. Dave is a great Manager and Wesley is the best mechanic and asst manager. They always take care of me and they know their stuff
I arrived an hour after they opened on a Saturday morning to have an oil change. I mentioned to Dave that my car had a leak of some sort. Within moments he informed me that they needed to replace a gasket and that my air filter was very dirty (it’s 6 years old). I was out of there within 30 minutes at a very reasonable price. The facility is clean, safe and the guys are terrific. I highly recommend this Meineke location in Torrance on Hawthorne Blvd.
Love this place and staff always professional, polite and family like.
Wesley is one of the best Machanics I have ever been to professional and very thural, they are very friendly and I know my car is getting the best care here. Thank you Wesley for excellent service.
They efficiently installed a cold air intake on my car in less than an hour and I am pleased with their work.
I had my brakes done here this week. Dave (at the front desk) was very helpful! Great service and great price. Would highly recommend!
Team worked hard to get things done on time
I took my vehicle in for an Uber inspection. My vehicle had just been serviced at the dealership, so I knew that it would pass the inspection and it did pass. I was treated in a friendly, professional and respectful manner, and they did not take all day to do the simple inspection.
They always do a great job and the service people are always so warm and friendly.
Very honest and reliable mechanics!! Dave is a godsend. He is always very helpful and knowledgeable about cars. I live in Norwalk, but, if I have any issues with my car I come all the way here to have them look at it. Thank you Mr. Dave
Fast good expert service. Very pleased.
Well its the second time that Ive taken my car to Meineke and got good value service its hard to find a good mechanic shop. I would recommend Meineke to all my friends and family.... when you go there (ask for Dave) hell take care of you and your car. Tell him Carl with the 1991 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am sent you.... thanks again Meineke.
I like taking my car to them because of the positive energy, professionalism, friendly atmosphere, and knowing they care about me and my car!
I drove in yesterday on 4/21 and a mechanic I think his name is Gene,well he totally ignored me by walking away and grabbing his cell phone to fiddle with. All the while with his back to me. I found his behavior to be highly rude and unprofessional. I hope your business is proud of such rude workers and the money you could have earned having a new customer, plus referrals.
Tried a few mechanics since moving to SoCal, and landed here. David and his team are honest and professional with comparable prices. They always give me upfront diagnosis and never pressure me. Recommended.
First, I do not live in the area of the business. I do maintain a small health insurance office nearby. I found them through Carmax Repair pal site. I prefer working via referrals. The guys were great and Wesley was attentive as he listened to my concerns. I picked up my Lincoln MKZ headed straight for the freeway. Man...what a difference an alignment makes. Thank you
I made an appointment for 11am, didn’t get to my car til 12pm.
The overall customer service was great. They did the oil change and checked my brakes and did an all around service evaluation plus let me know what other things were wrong with my vechile.
This shop is awesome. Dave answered all my questions and gave me an estimate that was very reasonable. The process was silky smooth and my car was ready very quickly. Definitely my go to place for auto work.
My brake job was severely overdue. I was sure that all four rotors were toast, and potentially one caliper would need to be replaced (I even told them as much as a warning to make sure parts wouldntbe an issue. They ended up replacing much less than I was expecting, and the price was great! Just one note, however, when they call with a price, this amount is before taxes. Ill go back again!
Good price, guys were good
They are unprofessional and never check out car and it is very expensive and just standing over there charging customer. Except oil change and break this manager and mechanic doesn’t know anything.. last week I left my car to fix AC and they changed AC compressor they must to give me first of all my car key to check it out it does working or not and charge me and also charge me too much money and after I left and turn on Ac I saw it’s same thing with hot wave. .. it’s very interesting when I asked by phone before to go pick up car shop manager rod me it is working very good.. he didn’t check anything except charge me lot of money for labor and parts .. Shawn on him and his mechanic and I didn’t work three days with this car and give me damage that must responsible for that...
I went into Meinke in Torrance and I was helped by Wesley . I needed to have my brakes inspected and they gave me a 12 point Brake inspection when my van was done Wesley told me that i needed front and rear Brakes . He also said my inspection was Free. He was Polite and super customer service friendly and he took care of all my questions. I returned 2 days later to get my new BRAKESand i waited for my vehicle and it was a Great Experience.. Thank you to Westley and the Staff at theTorrance Meinike . I have found my new Car Care Center.
Great customer service quick and very professional
Fantastic experience. Best of all time. Even got coffee
Fast, friendly, and professional.
Always love coming here. I travel for work and my car desperately needed an oil change. They were full but the manager had no problem squeezing me in.
Good, knowledgeable staff.
Great service very reliable and trustworthy. They always do a great job and give me options on what needs attention and when it will need to be addressed.
Over charged on labor and parts. $49 for Power steering Fluid. $300 for power steering pressure hose. Will not return
Dave was very nice and professional. He got me in and out very quickly. I will be. Regular customer from now on.
I used these guys for one of my vehicles from my fleet. During the repair I get a call from a concerned stranger saying that my vehicle was driving erratically through a neighborhood. I look at the company GPS on the vehicle and sure enough the truck was going through several neighborhoods doing 58 mph in a 25mph residential. I guess they forgot that my company name and number is plastered all over the vehicle. I called the manager with this concern and he shrugs it off. 12 hrs later my vehicle throws the same trouble code as when I brought it in. I will not be returning to this establishment.
Great neighborhood auto repair center.Honest and professional.
Best place in town for brakes and oil changes
Would not go back for any service.!!
Amazing service. Great prices considering the amount of work that was done. Will be back for future repairs!
They did a fantastic job! Said they were super busy and id have to wait 45 minutes but had me done in 20. Didnt try to upsell me either with other parts for the car I didnt need. I will be coming back and bringing friends and family as well. Thanks guys 👍
Inspections but the copy of receipt was not reallyvissible I can’t read it is not clear I having hard time to upload fun for ubber document
Deceptive advertising and price gouging for extra oil & oil filter that more than doubled the cost of advertised price. I will not be coming back here again .
Was there for an oil change, advertised one price, but they add additional bogus charges... Like standing on my lawn fees, ice cube fees, etc...😂🤣 you get the story.. Thiz is the second and last time I will be coming here.
The men that work there are so nice and helpful,you can tell they like what they do !!!!!!
My car was well take by professional
I love their service. Ive been bringing my cars here for years.
Always in and out in a timely manner. Got an oil change at a great price.
They sold us services parts we did not need. Rip off artists here .
They were able to take care of my car problem quickly. They gave me a time frame and they exceded my expectations in getting it done before then.
Always professional. Not pushy about additional services.
I came in for wipers today. Under 10 minutes Im out again. Thank you guys!!
Ive been to Meineke twice and both experiences were good. The manager and staff are courteous and helpful. You know what youre in for before the work starts. I dont get the feeling that Im being taken advantage of. A good experience all the way round.
Convenient location, good price for oil change if you can get in or make an appointment. They will try to sell you a ton of services though. But overall good service, pleasant guys and they do good work. Beats paying twice as much everywhere else...
They did great work in a timely manner.
Torrance Meineke = very good place of business!!
Very cheap, and the staff was very nice
Love dave and wesleys managers are so nice and helpful
Exhaust job was done correctly light is now off
Terrible service!! Do not want to visit anymore!!
Fast service and reasonable prices
Great service great deal. Will be returning for more repairs
Got an oil change, car was leaking oil afterwards (second time this happened) and had to tow the car back there so they could correct their errors. Would not recommend. Overpriced and unreliable.
Excellent and honest service. They do not RIP people off. They tell the truth about your car repairs.
Very good people and great service which is unusual to findThey fixed my car CV Joint and car door. Im very happy with the service
Friendly. Fast and fair prices
Not coming back. I came in with a broken headlight, and rather than replace the bulb and see if that worked quick, these guys chose to milk me for $80 and lose a customer. I understand this is a franchise: stay away from this one.
Dont go here if you care for your car.Oil was dripping because they didnt tighten drain plug and my drive belt was discovered to be sliced in middle after 2.5 hour quick oil change...Their 5 for price of 3 oil change is scam. If you use synthetic oil they will charge you extra each time. Also if you moved you cant use that deal at any other locations.
Assistant Manager Wesley Smithers was so kind. My brakes, door, rear light and power steering needed to be fixed. Gave me car to use for the day. Plus all that work didnt leave me broke. Worth 5 stars
Love the customer service here!
Went in without an appointment and it was still done pretty quick on a Saturday late morning.
They intentionally damaged my car in order to charge more for unnecessary repairs and lied about it after I got a second opinion which confirmed that was the case. After calling them to discuss this, the manager Dave cussed me out and hung up the phone. He was in denial and afraid hed been caught. I will bring this place to justice. Karma always finds its way.
Very efficient and efficient nice store was clean
Awesome service. Very please with their honesty
I dont understand the negative reviews. These guys always fit me in and work with my schedule. Whenever I come in, they always know who I am, ask about family, etc. They only do the services I ask and call me if theres something extra.Case in point, I had a broken visor mirror on the drivers side for MONTHS before I finally asked them to fix it. They told me where to order the part myself to save $50. I didnt have the time, and they gave me the discount anyway. Nice guys!They always go the extra mile - they have even allowed me to leave fliers for a local charity and always call me when my car is ready or if they find more problems (but let me know if that is something that can or cant wait).When something goes wrong with my car, Mike, Moe, and Dave at Meineke Torrance are the FIRST people I call.Thanks guys! You rock!
Great service and ok prices a bit slow at finishing work but they have a Lot of cars to work on. By having a Lot of work they must have many return customers that are happy with there work.
These guys were great, they did everything Groupon said they would do. And in great time.
