Very pleased with the professionalism and services performed. My son praised the work of John and how great he treated his vehicle and him so brought my own. I highly recommend this shop for honest and truthful services. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

I asked among my friends and co-workers for recommendations for a mechanic to look at my vehicle. No one had a suggestion. After seeing MANY great reviews for this service center, I decided to give them a try. Their reviews are well deserved. They are courteous and professional. In my opinion, John went the extra mile to work with my extended warranty company to get my repairs covered. If you are looking for a shop to bring your car into... I cannot recommend them enough. Thanks for a great job, gentlemen.

The staff was amazingly friendly and welcoming. The facility was clean and comfortable. The manager even took my car out for a quick test drive to check my cruise control that I thought wasn’t working. At checkout, the salesperson gave me a $20 coupon I didn’t even know existed. LOVE the place and will definitely be back!

The management and staff are polite and professional. Ive never had the feeling that they were trying to sell me some service I didnt need. To me they are the best shop in Waterbury. I trust them with all my automotive service needs.

Fast, no-nonsense repair experience. Quick appointments and a lead mechanic who is knowledgeable and helpful. It feels more like a reliable independent shop from years gone than a nationwide chain location.

Called ahead for appt and was in the next day, which was NOT the case for other places that do alignments. Needless to say they took me for the next day, the wait for my car to get into the garage was a little lengthy but I am appreciative of the time they took and how thorough the alignment technician was with my car. I had gotten into an accident so I was extremely off so I replaced everything an went for the alignment. The guy also warned me that I would need new bearings on the front hub I didnt change and I know he was right because I heard how bad the bearings hummed. He also made me aware of spider cracks in my tire that could eventually lead to a popped tire out of nowhere. So I am grateful, I am appreciative, and I recommend πŸ‘ŒπŸ™‚

Besides the not being ready when they said it would be the service I received and the ability to use easy pay to make a major repair to my vehicle πŸš— makes me want to recommend them the only reason I gave a four star ⭐️ review is because I was told Saturday or Monday it be ready and it wasn’t until Wednesday besides that I would go back and recommendπŸ‘

Im not a mechanic guy, but they did told me the brake systems was seized when it was not. I was about to show him, but the whole conversation change after that. It just the metal expanded from the heat. Thats all. They did fixed my brake systems, though. The quality was great after looking underneath my truck. Beside that, the Information was not great.

Excellent service at the Meineke shop in Waterbury CT. This was my first time there and wont be my last! From the friendly and knowledgeable receptionist to the service people...everyone was super. I needed my headlight bulb replaced on my Mini Cooper, which I was given a ridiculous price at another business...so decided to go to Meineke across the street. Their price was considerably lower as it was a simpler procedure then what I was told from their competitor. I am extremely happy with the results! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

This happened a couple of years ago. Business still has the same name. i was recently asked to review and this was my experience with them. I will not do business with them again.Had a wheel alignment that was nerver done right 3x it was done. had to get my money back and have it done elsewhere. Also purchase a flowmaster muffler or so i though and i was installed something else because my truck did not sound the same. Emedietly i whent back inside and told the guy in the front desk and he told me i had to wait a couple of days so it could star sounding the same. another mechanic told me it was not true i did not return and will not return.

I have a high level of confidence in the staff at Meineke. They honor their appointment times. You never wait too long. They inform you as theyre working on your car if they find something that needs your attention so you can know what, if any, the problem is, how much farther you can go before it would give out on you and actually need that actual repair. They never oversell you. Theyre not pushy, they just do the correct thing and advise you. The guys there are all great and I compliment them all on their level of professionalism.

Review β„–61

Meineke was very nice my car broke down in the driveway when I called them the next morning they were real flexible let my car stay there and then when they gave me what was wrong with it which was the heating core and I wasnt sure if I could come up with the money they also let my car stay there with no fee for another day so my car was there for two days and they did not charge me a fee for keeping it their but some things i didnt like about the service was they told me they would call me when my car was ready that day come 5pm i hadnt heard from them so i called and was then told it was a 10 hr job and wouldnt be ready until tomorrow then upon getting my car back my cent was broken and didnt work anymore the knob for one of my heating setting not only doesnt work but was broken off my rosary beads that were hanging from my mirror was broken in half and a piece of my dash board was broken too...I was thankful for the discount but if them giving me the discount meant they could treat my belongings anyway they chose then it wasnt worth it...

DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE ! Horrible mechanicsSo i am a Machanic ! I test places like this too see how they do and what their work is like ! I sent a couple people here and every time they go, the store manager calls and says they need more work done . The cars that i sent here did not need anything done but yet they always said they needed something else ! One went for a oil change mind you i did the oil before going here, and they called and said they needed a bunch of work done and gave my car back with the same oil filter !! Do not bring your car here

Very honest. Gives estimates and calls if any more work is needed also gives estimates and gets an authorization before doing any more work. They were very reasonable with their prices.

Review β„–83

This was my first visit to Meineke. I called at @2:30 pm on June 25, got an estimated quote for a new alternator, they said to bring it right in so I got there a little after 3:30 pm and it took them no time at all to diagnose and confirm that it was the alternator. They were kind enough to give me a ride home (extremely pleasant!!). My car was ready that evening, but because of a minor error in my phone number, they couldnt reach me until the next morning. I took an Uber to get there, paid (the estimated quote was on the low side; actual price was more but they told me that in advance and it was still fair), got in my car to go, and backed into one of the employees car (messed up my trunk but his car was fine; talk about embarrassing!). Beyond that, everything else was perfect! I would definitely go back to them again, and highly recommend! Thanks, Meineke!!!!_*UPDATE*_: Exactly one year after I received my first alternator (referenced above), on 6/25/20 my car died, AGAIN. Whats wrong with it? Alternator, AGAIN. So my car is now being fixed elsewhere, for another $600+, AGAIN. Shame on you, Meineke: you ripped me off, TWICE, last time January 2020, you fixed my tire, and my $275 sunglasses disappeared from my vehicle. Hopefully people will see this and think twice before trusting you like I did.

Amazing customer service. I will always come here to fix my car. Never been to a place so welcome. They work with you and are very trustworthy. You cant say this about almost all mechanic places. Everyone from the general manager to customer service desk to the mechanics, are welcoming and very knowledgeable.. They dont force or pressure you to buy anything which is such a refreshing feel and they make u feel like your part of there family. If you go anywhere else your stupid. This is definitely THE place to have your car serviced. My whole family and friends now come here. Thank you so much for all your help and keeping me safe on the road.
