Great people ..helpful beyond expectations. I'll be back definitely


Nov 13, 2024

Went in for an oil change. Everyone was very nice and friendly. Was recommended for me to change out two other filters, which I did. The guy that did my oil change even put my under car shield back on. No extra charge!!! Been here for the last few oil changes on my vehicle and it’s my favor location

Byron was not only welcoming and helpful, but a blast to chat with as well. Quickest oil change I've had done in a good while. I will be a return customer!

Amazing service from the front desk guy.

Chase was incredibly helpful in getting us approved for our Instacart discount and even rotated our tires free of charge with the oil change. The young technician working on our car was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job. Highly recommend their service.

Nice service

Recently got an oil change and tire rotation here. Great customer service from the guys here. They showed me my tires and suggested I needed an alignment as well. With their alignment machine down, they provided the name of a nearby shop that could help (I was traveling through Austin, so unfamiliar with the area). They also thought I might need new brakes, provided me a quote, but didn't pressure me to get the work done on the spot. I really appreciated the openness and honesty I got from this shop.


Oct 27, 2024

They were able to service our needs in a timely fashion. Will use them again.


Sep 27, 2024

Customer service was very friendly and helpful. They were also very knowledgeable and the pricing was fair. I would definitely go back here for any of my maintenance needs. They also performed checks that my local dealership neglected to do.


Sep 27, 2024

Great service, great experience every time I take a vehicle into Meineke south Austin !


Sep 27, 2024

Needed to get an oil change and they were able to take care of me as a walk-in customer. The technician that worked on my vehicle was friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional. I'd recommend Meineke for your preventative maintenance and car care needs.

They always do a great job. Been going there for the last three to five years Good people. Good mechanics loyal customer

I am incredibly frustrated with the experience we had here. My uncle brought in our 2014 Cadillac for an A/C problem, and they initially quoted him $480. But after the car was in their shop, they suddenly called back saying it would cost $1,300 because they had supposedly found the issue. They also claimed they needed to match what the Cadillac dealer charges. I advised my uncle not to proceed, and we could find someone else. Then, they called back again, lowering the price to $847, stating that only four hours of labor were being charged when it was actually 11 hours. They assured us that the problem would be resolved and even offered a one-year warranty. However, when my uncle picked up the car, the airbag light was on, and the A/C was still having the same issue. We called them back, and they said we’d have to bring the car in again and be charged for a new diagnosis. I don't understand how a business specializing in A/C repairs can fail to diagnose the problem correctly in the first place. This is beyond ridiculous. When I spoke to the manager, she was unprofessional and rude, dismissively saying, "I'm sorry that your head can't wrap around it..." How can they offer such terrible customer service? I would have much preferred honesty—if they couldn't fix the problem, they should have just told us instead of charging us without solving anything.

I usually dread going to mechanic shops for the fear of being ripped off.. not the case here! You can tell the guys working here are honest and the customer service was excellent. Thanks Diego!


Aug 27, 2024

The front desk professional Jamie offered excellent support and service. Thank you


Aug 27, 2024

They were very friendly and efficient. I’ll go there again

We’ve been taking our vehicles to Meineke for years and have always had an easy time with them, whether it is an oil change or major repairs.


Aug 27, 2024

Wow what amazing service! They were so kind, both front desk and technician. They got me in as a walk in. Such wonderful attitude! I love this place.

Jul 27, 2024

They were seriously amazing!! I can’t even explain how much they went out of their way for me! Jaimie and her team are such a great group and I will be a life time costumer!!


Jul 27, 2024

Have an 8:00am appointment and it’s now 7:51am and they are not here and doors are locked. Says they open at 7:30


Jun 27, 2024

All these reviews must be fake because that’s one sorry shop , these are not mechanics they are oil changers , if you take vehicle good luck to you , went in with engine light on technicians would not proceed unless I replaced the air filter and do a throttle body cleaning, I declined took my vehicle to covert Cadillac it was diagnosed correctly


Jun 27, 2024

Everyone here is so professional. The front desk and techs are very friendly.


Jun 27, 2024

Honest and fair and transparent with their service

I had a very regrettable experience at this Meineke. After years of receiving great customer service, a new owner has taken over and things have changed. The t technician who worked on my car in May broke a part and caused damages and did not disclose it. The damage was detected by the technician at the dealership and the people at Meineke accepted responsibility and assured me they would reimburse me. But when they realized there was an issue with the warranty they decided that they would only partially repay me. This utter disregard for my out of pocket expense is due to the new owner’s refusal to be out of pocket. It’s ok with him for me to pay for their mistakes. Please do not use this shop. If they damage your car they will not compensate you in total.


Jun 27, 2024

I was very happy that they we’re able to work with me when it came to getting breaks on my car, breaks can be very expensive but the staff was so helpful to help me with a reasonable price that I couldn’t turn down. The staff was great with my kids as well. Most definitely have to come back for more services.

So I'm very disappointed. From the very beginning I made an appointment with Isaac on the phone and I ended up bringing my car in. He told me that they were going to have to charge me a flat diagnostic fee of $109 due to it being an electrical issue. He also told me that if it was less than an hour that it would be half of that. I walked out to the ship where the mechanic ended up diagnosing what the issue was less than an hour. To be exact it was within 30 minutes. Know also that while I was talking to him and asking him questions he didn't seem to be very confident with his responses which made me a little on edge with trusting him working on my car further. I ended up looking for the part online that he told me about that I needed for my car and when I approached him he walked away and pretended like I wasn't trying to approach him. Then when I was able to catch him, I showed him the picture of the part and he told me he didn't know if that was the part. A mechanic that they claimed working 30 years on cars told me this. To be honest this guy looked like he was not in the best state of mind to work and looked like he just got out of rehab or something. I then just asked Jamie who is one of the managers to just send me a quote and pay the diagnostic fee. Before she did this I asked her if I was going to be charged half of the amount because he only was working on it for 30 minutes and she said yes. While she was about to charge me, Isaac said that I was responsible for the full $109 because he claimed the mechanic used the full hoir to diagnose my car. I corrected him and said that I checked the time and saw it was 36 mins and should be charged accordingly. So according to Isaac that is an hour...I stood there and disputed with him for a minute and he was very ruthless when it came to keepikg the full amount there. Until someone from the other side of the store told him to take off $25 and charge me pro-rated. Not only did Isaac lie and say that the mechanic was out there for more than an hour with it but I actually timed it and he was late on my appointment and ended up finishing early than an hour. They ended up charging me $82 which was a little bit more than what I was told. Just goes to show that these people play hustle games. Not sure why Isaac decided to switch up his attitude. I worked pretty well with him in the past and Jamie aswell. But unfortunately due to this mishap, I will not be coming back. I wish Dean (the previous mechanic) was there because he was very respectful and very knowledgeable but he left for health reasons.

The other morning I had my check engine light come on and something shortly after could feel something majorly wrong with my truck. Took it into Meineke where they did a very thorough inspection to determine the only issue was I needed a full tuneup and a cylinder wasn’t firing. Highly recommend this shop!


Jun 27, 2024

The staff here are super knowledgable and friendly. They offered me fast service, the best price and long-term advice for addressing my initial issues.


May 27, 2024

Amazing customer service. Highly recommend having your car serviced here.


May 27, 2024

Even with a manager/owner change I got A1 customer service, and a speedy repair. I will definitely be back in the future!


May 27, 2024

Good work.


May 27, 2024

Great work!


May 27, 2024

I had an emergency issue with my truck and I stopped in not knowing if they could solve my problem. The staff and manager were extremely helpful to get me in and out without interrupting my work schedule. I’ll definitely be doing more business with this shop! Great work and even better customer service.


May 27, 2024

Jamie was so helpful in gathering thorough notes about the a/c issue I was having and then explaining exactly what was going to happen to address my car’s a/c issue. My appointment was at 2pm and I fully expected to have to leave my car overnight in order for the work to be completed, but my car was ready shortly after 5pm that same day and my a/c is blowing cold again finally!


May 27, 2024

One of the best car centers because they are forthright and have integrity. They share far in advance which repairs are needed and don’t pressure you or exaggerate the state of the car.


May 27, 2024

Took my '92 Volvo in for a new muffler! Only lasted 32 years! They were so kind and informative! The new muffler is beautiful and quiet! My car is running better than ever! I highly recommend Meineke! They were friendly and efficient! Also, they aren't just muffler repair anymore!
