Can't explain the good reviews for this place. Took my 2005 Colorado here for brakes instead of my usual place the other side of town. They took on the job, but later explained as I was picking up the truck that they only did the front brakes, and not the back brakes (which needed work), and they recommended I take the rear brake job to the dealer because of the difficulty. I don't know why they think drum brakes are difficult, as a neighbor did them for free (plus parts) in my driveway for fun and a few free beers, and got it done in an hour. I heard the owner got the place from his rich parents, seems the 2nd generation has no work ethic. I highly recommend Forsyth fast lube on hwy 20, never had trouble or excuses from them. Plus they offer synthetic oil, which this place strangely does not. Stay away.

Good Shop for Common Repairs. The shop did a satifactory job of replacing shock absorbers and belts in one day. However, the shop misdiagnosed the reason why the air conditioner was not working. After taking the vehicle back to Meineke three times, I took it to the Chevy dealership. The solution, which Meineke missed, was to replace the AC liquid tube.

Editorial Review. More than just mufflers, services include brakes, steering, A/C and basic maintenance like oil change, tune-ups and tire rotation.

reliable honest auto repair. Simply THE BEST, MOST HONEST, RELIABLE, & extremely well managed AUTO REPAIR SHOP in NE GA!

In recently moving south to GA, I was very worried to not have a reliable repair service availabe, and didn't want to get 'taken'. We'd used Meineke in NY for over 20 years, & know it?s ?not just mufflers?, but every auto repair, thus I sought another Meineke in our new area.

However, I'm so even much more pleased with this one, thus I tell everyone I care about to try Meineke (on Freedom PArkway, SE off Exit 17 of GA 400, adjacent to Kroeger).

Trey, the owner, is very talented, he?s just totally amazing. When he 'estimates' a repair, the bill is to the penny when picked up, & he?s so reliable, it?s always ready as promised, dependably on time! With everything else that I have to worry about, there is no need to do so with Trey on the job for our vehicle maintenance & repairs. What a huge relief!

I trust Trey so much that I send my 'team of house helpers' to have their repairs at his shop - because I depend on them to get here safely to help in my home!

Trey also repaired a major issue in my hubby's auto, that the NY Meineke wasn't able to manage, and did so very reasonably! He also referred me to another venue for four new tires, where they?d be cheaper for me, to avoid his necessarily having to 'gouge' me for replacements on our other vehicle, an Element (they're a weird size), when he could just as easily done the opposite to make his profit.

Also, very importantly for me, when Trey & his crew repair something, it ?stays fixed? and no new ?gremlins? crop up later.

He truly goes the extra mile for his customers, who are glad to go extra miles for him ? even from as far as Gainesville & Dawsonville.

Trey is a breath of fresh air, in this age of dissapointing customer care. You won't have to worry about anything with very capable Trey & his crew at Meineke, 2585 Freedom Pkwy, C' ming GA 30041!
