Friendly, professional auto service center. Did not try and push extra services but provided thorough information for decision making. Highly recommend.
We been going to this auto repair shop over four years and Im telling you this is the ultimate place to go for any car problems etc.All the guys are respectful, reliable, consistent on the services they provide to their customers.
Another Great job fixing my truck. Wouldn’t bring my cars any other place 👍
I want to thank everyone for making my first car repair experience in Smithtown very favorable. This team was able to schedule me in and have my car in and out quickly. Thank you for all your help. I will definitely come back!!!
Good service. Friendly, caring, knowledgeable and this is why I have all my auto services performed at Meineke in Smithtown New York.
I set up my appointment online last week for 10:30 and indicated I would need to wait for my vehicle. When I arrived for my appointment I was asked if I was leaving the vehicle so I guess either the online appointment program doesn’t tell the service center that information because when I told him I needed to wait the guy seemed not too happy about it. I wish there was some kind of way the online appt would indicate how much my service would be prior to arrival of the shop.
They took the time out to explain what I needed done and they are honest about what services actually need to be done
Flex pipe for exhaust rotted away. Exhaust was dragging on road. Luckily made it to this meineke on vets highway. Even though it was busy they were able to get me in and replace the flex pipe . I was on my way again in an hour. Great service!
Tire had a nail and wanted to get a patch and took care of it and had it done with 25 min. Went to two other stores first and told it would be a 2-3 hour wait till they could even look at it..
Everyone was so kind and helpful! Thank you for fixing my car. I was super stressed out about it. I also went for a walk in and was able to leave my car to get fixed and it was finished only a couple hours later.
I had a previous vehicle I brought into Meineke and the workers were very attentive and worked well on it in a safe and timely manner. Recently got another vehicle and the same great and courteous service I received from this shop. Even a short wait while my vehicle was being repaired. Had a serious problem with the alignment with this vehicle dropped it off while the workers checked the car over and received a call that the vehicle was not safe to operate which was appreciated to me. They gave me a decent price amount for the repair and was completed as estimated. I will be returning if any problems and been referring other people I know to go to this particular Meineke shop if they want safe and courteous service. Thanks again 😊
Very professional, prompt, courteous and get the necessary work done without trying to sell more. I would recommend to anyone. A pleasure to deal with them rather than the insanity that goes on at most dealership service departments.
They worked really hard and fast to fiX my exhaust leak and a very fair price. Very people friendly business.
I usually wait a few days before I do a review. I went to this Meineke 3/7/2020. They did a good job. The price was ok but they did good work and my truck drives like new👍🏿. I really dont stress the price as long as you get the job done. Ill be back soon to get my breaks done. I give this location 5 stars🙌🏿.
I made the appointment online for the following morning and was thrilled to have my car maintenance completed quickly and professionally. I would definitely recommend this business.
I had a power/steering and engine overheating malfunction while driving on the LIE. I didnt know the area and just did a google search. luckily for me i found this company. they assured me they would diagnose and let me know. they were thorough and more than honest. its nice to know that when your in an emergency situation there are still good honest companies like these to work with
Eddy & Dean are outstanding, knowledgeable & experienced mechanics with both new & classic cars foreign & domestic. They’ll diagnose ANY problem and fix it in a timely manner,(usually same day) and at a fair price. Been using them for more than seven years and never a problem. Don’t drive by; give them a try!
Always a very reliable & professional. Trust them 100%.
GREAT SERVICE....DEFINITELY BRINGING MY CAR ANYTIME I HAVE A PROBLEM
I made an appointment for an oil change through their website and clicked the “wait for my car” option. Upon arrival it was told to me and my 3 year old that we would have to wait outside for my car in 30° weather due to them not having a waiting room when I was clearly standing in one....When I asked why did they have a “wait for car” option he didn’t have an answer for me. Completely unprofessional, was rude, and as a single mother it’s difficult to get everything done as is. This was just a waste of time and I didn’t appreciate the rudeness.
DO NOT BRING YOUR VEHICLE HERE.I brought my car here because my front right blinker wasnt working. It took no joke 4 weeks to get my car back. Trying to tell me my entire electrical system was shot. The only thing that did not work was the right blinker! I get the car back making noises Ive never heard before, check engine light is turned on, air flow is not connected. Tried to charge me almost $600.00. These people are crooks, if I could give 0 stars I would.
On Saturday 05/01/21 stopped by to replace rattling catalytic converter on S10 Blazer. Front desk guy was rude. Had no knowledge of vehicles and was trying to tell me that i have two catalytic converters in my vehicle. He quoted me $1025 parts and labor. I went down the street and got magnaflow converter with labor for $400 at Bobs.
Amazing experience. The shop was extremely busy when I arrived around 9 AM yet they promised to have my car ready by 3pm the same day despite not even having an appointment. Everyone working there pays close attention to detail and will leave you satisfied every time. Highly recommend.
Cant speak any more highly of this place. I came in this morning at 7:00 AM for a much needed and VERY last minute oil change. Eddie squeezed me in at 8:00 AM and had me out by 8:30. I have been here for oil changes in the past and the service is always top notch. On top of this, despite my asking to have this done very last minute, the price for synthetic oil was incredible. Very affordable! Its nice to know that some people still know how to conduct their business in a community oriented manner and Eddie certainly understands that. This shop will definitely be getting all of my business going forth.
Eddie and the guys at Meineke were quick in their diagnosis and just as quick doing the work. They even went above and beyond to make me aware of potential future issues that may come up. Highly recommended.
Thèse guys are a joke and crooks . I brought my car which was a year old for inspection and he failed it for wiper blades . I told him why didn’t you just tell me to buy new one instead of failing my car, no response .
Smithtown Bypass shop at 347 specifically...Guy at front desk has no customer service skills at all and acted like he doesn’t need customers to go to their shop. He refused to use the coupon that I presented to him simply because he wants to and was very obnoxious when asked politely about services they offer as well as timing of service completion. Will never go again.
Been coming here for a few years now. Always a Pleasure to work with the guys at Smithtown Meineke. They make it so simple and affordable and are honest about what work may be needed to be done to your car in the future (if at all).
I would give this place 10 stars and beyond! AMAZING i don’t know the guy name but he was so polite and beyond helpful over the phone and in person! I came in for a oil change and it was quick and affordable. Will be returning for future car issues!!!
They did a great job. Dean was helpful and fast and called me when there was an issue but resolved it on his own no extra cost to me. Highly recommended
Ive been bringing my car here for over 10 years. The guys are great and always fair! I have sent many people to their shop because I know they are the best!
I am new in the area. I came here for an oil change. I called and made a 12:00 appointment. I didnt have to wait and they were very courteous and professional. They gave me a discount because it was my first time there. I had a wonderful first time experience and will definitely be returning.
Amazing experience! Amazing prices! Amazing work! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Ran in first thing in the morning to get a diagnosis for my check engine light that had just come on and Eddie was able to diagnose and replace the broken part within an hour. Really good guys over there!
Got a flat tire and would have been stuck without the help from the manager at Meineke. They handled my issue in 30 minutes for $25. What great service!
I have used them a few times and it is definitely a mixed bag. Eddie is rude and disrespectful, at pick-up time tries to pad the bill and cut corners on items like warranty agreements. Dean is honest and pleasant and happy to answer your questions and work with you on an acceptable deal. The actual repairs were nothing spectacular - I had to return 4 times for a brake job that they never got right and I get the sense that the recent strut replacement they did used substandard parts as it still doesnt feel great.
These guys are great over here. Both Dean and Ed always go out of their ways to do the right thing, and to help guide you in the right direction. I have been going to them for over 10 years now, and they have serviced every car Ive owned in that time from mustangs to 300zs to jeeps to camerys.. they have serviced them all for me and always were very fair, and more importantly did great work.. I will definitely recommend them in the future.
Ed was very nice and quick service.
My exhaust hangers were rusted away causing exhaust to hang at rear. Took it to meineke , they gave me a price of $400.00The job was done less than an hour. I picked up car, took the car to my mechanic for oil change and asked mechanic to check the exhaust. He showed me what they did.THEY PUT ONE SMALL BRAKET IN MIDDLE WITH AN INCH WELD and the tail pipe WELD OVER THE RUSTED BRACKET and a 6 inch flex pipe which is enough to hold muffler for the time being and BOOM $400.00 dollar charge.
This place is great. The workers know what they are doing! They are very reliable! Go here!
My engine light came on, I called Meineke in Nesconset and they took the car in immediately. I picked it up a couple hours later, repair done for a reasonable price.
Smithtown Meineke took me right in and repaired my exhaust system. They only replaced the parts that needed it, saving me money. They also corrected a problem with my brakes that another garage couldn’t handle. My car sounds 100% better.
I brought my car in recently to get new brakes. The parts were almost double the price of most online company parts. Eddie the service rep wasnt very pleasant and helpful either. When I told him I had a coupon for an oil change, He pretty much told me it was too late and that they changed the oil already and that the coupon was only for regular oil and not synthetic oil. Had I known that I would have asked for regular oil. When I asked if they gave discounts for nypd or fdny or any law enforcement they said no and there was no discretion or even a nice gesture as to allowing me to use the coupon. Will not be taking my car back there again for service. You won this time Meineke of Smithtown. I lost.
Service was excellent and the guys knew what they were doing would absolutely take my truck back there.
My family has taken our cars here for years. The staff is knowledgeable, fair, and courteous. I have a modern car and an antique car and I wouldnt trust them with anyone else. I drive out from Nassau to have them serviced here.
They did okay work got it done well and on time; but seems like they charge nearly double for parts 180$ part was 400$ with them. I understand you gotta mark up the price but to mark it up 50% is unreal. I surely wont ever be going back to them for anything. Not recommended unless you have no other choice
I purchased a truck from a used car dealership that turned out to have an exhaust leak. They sent me here to have it fixed and they did a great job. The cut out the pipes that were problematic and replaced it with fresh steal, they leveled my exhaust tips, and were honest about the resonator being beyond repair and instead of being shady like some other places would because it was a Borla setup and resonator. They had no problem giving it back to me. And the welds they did seem to have sealed perfectly. No taps, putt putt noises. My Hemi sounds great again! Very pleased
Cheap oil change but one mechanic who I dealt with was in a bad mood... and they didnt tell me anything about my car afterwards... which is odd because you would think they would be looking to perform another service
This is one of the shadiest shops around. DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE TOLD THINGS THAT DONT NEED TO GET DONE! Yesterday they told me that my car would be fine for inspection if I did the rear brakes costing $400 and I need to get an inspection done or my car will fail with the new bullshit laws NYS put in place so come back. They didnt know that I do all the work on my car. Today I come back with my brakes done and magically they cant inspect my car for fines that dont come into play until tomorrow. So it was ok yesterday when you were going to sell me rear brakes that I didnt really need? Right.... What a piece of garbage that little guy was! Avoid this place. They are only willing to do something if they can screw you over. Go to anyone else but here.
The guys there are always helpful, fair, and honest.
Dean was very professional, polite, and understanding. He did great job!
Eddie and Dean are always a big help.Would highly recommend them for all your auto repairs.
Had a bad experience with Meineke. Proper diagnostics has not been performed by Meineke, an irrelevant part was replaced rather than the one which we had an issue with.
Had a flat and no jack on a Friday just before they closed and they got it done for me in 15 min. Thank you!
Recently moved to the area so did some research on shops that were close, this shops reviews were very good, brought my jeep in for brakes they checked it out told me front brakes were fine needed rear rotors and pads , price they gave me was better than I expected , good shop and very honest, I will return as I am now a new customer..
The guys here are very friendly, they work quick and efficiently. I’m glad I brought my car here to upgrade the exhaust system.
Rotation of tires on Tesla model 3. And NYS inspection. Quality work and quick.
I like that I can trust them. Very honest, when I drop my truck off, I don’t have to worry about it. Always done on time.
Very professional and Nice polite workers. I would definitely recommend them from the one in Smithtown, NY..
I have used this Meineke location three times thus far and have experienced exceptional service each time .
Been going here for years. Always do a great job in timely fashion. Fair and honest, Dean and Eddie are the best.
Very professional. Eddie explained all that was wrong with my vehicle and what I needed done. Highly recommend.
Professional and courteous. I got a flat and they were the closest auto place nearby. They fixed it in 15 minutes and I was back on the road right away. Extremely grateful.
Beware, if you have high end rims with expensive paint, dont let these guys install the tires, they will F up your rims.
Great quality of work have been using them for15 yrs would not even think of going elsewhere Jan Ryan. Smithtown

2022-04-05Eddie and Dean are the best! They really take good care of you and your vehicles. I took my 2021 Honda CR-V there for an oil change and a few minor maintenance things because my SUV is a year old and has 14,000 miles on it. They are extremely meticulous with their car care, and unlike the Honda dealership, they don’t try to sell it you things the car doesn’t need. A few months ago, I took my SUV to Honda for an alignment and they were trying to tell me it needed a transmission flush and a rear differential (part of the 4x4 system) flush and the car at the time had 12,000 miles on it - certainly didn’t need any of that and Dean and Eddie told me that I would eventually need that maybe around the 30,000 or 50,000 mile mark (forgot), but rather than selling me on unnecessary fluid changes, I just got done what had to be done. The NYS Inspection (got the car in April 2021, inspection was up in April this year), oil change, a tire rotation, and a filter that’s in the engine. I’m confident with their care, my Honda will easily go 200,000 trouble-free miles.

2022-05-19This place has saved me so many times when Ive had an unexpected breakdown or needed work done. Fair prices, friendly staff, quick turnaround, and work that lasts. When they fix something its fixed and stays fixed.
Review №3
2022-06-09I made my appointment and got there before the time, i could have gone to the nearest jiffy lube or Sts or mavis and yet when i got there your staff told me sorry he has 3 cars waiting before me and that would be waiting an hour plus. Thats not good service after i made my appointment.

2021-12-24Ive had work done on a number of vehicles here over the years and Ive always had a great experience. Most recently I stopped in for an inspection on my dads minivan. Knowing there was nothing really in it for them as it had already passed a safety inspection, they were still happy to take care of it and turned it around very quickly. I highly recommend this business.
Review №5
2022-02-01My cars engine was overheating and losing almost all acceleration so I took it here to get looked at. They charged me 600 dollars without telling me that the problem wasnt fixed at all. I didnt realize until I left the office and tried to leave. I dont know how they could have claimed that the problem was solved unless they didnt test drive it at all. What a joke.

2019-11-16Dean and his whole Team where great. Extremely professional and courteous. They installed a brand new custom exhaust system for my 2019 Ford F150 Raptor. The installation was flawless and highly recommend their craftsmanship.
