    I paid $105 for a “diagnostic” because my car wouldn’t start 75% of the time.

    The $105 was supposed to go toward a solution.

    Meineke was unable to diagnose a $12 mass airflow sensor that needed cleaned. Had they ran the code on the check engine light they would have had a solution in 5 mins but instead they scammed me of my money and offered no solution.

    When I had my dad call because what they did was horrible the manager claimed my 2019 Chevy Cruze with no other issues was a piece of crap and they don’t fix pieces of crap….. how incredibly unprofessional of a corporate company and a terrible representation of a brand. He literally was screaming and speaking so disrespectfully. When we asked him to at least speak with respect “he said oh you want to go there” which is a very thinly veiled threat.

    Short version. My truck was leaking coolant. Took a week to repair. They pulled the intake manifold and reinstalled it with new gaskets I paid them in full early Drove it one mile and the check engine light came on. Drove back. Test showed a vacuum leak. They said bring it back couple days. When I brought it back the found a leak in the intake manifold they just installed. They refused to fix it or work on my truck
