I have had a very good experience with the Meineke on 49th and Spruce. I have only dealt with one mechanic, his name is Mike. He has always taken the time to explain exactly what is wrong with the car and has saved me quite a bit of money. They do same day service. I even got a ride to work today when I dropped my car off to get something fixed.
