Auto repair service near Drain, OR

An employee at Cottage Grove Les Schwab condescended me. Consequences vary. Unforgiven.

Will performed an amazing job on one of our service vans that has had a history of common repair issues with this particular service van. He gave us replacement options based on the longevity of the warranty on the replacement parts. In addition, Will was very efficient in fixing the vehicle in a timely manor so my guys could be back in the van for service calls by the next day. What I like most about Will is his depth of mechanical knowledge and experience. Will is truly a mechanic's mechanic.

I would not recommend this facility. I went there twice. The first time they rotated my tires and changed the oil. They said that there were a bunch of oil leaks and suggested a dye test. I figured no big deal, but the cost was ridiculous. When I returned, they found that the oil pan gasket was leaking. This should be a pretty obvious leak even without the dye test, and certainly not leaks all over the place. That done, I went back for another oil change and tire rotation. They couldn't rotate the tires because a lug nut was cross-threaded. I told the "mechanic" that they were the ones who rotated the tires last. Then he said it must just be fatigue of the stud. Total B.S. When I called to get it fixed, they sent me to the same mechanic and obviously I got nowhere. Never using Meineke again!

They were nice, but Dis-Honest & Not Trustworthy! OMG! Look under the hood of the cars there selling. Most of there cars engines are oxidized from salt. If the engine looks as bad as it does on several of there cars, just imagine what the inside of the engine is like and especially under the car! Salt rots the whole underneath of a car and ruins the engine. They said they buy vehicles at county auctions. For instance a 1998 Chevy S10 they have for $3,995. The truck is VERY BASIC. 165,000 miles, no tilt, ripped up rubber that encases the gear shift, blew Air Conditioner on max & blew hot air, ripped up, brittle truck bed, no power anything. KBB says it's worth 2,400 if the A/C was working. They did a KBB on truck for 4,995. I had to laugh. That is Dishonest when you tweak Kelly Blue Book to your advantage. Look at the county auctions at: http://apps.lanecounty.org/fleetauction/Auction.aspx?a=9&c=1 A 1998 Dodge Neon with 36,800 total miles sold for 2,100. I don't like to be lied to. On top of it all, Brian says that it did not matter if he sold a car to me or not. That statement right there makes me feel that they do not care for there customers. You don't tell a customer that it doesn't matter if you buy from the company! We'll 2 hours after we left the dealer we bought a beautiful car, year 2000 with 102,000 miles on it for $2,650. KBB booked the car at $4,600. Do yourself a favor and stay away from all there nonsense. You will get a better car, with better mileage, and a better price! ALSO the engine does not look like it was soaked in salt water like most of there cars in there lot. I doubt this business will survive the year with there deceitful practices.

Put in to replace the leaking radiator, they gouged me $275.00 for the part which was $100.00 anywhere else and claimed they used an OEM part on a 12 yr old truck.($400.00 overall after they tried to charge me $900.00) REALLY??? Just over two years later it was leaking and needed to be replaced again. Initially they didn't want to (past warranty)but they gave one to the Wayne's garage (who charged me $1600.00 for changing the spark plugs-they broke one and that became MY fault & cost for a questionable top end job)but Wayne's got them to give up a cheap part. 2 yrs later it's leaking AGAIN. Can't find a decent mechanic in this town who isn't out to screw you over. HELP!
