Service stations service near Long Island City, NY

HERE IS A TRUE HONEST REVIEW...IF YOU DON'T WANT A HEADACHE.....DO NOT GO HERE. FIRST, I NOTICED WHEN I WENT THERE IN THE PAST EVERYONE IS CHARGED THE SAME PRICE. I HEARD TWO CUSTOMERS IN FRONT OF ME CHARGED $375.00 FOR A MUFFLER AND PIPE. HOW COULD THREE DIFFERENT CARS BE THE SAME PRICE. HERE IS WHAT GOT ME....THE OWNER ASKED ME TO PAY CASH FOR THE $375.00 PRICE OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE HIGHER AND TAX ON TOP OF THAT. I WAS STILL OFFERED THE LIFETIME WARRANTY EVEN IF PAID CASH. ANYWAY, THE MUFFLER INSTALLED FROM DAY ONE HAD INTERNAL VIBRATION. I WENT BACK SEVERAL TIMES...HE TOLD ME IT WAS THE MOTOR MOUNTS....THEN HE SAID IT WAS THE RIM.....THEN HE JUST SAID THE CAR WAS OLD. (WHAT GREAT ANSWERS) I WENT THERE OVER THREE TIMES AND THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. i WENT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS THE MUFFLER. I WENT BACK TO MEINEKE AND HE SAID WHERE IS THE RECEIPT, AND I TOLD HIM YOU KNOW YOU ASKED ME TO PAY CASH. ANYWAY, HE OFFERED TO FIX FOR $250.00....REALLY IS THAT FAIR, BEWARE ALL

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE IF YOU WISH TO SAVE YOUR MONEY, THEY ARE THE RUDEST BEINGS I EVER DEALT WITH, OVERCHARGED ME ON A SIMPLE JOB, ESTIMATE WENT FROM 100 TO OVER 40O$, I ONLY WENT THERE BECAUSE MY REGULAR MECHANIC IN PASSAIC WAS FAR AWAY BUT WOULD HAVE COST ME MUCH LESS TO TOW CAR IF I BROKE DOWN AND STILL SAVE A COUPLE OF HUNDRED BUCKS, SIMPLE STARTER PROBLEM ON A MINIVAN ETC ETC.... ALSO TOLD ME THEY HAVE TO CHARGE ADDITIONAL MONEY BECAUSE I DID NOT TELL THEM I WAS PAYING BY CREDIT, WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS, MOST CONSUMERS PAY BY CREDIT, THIS IS NORMAL US BUSINESS.... BUT THEY DONT KNOW THAT, THEY WANT TO AVOID SHOWING INCOME I GUESS, PAYING TAX IS SOMETHING PLACES LIKE THESE AVOID BUT THEY DO KNOW HOW TO RIP YOU OFF ( STEAL FROM YOU) ANYWAYS, BEWARE.....

I have been a customer for 19 years and always enjoyed great service for my brakes and mufflers. Always repaired on the first visit. Employees are very helpful and friendly and professional. Recently I bought a Acura Mdx and from day one it had a pull. I took to dealer many times, and didn't realize they sub the job out to Mavis next door to them. Once I realized I ran right to my old faithful. Rices automotive. The car was perfect after that...thank God for them.
