Mufflers repair service near Richmond, VA

Poor installation caused wheelbearing to go bad within 6 months. Took 5 days to finish the job. Broke ABS sensor, tried to fix it by keeping the vehicle for 4 more days. Still not fixed as I am now driving with ABS lights on. Now the wheelbearing failing again!! I have driven the vehicle roughly around 3000-4000 miles mostly highway mileage. I am being told parts could malfunction, does this mean they put low quality parts and charge me an arm and leg for it.

BUYERS BEWARE... As a former employee I noticed that the price mark up is ripping both areas off. For example they pay $18.99 for brake pads and you get charged $79.99 minimum, they pay $25.00 for brake rotors and you get charged $119.00 on the average. I've witnessed alot of wrong doing while working as a so called manager for this company. I feel for customers such as Ms. Shaw who came in to have her door fixed on her mini van and was charged $119.00 for diagnostics and was given a quote for $1800.00 only to get the problem fixed somewhere else for $6.00...but to make it worse the owner promised to refund her the diagnostic charge and then jerked her out of it. Instructing everyone to blow her off if she called. I can honestly say that I have NEVER experienced such robbery in all of the years I've been in the automotive industry. GOOD LUCK TO YOU IF YOU GO THERE!!! SIGNED A former employee.

This dirtbag Mike Morris ripped me off by selling me a car with several thousand dollars worth of repairs needed to get it roadworthy. He told me when he sold it to me he had "Fixed it up." He's apretty good liar and it's obvious he does it a lot. He misrepresented the car sale to me and within two weeks it was undrivable. I had to junk it. If you don't want someone stealing your money then I suggest leaving these jerks alone, they will rip you off and not blink an eye.

We brought our 2001 Acura to this shop back in September. We were on our way to DC from Raleigh, NC when our car started to run a little rough. We took it here because it was right off the highway and wanted someone to look at the car before we went on our way. We had to leave the car there because we had an appointment in DC., and it wasn't fixed. We received a call that evening saying that we needed a tune up, 2 ignition coil packs, and a recommendation to do each coil pack for approximately $900. We decided to only have the 2 that were broken repaired for a total of $524.89. The next day, they called and said the car was running beautifully. We made it back to Raleigh, where 3 days later, the car stopped running. We took it to an actual Acura mechanic, where we found out that the spark plug port on the head of the engine was stripped by the meineke mechanic. Now, we needed a new head to the engine. We called Meineke. They said to fax estimates. We did. We waited and waited and waited some more. We heard nothing. We left 7 voicemails with the owner of the shop and heard nothing. We filed a complaint with the better business bureau and Meineke Corporate. This is where the story gets interesting. Meineke management weaved a web of complete and utter lies to the better business bureau and Meineke Management all while still refusing to contact us. This shop is owned by rude and disrespectful people who will only rip you off. Needless to say, VISA sided with us and the money we paid to Meineke was placed back in our account. Do NOT take your car to the Meinke on Parham Road in Richmond, VA.

They overcharge people. I took in my car for inspection and they found so many issues … needless to say NOT necessary for inspection … I ended up paying $845! I will never return!

I started going to 301 Auto within the last year and I like them. Good service, fair pricing and quick turnaround. In one instance I had them check a suspension item on my Infiniti that another shop said needs repair. Would have been an easy thing gif them to agree with the other place and do the $300 + fix. They looked at it, explained what they saw and why it wasn't needed. So I believe they are honest and not just out to make a buck wherever they can. Frank J. Mechanicsville, VA

I was very happy with the experience.

I want to take the time to say thank you for the outstanding customer service and prompt service with installing my starter. Travis and Mitch took the time to go over the installation process and also found the best price on my starter. I highly recommend C&G mobile automotive repair. Thank you for putting me back on the road! Melanee Dowdye

So, this review is going to be a long one because it is a long story. I want people to know though. I took my car to get a State Inspection and an oil change. I had never been there before, but I though I would try it. Well, after waiting a normal amount of time I am told that my car needs two things to pass inspection. A transmission mount and a license plate bulb. I was told the transmission mount was broken, but that they did not have one. So, he said that he would call their warehouses to find one. He was unable to find one and said it would have to be ordered, so I told him I would try to find one myself and call him back if I couldn't. Well, I couldn't find it either except by ordering, so I just called him and told him to order it. This all happened on a Saturday. He promised me that they would have the part by Monday, so I said I would be there Wednesday morning to have the repair done. So, I drive up there Wednesday and walk in to get it repaired. I am then told that they have not received the part yet and that I will receive a call when they do. So, as I'm getting ready to leave I run into the man who I talked with Saturday. He then checks and tells me that what happened was they ordered the part, but the warehouse didn't do their job and order it. He says they might have it tomorrow. So, Saturday (a week later) I call them again and am told that they still don't have it. This time they tell me the warehouse dropped the ball and didn't inform them that the part wasn't available in the aftermarket world and that it would have to be ordered from the dealer. He then promises me that it is verified they will have it Tuesday and to bring in my car Wednesday ( a week and a half later from the first visit). So, I go in Wednesday (today) and they go ahead and pull it in and put it on a lift. I am then told that they received the wrong part. My car is a manual transmission, but they had received a mount for an automatic transmission. He tells me though that he ordered a backup with the dealership just in case this happened, but he won't have it until this afternoon. So, I have left my car their with them and await a phone call saying it is ready to go. I will update on what happens. So, as far as I'm concerned this is beyond unacceptable. Today is strike three. I'm extremely patient and had just wrote this off as an odd one time incident, but not now. This place seems incompetent and unable to simply obtain a part. The only reason I'm still having them do it is to get done today. If I get it done somewhere else they'll have to order it as well and there is no telling how that will go. Couldn't go worse than this though. So, if they don't get it fixed today, they can just forget and I'll go through the headache of taking it somewhere else. Either way, I'm never going back to Meineke. NEVER! I ALSO GIVE YOU A WARNING! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

Great service great work had my oil changed and a state inspection done. I wish more places were like this. They provided free coffee as I waited. I will definitely take my car back to them Joshua

My husband took our Mercedes in because the headlights were going out while driving at night. We took it in for repair. We were told that the diagnostics said the alternator needed to be replaced. After paying a bill for 495.00, the car was still doing the same thing the next day. We took our car back to get the problem corrected. In the mean time, my husband called a local Mercedes repair shop to inquire about the headlights and they told him that most likely a module needed to be replaced. (No mention of the alternator at all). Low and behold, when we called Buddy South back, Scott, the manager told me that they THOUGHT the problem was the alternator but now they THINK it is a switch and we needed to fork over another $520 dollars. When I asked why both problems did not show up when they did the diagnostics, he said they only checked for problems with the alternator. (But the diagnostics should have been to detect the problems no matter what was causing the problem).I asked Scott if they checked to make sure that the problem was fixed after they replaced the alternator and he said he could not duplicate the problem. However, they were able to duplicate the problem the second time around. All they had to do was let the car run with the headlights on for 10 minutes and "voila". I don't think they tried the first time around, because they ASSUMED the alternator was the problem. Basically, if you have a foreign car, don't let BUDDY SOUTH guess at your car problems....It will cost you dearly. I was forced to give them one star but I would never recommend this shop to any one.....unless I really wanted to see them spend unnecessary money. I wouldn't wish that on any one.
