Meineke Car Care Center Price gaugers galore Happy Valley Oregon

 These people are huge price gaugers. Beware. As a woman who can build motors they still tried to rape my wallet for nothing.

They hooked up a loosened vacuum hose for $90. Shame on them. Total bill was over $125 for a loose vacuum hose with oil change.  All they did was a code reading but they argue they did more, but all the while I was watching the car sit for over an hour with no diagnositic machine hooked to it.

They did an oil change which usually clears the "service engine soon" light. It needed to be cleared manually and they did not do it becaue they wanted it to appear that the Oil Change didn't work. They wanted to extend my visit with a "full diagnostics" that they try and get everyone to buy. That test is bogus. I never got a print out. I thought that's what I paid $90 for. What a sheister manager. He is disgusting and has zero people skills. He doesn't care what your car needs. Just pay triple for the service and parts. I felt bad for the guy who waited all afternoon in the frezzing cold waiting room for his new tire installation to the tune of $750. Now who does that? Sears or Tire store would have sold a better tire for way less.

BONUS COMMENT: I was quoted $394 to change out the CV joint boot with NO WARRANTY which takes 15-30 minutes to install. A great shop down the road is doing it for $80 install and $80 for the part. Do not take your car here. The new manager is a creep. He thinks women are too dumb to understand car mechanical issues even if you have done several rebuilds. Crass and rude comments about being a woman who is repair savvy. DO NOT spend your hard earned money here. They need to fold for excessive charges.  When you call the manager on the high price for doing nothing he doesn't know what to say, He gets all flustered, rude and confused. What a boorish ineffective old dude. Since he's been there, the place is a wreck. It's only a matter of time before they close unless they get a new manager.

In the end they were charging way more for the part than necessary. THAT is totally unethical and guaranteed a business who cheats will not survive. It's only a matter of time before all the cusomers find better shops.
