Meineke Car Care Chris Early Professional ripoff artist DO NOT GO TO MEINEKE Columbus Ohio

I am posting this as I have seen other reports of Mr Chris Early on this site.

I am a former employee of Mr. Early's Meineke Car Care, I was Fired by Chris because I was told by my manager to pull a car in the building (while I was off the clock) and the manager guided me into the bay. Now the reason I was fired is the manager guided me into a leg on the lift and it cut down a tire on the customers car. I was then told by the manager that I would have to pay for the tire. I told him he was full of S#*T and I was not paying anything because I was doing him a favor and was off the clock, and he should have seen that I was going to hit the lift with the tire. His response was that it was not his decsion but chris' and that he would take it from my check.

Well he did take it from my check and i told him if that is how he wanted to treat me then I was not going to work for him another minute, He said "fine your fired get your box out and when I get all my uniforms Ill get you yor last check" my uniforms were all there so i demanded my check the next friday, he said the uniform guy had not been there to confirm all of mine were turned in, so I waited another week for my check. When I did recieve my check it was wrong I made $10 per hour the whole time I worked for him my last check was for the hours I worked @ $4.50 per hour. Needless to say I contacted him Right away as he is to big of a chicken s#*t to give it to me in person and he said that I was a "Peice of s**t technician and that was all I was worth" I cut my losses and found other employment (the day after I left) because I such a horrible technician and all
and found out thru friends what comes around goes around. Mr Early has suffered great losses due to people vandilizing his buildings and property. oh BTW for all of you people thinking about taking your car there, This guy DID have one of his buildings burnt to the ground to make a false insurance claim, them all the parts that really were in the fire (that he claimed as a loss) he DID install on customers cars, He DOES charge you more for a $12 straight pipe that you have to bend and make fit (if your lucky) than what you could go down to the parts store and by the right pipe for your car. He DOES cheat Meineke Corprate out of the royalities by having 2 invoices (1 for pads shes and mufflers only, warranty purposes) and 1 for work that his under the table company does. This guy IS a shifty, shady fellow, but he is not as stupid as he would like you to believe. Stay away from Meineke Car Care.

on another note I have since started my own shop and I am doing every thing I can to hurt not only Chris' shop but a few other shifty places.
