It was a Saturday and we were coming into Helena which was our best chance to find some sort of quick lubr place. But what sjop would take a 9 1/2 foot clearance? Lots of places can't. I called and they told me their headroom was 10 feet. Our van was 9.5. They took us in, as they were directing us, they were keeping an eye out for our air conditioner and I felt that they really took good care of us. And they were nice guys, very personable. I was gonna remember one fellow's name because he was so great, but unfortunately I've forgotten. (Helena native wearing shorts in cool weather - he said he wear shorts all winter long!) Anyway a good experience, went right thru, got back on the road without the oil change light on. Thanks!

The outcome is my transmission is fine. It's really a minor engine issue and may not need immediate fixing. Honesty is fantastic in this small business. So I saved $5700. Not sure if the big dealership is just incompetent or worse. Obviously when I do need a transmission, I know where to buy it! Thanks for the help. Tom

So my car was taken to this place and at first it was a normal experience then I started asking…read morewhen my car would be fixed after a week of waiting pretty normal right then I finally got a answer after two weeks they said it was done I went and picked it up and made it about 25 miles then the transmission was slipping shifting hard for about two miles then it was barely able to move so I got ahold of them and I was told to take it back here is when it got very frustrating I looked over the work on the car that was supposed to have a new transmission it was not new it was not replaced so I took it back to him and said that there was nothing done to my car I was told I was wrong but why would a new transmission stop working in 25 miles it would not have stopped working like that so then I was told I have to wait at the back of the line because he is busy I would think that being I already paid in full I would be first in line sence I have waited over two weeks at this point but nope he will get to it when he has Time

On a visit with friends in Helena, Mt 8/29/21.....11:38"16am I stopped at the Helena Walmart Auto…read moreCenter to have my Dodge 2500 Truck maintenanced. We needed an Oil Change. I asked for their least expensive Oil Change to include Pit Crew ONLY nothing fancy no bells & whistles. I supplied the oil, but not the filter. I asked that the tire pressure stay at 80 psi per tire because I was pulling a 34" 5th Wheel around 14,500lbs. They said they would do the oil change, lube & supply the filter giving us credit for the supplied oil. When I went to pay it was the most expensive I've had to pay for an oil change at any Walmart in any state all things being equal. That being said I complied & payed. I was charged extra for services that I did not ask for.They concurred that my tire pressure was checked & left at 80 psi. Upon returning home I was surprised to find that I had a pretty good oil leak on the floor of my garage. I called my local Walmart Auto Center where I always have it serviced, brought them my receipt & they checked it out and couldn't find anything wrong to cause the leak. Before making an appointment to have it checked out at the dealer, the oil leak had completely stopped. Whatever they did at the Redding Center took care of the problem. They hand tightened the oil plug & filter. I now believe that is all it took. I then went to my local Big O Tire outlet to have my tire inflation checked & put back to normal no longer pulling RV, Guess what, Helena, Mt had put the incorrect pressure in my tires after saying they left it at 80 psi it was actually 60 psi in the front & 70 psi in the rear. I was lucky not to have an accident pulling the 5th wheel home 1400 miles. Big O even said we were lucky not to have blown a tire or worse pulling that kind of weight. I am writing this review to forewarn others not to have their Oil Change or any Auto Service at this Walmart in Helena, Mt. I've never had a problem at any other Walmart Auto Center in any state other than at Helena store #01872 2750 Prospect Ave.

DO NOT GO HERE -- Lied to me, overcharged me, and treated me like garbage…read more Meineke completely blew my trust -- not just once, but twice. First Visit (July 2025) I brought my car in for severe shaking and engine misfiring. They diagnosed bad spark plugs and one bad ignition coil -- and that part was accurate. But they overcharged me by billing $252 for a single ignition coil. Not a set -- just ONE. You can find a full set of four online for $90-$140. They also charged me $90 for 20 minutes of labor, which breaks down to $275 an hour. That's three times what local shops charge. Then came the upsell: they pushed a BG full induction service, claiming it would help smooth out the engine. Here's the problem: * Ignition coils and spark plugs are part of the ignition system, which controls the spark that fires the engine. * A BG induction service is meant to clean the air/fuel intake system, including the throttle body and intake valves. These are completely different systems -- like fixing windshield wipers to stop your tires from leaking. Pushing an induction service to fix a misfire caused by a bad coil is misleading at best. I told them I had a strict $500 cap (due to warranty coverage) and couldn't afford the full service. They said: "No problem -- we'll just do the first part of the induction service to keep you under." That "first part"? Just a quick fuel additive in the tank. No BG tools. No throttle cleaning. Just a bottle dumped in. They charged $30 -- which, to be fair, is what BG 44K costs, so I'm not upset about that part. They were transparent about it. I'm including it here because it sets up what happened next... Second Visit (October 1st, 2025) -- Where Things Got SHADY Still shaking. So I brought it back. This time, they said carbon buildup in the throttle body was to blame -- and pushed the full BG fuel induction service again, which they said I "declined" last time. I agreed. What did I get? Just a quick aerosol spray into the throttle body. That's it. * No specialized BG tools. * No multi-step cleaning. * No proof that anything beyond a spray was done. They charged $129.26. Let's break that down: * $90 for labor (for a job that took 20 minutes). * That's $275/hour -- for a basic spray I could've done myself. * Even worse, the invoice claimed 0.60 hours (36 minutes) -- but I dropped the car off at 4:00 PM and it was done by 4:17 PM. So unless they time-traveled, that's a falsified bill. I Have Recorded Proof * In a recorded call, Jeremy (the mechanic) admitted it was just a spray, not the full BG package. * He also admitted he didn't know it was billed as the full service. * When I calmly pointed out that this was false advertising and billing fraud, he swore at me, got belligerent, and transferred me because he couldn't handle being called out. * I also recorded a call with a respected local mechanic, who agreed it was not the real BG service -- and said $130 for that kind of work was laughable. What Happened After? I submitted all of this to the Better Business Bureau, and Meineke never responded. BBB was forced to mark the complaint "unresolved" and it now appears on their public record for three years. Then I went to the Montana Office of Consumer Protection. Even they agreed it was egregious -- but said I'd have to file in small claims court. So that's where I'm at. Bottom Line: This business is shady. What I was told I'd get is not what I got. It's textbook misrepresentation, and I have the receipts -- literally and figuratively. It's like a salon telling you they'll give you a perm for $100, then giving you a mullet, and saying: "Well, mullets cost $100 too, so what's the problem?" Then later realizing they charged you $400 for it anyway. Where You SHOULD Go: I now take my vehicles to Frederick at QRF Automotive. * He's honest. * He's patient. * He's fairly priced. * He treats you like family and won't quit until it's fixed. Call him at 406‑916‑2690. Forget Meineke -- he's the real deal.
