    Overall, commendable experience with United Tire. Lenny was at the desk that day. Despite that I…read morehad made an appointment at the last second, on the wrong date, with a more difficult set of wheels, he took notice of the urgency of my problem. They were very accomodating given the circumstances. They also notified me of a few other details I wasn't aware of that I was able to clear up on my own time. There was also a older woman who works at the hospital, she needed two tires, a taillight, a turn signal bulb, and some other little stuff. They worked with her like I would never have expected, and were able to be resourceful and find everything she needed. Honest guys doing top quality work. Highly recommended.

    I have a sneaking suspicion that the corp headquarters is pressuring them to increase sales. For…read moreinstance I had an oil change last feb and was told my battery is on life support. I didn't listen and it's still going strong. Other things I'm getting the feeling that this is an increasingly common practice among all customers. Sit there long enough it's a feeling from listening to interactions. Also had my tires rotated and suddenly my alignment is out? How can this happen ?Went back to where it was done 6 months ago and had them do it again . The reason I didn't have United do it because the one and only time I had it done there it was never good. Always drifted slightly to one side but never wanted to hassle going back for a correction, just didn't have confidence in them after that even if it was ever so slight. Another time I was in and was told I had 4mm on front brakes which became a 2mm several months later mysteriously since I put on approximately 500 miles a month ! When I told Lenny this had a reply was that " well it's 2mm now"! I foolishly went ahead and had them give me front brakes for 600!but since it was for an inspection I felt I had no choice.Sometimes one gets a feeling about how things like this occur and sadly I don't feel I can trust this business any longer. I've been vacillating between sending and not sending this review in but it's been bothering me and I have to wonder if I truly need all the other work that I was told I needed.

    Went to this location because I have been going here for about 6 years…read more This last trip was very disappointing. Made a 10:00 appointment on line for a oil change. Dropped my car off before they opened. Put on the paper that was filled out at the night drop off box to get the car back as soon as possible. Did not get a call that the car was done until 4:00 pm. There was a big grease stain on my custom floor matts that I then had to clean up (luckily I was able to get the stain out). There was one of the shops tablets/computers on the top of my car. Luckily it did not fall off of my car. Barely got a thank you when I returned it. Don't know if Bob is still the GM or not but the stores service sure has gone down hill like a car with no breaks.

    The gentleman who helped me at the end was nice, but I think over all customer service needs and…read moreimprovement. People were waiting and weren't greeted. The one woman just sat on her phone while a line formed. I think "hello, someone will be with you in a moment" goes a long way. I brought my car in for a routine inspection and left paying $501. When they called about the coolant they said it needed flushed they quoted me about $130 something but didn't mention it would be $500 or I wouldn't have approved it. I figured with a routine inspection averaging no more than $90 that would be fine. I go to pick up my car to get slapped with a $501 bill. After reviewing my itemized receipt, I believe some things were unnecessarily added. Most places I've taken it send a text or an email to ask you to approve the price. I will not be back, consider what if the client didn't have the money? I have gotten this car inspected at various places and dealerships and never questioned the pricing. This is the most I've paid for such minimal work. Better off taking it to the dealer next time.

Everything you would want in a car service store. My only drawback is they overcrowd their parking area consistently and started the work without my specifically saying. It worked out fine in the end but it was frustrating. I appreciated the service, the quick turnaround and fair pricing.

Regarding the Jamie L. review he is full of shit.I was at the store when Jamie L. called and Joe Palmer had him on speaker phone so i heard the whole conversation. Joe P. told Jamie L. he couldn't pass the car because the wipers could not remove the sap on the windshield and that the wipers just made the sap worse. Joe P. told him he could buy wipers anywhere and put them on in his parking lot and if they got rid of the sap he would pass the inspection. It is my opinion and my first amendment rights to say Jamie L. is a spoiled little baby when he doesn't get his way. I gave Joe P . a standing ovation after he hung up because of the way he handled the baby.Professionalism at it's best P.S.Just so you know Jamie L. all the phone calls to Meineke are recorded.It is the first statement on the recorded message when you call Meineke.

    The workmanship here was direct and honest and professional---------I traveled there from Lower…read moreMerion and found Captain Phil and his crew to be wonderfully helpful----no promotion of fear or uncertanity or doubt by anybody. road diagnosis by Phil was detailed and communicative, no baloney or exaggeration, a thorough piece of analysis done over a thirty minute test. the terms and price were fair and the service was great,. made a appointment, car went in, took a short time, inspected in the shop, and then road tested in minutes. a 2012 honda crv had no shudder, a little free touch to the transmission, and the wagon moved well and silently. it experienced its youth. I can only say the very best about Phil and his guys--------------high quality and excellent service at a kind price. hats off for a great job, no mularkey anywhere.

    I went to Mainline based on the reviews seen here and also because they were recommended by my…read moremechanic of over 30 years. 1st, I rarely write reviews. It has to be requested face to face......or I'm genuinely insulted by the experience. This review is based on the latter unfortunately and I hope it serves as a warning to others. My truck is clean and cared for. When I notice anything mechanically wrong, I fix it before it gets worse. This is not a landscaping or construction vehicle. It carries light loads, maintenance intervals are performed by the book or better. The truck is rust free. I dropped my 5 year old truck off to have the rear differential rebuilt. It started making noise a week or so prior, just bearing noise, it drove fine. Within a day or 2 of picking the truck up there was a noise coming from the back of the truck over bumps, I've never heard this before and it continued to get worse. I returned to Mainline, explained what I was hearing and they took it out for a drive. They heard the noise but could not figure out what was making it and stated it had nothing to do them. I returned to them twice (they are over 20 minutes from me) They refused to look further. I realized (through my own research and work) the passenger rear spring was moving too easily when the truck was lifted 2 inches by a jack under the hitch. So I set up jack stands, lifted the rear of the truck fully exposing the springs. I know what it's supposed to look like after seeing the service manual. Both rear springs were installed upside down. The isolators were ruined for this reason as there was no way for them to seat properly. This is why the passenger spring was moving and hitting the truck frame, making the noise I was hearing. That spring is slightly shorter due to the gas tank being on the driver side to accommodate the weight difference. I was informed by Mainline that my mechanic of 30 years must have done this several months ago when he replaced the shocks, it just didn't make noise until I picked it up after Mainlines work. If it wasn't him, then it was the dealer 3 years prior...... I spent 2 weeks trying to figure this out, hours under the truck, then fixed it myself. I am not a mechanic. ZERO help from Mainline. If I had taken my truck to an automotive motive school for the work, I could understand and absorb some of the blame for the decision and the outcome. This is not a small mistake, someone knew it wasn't right and installed it anyway. For anyone reading this, it is the most important thing to consider. I believed you get what you pay for. I paid full price, and did not. So what did I get for 3k? That's the best part....I have no idea.
