    Average fuel is now reading 25.8 mpg after work was performed. I was only getting 19-21 mpg before.

    Is there 10 Stars ??? If there were, you would get my vote. From start to finish, everything was smooth. Andrew got me in same day for new spark plugs, fuel injection cleaning & an oil change. Engine was acting "funny" and I had a trip to Sacramento the next day. Andrew was very professional, patient, understanding and shared car knowledge with me too. He made me feel like family, not just another customer. I also met Dave, the Owner- super nice guy and they offered me a ride home and picked me up when my car was ready! I just called Andrew & told him how great my car ran up & back! More power, felt "smoother" and I got Amazing gas mileage too! WOW - super happy. I definitely recommend going to Preferred Automotive for your vehicle needs.

    Trusting and clear communication... These guys work real fast and will get you back on your wheels at a very efficient pace... I have taken my home on wheels here about 5 times now... 2 times being overnight and about 3 tow trips David Rose, along with Andrew and Gabe have been great for my 1997 Ford Expedition This crew forsure prioritizes quality and they do their best to assess what needs solving first. Many times I came in spontaneously and at other times we scheduled appointments. I am incredibly grateful everytime to get my dog and myself back in the rig ... Thank you to this establishment for their experience which has allowed me to restore this vehicle older than me!

    I can't say enough good things about Meineke in Gilroy. I bring both my Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner…read morehere regularly for routine maintenance, and they've always done a great job. Oil changes, tire rotations, inspections, pretty much everything I've needed has been handled smoothly and professionally. What really stands out to me is how accurate they are with timing. When they tell you when the car will be ready, they actually stick to it. A lot of times it's even done earlier. That's huge for me because I hate going somewhere that says the car will be ready at noon and then it's suddenly 3 p.m. and you're still waiting. That's never been an issue here. The staff is friendly, efficient, and clearly takes pride in their work. It's hard to find an auto shop you can trust, but this Meineke has earned my business. If you're in the Gilroy area and need reliable service, I'd definitely recommend them.

    Do yourself a favor don't go there because they may keep it there mine stayed two weeks because…read moreaccording to them they didn't hire enough mechanics to work on cars ! Then they should accept the cars if you can't work on them I would've gone someplace else Like WHAT THE HELL ???so it sits there?? . I had to buy a whole other car to get to work in San Jose they couldn't get it started or push it or tow it out of that shop I drove it in there just find paying for a regular fluid maintenance oil changes ...that should take no more then an hour !!!!!!!!!! Terrible experience. I wish I can give them zero stars then they say it was something to do with the electrical but it took them only 10 minutes to start it up again after making a phone call to a specialist telling (Jacob ) what to do to start it up I was so mad as HELL I couldn't even tow it out... now I'm trying to sell my other car that I didn't need what a nightmare
