Meineke Car Care center

I had to get my tie rod replaced (recommended by Schmitz Exxon) though I think it wasn't really necessary. After getting quotes from several garages in the area I found this Meineke to be MUCH cheaper; at least $100 lower. After setting up an appointment and dropping it off, the guy, Jay called a few hours later saying he ordered the wrong part. I took it back and brought it in 2 days later (he was too busy the next day). He fixed it up but when driving it back home, I noticed a vibrating noise when idling & on gearshift. When I called him the next day he was reluctant to look at it, but finally agreed. He hurriedly inspected it and said that it MIGHT be the low transmission fluid or a host of other things. I took it to the Exxon down the road and they found the problem to be some misaligned exhaust pipe; it looked to them that something hit the underside of the car. In conclusion, I'd say I might have had a one-time bad experience, but the guy was definately not the most helpful. They are extremely cheap though, but its your trip. They do drop you off if you live/work close-by; theres also a major bus transfer point down the road.
