I am beyond furious with this place. I was initially quoted around $1300 after I brought in my car for the free inspection. It was making a grinding sound whenever I engaged the clutch and I was told by them that it was the clutch and the flywheel that needed to be replaced.
After seeing the $800+ charge they wanted for labor I decided I probably wouldn't be returning. However, I ordered the parts and took it to a DIY Shop to have them replace the old parts with the new ones. The next day, I get a call from them, and they are asking who said to replace the clutch and flywheel as there is nothing wrong with them. And in fact it is completely clear that it is the input shaft that needs to be replaced. I spent around $600 on nonrefundable clutch parts to find out that I didn't even need them.
I will never be stepping in Meineke Car Center again. I am now out $1400 due to their poor inspection. Time to find another honest car center in town. Meineke is not one of them.
