John, Keith, and the team did a great job taking care of my car when I brought it in to the college location. If you need and oil change or some work done on your car, this is the place to go.
Great customer service from the entire staff. The warm welcoming from Keith and the attention to detail he provided was amazing. The maintenance work done by both Mike and Tony was exceptional. I highly recommend them for any of your automotive services.
Very helpful and friendly, they changed my oil and filter quickly with the appointment, and they helped me with an issue I was With being unable to open the oil valve so that I could add oil to the tank when it needed it. Great location and good staff.
Owners/managers talk to you straight about the problem with your vehicle (what’s necessary to do and what’s non-essential) and communicate effectively throughout the entire process. Costs are straight-forward. Might not be the cheapest (maybe they are) but they have been upfront and honest with me when I show up for brake work.
This place deserves consideration for the effort they put into solving any problem they’re presented with. My vehicle had A/C issues, and they worked countless hours using MANY parts ordered and LOTS of labor hours. It turned into a mess of a project as they discovered the underlying cause through the repair, but they stayed true to their word and communicated effectively through every curveball. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men had to put the car back together again, but my quoted bill never budged a dollar. They took care of everything, my car is perfectly fixed, and they never once misled me about what was happening and why.
Great people make a business, not a great brand name. These people were great, definitely should be considered.
I highly recommend this location for all of your car care needs. I live about 300 miles away from my daughter, who is a freshman in college. We needed some help with a minor but complicated repair. After being treated like a “dumb little girl” by a couple of other places, I called the Meineke on College Ave and spoke with John. John assured me he’d treat my daughter like his own. She took her car over and they determined the issue was a little bigger than initially thought. John made sure he kept in constant contact with me and discussed options. A lesser company could have just completed the repair as asked but John took the high road. A week later, parts were received and the repair was completed. Having a stranger care for my family the same way I do really made our day. As long as we have ties to Baton Rouge, we will use this shop! Thank you John!!!
The service was really great. John was very personable and kind when explaining what I needed to get done. I will definitely come back for other car services
Meineke is one of the best auto repair shops I been to. The men are so helpful especially the man at the front task. They took such good care of my car and worked hard to get it back great condition. 10/10 I will recommend to anyone.
I always feel secure leaving my truck in Mr Bernie and team's hands. Major mechanical or routine electrical. They take care of projects and complete them in a timely and affordable manner.
Charlie worked on my car and did a great job! He was fast and my car drives amazing! 10/10 will be coming back! This is the only person I will let touch my car!
I recently had my A/C repaired at Meineke Car Care, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. The staff was friendly and professional from start to finish, and they explained everything clearly. The repair was done quickly and efficiently, and the price was fair—no surprise charges or upselling.
It’s hard to find an auto shop you can trust, but Meineke really came through. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable car care and great customer service.
Service was quick and was treated like family. I started with needing my A/C which Charlie fixed super quick. I had some more car trouble the next day and they were able to diagnose my cars issue quick. Come here if you want quick service and kind workers. Do call ahead though before bringing your vehicle because sometimes the online booking is not always accurate! :)
Thank you Charlie! Second time I’ve been to Meineke with battery issues in my car. Both times they got me in, with no appointment, and got me out in no time. The mechanics and guys in the office are always super nice. Charlie helped me out today checking my battery and was incredibly kind and helped me out with no problem. As a woman, it can be hard to navigate mechanic shops when you aren’t great with car mechanicals, but Meineke has been extremely kind both times to me! I would recommend 100x over!
I can't say enough about the outstanding customer service at Meineke on College Drive! From the moment I walked in, Big Time Bernie and his incredible crew made me feel right at home. I needed a compressor replacement for a 2017 Volkswagen Passat, and mechanic Mike truly went above and beyond. After two long years without a functioning air conditioner, he worked his magic to get it back up and running like new!
And let's not forget about mechanic Charlie—his infectious smile and positive spirit brightened my day! The entire staff was not only kind but also incredibly knowledgeable, making the whole experience a breeze.
If you're looking for top-notch service, I can't recommend Meineke on College Drive enough! They get a resounding 100000% thumbs up from me!
Excellent customer service, my scheduled appointment was honored, Mr. Bernie Calvaruso (Manager) showed great professionalism along the mechanic who completed my oil change. The lobby was clean & cool as I waited for my vehicle. I was able to use my coupon (from their website) without any problems. I will be going back when my vehicle needs a mechanic.
I had an amazing experience at this shop! The service was top-notch from start to finish. Bernie went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of quickly and professionally. His attention to detail and commitment to excellent customer service truly stood out. Highly recommend!
Was having problems with my car this morning. Brought it in the Meineke where Bernie was able to get his guys on it right away. They told me the job would take a few hours so I got a ride. Shortly after lunch, Bernie called me. It was a great price. They got it in and out. Amazing service.
I called this shop at a moments notice and asked them to fix the AC in my 83 yrs old mother-in-law '16 Chevy Sonic. They told me they had two cancelations and took the car in. They gave me an out of the door price, but once they began repairing it it was determined that the parts and labor would be an additional $500. But they honored their original quote. The car was a salvaged vehicle that had been severely damaged. But these guys still fixed the AC at the price they quoted over the phone. I highly recommend this shop for repairs to your vehicle.
My experience with meineke on college drive was highly admirable. Bernie was extremely customer service oriented and Michael was highly skilled. Great work group. They appear to work very well together & they took good care of me. Thanks again fellas.
My experience at Meineke on College Drive was nothing short of amazing! My parts arrived before my coffee was even finished brewing, and I was in and out before I could take my last sip. Talk about efficiency!
A BIG THANK YOU to Bernie and Charles—you guys truly went above and beyond. Your outstanding service and professionalism made my visit seamless and stress-free. I appreciate you both so much!
Great would be an understatement for my experience here! Mr. Bernie was so fun to talk to and the mechanics were very warm and welcoming as well! They took great care of my car and were very transparent about the entire process. If you're looking for a place that you can trust, then this is where you need to be!
Meineke has consistently treated me very well. My last service was for a brake job. There was an issue with the front pads and they did not hesitate to order replacements. However, before they came in I got in an accident and had to put my car in the body shop. Not only did they hold my pads until it was fixed, the manager called to check on me and make sure all was ok with car and myself. I routinely recommend the college drive shop to anyone needing car repairs because of their honesty and quality of work
This is for the Meineke in Baton Rouge on College drive with the owner Bernie Calvaruso. The Service is great and wonderful they help you out when they can. They are very knowledgeable and always go above and beyond. The guy Bernie really works great with all the customers and will again go out of his way to help. The whole staff is hardworking and great. Recommend by all means
I came in to get a wheel speed sensor. I had to wait on the part to get delivered. While waiting all the technicians were talking to me and we had great conversations. Everyone that works here is friendly and professional. Tony did a great job and was very a funny but professional guy. Bernie the manager is a very nice, respectful, knowledgeable and funny guy. Their prices are very fair also. After the part got delivered they got it installed in great timing. I would recommend this garage to anyone.
If you are looking for professional friendly service, this is the place. I felt like I have been going to them for years. I will definitely be back with customers. Thank you Mike!!!
Shout out to Mr. Michael & Big Time Bernie for saving my Thursday morning! What I thought was an “under the hood” problem turned out to be a plastic bag melted to the exhaust pipe of all things!! We laughed about the situation and Mr. Michael assured me that my car was indeed in great condition and that once the bag is completely melted off, the smell will be gone. STOP LITTERING FOLKS!!
Richard and his grew were very professional, and courteous. Was up front about the total cost of the repair, and there were no surprises or hidden costs. The repair was completed in the time promised. It took longer to wait on parts, than the labor! I would highly recommend this Meineke, if you need repairs while in Baton Rouge!
