text: If I could give Meineke ZERO stars I totally would because they are sharks!.  So I hit a curb (this is a regular occurance I don't know why) and I needed to get a front end alignment so I thought.  I brought my car to this Meineke because it was close to my house and driving was getting pretty difficult.  When I called before I went over there I asked how much the alignment was and it was in the ball park of $90.  Ok, sweeet!\n\nNo, not sweet.  Sour.\n\nThey said it would take 2 hours JUST TO LOOK AT.  So I went over to Bilbo's and hung out there for a while.  Exactly two hours on the dot they call me to go back to Meineke.  They gave me an estimate of $1400 (no effing way) and said that my car was basically going to explode on me if I don't get the 4 things I needed fixed.  I was told that it was \"unsafe and possibly dangerous\" to drive my car.  Needless to say I didn't have $1400 on me, or even the \"minimum\" amount of what they were going to do which was $600.  I went home deflated :(\n\nThen my friend suggested Ted Wiens (who I will write another awesome yelp review about).....AND HOLY BANANAS WHAT A DIFFERENCE!  Ted Wiens had my car up on their lot in like 45 minutes and was looking at it.  They even brought me out there to show me what was wrong (bent tire rod).  He said it will be like 2 hours to fix and the grand total?  $285.  Yes.  For Everything.  When I asked the guy about all the crap Meineke said I needed he literally said this: \"What?  Are you kidding?  Those A**holes have no idea what they are doing.:\"  He then proceeded to show me EVERY part on my car that Meineke said was \"so totally badly and completely damaged and unsafe\" and they were all fine.  Normal wear and tear.  No need to replace.  \n\nI think I hugged him.\n\nAnyway I just want everyone to know to NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER in your life use this Meineke, they will try to get you to spend unnecessary money!
