Tom Remy / Meineke Car Care Center
Dishonest Car Repair, Less than competent technicians

I brought my 1990 Toyota 4 Runner to Tom Remy, who owns the Lakewood, CO Meineke Car Care Center in Lakewood, CO for a simple break repair job.

The mechanic/shop manager (who I am assuming doesn't work there anymore...) quickly advised me my Truck was misfiring and was in need of an engine replacement, he suggested a complete engine rebuild and quoted me roughly $3200.

I knew the truck needed a new engine so I went ahead and agreed to have them rebuild the engine, they originally quoted me 1 month for completion.

Three months later (not 1 month) after over a dozen of schedule completion dates missed, excuses that they were having problems with parts etc. They finally said the truck was ready to go.

I went to pick up the 4 Runner and was surprised that the check engine light was on... The 'shop manager' blamed it on a bad noc sensor... After lie, after lie I decided to take it to another technician, this time a Toyota Certified one who quickly diagnosed it as a bad engine rebuild.
