Go to a Place that Cares
I stupidly take my car for a simple inspection and an oil change. They "upsell" me on the oil package, saying they'll top off my "fluids." Turns out "fluids" no longer means transmission fluids, but just washer fluid. $10 well-spent there.

I brought it in at 10am on a Saturday, and receive a call at 3:50 that my car did not pass. And they close in 10 minutes, could I please get it off the lot before then.

I fix the issue, and, already being charged for the inspection, I decide I might as well take it back there so they can pass it. One of the mechanics says they'll need to do a complete reinspection, so even though they close at 6 I should be there around 4:45 to ensure they can get it done. I miss the deadline by 10 minutes for work conditions, and they suggest I bring it by Saturday morning.

I'm given an estimate of an hour and a half. This time, the person behind the desk lets me know that they only need to reinspect the part that failed - interesting change of story.

2 hours later, I call for a status report. It still has not been seen. "Give it 30 more minutes, we should get it done by then."

RIDICULOUS service. I understand that they're busy, but they are so "by the book" and focused on selling and gauging the customer as much as possible that they don't care at all. I will never take my car to a Meineke or other chain again.

By the way...a quote for a replacement ball joint and control arm was $1300 - another mechanic got it done for $400. Now that's money well-spent.

Most Reasonable, Great Service
The new owner has redone the building so that it really looks nice with a waiting room with wireless internet that I don't mind waiting in! They are the most reasonable car repair shop in the Chapel Hill area. They figured out a grinding noise that turned out to be a stuck brake pad and fixed it for $75.00. I willl use them again.

Not so great auto care
The service is not what it's used to be because a new owner bought the store. The car mechanics don't know what they are doing. It is great if you know actually what maintenance service you need. Don't count on them to find out what's wrong with your car. They simply have no clues. In addition, don't trust what they say on the coupon, for example, free tire rotation and inspection with an oil change. They didn't even look at the tires after the oil change and they just told you that they have inspected the car. It is no doubt the cheapest oil change in town with a coupon. But you got what you paid for.

Be careful... by Molly J. at InsiderPages
When my car was having problems with exhaust, I went here because it was close. The told me I needed an entirely new exhaust system on my 15 year old car despite the fact that I only need it to pass inspection for one more year. The total they quoted me was $1500, on a car worth less than $500! I said no thanks and went elsewhere to get adequate repairs for $200. Be wary of this place, they will try to rip you off. Make sure you know what you need and what you don't need. It also pissed me off that they treated me like a child (I assume because I'm female) and acted like I had no idea what I was talking about.
