took my car in for brakes. thought they did an ok job. some time later, heard a clunking sound from the front left wheel well. took it in. they claimed a) the front brakes were bad again, and b) shock was broke. cutting to the chase, thousands of dollars later another shop determined the real problem - totally shot ball joints. in fact, the left front wheel had so much play in the movement that some kind of accident was inevitable. the wheel had over 2 inchs of play.\r

even though the meineke team itself said they were not able to align the front end after the brake job, this was not enough to clue them in on broken ball joints. this meineke's lack of expertise could have cost my family their lives.\r

Pros: better choice than a sewage plant at that address
Cons: dangerously inept
