Meineke Joyride: Dash Cam Catches Mechanic's Reckless Driving

A customer brought his vehicle to Meineke for an oil change and an exhaust clamp repair, unaware that his car's dash cam was recording. Over approximately 15 minutes, the footage captured mechanics engaging in concerning behavior, including excessive speeding on a 25 mph street and rolling through a stop sign. The customer expressed a profound sense of betrayal upon reviewing the recordings, stating, "This is my car. I take care of it. I love it."

Adding to the customer's distress, the engine light on his car illuminated a few days to a week after he retrieved the vehicle. While he did not file a police report, he complained to management, who offered a free oil change. The parent company of Meineke did not respond to multiple requests for comment from Action 9 over more than a month, nor did the specific location respond to inquiries.
