Midas

Moving from Rhode Island USA to Alaska, had to stop by this location to ensure the vehicle could make it through Canada. The people of Midas got be out of there in 45 minutes and provided me multiple options for fixes to the cars alignment. Trustworthy, efficient, and dedicated to customer service, would choose this location over all others in the area if you want a fair deal to the problems with your vehicle, this definitely restores my faith in the mechanic.

I just can’t say enough things about this Midas location. This review is an update to my original one posted in 2011 (also 5 stars).
Over the past 4 years, my husband and I had to bring our dying Ford Focus here more times than I’d like to recount before it finally bit the dust two weeks ago.
What I appreciate most about this Midas location is that they never made us feel stupid for not being «car» people, always took the time to explain and/​or physically show us what needed to be done on the car, and always returned telephone calls promptly. Additionally, they gave us options and explanations of what needed to be done ASAP or what could wait.
What more could you ask for from a local repair shop? We probably won’t be back to this location for awhile as we’ve bitten the bullet and purchased a new vehicle that will be under warranty for some time now but we will most definitely continue to recommend and refer our friends and family to this Midas location.
Two thumbs WAY up!

Long story short, I brought my car in because it was smelling hot. They took me in that day, looked at my car, phoned me back, and proceeded to gently inform me that I had put too much oil in my car. Embarrassed, I walked into their shop, they told me the fine details of the problem, and how they fixed it completely free of charge.
Thank you Jason and crew for always being there and not charging me for my stupidity.
I will recommend Midas, St. Albert, to anybody who needs work done on their vehicle. They can sit and read the paper while they wait, the coffee is always on.

I knew I had a manifold leak and asked them to look for it. They spent 90 min and didn’t find it. The fact that it was a hairline crack made it hard to locate. I had to take it to two other shops to figure out the location of the leak.
It doesn’t matter to me that Midas couldn’t find the problem; to be fair, it was really really hard to locate. What really counts is that they told me they couldn’t find it. I got a no-​bullshit straight-​forward answer and they didn’t charge me for any of their time. I returned the favour by dropping off a case of beer for the boys in the shop. People are people, don’t be a jerk and they’ll treat you with respect.

They know their s**t, I wouldn’t hesitate going here for a domestic car. They had no trouble getting to the battery to replace it, something that threw off the likes of Canadian Tire and Wal-​Mart.

Friendly Service and Honest Dealings

Quality Excellent
Had my car towed to St Albert Midas and dealt with James. They took it in the same day despite no appointment and they were busy. It needed a complete brake job all round, the rears were leaking fluid so likely what caused the rear tire to lock up. I looked over the old parts, definitely needed doing. Price charged was fair and reasonable for the work done, far less than a dealer would charge and on par with their competitiors. Their shop rate of $ 120 an hour is getting pretty steep, on par with even the Lexus dealer, but the overall price was better none the less.
They did a full inspection while they had the car and despite the car having over 300,000 Klms they didn’t try yo SELL me anything more. All the other items passed fine, as I knew they should.
I also saw how they dealt with and treated other clients while I waited to pick up my car. Straight up, honest and full disclosure even with a couple of clients who would have been easy to take. Actually told one he didn’t need to spend as much as he though, could be done for far less.
Nice to find an honest repair shop right off the bat, when you are new to town.
