Midas

Have been coming to this Midas location for over 10 years. Was there again today for oil change and follow up for previous work. They know my car well and are very fair. They will offer to drive you to work if you need a ride. Very comfortable and clean waiting area and room TV and coffee. Would highly recommend.

Came in for an oil change, and left with a reliable shop I will be coming to again for future needs. The mechanics were thorough with inspection and helpful with my questions. Prices were reasonable and service was fantastic.

I came in here because all of sudden there was a loud sound coming from the back of my car. Midas said they could fix it and charged me almost $ 1000. After I paid and drove it a while, I found out that the sound was still there. I looked at the bill and saw that they charged me over $ 700 for labor and only thing they changed was the wheel bearings. When I called them, he said he had set the timer and that’s how long it took him to fix the wheel bearings. Do not come to this place they will over charge you! I later took it to a friend and he told me it was the differentiator.

DO NOT GO HERE! I took my car here the other day because I had a coupon for an oil change and tire rotation.
They informed me that my transmission fluid is leaking and that it must be fixed immediately or my «power steering will go out and I will be stuck on the side of the road in need of a new transmission». I tried to get an idea of how soon «immediately» was and they informed me it was extremely urgent. I told them I am short on cash right now and asked them if I could top off the transmission fluid in the meantime and they told me that you cannot top off the transmission fluid in my «newer» car.
When I got home I noticed that my tires did not appear to have been rotated and I also found it odd that I could not top off the trans fluid. I decided to get a second opinion.
Upon taking my car to another place (Oil Pro on Devon Ave) I discovered that Midas had tried to take advantage of me. I was informed that the transmission leak was so slight that I would likely be fine for over a year. I mentioned how they said I couldn’t top the transmission fluid off and the guy laughed and showed me how to do it myself. He also confirmed my suspicion that Midas had Not rotated my tires.
I will NEVER go back to Midas again. They not only blatantly lied to me, they also failed to do a service that I paid them to do.

Rude and never sent my free oil change as promised… Felt uncomfortable just going into the store.

really great customer service. They really go above and beyond to help you however they can. I’ll definitely go back for all my car needs.

Don’t even go this place. I had a horrible experience when I just changed my oil. They asked me to do Tire rotation which I agreed. Then. calibration was not set after rotation. It is stupid easy thing to do just for myself but when I asked them to do it, then he said he will charge me for $ 25. With all fees I paid, it should be included. So I did myself. Anyway, this management is rotten as you can see other people’s review. If you would still go here, then good luck with their estimate. You would be surprising what they would bring it to your table.

To continue, just five minutes ago, on April 5, 2015 I received a phone call from the owner-​Anil, stating that he can’t do anything about charges he applied, even those I called in my previous review hidden. According to him that was a charge for flushing radiator, totally unauthorized and undisclosed to me service only necessary because of his mistake but since I think battery was unnecessary replaced he can give me my old battery back and refund money I paid for. I agree to it, but five minutes later he calls back that unfortunately my old battery was disposed already, what a coincidence. He also was sorry that he had me as a customer… Poor guy. That’s all from proud owner of at list couples Midas stores, from guy who his former clients described him as con artist, scammer, etc.

I was very hesitant to go here, because I had a TERRIBLE experience with a different Midas location in the suburbs. But I had a tire blowout, and had to deal with whatever was closest. I called early in the morning, and asked for their cheapest tire. She told me it would be $ 57, but it would be approx an hour until they got it from the warehouse. This was a nuisance, because I was late for work, she understood, and even offered to give me a ride to work. I politely declined, but I did appreciate the sentiment. Later, I brought in the rim (car couldn’t make it there). They had the tire mounted and ready to go in ¹⁰⁄₁₅ minutes. Also, I was informed that she misquoted me, and failed to include the labor charges in my estimate, but they said they would still honor that quote. Which is kind of unbelievable, I was very impressed with that. And to top off my interaction, they even gave me a ride to my car so I didn’t have to call a cab. They went over the norm to help me out, and I really appreciated it.

DO NOT GO HERE. THEY ARE SCAM ARTISTS.
Went once for an oil change, that was fine… next day the car started losing pressure. At the time, I didn’t realize they were the ones who punctured my tire, so… I took it back, they said that it was in an area that couldn’t be repaired, so had to replace the tire (which was not even 2 years old). I didn’t think they were the ones who put the nail in there UNTIL… second oil change and two days later, guess what!!! The other back tire is leaking out of no where. Once, ok maybe, but twice in a matter of months right after I went in to their shop, I think NOT.
I have reported them to the BBB and wish I had read the reviews prior to my first visit.
I Will NEVER return.
NEVER…how do these type of people sleep at night scamming consumers for hundreds of dollars?!
Needless to say, I did not get the tire repaired there and WILL NEVER RETURN (redundant, I know :)

What a JOKE… Midas Shop… this place should be named Gotcha Auto. Ripoff artists supreme! Midas Corporate should look into how this shop is hurting their reputation. I was charged $ 51.00 for what I found out later was a $ 14.00 part and an additional $ 30.00 labor to plug it in, this was while they were servicing front brake rotor and was fully disassembled for repair, all they had to do is plug in the the sensor. While I was waiting for my car I witnessed numerous scams and tactics that were questionable. I would avoid this establishment… just a heads up! By the way the owner has no customer skills and the personality of a wet fart… he should just stay in the back room counting his ill gotten gains. Had to give 1 star because they are so good at ripoffs.

Charged me $ 50 for an air filter to be replaced. Any other oil change shop will do it for $ 15… They always have a list of things that need to be fixed on my car, but when I take it to my mechanic they say it’s fine

Owner told me I needed an alternator and water pump, around $ 1000.
Charged $ 100 for diagnosis. Turns out I need neither item replaced.

The owner is a liar. Far from honest. If u go in for an oil change he’ll tell you your car will break down and u need at least 1500 dollars worth of work on it. Just bought brand new tired, went in for an oil change and the owner said my tires were dangerous to drive on.

I ended up paying $ 100 for an oil change here the other week. Granted, it was synthetic motor oil, but $ 100???
Now, the staff was really friendly, they got my car in and out in less than 30 minutes, and they gave me a coupon for a free oil change next time.
So, I will give them three stars and possibly another chance. But probably not for an oil change… after I get my free one, of course!

I have been here three times and each time I was ripped off. I have been to dozens of auto shops but this place is the worst ever. Owner is rude. I called his corp office and wrote several times to complain with no response. Everyone I talk to in town knows about this place and hopefully they will be shut down soon.

My girlfriend has taken her car here on a number of occasions, and ALWAYS runs into trouble. I literally just got off the phone with her, and she was so upset over how they treated her she was crying. It’s your standard litany of problems w/​auto repair shops, but let me highlight the consistent problems:
— Failure to properly estimate repairs
— Failure to notify customer if costs might go up
— Failure to actually fix problems, requiring multiple trips
She took her car in to get an oil change, and mentioned that she had been having trouble w/​her air conditioner. It wasn’t working unless turned all the way up. They offered to go in and fix it, and she said that was fine so long as it wouldn’t cost more than $ 250 — WHICH THEY AGREED TO. Turns out they had to special order the part for her car, and she said don’t bother. Well, under the threat of «you’re going to have to pay the labor anyway» she acquiesced. Well, she goes to get her car today and the bill is over $ 500. Oh, and they never changed the oil, and the check engine light is on the moment she pulls out of the parking lot.
The guy that was dealing w/​her is named Anil. He’s an a$$hole. Avoid this place at all costs.
