Midas

Just another rip off chain. They make money off people who don’t even know they are being ripped off. Last time I come here! It is so funny that the guy was having trouble installing a break light. I simple task and that’s scary. I would never take my car to get major work here!

I stopped in for a quick visit to just get a headlight put in and oil change. Unfortunately when I left I realized that work was not done completely or the wrong way and my headlight was still not on. I plan on going back tomorrow and hopefully the issue will be resolved but it is annoying that I will have to go back to get such a minor issue resolved. Should have been done right and tested before I left the location. Their courtesy check was nice as they brought me out to the vehicle and ran me through a couple things that can be done as far as keeping up the vehicle, but I just wish I didn’t have to go back.
Update: I am deciding to upgrade my review to 3 stars. When I arrived everything was done to resolve the issue. When I arrived they told me that the bulb I bought blew out which is hard to believe an hour after it was installed but did everything possible to resolve the issue without charge. I may not go back to this location but I appreciate what they did to make sure I left this time with a working headlight

I was getting ready to take a trip to Virginia and needed a quick oil change. I popped into this Midas and they started taking care of my car right away. I even asked them to look at exhaust pipe that Nissan said needed replacing and they gave me full assessment on that as well.
I don’t think I would ever bring my car to chain shop for a more serious need like others mention. My advice find a good family run place that lives and dies on reputation and word of mouth.

The new management is incompetent. Twice I was told to come in that there was no wait and twice my car and I sat and waited for an hour before my car was even brought into the bay. I’m done coming here. I miss Shan. He was the best.

I was going to this location for a while. Then my car needed a distributor cap and wires replaced, and was missing. Took it to Midas and they insisted the entire distributor was bad, and the car was disabled after driving it to the shop. So I had little choice but to pay. Now, 5 months later, the distributor, or one of its components failed and stranded me. The shop where I took it said the aftermarket distributor was the culprit. I am demanding a refund from Midas of $ 690.57 for their work, which just cost me $ 869.00 to correct. Will update as this unfolds
Midas location did give me a partial refund, so I updated my review.

Horrible service. I called ahead to see how long it would be to change out a tire and have an oil change — I was told an hour at most. I live less than 5 minutes away and left right away. When I arrived I was told it wouldn’t be long. The next thing I know the manager takes me in the shop where both front tires are removed and tells me I need two new tires! My other front tire did not need to be replaced and how was I to tell that was even my tire and not an old one they had sitting around the shop. He then charged me a $ 20.00 «shop fee»! 3.5 hours later they finally finished! I did not complain about the wait time or that they took my car apart without my permission. I then went to pay and inquired about a military discount and the manager Josh so rudely said they offer no discounts. He did not apologize for my horrible experience either. I was in complete shock how they treat their customers. I will not be returning to this Midas or any Midas and have taken my business else where. I also encourage others to do the same so they will not have the same service I did.

I took my old and ailing CRV to these guys and was very impressed with their work. I second the previous reviewer’s assessment that these are honest mechanics that you can trust. Courteous, professional, and reasonably priced. I will definitely go to them again.

These are honest mechanics you can trust. I’ve been going there for a couple of years now and they consistently go above and beyond each time. They have fixed my car while I was out of town and couldn’t be there to deliver it or pick it up. I’ve thought there were big problems before and it turned out it was a minor fix. They’ve replaced fluid for free twice. I love this place and feel like they save me every time I go there. Great neighborhood shop.

I’ve been incredibly swamped lately, and was way overdue for an oil change. I found a little window between work and a class to get it done and found this near my class. It’s advertised as open until 6. I came at about 5:30. I’m told by the owner that «everyone’s gone for the day.» Are you kidding me? From these reviews, it looks like I’m better off.

I went to this place several times and was satisfied with their service, but a couple of incidents have caused me to NEVER want to go back.
My car was making an awful sound when I drove, so I took it in. I was told the sound was my break pads and they needed replacement (and they really did). So, I got the break pads replaced. But the noise continued. I brought it back by and told them the car was still making noise. They looked at it again and assured me it was nothing– they said something about a wheel baring, but told me it was fine and safe, nothing could be done, and I shouldn’t worry about it. Well, the noise continued and it got worse. I brought the car in for an oil change, at which point they told me the noise was the belts. I didn’t get the belts changed at the time, as I wanted a second opinion.
I decided to take the car somewhere else to get new tires and to get the noise checked out, as it continued to get worse. The new place told me that the wheel baring on one of my wheels was so messed up that the wheel was about to come off of the car. Had to get that replaced, and because it had gone on so long, I had to get the hub replaced as well. This was obviously a really dangerous situation, but the guys at Midas failed to detect it, even with multiple checks.
Another (minor, but still frustrating) thing that happened: my windshield washers do not work. They didn’t work when I got my car. I got them fixed last year (not at MIdas), but they stopped working again. I asked the guys at Midas if I needed the washers to work in order to pass inspection– if so, I was going to go and get them fixed at the previous place while they were still under warranty. The Midas guys assured me that the wipers needed to work, but the washers did not. Well, now I’m reading the PA state code regarding inspection, and I see that the windshield washers DO, in fact, have to work to pass inspection. Now, I should have checked this myself earlier, but it is disconcerting that the guys who do inspection didn’t even know something as simple as that.

I went in for a replacement muffler. The old muffler that was on there (from Wynnewood Citgo) was the wrong size and shape, and it was falling off as a result. I was happy with the quick service and the price here at this Midas shop. The manager actually gave me a deal below the listed price. I don’t recommend drinking their free coffee.
