Midas

I LOVE THIS PLACE! One of the MOST consistent autocare experiences I have EVER had! I had some serious concercns that needed attention immediately!
The car was purchased in July of 2015 and is an Escape. My car went through a dealership «inspection» and another mechanical «inspection» by yet a third party; and not a single problem was found, besides a lie from the dealership that the «oil filter housing unit» was leaking.
I returned from a trip out of town to see my Mother for the holidays (December 2015) and we heard a loud «pop», and thought we had hit an animal, but I wanted the car checked out anyways.
Upon returning home, I took the car to Midas, where Pat and Derek had my car on the lift and explained that the bushing had popped and that I would likely need transmission work done. I was not pleased with the expensive report, but it was so wonderful to have them physically show me what was wrong with my car and where.
My car was taken to get a new transmission and additional front end work done. Once that was done, I brought my car back for a second time to have the oil changed and the «oil filter housing unit» inspected. Again, I was treated epiclly and shown that there was no leak and that my car was in good working order from what they could inspect; as nothing is set in stone when you are talking about a very complex machine that we have created. The power steering fluid was flushed and filled. And yet another issue was adressed in a manner that was flat out honest!
I really appreciate these guys because they run such a professional, upstanding, and efficient mechanical facility! I will be returning for ALL my mechanical needs, and you should too because they will do right by their customers!

A+ for customer service! These guys are some of the most honest and reliable mechanics I’ve met. I had my front brakes done today and was very pleased with the service. They are open to price matching local competitors, which I very much appreciated. Highly recommend!

[Revised] I’ve had a couple oil changes here and my wife and I have both had great interactions in our initial visits. Last December we needed our ball joints fixed and battery replaced. I was quoted around $ 630 but after my car was fixed was charged about $ 770. I’m really big on ethics and low balling is a violation of good ethics. I preferred this place until that happened.
(Prior to revision stated other issues but having it checked by another shop revealed no tampering was done. So from my experience and to the best of my knowledge they honest in doing their work and fixing the problem they said they would and leaving it at that.)

I came here for an oil change and tire rotation. After I received my car, I noticed my tires hadn’t been rotated because I have two scuffed rims that hadn’t moved. I asked about it and the manager said he was positive they rotated the tires. Someone else came in and he mentioned it to him and they said they did not rotate the tires. Unimpressed with the service and the fact that the manager was adamant the tires had been rotated when I knew they hadn’t.

This is an establishment I will not even enter again. I was laughed at, spoken to with condescension, and treated very poorly. I will not go back.

5 star service. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Come to think about it, I don’t go anywhere else. I don’t need to go anywhere else. Thank you Midas on Moreland. Thank you.

Like change today. Derek great as usual! Good fast service. Love how they let us know what needs to be done in the near future. Will be back soon to get some other things done :)

Wonderful service. I took my car there three times for little stuff. They never charged me only gave me advice, on how to fix it myself. So when when my car did need major work, I knew they would do it right. I have been bringing my van back for over three years now, with no regrets.

the staff is courteous and know what they are doing. i always have oil change here and they make inspection on other parts quite thoroughly. the good thing i like about them is they never push me to have my car fixed, so they just print out a detailed quotation for me to think about. the only one thing i would love them to add in the oil change package is vacuuming. whenever i need vacuuming, i have to go somewhere else and I don’t like it!

Incredible service! Brought a quote that Car-​X had given me on work that I needed for my car and Midas did the same work for over $ 100 less!
Derrick, who I assume to be the manager is an example is customer service. Friendly in interaction, clear and succinct in explaining any work, and helpful in suggesting alternatives.
Overall a great shop and one that I’ll be returning to in the future!

I had what ended up being a super bizarre and drawn out saga of car trouble. However, the moral of the story is that these guys were great is keeping me in the loop with what was happening (with a problem that was in no way their fault) and really reasonable in how much they charged for the amount of time they spent diagnosing the problem and fixing it. I would definitely take my car back if it starts acting up!

I cannot recommend this place highly enough! In the past three years, Midas has provided reliable and personalized service for my seemingly problem-​prone car. For a car-​challenged person like myself, I have probably most appreciated their honesty and genuine concern for customers. Derek, Patrick, and the entire team have offered recommendations without any pressure to make a decision, and have actually declined service when my car didn’t need it. They seem to remember their regular customers by name (and car haha) and are all incredibly friendly to everyone. Not to mention that on several occasions, I have checked around and found them to be one of the most affordable and reasonable autoshops price-​wise.
Recently, I had an unfortunate personal situation where I could not pick up my car for close to two weeks, and the team at Midas drove my car into the bay each night before I finally managed to pick it up. This kind of personalized care really makes them stand out, and definitely add to the community and neighborly feeling in Champaign.

I’ve been there 3 times. Yes, they are friendly but overpriced. The first time my car needed new brakes. The second time I went there because my left front tire was making weird noise. They claimed they can’t hear anything. I came back 3 month later because the noise got louder and I was not the only one who could hear it. I told them to check the wheel bearing. The older guy made a stupid comment that woman hear things. Needless to say that I never went back. I got the bearing fixed at Meineke (highly recommended) in Urbana.

These guys were amazing! They were friendly and courteous, found the problem quickly, had the part in stock, fixed it for the quoted price, in less than the quoted time.
When a sudden thunderstorm stranded me in Target on foot while my car was being fixed they even called me to ask if I would like someone to drive over and pick me up in the rain (I did, and they did!)
I will definitely be going back the next time my car need some care!
