Midas

Stay Away! This is a typical chain auto repair/​service scam… Go in for a $ 19.99 oil change and I guarantee they will find something else that needs to be replaced. They are not cheap! Stay Away! Better off at Walker’s. They may be incompetent also. Went in for a minor repair, their diagnostic said it called for new engine!!! Really? Took it to Walkers, replaced plugs and it is running great, stronger than before. New engine??? Owner and manager seem nice. Not sure about competence of so called mechanics. Very overpriced on their labor/hours…Go to Walkers! Americas tire for tires, jiffy lube for oil changes etc. STAY AWAY! You’ve been warned!

I know, you are thinking, a Midas shop… Really? But remember, these are franchises, and they are as unique as their owners.
In this case, I was a little torn between 4 and 5 stars, but as I reflected on my last two services, I have to go with 5 stars. Gary, the proprietor is very genuine and helpful. He sets the tone for the shop that is all about quality and honesty. Mike is the guy you often find at the counter, setting up and estimating orders, he too, is very straightforward and knowledgable.
I was concerned that my 2001 lifted 4wd F250 may need some expensive suspension work costing between $ 900 and $ 1,800. Gary said I should do and inspection first, for $ 29. Two hours later, he called and said the track bar was loose, so they tightened it up and everything else was fine. So I my suspension issue was resolved for $ 29.
I asked for a front-​end alignment and wheel balancing, but Gary suggested it would not help much and if I was getting tire soon, that would be the way to go, and then get the alignment.
I bought tires on the web and brought them in. I also asked to have my headlight bulbs replaced with high intensity bulbs. The cost was very reasonable, and in fact, less than the estimate, and the work was done very well.
It is hard to find someone you can trust to be honest or competent, let alone both. So next time you need some work, I would suggest giving this shop a try. I bet you will be pleased. I certainly am!

These guys are so far overpriced it’s not even funny they always quote me at least 3 times more then any other shop. Save yourself the trouble and don’t deal with these overcharging fools

Brought a car in today (Black Friday) mostly because they were open. I hate finding new shops. I was pleasantly surprised. It needed a wheel bearing. When they got into it they discovered the hub had been damaged also. My daughter drove it a looong time before mentioning it was making noise.
Price wise I am not sure compared to other independent shops (who all seemed to be closed) but they were half the dealer quote. Friendly, helpful staff. Would use them again. I am happy with this Midas.

Garbage… Absolute garbage. They deserve their piss poor reputation. Hey Midas, instead of writing defenses to your bad reviews, here’s a thought… Don’t allow for schlock services. Get a quality control expert. Or even try halfway. People should avoid you like the plague. I had heard about your terrible reputation, but I figured how badly can you screw up an alignment? Shame on me for not heeding the advice of others. But you seem to be a hit with old ladies who don’t know what they’re doing and what you’ve done to their cars! You get one star only because I cannot post without one…

I took my 2008 impala there because I thought it was a problem with it turns out there was nothing wrong with it Mike helped he had wonderful customer service thanks mike take ur car there If u need anything fixed they will take care of you!!!

I called them to see about a pre buy car inspection from down the street, they helped me get an appointment the next day. Mike took the call and helped me the next day. He was friendly and professional. He checked the car, giving me piece of mind and sent me on way. I recommend this Midas if you are in the area.

With Midas, or any other chain, it is always going to cost more and you will almost certainly need other work done than what you brought the vehicle in for (remember: they, even as a franchise, have sales quotas that they MUST meet from Corporate.
With that said, they quoted me around $ 90 per axle less for a complete brake job than their closest competitor; they were even $ 30 less than another Midas shop.
The service was done in the time quoted and for the revised quote (after inspection). I’m as satisfied as I can be with rates of over $ 100 /​he for repairs.

I was very impressed with my experience at Midas. Mike found a part for me that I had been waiting for from another business for a month in a half. Within three days, it was installed. Their whole staff was very professional and punctual. Thank you Mike for a great experience :)

This place is a RIP OFF. I went here because my car isn’t reading the temperature, I can’t tell if it’s getting hot or not, which is scary! I tested my car with one of those things that tells you what’s wrong with it, brought it in, and told them, they didn’t believe me, said they would check it themselves. They charged with me almost $ 100 to tell me EXACTLY WHAT I TOLD THEM! Then wanted to charge me almost $ 700 to replace things that work fine, they didn’t even acknowledge the real problem. Also the woman who works at the counter does not listen when you talk to her and the older man, is very rude. I will not go back.

Came in to get my brakes done; the staff is friendly and honest, let me know the brakes were not metal-​on-​metal yet, showed me exactly how worn down they were and didn’t try to sell me on repairing the rotors (which obviously wasn’t necessary). They also replaced my air filter and gave me a discount on my brake job. I’m sure I’ll be back for my next oil change.

Went in for a brake job and an oil change, Nicole and the manager (Mike) were amazing!!! Super friendly and courteous, they knew I was waiting and had everything done in like an hour. Great prices too. I’d definitely go again!

This Midas is under new ownership. I’m not sure when Carl took over but, the problems that were reported a few years back no longer exist. Unfortunately I’ve had several problems with my vehicle lately and Carl has been very fair with me. Everyone in the shop is friendly and so far it appears that the work is first class. Give these guys a shot.

Came in to get my tires fixed. They quoted $ 80 less than down the street for comparable tires. I had to wait my turn so the entire thing took three hours. I’m a patient guy so I read a few magazines and had a good time chatting with the owner. The product and service were exactly what I paid for.
While there I witnessed quite a few customers come in for quotes and asking if they could skip the repair (on critical part failures no less) and just get a bandaid to keep it going for a few more months. This might be the source of a few bad reviews because they firmly let the customers know that was a piss-​poor solution. If a car is about to fall apart you’re an asshole for taking it out on the highway day after day potentially risking yourself and everyone else out there just to postpone a repair bill. Sure it sucks to spend money like that but that’s part of owning a car. I watched far too many people walk in like this and I appreciated their no-​nonsense approach to it.
On the other end a few repeat customers came in with minor issues which they fixed in under five minutes and didn’t charge them a thing. That’s the kind of respect for a repeat customer that keeps their loyalty and shows that they’re more concerned with the customer than every nickel and dime.

This review is actually for the Midas on Mc Henry down by Five Points (that one didnt pop up in the search). Anyway, Ive been coming here for a while now and I always get great service. The staff there seems to always be different every time I go, but whoever is helping me is usually very courteous and helpful. I only go there for oil changes and when they do one, they check out your car and tell you everything that is wrong or going to be a problem in the future. They tell you what’s wrong and aren’t too pushy about it. They don’t seem to care if you dismiss their recommendations to spend more money on their other services and I like that.

I was out of town and my parents needed immediate help with their car and quick. They took it to this place for a diagnostic and a quote. Without any real detail they were told it would cost from $ 350 – 450 to fix if they decided to have the work done. My dad feeling he was being taken for a ride got a second opinion down the road. The car needed to tune up. A tune-​up for a 4 cylinder car costs $ 350 – 450???
The shop they found charged them $ 150 total.
This kind of treatment isn’t just disrespectful but wrong on many levels. Being in the auto industry for many years I saw some absolutely horrible things and most of them were from used car dealers. This place is the equivalent of a used car garage.
Take my advice and stay away!

For a chain repair shop, the service here was great. The staff was super friendly and they were very professional with my repairs. They let me know what was recommended, and what I didn’t need to repair as well as gave me a discount on the overall services. Would definitely recommend.

Was referred to Midas on McHenry by Phil Burch at America’s Tire Co. in Modesto. Took my 98 Tahoe to have it aligned after new tie-​rod ends and tire rotation. The guys at Midas were very nice and helpful. I was told that I needed to trim the length of one of the tie-​rods and then bring it back so they could align it properly. I did so and returned a few days later and dropped off the vehicle for the day. The owner showed me later that day that he was unable to align my vehicle due to a ton of play in the front end. I also needed to replace my upper ball joints. He recommended I replace my lift or take it off. He took the time to put the truck on the lift and show me the front end movement. All of this time, effort and hard work and he didn’t charge me.
I am quite impressed with the service, honesty and extra effort this location put in for me. Feel confident that you will be well take care of if you need auto repairs.

I’m a fan!
Was recommended here by America’s Tire Co. for an alignment service.
I was very skeptical, due to their reputation among my family and friends for being over-​priced, with bad service, and bad quality of work performed. The reviews here added to my skepticism.
Upon arriving, I was immediately greeted by a tech who patiently listened to my car issue. The manager took over, and the tech took my car for a test drive.
As I had expected, my rotors needed resurfacing — in addition to an alignment.
Cost of alignment $ 59.99 (including $ 10.00 discount as a referral from America’s Tire Co.)
In in 15 years I’ve owned vehicles — I have had 12 different cars, and have had alignments performed at least once a year. This is the first shop I have ever been to for an alignment that provided me with an actual print out of the specs of my alignment — and gave me at 12 month warranty. Even Acura of Seattle doesn’t do that!
I opted not to have my rotors replaced & resurfaced, as I plan on upgrading from this car — but I can highly recommend the team at Midas in Modesto.
Ps. Free wi-​fi in lobby, with waiting lounge.

Don’t think much of midas. There are much better places to have work done on your car. Cheaper and much more honest. I know that the previous owner is out of the business but some of the same employees are still there.
