Midas / SpeeDee Oil Change

Awesome, friendly, efficient, affordable service. After a frustrating auto emergency, it was really a welcomed surprise to arrive at the Midas in Waipahu and get this kind of service.
Highly recommended.

Amazing and speedy service founded on nurturing their client relationships and common sense. They continually exceed my expectation to deliver any service I came in for.
Example: I came in for an unscheduled safety check which usually isn’t a problem, typically taking 15 minutes. Unfortunately, it was a day when an entire fleet of vehicles was scheduled for safety checks/​maintenance. I anticipated it to be either a 2-​hr wait or «come back another day» response. However, they remembered who I was and thought it be best (for their operation and for my satisfaction) to sacrifice one technician for 15 minutes instead of me going somewhere else forever.
Can’t beat this kind of rare service these days.

Did my safety check few months ago. Very nice saturday staff. I needed a new battery for my car made an appt on line same day they replace my battery.
Mr Robert & Mr Casper did a great job! Thanks for such friendly service! Happy new year & keep up the great Aloha!!!

Came to do a safety check and had the best service! AC & TV in the waiting area. The inspectors been here 25 – 30 years so they know what to do and get you in and out. Less than 10 min. Awesome!

Came in last month to get an oil change done and today to get my safety done. Both super fast and the staff is great. I got ripped off at other places and seeing as I’m a girl some places can make you feel uncomfortable. Not at this Midas! All of the guys are awesome and the lady at the front desk (forgot her name, my bad) is very welcoming and easy to chat with. I will come here for everything now!

Great service all the time. Came in here to get my brakes checked and the mechanics are very helpful and always explain what needs to get done before doing it. Very busy on Saturdays unless you get here before 7. And even then it can take a while. Customer service is awesome and they make you feel like family everytime I’ve came in.

Always great service from here. My entire family comes here for all our car service needs.

Time of operations is from 7:00am to 5:00pm. My father goes there to change our car battery at 4:45 cause our car wouldn’t start but apparently what we were told is that they close at 4:00pm. Why would you put that you close at 5:00pm here on Unilocal,on your website, and in front of your door, if you told us that you close at 4:00pm? Bad business. We were stuck in Waipahu until we found a more reliable help. Screw this Midas company. No pity whatsoever, no help. We came all the way from Kapolei for nothing. And also their entrance door was still open. Bad business. Telling us to go even though it wasn’t even 5:00pm.

Chris in the office is so courteous and helpful. Excellent customer service and definitely would recommend.

I took my boyfriend here to drop off his truck for service and a tire rotation. When we went to pick it up, they had it parked on a steep hill with no e-​brake, when he started driving it, the brakes started grinding, and because I was following him out of the parking lot in my car, I was lucky enough to see a part fall out from under his truck. We immediately turned back around and took his truck back. We found the part that fell off in the middle of the road — a spacer, which they forgot to put back on (which was also smashed from being ran over by other cars), and when we told them what happened, they put the spacer back on, parked his truck by mine, and left — didn’t even fix the grinding noise he was experiencing when braking (which wasn’t there before). My boyfriend was pissed so we just left. Obviously we are never coming back here again.

I brought my car here this morning without an appointment to get my safety inspection done and within 30 minutes it was all done. I don’t think I’ve had a better experience with an auto repair shop than that since coming to Oahu two years ago. Also, the employees were very friendly.

Oil change and check the tires all done in 35 minutes. Friendly and professional service. I was surprised and I thought I would have to wait for over a hour which happens at other places I go for car services. Plus had a coupon in the mail for discount on the oil change. Now I can go out and about to finish my many things on the to do list.

The car shop where I normally go to (Capitol Auto) was full and doesn’t take walk-​ins. I needed an oil change quickly and needed to be able to walk-​in, so I decided to try this Midas location. Overall, this place gets more like 3.5 stars, but I’ll be nice and round up to 4.
I got there at a really good time, right before it got really busy. It took under half an hour for them to do my oil change, so I was pleasantly surprised. I only gave 4 stars out of 5, because the guy brought me outside to ask if I wanted the «regular» oil for $ 40 something, or the special oil for $ 90+. I’ve always gotten regular oil changes for my car, so I said I would just get the cheaper one. He agreed and didn’t pressure me after that, but when it came time to pay at the register, a different person told me my total was $ 96. I was very confused, as I had specifically said I wanted the cheaper oil change. He had to go back outside to talk to the other guy and clear up the price. I ended up paying the cheaper price, but still, it was a little annoying that they tried to charge me $ 50 more than what I agreed to.
The wait room is also pretty small and the chairs are really close together, but I did appreciate that they had wifi. It’s not a terrible place to go to, but I probably wouldn’t come back as I much prefer where I normally go for the same price and better service/​wait area.

Went here twice in two days to get safety inspections on both of my vehicles. I was definitely dreading this chore, anticipating long lines, slow service and the same hassles everyone always complains of. I pulled into a Goodyear shop across the street and waited for 5 minutes while one employee completely ignored me and read a magazine, the other spoke on the phone, and several others wandered in and it and deliberately avoided eye contact before walking out in frustration.
I pulled into Midas and was immediately greeted. The employee at the desk was friendly and helpful, then grabbed my keys to immediately pull my vehicle in the bay. I explained that my kids were watching their movie in the back of the van and that I needed to grab them and he said, «No need, they can just hang out in the back and keep watching while I do the inspection, it will only take a minute.» In exactly 16 minutes after I had pulled into the parking lot, I was pulling out of the lot with a shiny new sticker on my car, my kids still happily watching the Lego movie in the back.
On my second trip in, I had low expectations – I figured I had lucked into a slow moment the day before and expected to wait. However, I had a repeat of the same friendly, quick and professional service and once again, I was on my way with a new sticker in less than 20 minutes. I highly recommend this shop for a painless safety inspection experience.

Customer service sucks. Came hanging up on me, when i could get through. Not sure yhe business model that advocates not wanting business.

This review is mostly for the online service, my time is limited. I made an appointment online and they called me to confirm the appointment and said they would help me out. The morning of the appointment (7 – 9 am, arrived just after 7am) I go in and they said they don’t do it.
I’m just kind of mad that they told me to come in and tell me no. What’s the point of telling me to come in and then telling me no? I would love for them to say no upfront. I don’t plan on coming here again nor would I support any Midas affiliated company, even though they seem like nice people. Again this review is not for the service because I got no service.
The fault is not all theirs because it is my fault for choosing them.
Have a good day everyone!

Just watch what they do to make sure they do all the checks. They have serviced my car for 178 000 miles.

I always come here to get my oil change. There fast, friendly, and do a great job on my car everytime. They also recommend if anything else needs to be done on your vehicle, unlike the Tony Autoplex where they say you need to do those recommendations with your oil change to have your car working properly. Here they give you an understanding of your car operations with explanations.
Just a great place to get an oil change!

I have to give this place only 4 stars for now (only because I haven’t been there myself). Anyway, my boyfriend took my car in to Midas in Waipahu and talked about what a great service they provided. He really wanted me to give them 5 stars, but that wouldn’t be fair since I haven’t taken my car in personally.
What was supposed to be an oil check, ended up being them checking my whole car. They noticed that I had sludge in my engine, my headlight was out, my right blinker was out, and that I had a nail in my right tire. They also vacuumed and cleaned my car after they inspected my car. Most places wouldn’t do a free car check and I’m glad they let my boyfriend know about my car’s issues so we can get them addressed quickly.
Can’t wait for the next visit so I can really see for myself what great service they provide. :)

Great Service.
I needed work done. I wanted it done now. These guys were close enough to me to give them a try. Wow, am I happy.
First, they open at 7am. This lets me get in there first thing, while also getting to work on time. I got there early so that I would be first in line. I was first, but they opened before 7am. They were there, there was work, they got to it! Thank you much!
I wanted something simple done, but for my ’69 Chevy. They checked, and could do it. Once they got a good look at it, they discovered that it was going to take a lot more then they thought to get the job done. They came out and told me that it was going to take twice as long, and cost $ 40 more then their listed price.
Once I gave them the go ahead, these guys dove into their work and got everything done with a smile.
Even though there were a ton of people there, every single customer got prompt, personal, attention.
TIP: It is PACKED first thing Monday morning. There was NO WAITING first thing Tuesday morning.
