Midas

My car ran perfectly when I took it there. I had just gotten an oil change from a different shop but I kept hearing a grinding noise coming from my tire. Took it to them and before I knew it I was presented with a $ 3600 bill. Tire, shocks, brakes and rotors. KNow that I needed work before the winter I payed to have this done.
Drove out of the place the same day and the grinding noise was still there. Took it back to them and was told that it was a $ 175.00 ball bearing job that would remedy the problem.
THE WORST PART IS a few days later I get a low oil reading on my dash board. Pulled over to check my oil and IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. Bone dry ??? For a toyota Camray that ran perfectly now I looking at serious problems with my engine.
I truly believe that they sabotaged me to get a sucker that would pay them back into their shop.
DO NOT GO THEIR !!

Cut-throat…scammers. You take your car in for oil change & they end up scarring you that the engine needs replacement… what a rip-$ff

Tom and the team provided me with exceptional service. Prior to my arrival, Tom made sure my specific tire was in stock. Upon arrival, just before closing time, they changed my tire, jumped my battery and were very friendly and professional. The cost of the service was very reasonable. Thank you to Tom and his crew.

Two words: THEY SUCK! They’re also crooks. I needed brake work done so I called them to get an estimate. My first tip off should’ve been when he wouldn’t give me an estimate via telephone but I took my car in anyway. I knew I only needed rear brakes because I’d previously gotten an inspection at the dealership but thought they’d offer a cheaper price. Jesse, whom I’d spoke with, assured me that they’d inspect it and that he’d get back to me with what the problem was. I continually told him that it was the rear brakes but he continued to over talk me. Eventually Jesse called me and quoted me a price of almost $ 900 FOR BRAKES on an American made regular car. Not a luxury car. When I refused he said he’d work with me on the price however he still didn’t go much lower. He continued to tell me how dangerous my car was and that I should let him do the work. When I continuously refused he stated that he’d take a partial payment today and I could write him a post dated check which he wouldn’t cash until the next week. I told him it wasn’t that I didn’t have it but I’d never pay $ 900 for brakes and wasn’t sure if that check kiting scheme was even legal. At this point I was leery of his shady business practices and wanted to retrieve my car ASAP. I went to get my car and Jesse tried to charge me $ 50 for a diagnostic test since I’d refused the work. I didn’t pay and furthermore took my car to the Midas on Roosevelt and they did the same work for $ 400. The Midas on Stoney is not Midas. They’re an independent franchise and the owner is a crook. I shudder to think about the people they’ve hoodwinked into paying astronomical prices for minimal work. I’m going to report them to the better business bureau.

Service date was 8÷18÷12. I went in for rotors, brakes, spark plugs, and struts. By saving me money on my struts (showing me I didn’t need to replace them), they thought they could up-​sell me with a brake hose and other services. NO! Then they told me they were putting on new rotors. The rotors they put on were worst then the ones they took off. I don’t know much about cars, so I didn’t know they put old rotors in at the time. After driving one day, the rotors were warped, the steering wheel shook when braking, and my stopping power diminished. I was moving out of town and couldn’t bring the car back in. I took it to another Midas near my new residence, they said they couldn’t see anything wrong with the car. I took it into the dealership. That’s when I was told the rotors were old and warped. I had to pay Toyota for service I already paid Midas to perform. Bad business Midas!

The manage here never tries to upsell you and Cliff the technician is really top notch. Definitely coming back.

The car works fine after the repair. That’s not the problem.
Interesting how easy it was to talk the price down $ 371.00.
Much b** s*** was given for the original price — until I said I’d get a quote elsewhere. Then the magic happened.
The good ol boy who directed this farce only added to my annoyance with his «aw shucks» attitude.
Bottom line, no one should have to work hard at making sure the price is reasonable. It should be an honest reflection of the work needed.

Go for simple stuff like oil change, flushes, etc. I made the mistake of going because my car continuously shut off and check engine light came on. After diagnostic test and 435 bill, it died on me in the middle of 290. Towed it to the shop and Bob assured me it would be resolved.
Car returned and died an hour later after driving from shop. Took car again (i know at this point, shame on me), but I was being optimistic. Didn’t die out until the next day… hey that’s a start and luckily i was one block from house. Called customer number, they assured me Bob and his boys «do excellent work, if you had said any other shop I would have questioned it, give them another chance.» :~
Left car all day, it died and has continuously died randomly while i drive it. Check engine light still on and I am out 435. They don’t back or guarantee their work. Avoid and take to real mechanics.

My exhaust pipe became disconnected between my muffler and catalytic converter. Midas quoted me $ 564!!! Even after I asked if they could just weld them together, they said no and that I would need to replace the muffler even though they said that the muffler was fine. I took it to Velasquez muffler a couple blocks away, and they repaired it for $ 30. Dont go here — they will rip you off!

This Midas was recommended to me after I let a «mechanic» work on my car and he did more harm than good.
Anyway, the mechanics are very professional and courteous.
