It's less than five minutes from my house and, as other yelp…read morereviewers have noted, when the crew is at their best you really do feel taken care of but some teams are better at making you feel this way than others. Part of what Oil Changers proposes to offer is to check all fluid levels and to top off, to check brake lights, belts, signals, head lights and air filter, to clean the windshield and check tire air pressure. This is exactly what my old mechanic used to do before he retired. Too often, though, they skip many or all of these tasks. I could understand that this might happen if they were super busy but it often happens when they're slow. More importantly, when you get your invoice, these items are checked off as if they've been performed when they have not. Honestly, this does not give me the feeling of being well taken care of but leaves a taste of deception in my mouth even if the basic task of changing the oil and filter has been performed correctly. I leave wondering what else might have been missed through inattention. I have no problem in general with the folks that work there, they're always welcoming and friendly. If it's too much to ask of them to do these basic safety and maintenance checks maybe it shouldn't be asked of them and maybe it shouldn't be printed out on the bill that these tasks are required and have been performed. I really hope this is something that can be addressed.

    Love these Guys and their " Old Fashioned INTEGRITY " !!!…read more My Accord Battery is only 14 - 18 months old. However it died unexpectedly @ a ' ' Refueling Stop ' in Berkeley @ the GAS STATION on Shattuck @ Ashby. Luckily they have a Mechanic Shop in there, and the fellow in there obliged me with a " Jump Start ". Mysterious why it had died suddenly then was ' back up ' Performing Beautifully !!!! Despite which I needed a Battery & Alternator Check to Satisfy Myself Fully that All is Well. Called Mr. Hamza @ Yen's Auto to explain the situation. He suggested I bring it in ASAP for a " Charging System Check " - which I did the same day about 4 weeks ago. Him and his Assistant Mr. AFSAND , who I'd dealt with previously , had me pop the hood to connect their Meter Etc giving my Charging System ' A CLEAN BILL Of Health. Nice to have " Honest Mechanics in the Vicinity " !!!!!!

    1 star only...because 0 isn't an option…read more I booked an 11:00 a.m. appointment for an oil change in advance. I wasn't a walk-in. When I dropped off my car, I was told it would be ready around 12:30-1:00 p.m. and that I'd receive a call when it was done. I decided to stick around the area. At 1:00 p.m., after waiting two hours, I walked back to check on the status and found that they hadn't even started working on my car. When I told them I was leaving, the employee suddenly asked if I could wait another 10-15 minutes because he could "start it now". So frustrating. My scheduled appointment meant absolutely nothing until I complained and I was not interested in a rushed oil change... If your business can't honor appointment times, don't offer appointments. Respect your customers' time. I would not recommend taking your business here. I certainly won't be back.

    I routinely get my Oil Change on my Older 2006 Accord EX @ Jiffy Lube on University Avene near…read more10th. St. in Berkeley where I've always found the Staff to be Very Polite & Professional. Plus - they had an online Coupon for $ 12.00 this time to round it down from their new higher price of maybe $ 72'ish. However - MIDAS seemed to Advertise a Great $ 39.99 Deal Online. Upon Googling the ,' Nearest Location to Albany ' - I found a Store in El Cerrito near to Central Avenue on San Pablo Avenue about 3 weeks Ago. Mr. Paul , the Store Manager, was Polite on the Fone - Informing me that he could handle my request the same day if I reached there within about 30 minutes which I did. Upon arriving- I was greeted by Mr. Mirani who seemed an old hand @ the Trade having owned a Midas Store himself in the Past. S..o..o I decided to sign ' The Work Order '. I may've reached the store around 1:30 - 2p.m.'ish. Was informed there would be a wait as they had other vehicles ahead of me. I had only had 1700 miles since my last change around 04/25, but Of Course most Shops I've talked with Inform me that there is yet another ' consideration ' involved ' which is ' Oil Viscosity Breakdown ,' from Car sitting in Park Mode !!! As it's an Older Vehicle I toil hard to maintain - I will usually bring it in for an Oil Change as soon as the 15% Oil Life lamp on the Dash lights up. Since it was my first visit for an Oil Change - I asked the Staff present what brand and weight of Oil they use. To my ,"" UTTER SHOCK & Chagrin," the STORE MGR., Mr. PAUL retorted : " @ the Price you are paying it shouldn't matter !!! To this comment I retorted : " I shall remember that " !!! The above " Unprofessional'ism " put a " Bad Taste in my Mouth " !!! That comment was Unexpected & Uncalled For - Especially as the same Indovidual had been Very Polite & Professional thus far. In fact about a week prior - I had called as ' An Acquaintance ' stated her Muffler needed Replacement, and Mr. Paul had offered a hassle free ' Fone Quotation ' !!!! Whilst there , a Shop Hand ' had approached me to know where my wheel lock key was placed in the Car that indicated to me that a Tire Rotation might be Included with the Oil Change. S..o..o the next time I saw the Store Manager , Mr. Paul , in the Front Office where I was offered to wait on the Couch. He confirmed that ' Yes it is '. I shared I'd gotten my Newer TIRES quite Recently from San Pablo Tire & Wheel on 23rd. St. quite recently. Mr. Paul ,: " Oh U mean ' One Of those Places ' - whatever that means !!! Been goin' there forever, and the New as well as past owners have always been Very Honest & Reliable for me sans " SARCASTIC Comments " !!!! I had Good Luck @ a MIDAS Store in Sunnyvale on El Camino Avenue during Covid - 19 on July 4th. 2020 whilst attending a Wedding in Santa Clara. I remember they'd worked on my Brakes & Struts since I'd found the Ride ' A tad Bumpy ' !!!! The Owner-Operator was Awesome applying various Coupon Specials and Driving me to Grab some Lunch as Promised. I'd like to be able to Return to My Neighborhood MDAS due to Nice Promktuonal Rates, but DO HESITATE !!!!

    My parents and I have been coming here for years. I haven't had to come really with my new car…read moresince 2017 it has been running really well. Midas and Paul have always been very honest and upfront. I knew I needed new brakes pads and that my cabin filters were due for changing. I only mentioned the brakes because those were squeaking and were a constant reminder that they were due. Once they took a look at my car they called me at the time they said they would to tell me what my car needed. Front and rear brakes and cabin and engine filters. They gave me a time my car would be ready and it was ready to go right on time! They even saved the filters to show me how filthy they were! (One had leaves in it!) For parts and labor it was $930 but I have always appreciated the great customer service and honesty here. Also, they quickly fixed my glove compartment that no longer had any resistance to it and was falling after the filter cleaning. Took 5 seconds to reclip what they missed. Thank you Paul and Midas!

My initial complaint was they lost 2 of my valve stem caps and replaced them with others that they lost at their shop. It was a minor complaint so I didn't make a fuss about it. Fast forward to today, I had to bring my car to a shop for front bumper work. They had to remove the front wheels in order to remove the bumper. This shop informed me that the 5 lug nuts on my front wheels were tightened to 200+ ft/lbs, more than DOUBLE what they are supposed to be torqued to. My wheels haven't been removed since I got my new tires 9 or 10 months prior. I feared all 4 tires were the same. When I returned home, I struggled for 2 hours trying to get my back wheels off. Each lug nut was insanely over torqued like the front. I figured I would just rotate my tires at this point so I ended up removing all 4 and inspected them. I found gashes in the barrel of all 4 of my rims, all equally spaced apart. This means Best American Tire damaged them when either mounting the tires or balancing them. You can see the damage in the pictures provided. I'm very lucky something didn't happen to me on the road these past 9 months. Needless to say, I will never bring my car here again. Hopefully this review will keep others from making the same mistake.
