I called, and they said it was impossible the two could be related, and did not offer to cure it. They told me to tow it back, on my dime, to sell me a repair or replacement. I later called again and explained that I took it elsewhere where they told me that the valve stem had been damaged. He asked "why did you take it somewhere else?" then "have a good day sir" and hung up on me. This issue required me to walk one mile to my home late at night in February, another mile up hill the following day, cost for tow, and the cost for an extra repair.

I'm one of those women who thinks every mechanic is out to get me, and I was especially skittish when we first brought the car in but hoped I'd feel better with a woman-owned shop. Our previous mechanic had failed to diagnose a problem that resulted in completely destroyed brakes in January and a $1500 bill. Diane's got our car back on the road in no time, consistently keeping us updated as they had to adjust the project. Two years and lots of Ithaca hills later, Diane's has fixed the brakes twice. First they replaced a faulty part for free, and then just this week they replaced the rotors and pads at a labor discount. Their service has been consistent (they even text, which makes managing this so much easier during a busy work day!) and Diane herself took the time to explain to me why our brakes needed work (again). I'm grateful to finally find a shop I can trust!

UPDATE, 2 days later: Mavis/Cole contacted me based on this review, and my husband was separately contacted after giving severe feedback in the customer satisfaction survey he got after this service. Mavis/Cole has reimbursed us for the full cost of the PSF replacement. The store and regional manager apologized for this happening and agreed it should not have been done. (I pointed out that I have a Mavis/Cole receipt from a couple years ago showing that they recommended changing the PSF just 6,000 miles after it had been done at the dealership, when obviously it was not needed--so I think this is an ongoing issue.

Do NOT go here. I should have taken the failed inspection and went elsewhere. They claimed it would be more cost effective to change the brakes at the same time. Then they charged above market rate for poor service. My headlight was OUT and they never even checked it during the inspection. They charged me for 2+ labor hours when it took about an hour and there was truly only one guy working on my car. They "drained" the brake fluid for at least a half hour and no one was even working on it during that time. Yet they charged me nearly for a full 2 hours for this service. I had to go to another garage just to check if they messed up my car in the process. Lo and behold, my brake fluid reservoir was more than half empty. I shouldn't have to go to another garage to get the job done. SKIP Midas if you value your time and money.

I brought my vehicle (Mazda CX-5) to Varna Auto because the brake warning light was on and I was…read moreunable to disengage the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB). After diagnosing the car, they told me both rear EPB actuators and calipers needed to be replaced. I approved the repair and paid $1,124. They later called and said the car was fully fixed and ready for pickup. However, when I arrived, the brake warning light was still on and the EPB was still not functioning properly. I immediately informed them. The next day, they re-examined the vehicle and told me the parking brake control module had lost communication and that they could not fix the issue. They referred me to a Mazda dealership for further repairs. In other words, after charging me over $1,100, the original problem remained unresolved. When the vehicle was returned to me, the brake fluid reservoir cap was missing. The reservoir had been temporarily covered with plastic, and I had to return the following day to obtain a replacement cap. This raised serious concerns about the level of care taken during the repair. I spoke directly with the owner, William Chen, who has been very unprofessional and dishonest throughout the process, about my concerns. During our phone conversation, I explained that I was disappointed and did not want to keep parts that did not resolve the issue. He initially stated that he could return the aftermarket parts (though not the OEM actuators). However, after speaking with someone else at the shop, he changed his position and said he would not return the parts or issue a refund. Overall, I paid for a repair that did not fix the problem and was then told to take the car elsewhere. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this shop.
