Their repair estimate for me was 40 percent higher than elsewheres. Diagnostic price was double that of major competitor. NTY.

Our battery stopped working on our way to Abbotsford, we took our car in and they helped fix it right away. They replaced the alternator and had it up and running by the time we went to the pumpkin patch & came back. They even gave us a loaner free of charge. Very helpful and friendly staff. Will definitely go back if we need service in Abbotsford. read more

Went in there with my 2015 Toyota Corolla and had a code for P0741, I had a feeling my TCC solenoid needs replacing, said the transmission fluid was over filled and I needed new fluid when I just had a shop do my transmission fluid, maybe they over filled it sure, but new fluid? I then said sure empty it and they said "if the code comes back on then come back here" and so I did and they said that I needed a new transmission and that there's shavings in the transmission pan, never presented me it with any evidence and was later told that it should've been mentioned the first time I went there but it was never on the first invoice. They said they'd try and help me out and find a cheap transmission for me, was told it was $6700 plus labour. I called up another shop and they found one for $3500 plus labour. I then tried to leave that day because I didn't want to do business with them any longer and then my transmission felt like it was dying, they messed with something that was to do with my transmission, originally when I came there it felt fine other than code. I instantly parked it back in there shop and was upset and we had an hour long conversation with the run around on why my transmission is destroyed. I then called them a few days later after leaving my car there because I didn't want to drive it in that condition. I go to pick it up and my cars in the shop on a lift? Why is it on a lift, I told them I'm don't with there business. I go for a test drive and it feels the same way when I came in there, they purposely messed with my transmission and fixed it back to the way it was knowing I was going to the next shop and they would be caught doing what ever they did, wanted to cover their own ass and make sure the next person couldn't tell that they were purposely trying to scam me. read more

These guys scammed my friend out of good service and a transmission. You're wasting your money, time and sanity with these guys. Do yourself a favor and go to a different shop read more

We scheduled a vehicle inspection for a vehicle we were considering buyin. They fit us in quickly and did a thorough inspection and even walked us through step by step. I am very glad that we took it there. They saved us from a what would have been a horrible and unsafe purchase. I would recommend going here. read more

My wife takes her 2006 Camry in to them because there's a leak in the flex pipe which is about 10" in length. They try and tell her the entire exhaust system needs replacing including the catalytic converter...their estimate is in excess of $2k. So being the prudent girl that she is, she wisely calls me while I'm work and explains. So I come down there and the sales person tries to show why they think the entire exhaust needs replacing, but what he doesn't realize is that I know a few things and am not as gullible as my sweeties is to these sharks. So I tell him that we'll take the car and get it looked at by another exhaust company. Suddenly as we're heading outside he follows us out and says that they could replace just the flex pipe for $500.00 but that there'd be no warranty on their work. So I take the car to Budget Brake and Muffler and they replace the flex pipe for $375.00 all in...the car purrs nice and quiet. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT USE MIDAS IN ABBOTSFORD. read more

My catalytic converter was stolen from my vehicle at the beginning of July from the Abbotsford Airport parking lot. I contacted the shop to see if they could do the work, and to ask if they would direct bill to ICBC. The shop owner Margaret, assured me that I could bring the car in, and that they would direct bill the work to ICBC. I was given a quote of $1000, and a timeline of ten days. Magaret told me that they would not do any work on the car until an adjuster from ICBC came to take pictures, and that is why it would take some time to complete. I left the car there in good faith. Fast forward to two weeks later, I have not heard from the shop at all, so I gave them a call. Margaret says that yes, the work has been done "for ages" and that I should come and get the car. When I asked for a total owing, she told me $1455. When I asked her why it was so much, and did she not direct bill to ICBC as promised, she exclaimed that no, they don't do that, because it takes ICBC so long to reimburse them, I would have to submit the receipts myself. I went to pick up the car, and paid the bill, because, what else could I do. When I submitted the invoice to ICBC, the adjuster called me immediately to ask if I had photos of the catalytic converter, before and after the work, as that is required to put the claim through. I called Margaret. Now, she claims that she never said that ICBC would come and do the photos before the work was done, and that the mechanic who worked on my car must have them. She said she would call me back. She never did. So I called her again, and now she claims that the mechanic who did the work is on vacation, but he must have them on his phone. She said she would contact him and get the photos. A few days pass, and I still hear nothing from her. There were a few more calls, where Margaret says she is going to find the photos, but I have to wait until this mechanic is back from holidays. On Monday, when he is supposed to be back at work, I call again, and now Margaret says that ICBC MUST already have the photos, because they ALWAYS send them. So here I am....still waiting for photos that I do not believe were ever taken. Margaret has outright lied to me multiple times, and I am out $1455 because ICBC won't process the claim without them. Either the owner of this shop is dishonest, or she is completely incompetent. Either way, I don't recommend giving them your business. They can't be trusted. read more

Margaret the owner booked my appointment and greeted me when I arrived for a oil change. The mechanic checked my battery and it had hardly any charge left as the diagnostic showed. I was asked first if I wanted the battery replaced. Also my car was taken in minutes after arrived. Margaret has owned the business for 45 years ...now that's someone worth supporting. I will definitely go back read more

Excellent people, very friendly and experienced staff. I was attended by the owner and she was very honest about the problem with my car, there was nothing wrong with it. It was just a break pad that got jammed. They did an easy 5 min fix and the owner refused to charge me a penny. Even to leave a small tip for the mechanic. I will recommend this shop if you have any emergency. Their staff will answer the phone and provide you tips for help whenever you need it. read more

So I went to Midas to get my break done, two weeks later I went to put new rims on and come to realize that these idiots didn't even put my calliper back together, I've been driving for two weeks and had to do manual to get my calliper back on. They lost one of the bolts for the calliper so i had to go searching for the right bolt. Went back and told them about it. They said I took a picture of another car. Fucking idiots. Ive read a lot of bad reviews, I'm a videographer I'll be making a video about this unprofessional work. HEY MIDAS, LOOK FOR YOUR VIDEO ON YOUTUBE AND ABBOTSFORD CAR GROUPS IN A FEW DAYS. I HOPE YOU LOSE YOUR BUSINESS AND I WILL BE CONTACTING CORPORATIONS AND ETC TO GET MY MONEY BACK. WE'LL BE CONNECTING SOON:) read more

We wanted to say about the terrible service we had from Midas Abbotsford. We went there due to an oil pressure light, which turned out to be a faulty sensor. What we were originally told would take 3 hours at a cost of approx $536 ended in a bill for $992 and our car returned three days later. The final invoice did not detail what part was used, the hours spent or the hourly rate. It just said 'other repairs' and the cost of the part and labour. Our biggest complaints were: * The lack of communication as to what was happening, nor any request for authorization to continue when they found out they had to do more work than expected, until after they had already put in extra billing hours and car had been taken apart. Car not put back together until day 3. * Promises to return the vehicle that were not kept e.g., originally told to pick up the vehicle at end of 1st day, only to be told that car would not be ready until the next day, then found out later on 2nd day that mechanic was not working that day, then told it would be ready at lunchtime on 3rd day, only to be told it was not ready and to collect it mid afternoon. * Mechanic said they had to re-tap as lost threading despite car having done only 22,000 km * Mechanic forgot he wasn't working on 2nd day and repairer did not allow other mechanics to work on the vehicle * When calling to make a complaint, the call was cut short as had another customer to serve. This is why people don't trust car repairers and I would never go to Midas again. read more

So we dropped off our RV at Midas in Abbotsford to get serviced. Worst decision ever. After waiting for it to be done (long after when it was supposed to be done) we finally go pick it up. AFTER paying, we take a look inside and see's that it's COMPLETELY RANSACKED. It looks as though people were partying inside, having sex, doing drugs, destroying the walls, etc... Stuff was stolen from it. A mess. They didn't say ANYTHING about this ever until after "the work" was paid for. They were like, "Oh ya, it was broken into."... It wasn't just broken into, it was ruined. But ya, thanks for letting us know? Not only did that happen, but THEY DIDN'T EVEN DO THE PROPER WORK THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO!! There was work botched and they oh so kindly offered to do a weld fix for free During the weld too, he ruined the battery by doing it wrong and the RV ended up dying on the way back. I don't think I've ever done a post like this before, but I can't even begin to describe how much I would NOT recommend this place. We worked so hard to reno that RV and they just completely disrespected that. My god. What a terrible business. read more

Stereotypical dishonest repair shop. These guys told me that my snow tires were warn out and that I needed to buy new tires. So I did. A week later I got a voice mail from the lady at the front desk telling me I had 30% tread left on the tires that I had left with them and asking if I wanted them back. When I called back and asked why they made me buy new tires she changed her story again. Said the tires were "expired". Find a different repair shop, these guys aren't even smart enough to keep their lies straight. read more

Not recommended. Business values are trash and they don't even do the work you've paid them to do. Left with 20x more problems then the initial reason I showed up with. They need to re-evaluate what kind of business they're running because their "work" & customers service is complete garbage! read more

Took my truck to have brakes done because I was hearing a squeal. Turns out it was two more serious and urgent issues with U joint and wheel bearing. Which the mechanic was still able to fix right away and for a quite reasonable cost. I feel that this is an honest and competent shop that is prompt and clear in in communication. My vehicle is safe to drive now and that peace of mind is worth 5 read more

I am big on customer service and am very particular about where I spend my money, and base it on the service I receive. I first went into the Abbotsford Midas in 2015 to inquire about brakes. Jason took a look at our vehicle, removed all the tires and inspected the brakes. He said we did not need brakes and they just had some dust build up which he cleaned out. The brakes were feeling good again. Then in April 2016, I returned to have the brakes looked at as I would be doing a lot of driving over the summer. Jason again inspected the brakes and said we definitely had enough brakes to safely travel where we would be and to come back and see him perhaps in the Fall. We were good. So twice he saved us money. This week I went again into Midas Abbotsford and now I needed new tires and brakes and thought perhaps I needed a tune up. So, we booked the vehicle in for brakes and tires and instead of doing a tune up, Jason provided suggestions to see if we really needed a tune up or if the vehicle running rough could be solved with less expensive means. Again, he took the level of customer service to a new level. I can say without a doubt, that the experience I have continually received from Jason and the Midas Abbotsford team has been amazing. Their honesty and integrity has been valued and appreciated. We will continue to bring our vehicle there. The new tires and brakes are awesome! THANKS Midas Abbotsford! read more

During a routine oil change, they broke the wheel well on my driver side. When I spoke to them about it, they claimed that there was nothing wrong with the car. I took the vehicle to another garage and had my vehicle fixed. If you love your car at all, do NOT take it here! read more

Scheduled an appointment online. Got the confirmation that said I'd be contacted within an hour. Two hours later I talk to a guy who says "Yikes, we don't like this system. Sometimes we don't check our email for days." That's all I needed to hear. read more

Just writing to let others know of the good customer service experience I had at Midas Abbotsford. I had issues with a coolant leak that had gotten pretty bad. I didn't realize how busy they were until observing it when waiting for the fix to be completed. They weren't going to let me leave with the issue I had and really worked to fit me in. They also worked with me to find the best option that I could afford. While waiting I saw may interactions with people, especially elderly, where the worker did his best to explain things in a way that were understandable so that people would be able make a more educated decision on whether a service was needed. I was very impressed at the professionalism that I saw. read more

Took my car in for a regular check up. Very resonable winter package. I thought that I for sure needed front breaks as i was told that i needed them 6 months ago, however they told me that it was unnecessary to replace quite yet. Family owned and ran business. I finally found a place I trust my car! read more
