We had our car towed to Midas on a Saturday afternoon after it broke down and everyone we worked with was so kind and went above and beyond to assist us and keep us updated on the status. Such a great team. Thank you to all. read more

Huge thanks to the team at Midas in Barstow. I was traveling through and had an urgent overheating/coolant issue. They squeezed me in the same day, quickly diagnosed the problem, and replaced hoses and related components that were causing coolant to spray/leak. They were professional, efficient, and clearly explained what they found and what needed to be done to get me safely back on the road. In a stressful situation far from home, their help made a big difference. I really appreciated their urgency, communication, and quality work. Highly recommend if you need honest, fast service in Barstow. read more

They did oil change on my car in July 2025. They treated me nicely and professionally. However, soon after I left this shop, I started hearing some ticking noise from underneath the car. When I arrived at the destination, I saw the splash shield dragging on the ground... Apparently they didn't tighten up when they finished oil change !!! It was already 7 pm and no repair shops were open. A couple of my friends came to fix it temporarily with some cable ties. As a result of Midas' poor service, I couldn't drive any more and had to cancel some activities with friends. Very, very disappointed and frustrated. read more

Car broke down on way home from Las Vegas. They diagnosed and repaired car in a shorter period than projected!!! Thank you!!!!!

Was on my way to Vegas from Los Angeles and my fluids were low, so Karina and the service advisor took really good care of me. I appreciate their thoughtfulness, empathy about my safety and me getting to Vegas without being stranded in the desert by my engine overheating. That store has a great team. **They genuinely care about your car needs and not how much is in your pocket or about making a profit** so next time you're on a road trip and you need car care don't hesitate to stop inThey'll take care of you like family‼ thank you so much team Midas of Barstow keep doing what you're doing to keep earning the awards and plaques in your office read more

Not recommended. This shop takes advantage of people in emergency situations. We had issues with our truck on the way to Vegas, and since they are affiliated with AAA, the tow truck brought our vehicle here. They charged $210 just for a diagnostic, which took them two days, only to come back with an overpriced estimate for a transmission diagnostic. When we declined their service and asked for a day to arrange transportation for our truck, they told us that if we refused their service, they would move the truck outside the shop, and we would be solely responsible for it. "Terrible" read more

their shop labor rate is over $275 an hour. don't go here. that's absolute highway robbery clown act. to add insult to injury, when they deliver their defective work they don't stand by it and no matter how polite your approach is you'll have to argue and debate with them to get them to fix it. quality of work ranges from defective to destructive read more

I've had several of my cars serviced at Midas and I have never had an issue. From a head gasket on my Charger, misfires on my Lexus and just this week a massive coolant leak on my Durango. They always keep me informed of every process the entire way. I definitely recommend Midas! read more

Absolutely Terrible Experience at MIDAS - Do NOT Trust Them With Your Vehicle I had an awful experience at MIDAS and feel compelled to share this in hopes of saving someone else the same headache--or worse. I brought my wife's Mercedes in for a simple service, which somehow turned into a 2.5-hour ordeal. That's already absurd for a basic job, but it only gets worse from there. The technician who worked on the car, Anthony Woods, decided to do a tire rotation--on a Mercedes that specifically should not have its tires rotated due to the size difference between the front and rear tires. Any technician with experience should absolutely know better. This is basic knowledge for someone who claims to be a professional working on multiple types of vehicles. When I left the shop, the car immediately started making a terrible noise--something I'd never heard before. Turns out, it was a direct result of that unnecessary and incorrect tire rotation. I had to turn right back around and bring it back in. To make things worse, instead of inspecting the car right away after they messed it up, I was told I had to wait for Anthony to finish his lunch. Are you serious? I was sitting there waiting for a technician to finish his sandwich before he could fix a mistake he made. Then, when we expressed how serious this issue was, another technician actually said, "it's not a big deal." Excuse me? It's a huge deal. God forbid my wife had brought her car in alone and didn't notice the issue when leaving. She could've driven off in a compromised vehicle and something seriously bad could've happened--to her, to the car, or both. Now, every time she accelerates, there's a ridiculous, loud squeaking noise that was NEVER there before. Her car is not the same as it was before coming into your shop--and not in a good way. Your mistake has left us with lasting issues. This entire experience was absolutely unacceptable, unprofessional, and dangerous. I need someone higher up to contact me immediately. You messed up my wife's car, ignored the urgency of the situation, and treated us like it was no big deal. Well, it IS a big deal--and I will not let this go until it's addressed properly. read more

Because of Midas' poor decisions for repairs, I incurred over $5k+ in additional expenses. Attempted to resolve issues but Midas avoided inquiries. Made unnecessary repairs, used WRONG parts, incomplete repairs, charged 4x cost ($1k+) for spark plugs, & faulty workmanship all leading to engine malfunction that otherwise not have happened. Unbeknownst to me at the time, Midas sent me away with persisting issue. I broke down on the freeway after leaving the shop. I initiated California BAR investigation with complete findings, sued in Barstow Superior Court, & judgement awarded in my favor. Midas still has failed to compensate the judgement. I would strongly advise considering other alternative options for your car repairs. read more

I broke down in Barstow at 5 am on a Saturday. I managed to get a tow to this Midas, and I waited in my car until they opened. They gave me a diagnostic for less than 100 bucks and were sympathetic when I said I'd just junk the car. They let me keep it in their lot while I went home and mailed them the pink slip. Basically it was a really bad time in my life and they were able to help me get everything together in a way that was really kind. read more

Taking advantage of people! Especially women. I have a warranty on my car to be fixed. They rejected the parts my warranty covered. My deductible 250 yet still charging me for parts and labor out of pocket over 1,000 what's the point paying a deductible if being charged for parts and labor!!! read more

DO NOT......... DO NOT GO HERE! Traveling back to NV from Havasu and had driveline issues. The mechanics here put me back on the road after replacing Ujoints. I'm lucky my wheels didn't lock up driving home (through the night with a small child in the car)!!! My mechanic at home ended up replacing my whole driveline - because Midas left me with spinning unoints. He said my truck should not have been on the road in that condition. Midas also tampered with my oil filter, causing me to leak oil all over my engine compartment... and running dangerously low oil levels driving home. For all this - they charged me over $800!!! Somehow trying to convince me their shop labor rate was $275 ?!? You're kidding me. Filed with BAR after being avoided by the owner. This place is hazardous!!! Save yourself. read more

My family and I got stuck in Barstow due to my vehicle's alternator not working this past Friday. So, it was towed to Midas nearby. I was super anxious because we needed to leave for home on Sunday. I called Midas on Saturday morning and alternately spoke to Karina and Amber who answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. I'm super thankful that my mini van was worked on with urgency and care that same day. It's been working properly. I can drive it with a peace of mind, especially taking my kids to their first day of school tomorrow. I truly appreciate all their efforts and to those who fixed it--what a fantastic team! read more

My car lost the oil pan plug on my way back from Las Vegas. They fixed it and only had to pay the part and oil change. My car has been running normal since. read more

Excellent customer service. I was from out of town and car was overheating. They couldn't get car to replicate problem. I had to decide to rent car or drive mine home. Chris (mechanic) actually got on phone with rental car agency to see if a car was available for me. I met Chris and another mechanic (forgot name) both were very respectful and kind. So appreciate the great service! I never leave Yelp reviews but thought their kindness warranted a shout out. Thank you! read more

Our car overheated on our way to Vegas and we had just had a tune up on our Lincoln Navigator! We were on our way to see our sons before football season started for them at UNLV. We immediately called AAA as we were stranded in the middle of the desert in 100+ degree heat with our dog who we never travel with but wanted to surprise our boys. AAA wanted to charge us over 1000 dollars to tow our car home because we weren't premium plus members. We will be upgrading to premium plus now btw. They will only tow you 100 miles per day. Tow truck guy informed us of a Midas repair shop and an enterprise rental shop right next door and we quickly reserved a rental car at an enterprise right next door. We had made a reservation for a rental car next door at enterprise and had a car on hold but they closed and never informed us. The Midas shop manager kindly looked up all surrounding rental car places and everything was closed in a Saturday and it wasn't even 2pm. We were stranded at this point. This Midas shop was incredible from the very beginning. Girl at front desk was so friendly and got us right in. Manager reassured us they would figure something out for us. Turns out one of our radiator hoses busted and were praying that it didn't crack our head gasket. So the guys at Midas went above and beyond and modified a part on our vehicle to get it running again. Checked everything to make sure the head gasket wasn't cracked and luckily it wasn't. They were efficient, kind and honest. The shop was very clean and air conditioned which was so nice. Thank you!!!! We definitely recommend this place. 5 stars!!!!! read more

Wasted time and money. Could get an alignment. I've the car chk by two other shops. Neither found the mystery problem Midas claimed. Oh well, I now to avoid at all cost. read more

In 2004 I went there to get a radiator flush and before I get to Von's my engine began to smoke. They DID NOT fill my radiator back up!!!! Flash forward 20x years later (2024) a friend recommended going back for a simple oil change which included all fluid checks. And guess what happened .... they did not fill the windshield washer fluid. Check every detail if you decide to go anyway. read more

Me and my family come here for years. They're upfront and honest and do a great job. I trust them with any repairs. Highly recommend.

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! I dropped in for an oil change while passing through. They took a very long time forgot to put the oil cap back on, causing the oil to spill out all over my engine. I found this a month later when my battery died. Additionally, the mechanic tried to scam me into replacing my brakes, which were brand new. Yet another mechanic trying to take advantage of a young woman! I went into a different Midas to clean the engine in Las Vegas and the mechanic seemed annoyed with me and did a terrible and barely noticeable job at cleaning it. I gave up and went to a different shop, which was very helpful (Jiffy Lube). Midas in ANY location is a definite no go!! read more

On a road trip wanted to check why the check engine light came on. Asked them how much for them to put it on the scan tool. These guys wanted to charge $210 just to put it on lol save yourself the time and money and go somewere else read more

Bunch of brainless mechanics here. Came for an oil change and the "mechanic" is explaining to me why it's taking him TWO hours. Not only did it take two hours but when he finically finished, check engine light starts blinking and the same mechanic tried to charge me for the replacement part be broke. Not only that but this bozo tried to argue with me AFTER I'm discussing HIS mess up and decides to call the police on me. LOL. If u want it your money and time wasted, pull up to midas. Everyone there absolutely brainless. Had to get my lawyers involved for a simple oil change. It's ridiculous. read more

Honored the $95 quote to Inspect car, all friendly, main guy that helped us gave us some very insightful info and no one pushed for us to get service here, overall the best part of being stuck in Barstow with a broken down car ha! read more

Our truck was towed on 03/20/23 to Midas located at 660 W Main St Barstow, CA and we sat in their shop for over 5 hours for them to plug in to find the issue. We heard their mechanic state "he hates diesels" and that should have been our clue to not leave it there but we were at their mercy and they said they could fix it. Once diagnosed we left the truck for them to fix which was our first mistake. The job was too big for them so we had it towed out of Midas on 03/29/23 but only after they charged us $1,855.00 for labor hours. The lack of communication was wrong as they knew it was a big job. Their mechanic left the truck in complete disarray and parts just thrown back in the engine and loosened parts that they shouldn't have even touched. Their lack of judgement cost us more money to repair. We will NEVER use Midas again!!! read more

We had issues with the skid plate while on the way to Vegas. They gave us everything we needed to fix it free of charge. Amazing crew

This is the worst place in Barstow to take your car. My cousin came through town and her car broke down they put an alternator in and parked her car in the front and told her it was ready she gets in and it didn't start. It was closing time and everyone left except one mechanic so he gave her a jump she came to my house and it didn't start back up that cost her over 700.00 dollars. I towed it back to them in the hi morning and they tell her she needs a battery another 250.00 dollars so she proceeded to go back home to Needles and the car stopped. She called them and they say bring it back and expected her to pay for the tow. This place is horrible and will be reported to all agencies. Do not take your car there! read more

The battery service light came on just outside of Barstow. We made it to Midas not knowing anything about the shop. The folks there located a new alternator and got it installed in a couple of hours. We were back on the road pretty quick and the car has been running fine since. If I lived there I would define go back when needed. read more

I've been having issues starting my car, and I believed it was my starter. I called Midas as they were opening, and Amber was immediately willing to help me. She was fast, helpful, and goes out of her way to make sure I was taken cared of. Midas was able to get me in quickly and replace my starter with no issues. Amber was up front with the costs from the beginning and it was true to the end. I would definitely return with the way how they make sure you are taken cared of. If they can't help, they'll find a way to help you one way or another. read more

We highly recommend Midas on 660 W Main St. in Barstow, CA. On September 30 I was driving on Interstate 15 from Las Vegas to Fresno when the top of my 2012 Corvette convertible disconnected from the lock at the front of the car and was perpendicular to the highway. We pulled over to the side of the road and tried to reconnect the top but were unable to do so, so we had it towed to Midas. Ronnie met us and tried to help us get the top connected. He spent about half an hour helping us and even asked another employee to help. We finally succeeded and we could be on our way to Fresno. Ronnie was so helpful! - J&B H read more

On our way to Laughlin, my alternator went out. We were towed to Midas on Main St. It was mid afternoon on a Friday but they were willing to help us out. They did their very best to get us back on the road and avoid ruining our weekend plans. Thank you to Corina and Pedro for going beyond for us! read more

My car broke down not too far out of Barstow, the team here has been nothing but accommodating and went above and beyond to get the parts needed to get my car fixed and work with Enterprise to ensure I was able to still be mobile while my car was being repaired. From the front to back, this team is the best. read more

Tried to sell us 4 new tires and all we needed was one. They said car dealer recommended all four be replaced, not true.

I have unfortunately had to use five different repair shops in the town of Barstow. That being said, there are only two that I trust and would go to again. Midas is competent, super helpful, go the extra mile, and are friendly. The other one I would recommend is Barstow Car Clinic, and big surprise, they are both run by the same guy, Daniel, who will TOTALLY TAKE CARE OF YOU. These guys (and the awesome gals at the front desk!) are awesome, and I can't recommend them strongly enough. read more

If I could give this location *100* stars, I absolutely would!! I had car problems on the 4th of July (it got up to 112* or 114* that day in Barstow) and THIS AWESOME SHOP WAS OPEN THE NEXT DAY/Friday 07/05. I could not believe my luck that they were OPEN and taking customers. The kind soul who answered the phone, Ronny, was friendly and helpful. My pup and I waited in their AC lounge while the ~real hero's~ in the INFERNO out back went to check out my car. The sweet gal, Zoe, at the front desk was soooo considerate. She kept asking if my dog wanted more cold water, or if I needed anything, wanted to watch any tv. She even asked me before cleaning the shop floor, if I was bothered by the smell of "Pine Sol" as she didn't want to set anyone off, since it is such a strong smell. Who asks such thoughtful questions like that these days?? PEOPLE WHO ~CARE~ DO, that's who. Before this visit, I had never been to a Midas. Upon consulting with one of their incredible managers (?), *KICK-ASS KENNY,* about my unique situation and weighing my cost to time ratio, I decided it was in my better interest to get towed back home to San Diego. Kenny was completely upfront about a whole bunch of scenarios and is probably one of the most amazing human beings I have ever dealt with!! All the stars aligned at the end of the day, and among the brightest that made one of my darkest days brighter, a couple of angels named Ronny, Zoe and Kenny helped save me and my pup. MIDAS: We need more ahhhhsum hooman beans like them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I'm very skeptical of auto repair shops (I had an incredibly horrible experience recently at a Meineke in Las Vegas, for example), but was in a bind the other day: I was on a road trip and my alternator belt snapped five minutes away from Barstow. I had to get to work and had a couple more hours to drive, so this was very stressful. I called a few shops and no one could take me, but this Midas location said to come on by and that they had the part in stock. They quickly took my car in the back, did about an hour of labor, and charged what I considered to be a very reasonable price. I was out of there in about 75 minutes, total, and made it back home safely (and to work on time). Everyone there was fantastic and I highly recommend it. Big thanks to them for saving the day! read more

I've been bringing my cars to Midas since I moved to Barstow and I have had nothing but good experiences & service.

Midas Does OK work the people that work there is OK but they do try to get over and they have risen their prices my daughter goes there to get a oil change and ask them about what's the noise she hear in the car and they told her to leave it and they don't look at it they should explained everything when I go back to drop her off it was $197 to get the car that was a ridiculous price just to do a regular oil change and to check out the noise. Being that she is young they should explain to her there is a diagnostic fee and how much it will be.. If I was present none of that would've took place.. They have done work for me a lightbulb cost me $25 front brake pads cost me $100 read more

I had a great experience here. I purchased new tires and had a coolant flush done. They were able to get the tires I needed quickly at a fair price. I also had a coolant flush done for less then half of what they wanted to charge at the dealership. I was also able to get a ride home while my car was being serviced. read more
