I am so impressed with the service manager at this location. It was early in the morning and I was in a terrible mood from all the traffic. The service manager greeted me so pleasantly that it turned my whole day around! I came in to have my heat shield removed because it was loose and rattling loudly. The dealership quoted $400 to replace it (I'm on a student budget) and it turned out there was just a screw loose that needed to be tightened, which took about 5 minutes, so he didn't even charge me! So honest and kind, I just moved here and have definitely found a new home for my auto repairs and maintenance! Thank you so much for being AWESOME! read more

We have 3 older vehicles that we have trusted Midas with for almost 4 years now for our regular maintenance and for those unscheduled fixes and Midas never disappoints. They are able to get us in and out quickly. Jeff understands what our needs are and does a great job communicating the issues to us. We have a new driver in the family so we will be adding on an additional car soon and I know they will continue to provide excellent service. Thank you again Jeff and all the guys for your honesty, hard work and for continuing to make our lives easier. read more

These guys are great. Quality work and friendly staff. They helped me fix my flat tire no charge and I've been back 3 times for other issues (breaks etc) for a reason! The 2 managers are great and will make sure everything's taken care of. They even went the extra mile to get me out on time for my dentist appointment! Go to Midas! read more

SAFETY is POLICY. The story of Midas in Encinitas continues to get the highest rating from not only me but as noted by countless other positive reviews from happy customers. Just the other day I'd come by to get my oil changed, and once again without my asking or being charged he let me know his expert mechanics had rotated my tires. Apparently SAFETY is part of Midas Encinitas everyday POLICY. read more

I drive from irvine to have my car serviced there. I like the flexible service, prices, friendly and fun service. I always liked their service but Jeff is super nice. He adjusted my appointment when my dental appointment changed at the last moment. I will come back and tell friends to go their. Thanks Guys. Joanna read more

My family and I take all of our cars here for service. Friendly, dependable and they always do a great job.

These guys were so friendly and helpful! I called about getting an oil change for my car and they not only were able to get me in that day but they offered to me a coupon for the oil change. The car was done quickly even though they were very busy and they completed several free tests letting me know the status of my car. read more

Big thanks to Jeff for getting my truck fit enough to pass smog. They were honest and fair with prices. You guys rock! Hopefully i wont be needing any work on my truck soon, but if i do ill be coming back to you guys. thanks again! read more

Stopped in here around 515p on a Monday to get a quote on my brakes so I could bring it back over the weekend to have the work done. The guys were so awesome!! Not only did they take a look at my truck they stayed there until 7 (an hour past closing) completing the work on my truck so I didn't need to make two trips!! Awesome service!! Thanks guys!!! read more

Came in for new brakes. I was told by another Auto Service company I needed new pads and rotors. Midas was kind enough to tell me they didn't need to replace the rotors saving me significant amount of money. Their price was very competitive and the service was excellent! and as i was ready to leave they told me all the other services they provide, and they gave me a great deal on an oil change. Great price, great service and fast. I will be back! read more

Kudos to Ian and the Midas team for a job well done. Towed my truck to them after a brake issue and they fixed that along with a bunch of other items that I had been neglecting. Truck now runs great. They were honest and communicated every step of the way. Very happy customer. read more

Jeff was helpful, fast, and reliable. I asked for options to keep costs down and he provided them professionally.

There are mechanics and then there are good people who know how to work on cars. The guys here are definitely the latter. They worked with me and my wife to fix the most important things in my car not just what would make them the most money. They took calls and emails from both my wife and I as I was at work but would be the one dropping off the car. They worked with us with pricing and even dropped me back off at work after I left the car with them to be worked on. Excellent customer service, excellent work, and just generally nice people. I will be returning to this Midas and any other one who's employees are this dedicated. read more

Great experience these guys went out of their way to get me in last minute right around 4 PM and I'm out the door at 5:30 with new brakes and rotors also got a discount coupon out of nowhere love it check it out go there get it done right read more

Literally the only place I go for my car. I have been a customer here for almost a decade and they have treated me like family. Car mechanics get a bad rep for trying to rip off customers by "finding" things that need to be fixed. Not here though. Jeff and the crew would NEVER suggest any extra unnecessary "problems" that need to be fixed. They are honest to the core. I came in one time to get my headlamp fixed and it appeared to just be a loose wire when they popped the hood. Unfortunately, that wasn't the problem and the headlamp stopped working again, so I went back to get it fixed. Jeff felt bad for "inconveniencing" me and not getting it right in the first place and he refused to let me pay for the fix! Seriously! It's hard to find an honest mechanic, but since I found these guys I refuse to take my business elsewhere! read more

I recently did breaks on my Audi, I wasn't in the mood to drop $900 at the stealership, and this guys are great, they charged me only $400. I've got great fast service and good overall knowledge. Keep it up! read more

THANK YOU JEFF @ MIDAS! YOU MADE A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE!!! After the disaster that was my experience with the Toyota service department (the bolts on my exhaust literally fell off because they didn't tighten them enough and the pipe wasn't even attached anymore, and the sub-frame bolts were about to fall off also, which could have caused all kinds of problems) they tightened the loose bolts and even popped in a couple new bolts in the exhaust line for free, since I didn't have the money to pay for it at the moment... Jeff didn't want to see me leave with that kind of a major problem!!! Now that's good service!!! Thank you so much! I will never forget your outstanding service, the epitome of above and beyond, and I will be back to you guys first with any problems! THANK YOU! read more

I have been using this shop for years and I am very satisfied! Jeff and the other guys there are very friendly and accommodating, I can trust them (which is a big thing), and they get the job done well. I think their prices are very fair. Also, they often go the extra mile: Yesterday morning my car developed a strange noise. I decided it wasn't safe to drive and took an uber to a meeting I couldn't miss. I called Jeff at Midas to tell him to expect my car in his shop around 1-2pm. He said, "Don't worry, have it towed to us, we will take care of it." After my meeting, I had my car towed to Midas and they looked at it very quickly and found out that my front wheels were loose! They tightened the wheels, test drove the car and charged me nothing. Wow! read more

This is the best auto shop I have found. I have been going to them for years and am never disappointed with their service. Jeff and his team are honest and fair and always take great care of my vehicles. Highly recommended! read more

Came in for brakes & battery. Frank knew I had to wait for the car, so we scheduled first thing in the morning. Result= fixed brakes front & back, only what I needed, no more. New battery, to replace cracked one. Done when he said it would be done. Never takes advantage of my lack of knowledge about cars. Fair prices. Will use again for all my car needs. read more

I absolutely LOVE Midas of Encinitas. Jeff is the best. He's honest, fair, and knowlegable. I've been going to him for years and now my teenage son also takes his car to him. You don't often find a mechanic you trust 100%. I've recommended him to several friends and we all agree that he's the GOAT! read more

Just had the Mercedes repaired at Encinitas Midas. This is the 2nd time we have used them and it was again a very cost effective, pleasant and positive experience. The 1st time was for brakes and they saved us over $200 on just the front brakes alone and they give us new FREE pads as they wear down! The 2nd time was for an ignition coil and again they saved us over 1/3 the cost to repair as others and used OEM parts! The diagnostic fee of $100 is waived if you decide to repair the car at Midas. Jeff and his crew are very knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who wants proper, reasonably priced and timely automobile repairs. Thank you Midas! read more

I had an oil filter stuck on my Prius, couldn't do oil change. Jeff Check said bring it on in and we will break it loose. Sure enough, got in right away, they got it free, changed the filter for me. Great guys. Really appreciate it. They also gave me some advise on a better oil filter wrench for me to get for later ease of oil change since I do my own. read more

Jeff and all the technicians were super fast, helpful, and friendly. They pointed out issues with a variety of solutions and even fixed a couple things free of charge. Pretty awesome service; highly recommended, will be definitely be returning. read more

We have been bring our cars to this Midas location for years. Jeff and Giovanni are always helpful and accommodating. Fair prices and awesome customer service keep us coming back! read more

The Encinitas Midas was very helpful and clear with what my car needed. They gave me a fair price for my bakes and oil change which is often hard to find! Plus they got me in and out the door quickly! Everything you want in a car repair experience! Thank you Jeff for making this process a smooth process for me! read more

Been coming here since we moved here back in August of 2016. Always a great experience and Jeff is always such a help. Moving to Oceanside but I will continue to come here for my vehicle servicing. read more

Jeff has REALLY done it again this time! Thank you Jeff. For always taking care of me when I come in for service. Let's just say I have only had issues with my Mazda Beast. Last time I went it I had to replace some sensor in my engine, this time I had to get my window fixed. Jeff went above and beyond to call Maxcare for me and figure out what my deductible was since I did not know I was even covered. As busy as the man gets, he sure seems to make the time for each customer so they receive the best customer service and feel fairly treated. He rotated my tires on the house and made sure I did not have to pay a dime for my expensive window fixing. I always feel taken care of with the boys at Midas, Jeff most of all! Thank you!! I like my car a little more each time I leave Midas knowing you guys have my back! read more

I thought the service was great. The oil change was not expensive and their service was quick. They made a number of recommendations about work that I needed done and were more than happy to work with me on an as-needed basis since I was not ready to do all of the work that they recommended. I was also directed to a coupon that would provide a discount to diagnose my check engine light as well. All in all I felt well taken care of. read more

My wife and I wish to express how pleased we were with Gary, the manager, and Jeff, employee, on the work they did on our Lexus 330 SUV and the money it saved us. We have recommended Midas Encinitas to all of our friends and are committed to Midas for all future service because of the them. You have 2 great employees!! read more

I felt that the guys at Midas were very courteous and did not push me into unnecessary parts and service. I was serviced very quickly.

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I just got an oil change but the service was great which means ill definitely be back! I originally came in thinking I would get my brakes done too but I didn't need it. Jeff was very nice and seemed honest about what needed to be done to my car. He could have charged me for new breaks but was honest and told me it wasn't necessary because I still had a lot of miles left. I appreciated the customer service and how fast they were. Garry was also really helpful and helped me answer a lot of the questions I had. Definitely pleased, I'll be back! read more

I wish I could give more stars to Midas in Encinitas and the manager Gary! My car had been making an odd noise for two weeks and I took it to Pep Boys who did the oil change right before the noise began. After waiting for 20 minutes just to explain my problem and being told I would have to wait hours since they were booked, they diagnosed it with 3 possible problems. Finally thinking it was the muffler, Pep Boys referred me to Midas- THANK GOD! I called Midas to see if they could even see me since they were closing but Gary told me to come right in and he would check it out. It took him 5 minutes of putting my car on the lift to figure out the exact problem, fix it in 5 more minutes and let me drive it to make sure the problem was corrected. No charge AND he stayed 30 minutes after closing time!! Not many places would stay past their 8 hours. I am so impressed with Midas that I will be switching all of my business to them in the future! Thank you Gary and shout out to Richard who also helped out! read more

I stopped in to see if they could fix or replace a rattling heat shield on my Honda's catalytic converter. Before I was even in the door I was asked what I needed help with. Within 10 seconds they had my keys and within a minute the car was being put in the lift. About 3 minutes later, they came in to show me the issue, and said they would fix it with a crimp and spot weld. That took about 5 minutes, and they handed me the keys and sent me on my way, refusing to take payment for such a small job. Both guys were very friendly, courteous, and professional. I doubt I've had a more positive experience in my 30 years of getting cars fixed or maintained. I will definitely give them my future business. Thanks, guys! read more

This has become my 'go to shop' for everything from tires, brakes, exhaust and Oil Changes. Service is great, the work is honest- which means to me the guys have never surprised me with something they didn't expect. Prices seem in line with what I would expect for the jobs done. read more

I needed to get an Uber Inspection. Shops in my area that I went to said it would be a long wait, or that they would not do the work at all Period. Call Midas in Encinitas as they were on the Inspection List. Phone was answered by Jeff. He said that they were busy, but if I came by he would get me in and out quickly. Went to the shop. They were very busy. I was greeted by Jeff. He took the vehicle, and did a PROMPT inspection. This experience was a pefrect "10" I would not hesitate to go to this shop again and again for all my automotive needs. Thanks Jeff, and thanks Midas team! read more

Central Location, Excellent Service and Reasonable Price. Service Managers are friendly and explain the technical issues and available options in an easy to understand manner. I have also compared their prices at other competing facilities and found those to be very much in line (if not lower) than the competition. I would definitely recommend this facility. read more

Another satisfied customer! This was my second visit to Midas. I took my car to another shop and learned my lesson. Brought it back to Midas Encinitas and both Jeff as well as Ian took exceptional care of my vehicle. They are professional and provide excellent customer service. They truly care about their customers and have earned my trust. I will definitely be a return customer for all of my vehicle service needs. read more

These guys are great. I have taken my 9 year old XC90 here for service several times, and they have always been quick, honest and helpful. They don't nickel and dime you either. I've had a variety of auto services there and will continue to take my car there. read more

I was quoted over $150 for a diagnostic for a possible oil leak at a dealership. I called Midas and they said the diagnostic would be free. I took my car in and they were helpful and honest. They examined the car and told me I didn't have an oil leak. They didn't charge me and I will go back to them when I do need car maintenance done. read more
