Great experience at Midas Encinitas! This was my second visit to this location and I will definitely be back. Great customer service by Service Manager, Matthew. I was able to schedule an appointment and they took care of my brakes in a timely manner. Made me feel welcome and comfortable waiting for the work to be done. This is especially important for female customers, such as myself. Thanks, Matthew! read more

We recently brought in our Suburban and Expedition to Jeff and his team and our service was fantastic! Jeff was honest with us in what we needed to do, and was reasonable with the price. We highly recommend everyone to go here! read more

I have a VW and usually take it to Herman Cook in Encinitas, which has been fine, but my last oil change I decided to do something different and took it to Midas because of good reviews in Yelp. Jeff at Midas went the extra mile with me when my check-engine-light came on the day after the oil change. I didn't know if it was a fluke or what so t called Jeff and he had me come in and did the diagnostics on it for no charge. Good feelings for Midas! read more

Y'ALL, Jeff at Midas is my guardian angel. I've been here several times over the past year and every time I walk out feeling like I got a great deal from a friend. I've never had any issues with the work they've done for me (oil changes, A/C compressor, mass airflow) and Jeff does whatever he can to get you the best price. I never write reviews, but it's so rare to see someone who obviously cares so much about the customers. The rest of the staff is great as well. read more

ask for Jeff (the store manager) when you go in. He's really knowledgeable and fair. About a year ago I stopped at a different shop close by and they wanted over a grand to make a repair on our 2007 suburban. I stopped by midas and met Jeff Check.. I asked him to Check out the same problem. I did not tell him what the other mechanic said. He called me with the $1000 option but said he thought he could fix it for a couple hundred without ordering the overpriced part. It worked.. he's had out business ever since. Not just for brakes and oil changes but for tires and mechanical failures of any kind.. read more

Had a great experience here today getting my oil changed. The waiting area/office is clean and quiet and the employees are super nice and not at all pushy. The oil change was done in less than an hour (none of that cat and mouse game of "Oh, it'll be done in 45 minutes" which turns into 2 1/2 hours). I printed out a coupon from their website and brought it in, and I didn't get charged for any hidden fees; I ended up paying the price listed on the coupon plus tax. These people were truly a pleasure to deal with, which is much more than I can say for my other oil change experiences around town at other shops. read more

After driving cross country from Massachusetts I needed an oil change and multi-point inspection. I've used Midas back east and figured I'd stick with them out here as well. I dealt with Jeff, who got my car in the shop right away, called me while I ran errands to apprise me of what turned up during the inspection, and had me out the door in under an hour. The guys were friendly and professional and I'll definitely be returning here next time my car needs servicing. read more

Rule of thumb when looking at yelp reviews; you should remove the highest and the lowest and evaluate the ones in the middle. The problem, for me, is if I gave anything less than the highest rating, I would be doing Gary and Jeff an injustice. My check engine light was on. I am new to the neighborhood. I checked places on yelp and someone told me about Midas. I decided to call and I spoke to Jeff. He told me he would check it out and diagnosis the situation for no charge to me. He was very helpful and accommodating on the phone, so I decided to go for it. The yelp reviews reflected prior management. I made an appointment. When I took my car in, Gary greeted me. He said it would take an hour and I took a walk. There are lots of places to explore in the neighborhood. When I got back, Jeff had a suggestion. He told me to go buy a $9.00 part and put it in, which I could do, and he bet that would solve my problem. If it didn't, then bring it back. It cost me $9.00 and so far so good. They took their time, their energy, their knowledge and didn't charge me a cent. BUT what they did gain is my loyalty. Gary and Jeff were great and I would recommend them and I have now found my neighborhood car place! read more

I had a great experience at Midas. They were friendly and efficient. They were spot o on their time estimate and had me in and out of there quickly. I had my oil changed tires rotated and air filter replaced. After cost comparisons, they were also very competitive with their pricing. Jeff Check, the service manager was terrific, he works hard to make you happy. Will be back! read more

Gary, Richard and Jeff, I wanted to say thanks for all of your help today. I can't remember the last time I had someone so honest and helpful with a car issue. I know the issue with my vehicle did not end up being a big deal but it still took a half hour or so of your time. The fact that you found the problem (A missing bolt) and were able to fix it and then not charge me a penny was so kind. I will be a return customer!!! Thank you! read more

My husband and I have been taking both our cars to Midas for about 4 years now and received great service. We get our oil changed regularly and they always do a great job, making sure to check all fluids and letting us know if anything else needs work. Last time I took my car in they let me know I needed new brake pads. I knew this was the case because they had been squeaking and the Toyota dealer had told me the same thing. The price they quoted was over $100 cheaper than the dealer, they came with a lifetime warranty, and they did a great job. Garry and Jeff both took care of it with great service, courtesy, and friendliness. We will continue to go there and recommend it to our friends. read more

I brought my car here yesterday after having to pay the dealership $450 to fix my front brakes. I needed my rear brakes done and the price was way lower than the dealership! The reason for the 5 stars is that i had also been given a list of recommended repairs and they were made to seem that I needed to do them now and I can't afford to. Jeff had his mechanic look at these items specifically ( they are not brake related) and went over them with me. Turns out I can wait ( and save up). I had been pretty stressed about this and now I feel much better. I was quoted the Midas prices for those repairs but not made to feel like I have to do them now. He also gave me a recommendation for where to go and get my smog done. Excellent customer service. read more

Great service, great staff! Jeff was straightforward and to the point. I left feeling confident on the repair on my car and with the price. Will definitely be going back; actually taking my other car in for a look. read more

Jeff replaced the brakes on my Mercedes 550GL. Unfortunately they squeaked after. He replaced them a second time with a smile. And they still squeaked. He replaced them a third time with a smile, with Mercedes brand parts, at a loss for his cost. My car is huge and goes through brakes quickly. I will definitely return to Midas Encinitas. Jeff was great. Fabulous customer service. read more

My daughter's car recently had an engine light come on that was linked to an emission issue. I brought the car to Midas and spoke with Ian and Jeff. They called me back in a couple of hours and informed me that the issue may in fact be covered by a factory recall. I picked up the car and drove to dealer to find out that indeed it was covered at 100%. Midas could have done the work and charged me and I never would have known the difference. The dealer told me I also needed a rear brake job for $375 and an alignment for $129. I went to Midas and confirmed I needed the work and bot both done for just over $200 total. My daughter is going away to college soon and the fact that Midas is nationwide and their systems within the stores communicate, I can rest easy knowing that she will be taken care of in an honest fashion whereever she decides to go to school. THANK YOU MIDAS....LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR LIFE!!!! read more

What makes me rate my experience 5 stars? Great service! At this location, I'm able to drive-up or call in and speak to a courteous employee. Jeff, the manager at this location, goes out of his way to explain issues related to your car, illustrate or show you what those issues are, and options for fixing them. When dealing with the front desk, its nice to know that the person is also knowledgeable - and I believe Jeff at the front desk was or still is a mechanic - capable of providing valuable insight into what's needed and what's not. I've had my car in on a few occasions, been offered great pricing, free inspections, and received great results at a fraction of the cost. Not being an auto mechanic myself, I need to trust someone, and I trust these guys. read more

This place is great. The service here was outstanding and Jeff is the nicest person and very accommodating. I got an oil change here and they checked out the rest of my car just to make sure everything with my car was good to go. They were so fast as well. For all of you car service needs, I definitely recommend taking your car here, you won't be disappointed. read more

Because my friend talks so highly of Midas Encinitas I went in there today. Not only were they super friendly but I was quoted 45 minutes...pretty sure it was 20. Jeff was extremely knowledgable and helpful about options for my brakes. I will go back for sure! read more

Jeff is super nice and very professional. I was immediately helped, wasn't taken advantage of, and got my car back in a timely fashion. It shouldn't be so rare that someone does what they say they're going to do, and doesn't overcharge or take advantage of a customer, but unfortunately with mechanics it is rare. Definitely going back to this location again. read more

I've used Midas in Encinitas several times and have been impressed by their professional and honest service. Recently, I needed a starter in order to get to a conference on time. They called one over, installed it, and had me on the road in under two hours. In the past, I've had them put in a new catalytic converter, and I was equally impressed. Understanding, friendly, and honest help from professionals who care about their customers. I highly recommend them. read more

I have been going to Midas encinitas for quite some time I actually bought an oil change for life in 2010 which in my opinion was quite amazing. Recently I had my oil changed and was made aware of quite a few big problems Midas suggesting checking my warranty on my 2010 corolla. To my surprise all was covered and if it wasn't for them I would have never known the problems would be covered by my Toyota warranty. Hats off to you and thank you so much! It's nice to know that honesty is your best policy. read more

We have worked with Jeff at this location and let me tell ya, they went above and beyond to help us. They are friendly, professional, and they find out what is wrong and fix it. I would recommend their services to anyone! read more

Great customer service. Ian helped me right away as I was in the area. He gave an me honest, reasonable estimate. No charge for breaks to be checked which was even better. read more

Jeff is AMAZING! I came in with burnt tails lights and he helped me out on the spot, free of charge. Such extraordinary customer service! I will definitely be coming back here for any other automotive needs. Five stars! read more

Midas was amazing, and Ian in particular provided us with great service! The bulb on one of my turn signals was out, and Ian took roughly five minutes to replace it... And he said it was free. Super duper nice and considerate! Will definitely go back for future needs read more

I highly recommend Midas in Encinitas. They have been taking care of my Lexus GX and my husband's Tahoe for a few years now and always do a terrific job. Jeff, the Store Manager is very professional and friendly. Jeff always searches for coupons and specials to make the repairs/maintenance as affordable as possible. His staff always call when they say they will and our cars are always ready when they say they will be. Excellent service! read more

I never write yelp reviews, but I just have to write this one. I strongly recommend Midas in Encinitas. Our family has been taking our cars here for over five years. We will not go anywhere else. They are always completely honest and never try to oversell or pressure you into extra work. Not only are the staff always friendly and accommodating with scheduling, but you can really trust what they tell you and the work that they do. Best auto repair around! read more

Good old fashioned mechanic, with good old fashioned customer service. These guys took care of my daughters car for a great price and they did a perfect job. The customer service is awesome and friendly. We will be back with all of our cars! read more

I have to give a shout out to Jeff Check, the Store Manager. I brought my Dodge Ram in to the shop because the muffler was making a deafening noise. I let him know it was an extra car and I wanted to spend the least amount possible - fully expecting I'd be told I had to replace the exhaust pipe. Jeff called me and told me within hours that his tech had been able to solder the pipe and completely resolve the problem. Total cost was a drop in the bucket. I couldn't be happier with his honest service. They also do brakes, tires and general service. I'll be back. read more

My dad and I have been coming to Midas for years and have had excellent customer service & great work on both of our vehicles. Jeff has always been kind and accommodating. read more

Jeff and his guy averted a personal catastrophe for me! At 4 p.m. on a Saturday, a mere 12 hours before I was to start my 800 mile drive back home to Santa Fe NM, I was warned by a friend that my radiator was leaking. Yikes! My sister said to take it to Jeff. I did. He reassured me that he'd get me safely on my way even if he had to stay late. He had me safe to go within an hour. Fantastic! Thank you, and greetings from Santa Fe! read more

I was referred to this store by Pep Boys. My car needed work on the exhaust system. The guys at Pep Boys told me that this Midas store has very honest employees. I was so impressed with Jeff at Midas that I am now a customer for life. read more

I have been going here for the past five years, consistent staff without much turnover. Always a good sign in the customer service arena. The manager at the front desk took care of me right away at the 4 PM time slot (just popped on in after work-no appointment). Two brake lights out and fixed within a matter of minutes. I appreciate competence and more importantly quality service. I recommend this Midas for all repairs. As we all know, repairs can be tricky and costly; however, this place does not try to take the money and run. read more

Absolutely hands down best service out there. Been going to this location for five years plus and have always had exceptional service from Jeff the manager and his crew. Appointments are always kept and work is done in timely manner at a good value. Will be going here for years to come. Thanks Jeff! read more

This place is amazing! All of the employees here really care about the business and it's customers. I've been having a lot of issues with my old car for the past month and Jeff (the manager) really went out of his way to help me. I could tell he was genuinely concerned about my car situation and he was there through every step. He even worked with me on the pricing because he knows I am a struggling student and full time worker. He even helped me get a tow truck for my car because I couldn't afford it. I can honestly say that my life would be screwed right now if it weren't for the team at Midas. I recently moved to Oceanside, but I'll be coming back for my oil changes because its worth it! read more

Jeff and the crew were great! Very professional and kind. I will be bringing my vehicles here from now on!

National name but personal, small town, friendly and reliable service. Jeff takes care of you. He makes the repairs that are requested or only those that are needed. I have been taking several of my cars to Jeff for a few years now. You can trust him! read more

I went into Midas today, not sure of what was happening with my car. Jeff was extremely helpful, and went above and beyond to give me great customer service. I was very impressed by their customer care, and will continue using them for any future car needs. Thanks Jeff!!! read more

When I called to get an appointment the Manager Jeff exhibts great customer service and professionalism. I noticed every customer that came in he went above and beyond the call of duty. David is also very curtious and professional. Repairs were very fair in price. I would definitly come back here to have work done. Thank you Midas staff. read more

I am extremely happy that I chose to go with Midas rather than the dealership. I had an appointment to go to the dealership for a routine oil change but was having second thoughts based off a past experience. After doing some quick research I found Midas in Encinitas and saw all the wonderful reviews it had. Jeff was great, he was extremely friendly and more than helpful. My car was in and out after about 45 minutes, which was about an hour and 15 minutes faster than the dealer was. I'm more than happy and will definitely be back for all of my car's maintenance needs. It's absolutely worth the trip from Oceanside to Encinitas! read more
