Routine oil change labor overpriced. Consumers beware, especially seniors and female car owners. Compare price for the same type of service with other places. Convenience of location and getting an appointment are offset by the cost. Facts:Materials $46.65, Labor $146.04 Discount $10 (wow!) That is why I recommended for consumers to compare for the same type of service. Had oil change done in the past years. Never paid this much for an old car even for this type of oil. read more

Waited in the front of the store for at least 10 minutes nobody came to ask anything seen one guy, stopped him asked him for help he said just pull into a spot waited again by the area where the cars go to get fixed, nobody came almost everyone walked away, I just wanted someone to fix a tire with an obvious nail, someone pointed me to what looked to be some type of hire up didn't seem like a manager but he just quickly told me how he ain't got time for it today and that he's already got like 8 cars lined up which I get that part but does it really take that long to fix a flat? Not only that but they charge $60 bucks for it so it's not like it would've been free service and not have taken a lot of time, maybe next time would be nice if they offer an appointment or something don't just be rude and tell people you don't got time. read more

I drive past other Midas's to get to this one me, I get 4 oil changes here a year and on occasion they have given me heads up on needed repairs. Sometimes the best price has been there but not every time, they truly seem to care for their customers they also have had very little turnover in staff for the 8 years and 3 cars that I have been going there. read more

I've been meaning to get a tire rotation on my vehicle for awhile now so I did some research on Yelp and Midas was one of the top suggested shops in the area. I tried getting some information on the Midas website for an appointment and estimate but I didn't get any response. I ended up calling the Hayward location and the gentleman on the phone quickly gave me an estimate and I booked an appointment to bring my car in. The service was quick and friendly. Also I want to point out that during the entire visit I did not feel like I was being forced any additional services that were not needed. The gentleman that assisted me pulled up a CarFax type report on my car and told me that my vehicle does not have any recalls or any additional service requirements for this visit so the tire rotation will be enough. I ended up paying $25 for the tire rotation and I mentioned to the mechanic that there's been a rattling noise in the left side of the vehicle. That quickly discovered that a screw was missing and they replaced it for me with no additional fees. I was in and out of the shop in roughly 30 minutes or so. I will definitely be back for additional maintenance on my vehicle at this Midas location. read more

I've been going here for a few years now and have always had great, quick service. Jason and the front desk staff are always very helpful. I appreciate that they take customers into the shop to point out what they are working on and if there is anything to look out for on your car. They even call the next day after your service to make sure everything is in working order. Highly recommend this Midas! read more

I had a good experience. Fixed my brakes and roters that I provided. Service was fast all I did was go to the food and mall across the street and wasted time. Service lady was cool and straight to the point esp on phone. She knows her stuff too esp prices on the spot and I like that. My brakes are smooth af and buttery now. I would come here again! read more

In and out, they are helpful and care about their customers. Highly recommend for auto needs.

Follow up... We had better views and saw damage was already there. Mitas get a 3 star for customer service. From the get go the person who serviced my car, Carlos could have came out and said, Hey I'm so sorry but damages were there already... and the gal in front could have said we have your number I will have Jason, the owner to call you back. I had go on my lunch break to speak with The owner the next Monday when he would be at the shop. My visit to Mitas with Jason was negative at first. I said I have clips on my flash we can look at and he responded with "I don't have time to look at that". Though we did view on my tiny dash cam together. No dent done by Mitas, but my experience was still negative. read more

Midas - Front desk - Auto Repair Near Me - Hayward, California

I have used this Midas locations for the last 5+ years for both my own car and the wife cars but sadly that won't be the case in the future. I've used them for oil changes and replacing the brakes and although I wanted to keep supporting this place however the technicians that work there are sloppy and don't care about your vehicle. Examples are I've asked them to rotate the tires during one visit and because they were backed up the response I received during that time was your tires don't need rotating. I said how did he determine that as it was due to be rotating. He said the tread was fine. When I went home I noticed that the oil cap was not tightened and the wiper fluid cap was off. No biggie I gave them the benefit of the doubt and just said they must be busy. Another visit after getting my breaks done at Midas I noticed that one of the lug nuts was missing when I was getting new tires. I was told that they could not install the tire because the thread was damaged. Of course this was one day after I left Midas which meant they did not notify me or alert me that the car I was driving was missing this lug nut. I contacted them and the owner assured me he would address it so I brought my car down and they 'fixed' it. They informed me that they had fixed the issue thus I was happy and drove the car for months. I got another oil change from Midas and again because they didn't rotate the tires took it to another tire store. I watched them take off all three tires but could not take off the last one. It was the same tire that Midas had fixed. He called me over and stated that the lug nut was stuck on and again it is not safe driving on four nuts. So the moral of the story here ladies and gentlemen is if you think the technicians at Midas are taking the time to fix damage they have caused and leaving your car to drive in a safe manner I would disagree. Rather than going back to Midas and asking them to fix it a second time I took it to the dealership and paid the $175 for the peace of mind that it would get done safely and correctly. Again the owner I have dealt with was accommodating in the past but the technicians that do the work are sloppy and untrustworthy. In the first incident they forgot or purposely left the lug nut off as it could not be put back on and the second time to fix it they applied it but it actually did not screw on and was just there to look like all the lug nuts were on. Loss my business for good for both my vehicles. If you go here verify the work. read more

Over charge on diagnostic of $180 and then will not credit this to your repairs. While other shops charge $85 for diagnostic and will credit this charge to your repairs if they do the work. Manager says that they just changed this policy this year 2023 and explained this to me with the harshest aditude. I will no longer be doing business with Midas read more

The service I received was unacceptable. The mechanic attempted to charge me for a handful of services that would have cost me more than $3200, only 500 of which I discovered I needed to spend. The mechanic changed my oil, but cited a variety of brakes, windows, and converter needs that reached a potential sum north of 3200 dollars. I paid for the oil change and contacted another mechanic for a second opinion. The other mechanic serviced my car for wipers and brakes, the only remaining service my car needed. The car has run fine, and I have 2700 more dollars than I would have had I gone to this Midas location. And for good measure, the mechanic who serviced also discovered that the Midas mechanic had spilled oil all over my motor. I am posting this review now, even though the incident I am referring to was 5 months, but that's for a specific reason. I just had my car serviced for oil and I asked the mechanics to take a look at anything that caught their attention. The gentleman cited one a flaw in the check engine light, but that was it and he can tell that it would be a simple fix. Otherwise,he felt liked fine, and certainly requires nothing that would cost 500 in repair, let alone 3200. If the services were as necessary as the .ideas mechanic suggested, they would have gotten sizeably worse to the point at which they would be noticeable. Keep in mind the mechanic whom I spoke to had his own vest interesta to justify citing more needs for the car. So now, I officially have no respect or trust in this Midas location or the methods of sales the company requires of its employees. I'll look lzoy up read more

I made an appointment Friday mid day for Saturday morning at 8 am, I arrived at 7:55 am, I noticed there was about 5 people there already, I could see they were busy after a few minutes I went up towards the counter and said that I had an appointment for 8 am and was given shrugged shoulders by the man that was behind the counter, his attitude was very nonchalant and he said I could leave my car, so I asked him for how long and he said he didn't know, and then said "well I guess it doesn't make a difference I made an appointment" and he didn't respond back, so I left and won't be back. Why have people make appointments when you don't honor them? read more

An updated review per my last visit. I got a standard full synthetic oil change here like I've done in the past, but this time idk if they were in a hurry or have new staff, but my experience was less than great. They told me my tires will need to be replaced pretty soon, which was expected, but I still wanted the complimentary tire rotation. The total came out to about $75. When I got the car back, it felt off. It was driving weird and really shaky esp if I went past 50mph. I was one of the last cars they worked on that day, so maybe they were in a rush? I didn't notice until I had to drive on the freeway a couple days after. I had my brother take a look at it bc he works on cars, and he noticed one of the hub centric rings was cracked which was causing the shaking. I call Midas to let them know the issues I was having and about the cracked hub centric ring I discovered. They offer to look at it again, claiming someone may have forgotten to balance the tires after rotating them (also, while making it seem like it was my fault bc I was supposed to ask them to balance it and that they usually charge to do so..). I wait outside (didn't want to sit inside bc Covid) and watch them work on it. They drive it to the other garage work area in the back, meanwhile the undercarriage is dragging on the ground and one of the workers is like oh, don't worry, we'll fix that. They do a test drive around Southland and tell me my car is fixed. I asked about the hub centric ring and if that was fixed and he had no idea what I was talking about, kept giving me the run around and not really giving me any straight answers except for, "check out so and so, they're a tire shop". Wow, thanks for the unhelpful customer service. I left and the car still drove exactly the same, still very shaky, bc surprise, that ring was still cracked. Ended up taking it somewhere else to replace the whole wheels and balance them, but what a hassle and waste of time here. Won't be returning. read more

Shout out to Jason! Coming from a woman perspective, I feel intimidate and super cautious when comes to fixing cars. Jason, owner did a very genuine analysis and recommendations to all options. He suggested to change tires. Of course he gave the quotation n ask me to search around. I truly appreciate w this gesture. Will come back. I changed my front brake pads. Nonproblem so far. read more

Great & trustworthy people. Highly recommend this company. Thank you so much for taking care of us and many other satisfied customers. read more

Just got an oil change on my Honda Civic today. Had to wait a while since it was pretty busy but I already knew since I called ahead. Once they were done, one of the mechanics told me that my left headlight was out and told me they could replace the bulb. They gave me a price and I agreed. After they were done, the headlight was working again, but then I noticed that my front left parking light was out (I knew it was out a while ago but forgot about it). I told them about it and they replaced it at no extra charge. Thanks! read more

I recently took my 2010 Ford Mustang in for a check engine light. Had intermittent codes. They said it was PCM issue and gave me a fair price but it was out of my budget unfortunately. I was able to get the PCM fixed elsewhere for a lot cheaper but since I got it repaired the issue has been fixed thanks to a correct diagnosis from these guys. Would recommend them if you need car repairs. read more

My 2010 Honda Odyssey was in need of an oil change. Went to my trusty Yelp app to see which oil change stations received the highest reviews. Midas was at the top with the most reviews. I called to see how long the wait was and he said there was 2 ahead of me. However he asked when can I get there and I said "right now". When I arrived they took my car right away. Now that's great service. My check engine light was also on so they hooked their device to get the code. Lo and behold the code popped up because I was in need of an oil change. Good thing I finally got around to getting an oil change. Thank God my car didn't stall on me. I highly recommend Midas in Hayward. read more

This was my go-:to Midas because it's so close to my house and I always felt that they were being honest with their pricing. But today I found out that I was mistaken. This Midas overcharged me today by $100 for a starter repair. I called two other Midas' for quotes and was told $520 including tax I paid $612 at this Midas. Unfortunately, ladies, this is yet another mechanic that feels the need to get over on us. The one in San Leandro is good but they're not open on Mondays. read more

I've been going here since late 2010, when I was still a student at CSUEB. I've never had any problems here, and I find it useful to book appointments for oil changes. Great, friendly service that I probably won't go anywhere else for the time being. Great to say I've been a loyal customer! read more

Dropped kids off to 4pm practice and told them Dad would probably have to pick them up because I had to see about a leak in my tire. I went down the street to O'Reily/Wheel Works that displayed business hours closing at 6pm. The employer was just finishing with another customer, left to the garage without even acknowledging I was in the room to then come back 5 minutes later to tell me I'd have to leave my car overnight just to even look at it. To this, I said No, thank you and made my way to Midas where I've taken my previous vehicle. Seeing that Midas closed at 5:30, I called while trying to get there to make sure they could even help me. On the phone, Midas guy did mention they would be closing soon but if I got there quick enough, they'd see what they could do. Once I arrived, they were ready to inspect the tire. It turned out to be patchable and I was able to pay and get out with enough time to pick up my kids at 5! read more

Great service! Brought my car in because of the brakes. Was able to go on a test drive with them so they knew exactly what noise I was talking about. Once they found the issue they explained everything to me and had my car serviced in about an hour. Appreciate these guys so much! read more

Came here hoping to get an oil change but I was turned away. Their Yelp says they close at 5:30 and I came at 4:40 and they said they were closing in 20 minutes and there was no way to fit me in and that all their staff had left already. read more

Went here recently for a nail in one of my tires. I was greeted right away by Curtis as soon as I got there, which was nice (unlike my experience at another Midas in Vallejo location previously). After about a few minutes of looking at the tire, he comes back to let me know that I didn't need it fixed or replaced since the nail didn't go all the way in. I was ready to pay but Curtis and Jason said i didn't have to pay for anything. Definitely makes me want to come back here when I do need something fixed or serviced for my car. I would recommend this place for my friends and family. read more

I came in today to get my wiper blades to be replace and the owner suggested me to go buy one and he'll install it for me. Instead of paying for his service, he didn't even charge me. I was shocked. I will definitely be servicing all my vehicle to this place from now on. He got my trust and respect. (I've been here before but this is the first time I'm giving them a yelp review) read more
