Came in for oil change and tire rotation, they told me my tires didn't need to be rotated and never put the air in my tires that I specifically requested and lied on the phone later when I confronted them. read more

Chris and Matt are excellent and helped me out with a car emergency. They were able to diagnose my car issue quickly and provide excellent recommendations and calm me down. Thank you so much! read more

I just ran into the shop to have them look at my wiper that wasn't working. Nebo I believe his name was, checked a loose nut and tightened it and that's all it needed. I really appreciated it especially at this time of year. Thank you read more

Nebo the manager is always responsive and organized. The shop is clean. John and Matt do a great job on maintenance and repairs of my two vehicles. Also, the value of the work is outstanding. I recommend Midas in Highland Park, IL. Dr. Steve K. read more

I've been going to these guys for almost a decade. They're the reason I'm able to hang on to my 2012 toyota and it's in such good shape. I trust their quotes and recommendations, and they don't overcharge. I've even stopped in without an appt so they can fill my tires :) They're a great location! read more

They charged me for a horrible job. They did an oil change. I drove off from Midas to get to my house. Once I got home. My brand new car with 15,000 my dashboard said my engine oil is low. So I checked several times even after an hour to see the oil dipstick. My car had no oil!! Terribly disappointed and frustrated. I check under my car there was oil leaking underneath my car. I called and told them about the situation. They didn't believed me said they had to talk to a manager first thing in the morning the next day. Mind that. Front service person i clearly told him my car had a turbo because he asked! I checked the paper it said 0W-20 when my car specifically needs 5W-30 since I have a turbo!!!! Really terrible job. I would give it a 0 out of 5. read more

I've been servicing my Audi Q5 here for years. Great service, friendly, timely and transparent pricing.

They were awesome tonight. I was driving by and my low tire pressure light came on. Noticed I had a nail in my tire. They in 10 minutes were able to pull the nail plug. The tire and I was on my way. Great service. read more

The guys at Midas are AMAZING. I have been going for 4 years but this year they outdid themselves. They went above and beyond and saved my engine. Nebo and John are very educated and know their stuff better than most mechanics. They are also friendly and helpful and listen and answer questions thoroughly. Five stars and 10/10! read more

BEWARE - they will lie about their oil change prices and will trick you into buying synthetic oil!!! Dealt with Nate Smith who was deceptive in selling a basic oil change - charged me double the price for synthetic oil and preyed upon an understand I had had with the last experience I was there. I was charged $45 last time and was now charged $93. DO. NOT. GO. THERE. When confronted about the deception, Nate lied and gaslit me. read more

BEWARE - We took our second car that is rarely driven in for two new front tires. I drove away and noticed it was incredibly dirty on the inside, then i noticed a bag of smoking tobacco next to me, then i noticed the mileage was higher, and finally upon reaching home a mile away saw the front bumper had been smashed in. The store isn't taking responsibility and has refused to share the owners contact information or take responsibility. He claimed it must have been a homeless person. We called national midas, filed a police report etc. Take your car here if you want a headache and some lying to your face. read more

DISHONEST. They said I needed to replace my tire because of a nail that they couldn't take out and patch since it was too close to the edge. I got a second opinion at Costco, and guess what? They took out the nail and patched the tire free of charge! Just saved myself over $200 and a lifetime of dishonesty. read more

The guys at Midas (Highland Park) have been super generous to me. Whether it involved regular maintenance or unexpected damage to the splash cover under my car, they have accommodated me with short notice and got me on my way quickly. I appreciate the service and consideration. read more

Excellent service and reasonable pricing. Customer service was great. They seemed trustworthy and got me in quickly.

Terrible experience. Anibal Martinez was short and rude and dodged questions about the service. They charge $140 for synthetic oil changes

These guys really know their stuff, and they're not looking to screw you over; Frank and Nebo, and every other staff member I've interacted with, are professional, thorough, attentive, and personable. I took my 2009 Prius to them for regular maintenance for about a year, and when I got a new car (2013 VW Passat), they were the first mechanic I went to. I had a lot of anxiety about buying a used car (based on extremely terrible past experience with deceitful dealers), and they listened to my concerns and reassured me, without speaking down to me, that the car was a good buy. They explained what maintenance would be necessary down the road, and they answered all of my questions seriously and thoughtfully. They are honest and run their business with integrity; I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

I've gone to this Midas in Highland Park, IL many times because it's the closest place to my house. I can drop off the car and walk home and pick it up later. There is a friendly staff and there are a couple of people that had work there that were pretty cool to chat with. That being said I would state the following based on multiple experiences at Midas in Highland Park, IL: 1. I'm not sure if it's policy, management, or the individual but the Midas in HP are very aggressive at trying to up sale you on additional services. If you only require routine service, be prepared to deal with someone pressuring you into paying for more services you may not need. When ever I drop off the car and receive the call back, the get the anxiety one would get when having to deal with a used car salesman. 2. If you reject services, sometimes your car may not be put back together as good as it was before. Meaning, we've had no problems with something but soon after "non service" something would happen related to something Midas inspected. 3. In some cases, you have to check to see if what they said they would do, they've actually done. I've asked twice, while the car was in the bay if they were going to do something, told "Yes, absolutely" only to find that it was not done at all. Before I get an oil change, I check my oil and filter so I know if it's been changed. I've marked my tires, to see if they were rotated and sometimes, they were not. You should not have to perform this kind of investigation before taking your car to the shop. There have been times where I've taken my car further way and paid more than the quote I received from Midas because of these issues. However, sometimes its just a hassle to have to wait while services are being performed or having to Uber home and back for lengthy services. In summary, if you intend on using the Midas in Highland Park, do your homework, know your car, check the work, and pay closer attention to home your car performs after service. It's rare that I take time out of my day to write a review, I hope this helps someone... read more

Absolutely wonderful service. I had an idea of what was wrong with my car and figured there would be more. They went over my car, showed me the issues and gave me an estimate in about 10 minutes. They told me what I needed for safety and what could wait, along with prices for everything. ZERO PRESSURE. They had it done within the same day and they DROVE ME HOME. AND, when I needed to get my car, they PICKED ME UP as well. This shop is clean and well-maintained. Manager, Nebo Martinez, is the best. I recommend this shop with enthusiasm. read more

Manager was helpful but was more interested in a larger sale than fixing a tire. My wife came in with a leaking tire on our SUV after running over something on Skokie Highway. We were told by Midas rep tire should be replaced in pairs versus fixing the flat. He told me the tires had dry rot and were not fixable. I was not prepared to pay $500 for a set of tires when the tread was still good. Dry rot sounded a little bit like BS to me. So I asked Midas to put the spare tire on the SUV. I paid them $30. Then I went to my mechanic for a second opinion where he patched the puncture from the inside and plugged the hole, remounted the tire and reset the TPMS for another $30. They were courteous at Midas and changed out the spare with no issues so three stars for that. read more

Midas - Tire showing where is was repaired. Not by Midas as they refused to fix it. They wanted to sell me a new set of tires. - Auto Repair Near Me - Highland Park, Illinois

These guys are ridiculous! They messed up AC repair on my car and when I complained here the response was to contact them so they can remedy. I did that, twice, some two months ago. Since then: Silence... read more

Bryant, the manager, was very helpful with his knowledge and communication to a person who is not very knowledgeable on cars in general. He was able to diagnose and fix a rattle in my car that I just couldn't figure out. I will definitely be making this my go to shop for life. read more

Went for a brake line fix at 7:30 am and was there for 9 hrs and ended up paying $100s more than the estimate.

Came in and asked for a safety inspection; got told I needed stuff done. I explain that I was financially not doing well; so the store manager helped me out and we got my repairs Financed it's saved me $1,500; also explained that I had a time constraint and I was told I'd be done before that time. The service was great and the the staff was friendly read more

Great Customer Service and staff is super friendly. I've had service at other Auto Repair shops which constantly push for unnecessary services. Midas Highland Park doesn't do that. They explain and show you what needs to be and what can wait. No pressure. I appreciate the service provided by their Store Manager Bryant. He was very knowledgeable and very helpful. Thank you for all your help and I'm definitely a returning customer :) Keep up the Great Service! read more

BEWARE read all the 1 star reviews before bringing your car for repairs here. After paying $160 for a "diagnosis" they installed only a new AC compressor. At first he quoted me $900 with labor only being $180 so $720 for a oem compressor. I bought the compressor OEM warrantied for $300 online. That's over 200% and well beyond a "fair" markup. Should of walked away at this point. I told them don't we have to do the drier, lines, etc. with it and he said no it didn't blow up just leaking we don't need to do that (which was wrong as my qualified mechanic found shrapnel). So I payed Midas to install the compressor and guess what the ac does not work after installed! I called 5 qualified mechanics and asked "would you ever install just an AC compressor" they all said "NO its industry standard to also install the other parts as they will almost always be clogged when a compressor goes bad and can damage the new compressor". Midas either knew this was not going to work and just saw it as a way to get extra labor costs or they are simply not knowledgeable enough to be doing these AC repair jobs. After it failed they want more money to take apart the car again and install new piece after new piece. It's all a money grab. I brought it to another shop. They figured out exactly what piece was clogged in under an hour and got it fixed and blowing ice cold that day! read more

My car got a flat on the way to work yesterday, expecting Midas to be booked for the day surprisingly Bryant said I could bring it over right away! He made my experience at Midas so easy and was so kind explaining what I needed and how much it would be! I really appreciate him and will be back if I ever have trouble again! read more

Beware. Went to Midas with an exhaust issue on an 11 year old Honda. Mgr. examined vehicle and determined that exhaust system required a weld between j-pipe and muffler, but otherwise exhaust system checked out fine. Mgr. estimated cost of repair (weld) at $400. Really? He later reduced estimate to $350 after I questioned high cost for a simple weld. This didn't pass the smell test, so I left. Vehicle was repaired at a reputable shop for substantially less. read more

I think that the employees at this Midas are friendly, courteous and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this location ask for the excellent bowler. read more

Had rusted flex pipe on exhaust on an old Audi A4. Took into Bryant and explained that I wasn't looking to replace the whole exhaust system since I wasn't planning to keep the car very long. He was familiar with the issue and was able to cut and weld in a new piece of pipe for a reasonable cost within 2 hours. Bryant the manager was pleasant, knowledgeable and easy to deal with and his team seemed to be very proficient welders. In and out within 2 hours. Good experience. read more

Went to Midas in Highland Park, IL for an oil change on an antique vehicle. The vehicle has a slow oil leak that I wanted them to check out as well, just to see if they could identify the issue. Had to purchase an oil filter online because this place could not figure out what filter should be used. That's well enough, but I still had to pay $101 for an oil change, which seems a bit steep to me, even with synthetic oil being used. This place indicated they didn't want to investigate the slow oil leak, which is also fine; not great but whatever. The real problem came when I was called to pick up my vehicle. It was parked out front, so they never showed me the oil level on the dipstick, as would commonly be the case. I drove home and checked the oil level, only to find the oil had been under filled. The oil level was filled only to the "add" line in the dipstick. I called them immediately, and the individual who answered was professional enough, indicating that I could bring the vehicle back and they'd fill it to the appropriate level. I drove back immediately, and the technician who worked on my vehicle was waiting for me. Instead of apologizing for wasting my time or gas going back and forth, which I would have totally accepted, his greeting was, "How much oil do you put in there?" I answered that I wasn't sure. His response was "Well, figure it out before you bring this thing back here." That put me in a different state altogether. I asked him if he was indicating that it was my fault that he under filled the oil, and the conversation quickly escalated from there. With all kinds of cursing, at me and about the vehicle, which I will not repeat here, just some of ridiculous statements I was subjected to included, "what do you care, we'd replace the engine." And "you obviously know nothing about business." And "of course I checked the dipstick. It probably just leaked out. You said there was a leak." In the end he added a full quart of oil, which would have meant that my slow oil leak turned into an oil gushing geyser that lost a quart of oil per mile driven. Overall, this was an unapologetically absurdly poor service experience laced with personal insults and cursing on their part. I let him know that I would be writing a review about the experience, and he replied, "Oh, I didn't know my business was based on good reviews." read more

I had a flat tire about two blocks away from this location. they took me in right away. during my wait I checked out the reviews on yelp and it was mixed. after reading more reviews I asked the person behind the desk if it was under new management, new mechanics etc. and they said yes. these guys deserve 5 stars they took care of me quick and price is reasonable. new manager new technicians...these guys are great. I highly recommend these guys. read more

I've been going to this Midas for years. They have saved my Jeep several times. Once in awhile I will get quotes from other places. Those others are always higher in price and seem to find 3-4 "other things" wrong. I always end up at Midas:( . The staff is wonderful, courteous, and knowledgable. Just went for an oil change, and as usual, they checked out the whole car for safety purposes. I always feel safe after visiting. Can't say enough! Victoria S. read more

This is probably the worst place I've been to in a long time. It took them 6 hours total to work on my car. They up-sold me on cleaning the engine and in the process mishandled engine cover so it was not tied all the way and the thread on one of the bolts was broken. But MOST important - they over-inflated rear tires. I have 17" wheels and tires combination and they used info from 18" wheels, so my back tires were at 45psi instead of 35psi. When confronted with this info they were unexpectedly rude. Overall I don't think they can work on anything above and beyond Toyota Corolla. read more

My car needed a very minor repair to the muffler so I consulted Yelp to select a muffler repair shop in Highland Park. There were two listed and both had bad reviews. I decided to try this Midas despite the bad reviews because of the name recognition. I called the shop to see if they would take an appointment and they don't. A few weeks later I took the car in on a weekday in the early afternoon. There were some people there waiting for their car repairs to be completed. I waited for someone to help me at the counter. After a while he finally showed up. He told me that he was busy right now and that it would be at least an hour before he could get to my vehicle and that I should come back. Ok that seems fair. I asked if I would keep my place in the queue. " No I would not"' he said. But if I come back in an hour there could still be an hour or longer wait. "Yes, that could happen," he said. "So you don't want me to stay and I should come back?" I said. "Yes" he said. I don't think he wanted my business at all. Even when I explained what he was asking me to do made no sense he didn't get it. He had a very take it or leave it and smirky attitude. I decided to leave it and remind him that he deserved every bad review that he had. read more

DO NOT EVER GO HERE!!!! I WOULD GIVE A 0 STAR RATING IF I COULD!!!! They will try to rip you off in any way that they possibly can! I went there to get an oil change when I was 16, and this employee by the name of Jeff told me that I have to tip him... I was getting my keys back and Jeff said, "Do you have money for the tip? The man who serviced your vehicle needs a tip." He went on to say tipping was customary & I have to tip him. I am outraged that he even tried to blatantly rip me off. A con like this is not a freak accident, but a reflection of how they conduct their business I am honestly surprised they are still in business, hopefully it is not for much longer. You cannot trust these people anywhere near your car... read more

I recently went to get brakes checked out on my car. I was advised that I need the front brakes (pads and rotors) and the rear brakes (pads and rotors) replaced. Given an estimate of over $1000. Took it to BMW dealer. Was advised that the brakes are fine! Beware these guys! They know not what they know not. read more

Went in for an oil change Saturday and was informed: 1. As there was a screw in my tire and the tire was patched 3 times, it could not be patched again. 2. Inconsistency in the thread on the tire based on his analysis, due to shocks. 3. New shocks required due to number 2. Cost = $950 I paid for my oil change and left. Called a garage locally in Deerfield (Shell) and asked for a patch on my tire and he recommended a rotation. The Shell garage did not see an inconsistency in my patched tire. Cost = $40 Although an oil change is cheap with Midas, they somehow point out weaknesses in your car go gain more business. read more
