Terrible. Absolute criminals. Twice I've taken vehicles there, been told things that were not true, only to have another mechanic not only tell me that the repairs they suggested were unnecessary, but also provide the services at dramatically lower prices than what Midas offers. Go to Kellers or John Gabriel Goodyear, don't give any business to these crooks. read more

The guys there were really friendly but I won't be returning. I got one tire replaced and it cost $162, never in my life have I paid that much to have a tire replaced. I was also told that I need a back tire and an alignment and all together that was over $400. I'll stick to Mavis from now on. read more

Shoutout to Charles and Albert! I recently had my state inspection done at the roxborough Midas and I was pleasantly surprised by the service. During last year's inspection, I was taken advantage of by Vince's autobody just down ridge (robbed of $700+ for being a woman without tools and in desperate need of a passing inspection) so I am very skeptical when it comes to PA inspection sites that conveniently offer automotive services. Regardless of my skepticism, I needed to get my inspections done so I went with a friend's recommendation and decided to give this Midas a try. Lucky for me, it turned out to be legit af. Charles and Albert provided excellent customer service and a timely inspection (AND they didn't try and rip me off due to my gender). Excellent customer service is a rarity these days so major props to these two gentlemen for coming through. read more

I went into this Midas for the first and last time this past Monday for an oil change and inspection. After waiting for two hours, I'm Told by one of the employees they failed my inspection due to a slight chip in my windshield and the entire windshield needed to be replaced for $300. Now, I've had the chip in my windshield for two years now and passed two previous inspections at my dealership and a Meineke with absolutely no mention of the slight chip from either one. I notified my insurance company about the issue and they sent someone out who filled in and buffed the chip within a matter of minutes for FREE. I went back in the Midas earlier today to show the windshield was taken care of and did end up passing the inspection after the repair and received my stickers. But the employee seemed very unhappy he couldn't get over on me and sucker me into paying for unnecessary work on my car and cold shouldered me most of the interaction. Also, during both my stop in yesterday and today I witnessed two other people visibly and verbally upset about the services they received. Absolute thieves who clearly try and rip off every customer that walks in. I wouldn't recommend coming here to my worst enemy. DONT GO HERE! I forgot to also include they got me on synthetic oil saying my car needs it. I asked a friend who knows a thing or two about cars and he said my car absolutely doesn't need synthetic oil. So they ripped me off for an extra $30. read more

I arrived timely for my 11AM appointment on Saturday April 22. An hour and a half later, I was still waiting. Other customers came, were served, and went. After having been greeted by the counter staff person, who presented me with a bill that was already an uptick from the advertised price for the service I had scheduled, the only contact that I had with staff was that after an hour, the manager approached me and attempted to upsell me with additional services. At that point, I was the only customer left on site. It is tempting to view the encounter through a lens of gender and age discrimination. I am a grey-haired 64 year old woman. One questions whether the treatment that I received was a function of a perception that they could afford to ignore me. So, there you are. Either the management schedules incompetently, or they are gender and ageist bigots. Pick one. Neither one gets you the service that you scheduled. read more

I had an exhaust repair completed here. Shortly afterward, I heard a rattle which seemed related to the repair. I stopped by and they realized a small adjustment was required to the heat-shield. They apologized for the return visit, made the adjustment a priority, and sent me on my way quickly without hassle or any additional charges. Fair enough - I'd go back again. read more

Great place to go if you want to be ripped off! The reviews before mine are correct in saying that you can expect to be taken advantage of here and told that things are malfunctioning and need repair that do not. This is another one of those untrustworthy chains that like to slam you with a laundry list of repairs even when you take your car in for a simple inspection or oil change. I was told that I needed to spend $699 to replace my struts, and - as any reasonable person would do - decided to get a second opinion. I was given attitude by the staff at Midas for telling them not to go through with the horrendously expensive repair. After going to a locally owned shop for a second opinion, to my surprise my struts are fine! All I needed was for my stabilizers to be fixed and a tire rotation and I still have my $699 no thanks to Midas. Couldn't be happier to have taken my business elsewhere. Don't fall for the coupon like I did. Do yourself a favor and find a reputable local mechanic instead. read more

I went into midas after making a appointment online to have my breaks looked at i decided to go to this one on ridge ave since i work up the street i figured i could drop off my car and walk back to pick it up the customer service at the front desk was nice i applied for a credit card and was approved for 1700.00 i did so that if i needed to use it i could i was having a noise coming from my breaks i normally take my car to the dealership every three months for routine checks i was just there 2 months ago my breaks battery and tires where all checked and the only thing that came back not green was my tires so when i heard the break noise i wanted to have it looked at the breaks only made the noise when i stopped hard i got a call from midas telling me that i needed both front and rear breaks and rotors which i couldn't believe due to not having any major issues before this and my dealership letting me know that my breaks where fine 2 months ago the rep at midas told me that i shouldn't use tire sine it could have a effect on my break system and cause issues i told him that the detail shop my car just came from was who applied that on and i don't believe that had anything to do with my breaks he then said it may not be the exact reason why but proceeded to tell me what i needed to have replaced for a whopping total of 1600.00 ! i let him know that i was not expecting to spend that much since i am the 1st owner of this 2016 and i have always kept up on the routine maintenance from the dealership i let him know that i would be coming to pick up my car he attempted to tell me that he would advise me to get the work done from them that my dealership wouldn't cover anything with my breaks i told him no because there last check didn't even place my breaks at yellow so i there is no way i could be down to my rotors in two months and still under the 3k mark for my next check up i would get a second opinion from the dealership he tried to tell me that i would need to sign something for the recommendations since i was declining the work that it would get worse by continuing to drive the car as if that would change my mind i had my car looked at somewhere else and all i needed was front break pads this place is a full of scammers ! beware ! read more

I brought in my car for an oil change. Next thing I notice, they are pulling tires off of the car and looking underneath. They proceed to tell me my rotors need to be replaced, gave me an estimate of +$400 and said they could sign me up for a Midas credit card before I could even respond. I declined the repair of the rotors and asked why they took off my tires and inspected other aspects when I never advised or agreed to it. They claimed its part of the service but never made me aware of that, and never did it any of the prior two times my car was in for an oil change. Felt like I was being scammed and taken for a sucker. A week later, I brought my car to my dealership service center who told me that the rotors were completely fine and did not need to be replaced at all. read more

Great guys there! My car is a piece of crap and I'm about ready for a new one. They're keeping it running for now. A little over priced than what I'm used to but I've had no problems with their service so far! Always friendly and very quick to get my car fixed! read more

Scam Artists who waste your time. First you have an appt and they make you wait to start working. Finally after telling them that I want my car back did they start working. Only to do the whole ... "man you got some issues, that need to be addressed." I came in for an alignment ($80) and they wanted me to pay for $1500 or repairs on my suspension system which did not need fixing, and brakes which had been done recently. Truth be told my sway bars needed new bushings (for my suspension)... which was a $150 fix- I took the car to the Auto Doc in rox who told me my suspension was fine (midas wanted me to replace my struts) and replaced the bushings. I asked Auto Doc to look at the brakes and they were fine too. the worst thing is... I watched them pull the same sales scam on two other people. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE! read more

Absolute crooks! Brought my truck in for inspection... And it was a complete disaster! They failed my truck for a multitude of reasons. 1. My rear rotors were rotted and they wanted $500 to replace them. The rotors are only $43/each! By the way, they weren't rotted. They, at most, just needed to be cut ($10 job). 2. Non operating fog lights. MY truck doesn't have fog lights! They tried to charge me $40 for light bulbs I don't even need. 3. Bad wheel hub. They charged me $500 for a part that's only $150 and 6 bolts to remove and replace. Other shop quoted me half. 4. Failed me for dirty brakes! Lol they want $39 to service my brakes by cleaning them. This isn't even a requirement for passing inspection! I said screw it and went somewhere else. Truck passed with no problems first time through!!! According to the other garage owner, the idiots at Midas work on commission. If they get someone on the ringer for a huge bill early in the day they can leave early. NEVER AGAIN!! NEVER EVER! If you don't know a lot about cars they will rake you over the coals. I am good with cars, very good, and I still got ripped off. Go somewhere else and save yourself the head aches. read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would. I had an appointment today for 10am. I was there on time and I was not seen. I had to head out to another appointment at noon. There is no reason that it should take 2 hours to get an oil change. OIL CHANGE! I asked when I got there how long it would take. The guy at the front desk said there are two cars ahead of me. I'm a regular person who doesn't know what two cars mean. When I asked at 11:30 when my car would be pulled into the garage because I needed to head somewhere else at 12 he said well there's one car ahead of me. I asked again how long is that because that means nothing to me. I reminded him that at 10 am he said there were two cars. He said well those were inspections. AGAIN I don't know time wise what any of this means. So you need to give me a time. He could not. He just kept speaking in circles about how many cars were ahead. 11:45 comes. I said can oil change be done in 10 mins because I have to go. It's been 2 hours and it hasn't even been pulled in! It takes them 3 mins to even get than answer then they tell me they can't do it. Mind you their all joking and laughing in the garage for 2 hours. So who knows what actual work was getting done. I just know my car wasn't in the garage. My time and my gas were disrespected. What's the point of the appointment if you aren't going to adhere to them. Their customer service is trash. And I work for a company that's big with customer service. I will never go there again. Which is a shame cuz I've been there before and service was great. read more

The worst. Such crooks. They are indeed overly friendly but I can guarantee they are slow and lazy, and that they will bring you in the garage and tell you you need to spend a butt ton of money to get back on the road. Don't listen and get a 2nd recommendation. I went somewhere else, somewhere honest, and saved myself 800$ and did not NEED to spend the money like they suggested, but it was recommended at my garage... For far cheaper. read more

I will never go here again after many years of patronage. I got my car inspected and the manager called me to tell me what needed to be done to pass inspection plus other recommendations. I specifically told him to do only what needed to be done to pass inspection and to not do the other recommended work. He tells me the total will be $600+ only to find the total cost is $954. They did work I never authorized. When my husband went back to demand a refund for me, the manager was a jerk and told him he was "talking down" to him and that he was "taking food off the tables" of the workers - even though HE (the manager) was the one who misunderstood what I said I wanted. They're scam artists, don't go! read more

STRONG warning to females going to this location alone and not questioning the service being recommended. I write this review after being a very loyal customer to this location for 6 years. I learned the VERY HARD way that they charge you for parts that they don't actually put on your car (i.e. purchasing ceramic brakes only to learn after less than 10k miles later a cheaper version was actually installed.) That they will not check your vehicle for recalls (because as they told me, it's not their job) before telling you your car won't pass inspection without $1500 of maintenance (then you do your own research and have to fight with the manufacturer for a partial reimbursement after the fact...because the manufacturer would have replaced it 100% cost free.) Oh and the best part they replaced my entire exhaust manifold and it failed a little over a year later, which again Nissan didn't care about because they were non manufacturer parts. When I called to ask for my records, I was unsurprisingly met with rudeness. I trusted them with every oil change, brake change, and major maintenance only to realize I was swindled out of thousands for years. Ladies, just don't do it. If it doesn't seem right, pick up your car and leave. Or you will end up with thousands in bills that could have been avoided. read more

They don't plan properly for appointments and started on my alignment almost 1 1/2 hours late. On top of that, they were not even remorseful about wasting my time. If you value your time, go somewhere else. read more

My son brought my highlander in for a state inspection at the end of september 2015. They said that the brakes would not allow the vehicle to pass. Being inexperienced he authorized the doings of the brakes. I was away hangin out in tokyo. The mileage on my vehicle was 47000 miles so i doubt it needed brakes. Well 600 dollars and six months later i'm hearing various noises when i apply the brakes. Since the 90 day warranty is up i guess i'm screwed. These guys appear to be nice but beware of wolves in sheeps clothing. i personally brought my darling brides toyota here for an oil change and i was warned of various problems which magically and suddenly appeared to be wrong with the vehicle. i politely told the "trusted" assistant manager that i would take care of them and left. When i left the parking lot a miracle transpired. The 3 major problems vanished. Maybe there is an evil orb hovering over the midas shop causing automotive systems to fail while in their possesion. I recommend they contact to local catholic church and request and excorism...... read more

I have dealt with Midas in the past over priced but had to have muffler work, it's funny how when you return none of your prior repair work is under warranty. They will find a part within a part to explain "it's not covered" . Well on 3/28/16 I needed exhaust repair, waited two hours for wrong part to come. Got impatience left took my car somewhere else & spent $226 less for same repair. Not only was the manager rude & arrogant, the service was bad. Watched another customer return 3 times within my wait time for issue that was suppose to be fixed. I asked for 800 # for customer service, manager wrote the phone # on a bathroom paper towel. I guess he called himself getting back at me. GO ELSE WHERE unless you have money to throw away & all the time in the world. read more

I can only speak on my experience with these guys, but they left me with a great impression. I certainly was not only glad I did business with them, but will confidently be back for any future auto needs. I think people need to understand that in most cases you're already arriving at the shop pissed off about something- in my case it was a leaky tire. Nothing to do with Midas or anybody else, just an inconvenience that forced me to adjust my schedule and end up at Midas. Realistically speaking, who heads into any service business happy that you're about to have to spend money that you didn't wake up thinking that you were going to have to spend? Long story short, it was explained to me by the mechanic that there might be a whole different problem with my tire than I was unaware of when I walked in, that might have cost me much more than I anticipated. I was immediately thinking "This is a bunch of BS...", because, again, who likes to spend money and the explanation of how the tire degraded and the new problem being presented to me seemed way too coincidental. I wasn't happy but I listened to the mechanic who was taking great pains to explain exactly what the problem may have been and how it may have originated. All of my questions were answered and I was very aware of the fact that it was within 15 minutes of their closing time and the mechanic was still focused and doing his best to ensure that I understood all of my options- and I'm sure he wanted to go home like we all do at the end of the day. In the end, it turned out that the actual problem was relatively cheap to fix, but I didn't know that upon authorizing them to start looking into it. What I did know was how much it might cost upon worst case scenario and exactly what problem they thought it could be in the worse case scenario. I'm not boosting these guys because I ended up saving money- I'm boosting them, specifically the Assistant Manager and the mechanic who did the work, because they took the time to explain the situation thoroughly and I felt that the attention was personalized. It's old school: treat people right, communicate and make me feel like you appreciate my business and I'll confidently bring my business back to you. They did their part, so I'll be back. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! I went for my annual inspection and was told my car failed and needed over $900 worth of work done to pass. I truly believe they thought they were going to get over on me cause I'm a single female. The following day I took my car to a trusted shop and was informed that my car does need two new tires (about $230) but everything else passed. Interesting. These guys are slimy. Don't waste your money like I did. read more

I made an appointment with this Midas for 8 am before work to get the oil change and tire rotation combo they have for $19.99 right now. My oil was changed, fluids topped off, tire pressure set but they forgot to rotate my tires. I went in at 8 am the next day (before work) and told them they forgot to rotate my tires and I would just like to have them rotated so I can get to work. The service writer told me he didn't have any mechanics available and insisted that I would have to come back yet again first thing in the morning to get it done. When I went in for service I didn't expect this to be a 3-4 day ordeal and I explained that I cant keep coming in because it makes me me to late for my job. When I asked to schedule an appointment for the evening he refused and said the best I could do was call because he "Might have a car in the shop all day". Do not go here, they mess up even the most basic of automotive tasks and refuse to right their wrongs. read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS LOCATION! Took my car in for inspection. After being looked at, I received a call from the manager, Charles. He told me that one of the tires had some damage and needed to be replaced, that the mufflers were "CRACKED" and needed to be replaced immediately, and that the struts in the front were worn and needed to be replaced right away. He told me the mufflers would be about $500 and the struts would be $699 after a $200 coupon was applied. After some discussion about it, I told him I needed to call around for some quotes before committing to spending over $1,000 on repairs. I called back 2 more times during the day to ask questions (about the work that needed to be done and why I wasn't given an actual estimate - which now I see that 's because he was covering himself by listing the parts as recommendations because he was lying), and each time Charles tried to push me into getting the "cracked" mufflers fixed immediately. I told him to stop doing that. On Monday, the car was taken to Monro Auto Service and Tire Center in Blue Bell. Upon inspection they discovered and even showed my son that there were NO CRACKS in the mufflers, and they put that in writing. I did think it was odd that Charles said they were both cracked. Moreover, while they said they recommended new struts because of the car's age, they were also not worn. They found no broken or leaking parts. Mind you, I bought the car with used with over 75,000 miles on it. Charles didn't recommend the struts then, and he/that shop inspected the car when I first bought it. This is not the first time Charles has tried to push me to spend money unnecessarily, but I do find his LIES this time to be disgusting. Repair recommendations are one thing, but blatant lies and creating a false sense of urgency to get money out of people really crosses the line. He also talked badly about other local mechanics stating they are terrible. I understand competition, but bad mouthing people is unbecoming and unnecessary. And how does he even know. Frankly, his words are libelous since I am certain he lacks first hand knowledge. The practices of this location are questionable and the manager lacks integrity. STAY AWAY!!! read more

DO NOT GO HERE. I had to visit this Midas location 3 times over a two week span to be told wrong information every time. This all despite me alerting them to the fact that there was a bigger issue at hand, which was ignored, considering the easy way out for them was to perform the same tasks and inform me there are no issues. My tire pressure light came on about 2 weeks ago, so I took it to this location to have them checked. As I recently had a lot of road work done on my street, I figured it could be a small nail in one or multiple tires. I made an appointment online and had shown up 15 minutes early. My car was not taken in until 10 minutes after my scheduled time (as there were no other cars in the garage) and the car was never even lifted off of the ground. I watched them lackadaisically check each tire, and then fill them with air. They proceeded to tell me that there was an issue with the sensor, so they reset it and sent me on my way. A week later the light came back, so I brought it back and informed them of the last visits happening and how I think it is a problem other than the sensor. This time they actually lifted the car, so I was expecting success. The car was in the air for all of 5 minutes, and I was told the tires pressure was just low....so they filled them and sent me on my way. Now 2 days later, the light returns on so I bring it back again. This time I tell them of both prior occurrences and insist that one of the tires has a leak or something of this nature. The car was taken in right away, they had it for 10 minutes, they came back and told me that there was nothing wrong. As any average person would do, I refused to believe this and I got in my car and drove it to a pep boys 3 minutes down the road (excellent service, I highly advise driving the extra few minutes and skipping right past this terrible Midas). They took my car in instantly and lifted it up. Within 10 minutes the mechanic came out with a nail coming from one of my tires.....hmm..........I thought Midas said there was no issue and that they checked 3 times?? The place downright stinks, they don't care. Through the cumulative slightly over and hour time period I was in the waiting room I witnessed below average customer services and the place is downright dirty. There is no care or effort put into the work done by this Midas. Only positive is that I was never charged for these checks as it is advertised as free. Free service that is not worth it....that's a first. read more

New to the PA inspection process. I called the day prior to clarify pricing because the coupon Midas sends out seems purposely confusing. Got a more exact price and went in the next day for oil change and inspection. I dropped the car off, one inspection ahead of me, went home and received a call three hours later with the results of the inspection. They had to fix one item and then I was ready for pick up. Had I been waiting at the shop the wait might have seemed long. Everyone was very kind and patient, they even let my pup in the lobby to pay. I'm not too surprised at some of the poor reviews since you feel trapped when you're getting an inspection and something needs to be fixed, but my issues are with the PA inspection process and not the shop itself. read more

Go here if you like being totally ripped off and lied to about what your car needs. Went here for an oil change and left with about $500 in quotes for things that I needed to get fixed. One of them was a nail in my tire that they said couldn't be patched so I would need a whole new tire. Luckily my tires are under warranty at Costco and after 30 minutes there they told me the nail didn't even puncture the tread and that I was good to go. Apparently it's okay to take advantage of people at this location. read more

I went in for an oil change couple months ago and they have a huge list of things I need to fix. Then I went in last week asking for a free tire check and the service advisor tells me "it'll mess up my numbers", specifically mentioning a $0 work order. He asks me if I need wiper blades or an oil change and I said no. Then he says "it sounds like Im doing you a big favor, and also were busy". That was really rude... Even Pep Boys I took my car plenty of times in and out without a hassle for a quick oil change or 'free' service. I can't believe he was so honest telling me he's worried about his numbers, but now I know not to ever go back since I know how little they think of customers. read more

HORRIBLE! I took my car here to have my tires replaced and the NEXT DAY my tire went flat. They claimed it was due to a corroded tire pressure monitor, but I was not made aware of this issue until AFTER I took the car back the next day. If you knew it was corroded when you replaced my tires, shouldn't you notify me of that before you let me drive away in my car, placing myself and other drivers at risk??? Extremely unprofessional, negligent, and unsafe. I will not bring my business back to this establishment and neither should you. read more

This Midas is a good place to come to for repairs to your car's exhaust system. I was happy with the service and Tim and Chad seem like really decent people. I needed a repair for my front exhaust pipe. After they lifted the car, they brought me into the garage to show me the pipe and how they could repair the broken part (as opposed to replacing the whole thing) and told me what the price would be. During the repair, they noticed another piece that also needed fixing/replacing, and they did this without charging me anything additional than what they had quoted me. I also liked that the price they quoted me included the tax, so that was the total price. Car rides much quieter now. read more

They do good work as far as installing new exhaust systems but what they charge for parts is way more expensive than at most other auto repair shops. read more

They completely ripped me off last year. I needed my car inspected and they said I needed $500 worth or work on it. Stupidly, I agreed since I needed my car right away. This year, they told my mom they couldn't inspect her car until she got about $500 worth of work done on it. Now some might say that's not uncommon. Well when both cars get exactly the same work done on them that's a problem. Unfortunately, my mom didn't tell me about this until she had them go ahead and get the work done. read more

Do not go to Midas for anything! I took my car there for a routine oil change because I had a coupon for $19.99 and the guy behind the counter tried to talk me into getting synthetic oil which would cost $80. I had to tell him no multiple times because he was so persistent. Then they call me about 5 hours later explaining that there were major issues with my car and it would need $950 worth of work done in order to be safe to drive. He told me numerous times that the car was not safe to drive and tried to scare me into getting the work done because "one more pothole could cause the wheels to fall off!" I told him not to do the work and I went and picked up the car. I then took my car to another trusted mechanic and he told me there was absolutely nothing wrong with my car! He said it did not need any of the work done that Midas had told me was necessary. Clearly Midas just uses scare tactics and comes up with fictitious problems to scam customers. read more

Charged me 70+ dollars for getting two tires mounted and balanced. Also let me drive away with loose lugnuts. Could have been a safety concern....that was not fun read more

I called the store Wednesday before the Saturday appointment to get a quote on the price of an oil change. I told them that I drive a VW Jetta so it is recommended that I get synthetic oil and it will need 6.3q rather than the traditional 5 q and I had a coupon so they could give me a fair estimate. After this estimate I decided to go to Midas because they were closer and roughly the same cost as the dealership (with my coupon). I waited about 1.25 for an oil change (early morning appointment) and then when I got to pay the bill was about $25 dollars more than the estimate I was giving that Wednesday. Additionally, the bill (without the coupon) would have been approximately $60 more than the dealership and when I inquired they could not give me a good explanation other than they use Mobile 1 oil. I feel I was grossly overcharged and was misinformed about the price and would not return to this business. read more

Midas 6750 Ridge Ave, Philadelphia is a joke. They tell you diagnostics is free, but to "READ" the diagnostic will cost you $108. I am very familiar with this OBD scan tool. Once plugged in to your car you select from a menu the Make and Model of your car then press the "READ button on scan tool to bring up any code for any check engine light that is on for any car. My daughter took her car there because it was close and not many other places for repairs were open on a Saturday and I was not in town to help her. She agreed to pay the extra cost as long as her car was fixed. They sent her away with the same condition that her car came in for repairs..."FREE DIAGNOSTIC SCAN" at $108... showed a #2 cylinder misfire only!... Midas recommended to change the 4 spark plugs... and the 4 coil packs that connect to each spark plug for $1200 which was not needed to correct the issue.. I told Midas and my daughter to change the #2 ignition coil pack and this will solve the problem. Manager got smart and said ".I dont think so" and told my daughter but I guess he knows more than me. So we have a misfire #2 coil pack,only, Mechanic switches the faulty #2 coil pack with the #4 coil pack,,, Now code says #4 cylinder misfire this is true because the bad #2 coil pack was put in the #4 pack position, The good #4 pack is now in the # 2 position, Mechanic removes and replaces the good pack and leaves the bad pack installed in the #4 position,and the car still is misfiring, only running on 3 cylinders, the same condition as it came in with..She was crying on her way home at a charge of over $300 the car was still only running on 3 cylinders of a 4 cylinder car,Daughters roommate called her dad he is also a mechanic, they explained #2 cylinder misfire and the swap by phone, my daughter's friends dad came in hand the next day on a Sunday with a new coil in hand from the parts store, he replaced the faulty #2 pack that was left in the #4 coils position and the car ran like it was new again. He brought his scan tool as well and had to erase the code fault with this tool another easy process... If this car was repaired from Midas?... why did they not erase the code which also removes the check engine light a very simple process.. Better to take your car to ADVANCE AUTO... they will "READ your code for FREE and tell you exactly what is needed. when my daughter's friend dad came out to change this bad coil pack, My daughter called me and said "Dad I could have changed this bad coil very easily but I did not have the tools"... This is easy..you remove the Plastic engine cover..2 bolts or 4 hex screws cover is removed... You see 4 big square packs on top of engine, (2)... bolts hold each pack in place.... Disconnect 1 wire connector plug and Pack is out, replace new Pack, car will run awesome again! read more

Worst experience I have ever had! I have never posted a review on yelp before but I feel as though people should know how terrible this place truly is. My husband took his car in last week for a routine oil change. A couple of days later there was oil leaking everywhere and smoke coming from the engine. He took his car back to Midas and asked them to fix the problem. Midas never called him to tell him what was going on with the car so my husband had to call them to find out. He was told over the phone that the filter was loose. When he went to pick up his car it was making a dreadful noise. He was afraid to drive it. Not to mention the car was still smoking. He went back in to speak to the manager and the manager then tried to say the car was making that noise when he dropped it off. Which was completely untrue! Midas tried to give my husband a quote for $250.95 to replace his Pulley and BLT Tensioner(Which have already been replaced by another mechanic.) Instead of trying to fix whatever the problem was the "so called Manager" shrugged his shoulder and walked away. This infuriated my husband! Unfortunately the police needed to be called. The police understood my husbands frustration and gave him the name of a good, honest, trust worthy Mechanic. Please save yourself a huge headache and take your car anywhere else! read more
