    After oil change, they don't clean up

    Speechless, you be the judge of the images. Also prepare to wait 4+ hours here even with appointments.

    My receipt from Midas showing everything "wrong" with my car
    Ashley A.

    What a joke! I got a Groupon for a full synthetic oil change and tire rotation for $35 - which was a steal! Customer service was crap, Alberto couldn't be bothered to get off his phone while I waited at the counter and the other agent was on the phone. Finally got assisted, with an attitude bc I didn't want to provide my address for "promotional mail." My appointment was at 3:15 (I arrived a little early), the car didn't go into the bay until 4:08pm and I finished at ~5:20. I JUST had my Honda serviced by my trustworthy mechanic in June for my 90,000 mile service and everything was changed, topped off and inspected. No problems!! Got told (by Alberto at Midas) "we didn't really find nothing wrong with your car except your brake fluid is contaminated." Then on the receipt I noticed I, apparently declined ... a timing belt, a water pump, brake fluid exchange, coolant exchange and a fuel induction system! Lol ... won't ever be back!

    They literally broke my transmission, now because of their overfilled transmission oil change it's going to cost me $8000 to replace and they refuse to pay for it. They are trash and incompetent don't to anything on your car at this place. RUN AWAY.

    They changed oil in my 2021 Nissan Murano. Turns out they didn't tighten the oil cap, and the alternator failed with only 19K miles on it because of this which I needed to get replaced because of them at the lowest cost & I shopped around of $1,185.34 out of pocket. If they don't refund me, then I'll be seeing them in court.

    Tony took me in at the last minute for an oil change, even though they were still quite busy just before closing.

Higher viscosity leads to higher pressures which lead to seals leaking and failing. I'm really surprised you haven't researched this. How about the leaking oil filter a day after install? Seems like a sure way to get more money outta a customer once their engine gets starved of oil. How about the sloppy work with oil left all over my car? Lack of care and integrity. How about the scratches from resting my tires on the paint of my car? Lazy and inconsiderate. Pulled from the article that copied and pasted "Engine Design Changes: Newer Toyota engines are designed with tighter tolerances and specific lubrication needs that necessitate these thinner oils, such as OW-16 or OW-8." Exactly my 2019 Lexus ux250 is a newer Toyota engine if you weren't aware , so why are changing it?

    I cannot say enough good things about this repair shop and, especially, Francisco…read more My vehicle was originally stuck at the dealership service center with an open invoice that had to be paid before they would release it. When Francisco reviewed the invoice, he immediately spotted erroneous charges and argued on my behalf to have them corrected - without me even asking. I showed his email to several friends, and even they were shocked by how thorough and professional he was in pushing back. That alone earned my trust. Francisco personally picked up my vehicle, coordinated everything seamlessly, and had an entirely new engine installed within a week - which is incredible considering the scope of the work. To make matters even better, he later removed a charge from my estimate because the actual cost to him was less. Who does that? That level of honesty is rare. From start to finish, this shop demonstrated integrity, efficiency, and genuine customer advocacy. I never felt taken advantage of, rushed, or kept in the dark. Francisco treated my car - and my money - as if they were his own. If you're looking for a shop that is skilled, ethical, fast, and truly stands up for their customers, this is it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone, and I will absolutely return for future work.

Tom Ergun is a paragon of all things virtuous; Max is unfailingly driven by customer satisfaction; and the technicians behind the glass screen, well caffeinated and ready to hoist unruly beasts like mine and tamed cabriolets alike to get their respective services done. I have now clocked 184,000 miles on Da Brute, my manual 997.2 C4S Coupe, and I am about to head northwest to Oregon and Washington State before turning eastbound to New Orleans. Knowing that they are on my side, doing what they can to keep me safe on the road, makes owning Da Brute truly a pleasure. And when push comes to shove, the Brute delivers. Recently, it clocked 140 on the speedometer on I-25 from Albuquerque to Denver. What a blast it was. Thank you again, Select German Car Service. You matter, and your service is truly, deeply appreciated. Professor Mustafah Dhada

    Select German Car Service - A Hidden Gem for Porsche Owners…read more Tired of the endless wait times and lack of transparency at local Porsche dealerships, I decided to explore other options for a simple oil change. I took a chance and posted a project on Yelp, hoping to find a shop that could treat my car with the respect it deserves. After reviewing responses and chatting with a few contenders, I landed on Select German Car Service--and I'm so glad I did. From the moment I arrived, I knew I'd made the right choice. Max, the owner, greeted me warmly, and the technician, Mel was clearly someone who understood the value of a well-loved Porsche. The shop itself was immaculate--organized, professional, and filled with stunning Porsches of every model, color, and vintage. It felt more like a showroom than a garage. What truly impressed me was the care and attention to detail. The technician covered my seats, opened doors and the hood with precision, and handled my car like it was his own. That level of respect is rare--and deeply appreciated. While my car was being serviced, I took a scenic 1.5-mile walk to Better Buzz Coffee for a little exercise and a fantastic cup of coffee. By the time I returned, my Porsche was parked, gleaming, and ready to hit the road. She looked just as gorgeous as when I dropped her off--and purred like a dream on the freeway. No upselling. No drama. Just honest, professional service at a fair price. I'll absolutely be returning for future work on my other German vehicle. Huge thanks to Max and the team at Select German Car Service--you've earned a loyal customer.
