    OEM transmission coolant line. Not full picture. I mainly added this show that the OEM material is METAL. NOT RUBBER.

    Do not get work done at this shop. If you're a mechanic, you'll understand why after reading this review. If you're not a mechanic, show this review to one and they will tell you not to go to this shop. Midas #6179 has been my go-to for oil changes for YEARS. After I totaled my last car, Midas was the first place I took my new car. I really only had oil changes done here, but I got a couple quotes from them every now and then if I was having issues. Larry and Julius made me feel like a regular, which if you're a female that is not familiar with cars, you know how nerve racking dealing with mechanics can be. I even kept their business cards in my wallet to recommend this shop specifically to all my friends and family. So this past Saturday when my car seemed to have blown up under the hood, I thought it obvious to tow my car to Midas! A mechanic agreed to do a full engine inspection, and Julius (manager) got back to me within hours like they usually do. One of my trans lines blew and drained my trans fluid. We talked with Julius and agreed to replace all three lines with OEM parts. It was Father's Day weekend so there was no rush of any kind on our end. Great business with Midas as usual...until we picked the car up. Whenever I get work done under my hood, I always bring my dad with me to double check. I'm glad he was with me because when we went to pick the car up Monday morning we found absolutely NO OEM PARTS, but just RUBBER TUBING as replacement for my transmission coolant lines. Julius' first statement was "those parts were discontinued." If they were discontinued, WHY would you quote us and agree to replacing OEM parts, and WHY on earth wouldn't you at least call to tell me that? After further discussion his story changed to "They weren't discontinued. They just weren't available the day of, but they are available today if you'd want us to put them on." Obviously with trust broken, we no longer want anyone at this shop working on my car. So after paying $814 initially that we couldn't get back, Julius gave us the OEM parts for no charge. We accepted the correct parts knowing my dad will replace the lines. He was a mechanic for 35 years. He could've done the job in the first place, but opted to pay the price for the convenience/reliability of a shop. As my dad and I are waiting for the correct parts to arrive, we take pictures of the tubing under the hood. We noticed that because it's rubber it will be constantly bouncing around, and it's touching hot metal at multiple different spots that could possibly burn a hole through the tube. We also noticed we could only see TWO TUBES. We were CHARGED FOR THREE trans cool lines. When questioned about the number of lines, Julius was not able to definitively tell us if the third line was replaced. He obviously just let this mechanic do whatever he wanted, and signed off on it. Over and over again, Julius just kept telling us "it's fixed! We fix cars! That's what we do! It's fixed!" But he doesn't understand that the car may be temporarily fixed, however it's the principle of the situation. WE AGREED TO AND PAID FOR SOMETHING THAT WE DID NOT GET, AND THEY TRIED TO GET AWAY WITH IT! This would've been handled if Julius simply called me on Saturday and told me he didn't have the parts. I keep asking myself "why didn't he just call me and ask??!" He also didn't even let us know when I picked up the keys and paid. He let us walk right out the door. If I hadn't had my dad with me, I 100% would have been downright taken advantage of. Just drove away with tubes and no knowledge of it, until they inevitably gave out. The most frustrating part is the lack of accountability. Julius made the situation so much worse by taking no accountability, and constantly gaslit us that we should just be happy it's fixed and running. He had so many opportunities to make this situation right, but he only continued to make it worse. Julius blamed the mechanic Steve(n/?), trying to get off on the technicality that he wasn't the mechanic that worked on my car. Even my dad said using tubes is something he would consider as a temporary option on HIS OWN car if he was in a pinch, but that's absolutely not what you pay a shop for. This whole review doesn't even mention all of the other little moments of dishonesty that Julius made while poorly navigating this situation. I feel extremely taken advantage as a 21 college student. It feels worse since Midas took the time to really make sure I was comfortable over the years and wouldn't question their work. Little did they know my dad questions everyone's works, and now I know why. I rarely leave reviews, good or bad, but I feel horrible knowing that there may be many other customers getting taken advantage of also. I will update this review depending on how corporate rectifies this situation within the 72 hours time frame they gave us. I really appreciate you if you took the time to read this whole review.

Their hazard insurance/certificate is a great value with pothole season upon us. My dashboard was continuously indicating one tire was experiencing low pressure even after adding air a couple times and another tire had a visible bulge on it. The Discount Tire team work on a rotation at the service counter. On my recent visit, I had the pleasure of getting the Service Assistant Manager, Tyler Baur. He indicated the bulge was most likely caused by hitting a pothole and the bulge was the indication of what was happening inside the tire. He got my other tire looked at and they determined there was a small piece of metal causing a slow leak that they were able to remove. My hazard certificate took care of replacing the other tire with the bulge. So, I received a $180 tire replacement plus a repair of the other for me to be out the door for less than $34. I'm confident and pleased that my tires are in a good and safe condition for the road. Thank you Tyler and Discount Tire!

It's now over ten minutes of trying to reach them and I'm on hold as I write this. Get a VA or answering service. You're losing business from frustrated customers like me. I've bought at least 4 sets of tires here but the service has gotten worse and worse over the years. I originally came here for tires in the winter but the lines were insane so I waited til May when I figure they'll be slow but it doesn't seem to help.

The same day car started squeaking. When I came back mechanic sent me away with a completely rusted out broken brake pressure hose, telling me that i could drive the car on the highway with no problems. The other mechanic I went to changed those, then rotors and pads, then the other wheel bearing. Nothing helped. Finally I drove by tire outlet and decided to give them a try. They looked at my car and gave me a price. The changed all the brakes hardware, but the squeak didn't go away. So the took the car back and worked on it until my brakes finally stopped squeaking. They didn't charge me a penny extra even though they ended up working on my car way more that they originally estimated. Thank you Tire Outlet!

When I requested additional areas be serviced, they looked into it and called back with a quote in a very timely manner. All work was completed quickly. I highly recommend tire outlet!
