    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.

Henry, who must be the proprietor despite the name of the shop, is an old-school grease monkey who is plain-spoken and quick with a quip. He and his crew are thorough, polite and efficient. Here is the caveat: you are paying a premium for the service and "staying local," as the term is used. In other words, an oil change may cost a bit more at Sol's that. A Quick-Lube chain shop. That premium becomes pro rata higher as the repair becomes more expensive. I believe in supporting local business, and I am very loyal to Sol's, but the last time I went in and learned the a/c compressor needed replacement on my Lincoln, it would have been between $600-$1,000 more at Sol's than other shops nearby. (Sol's was $2,250; I found competitors charging anywhere from $1,350-$1,750.)

It was dropped off at 7:30am and was pleasantly surprised by a 11:30 pick-up call. Bill's quote for a starter RR was about $450, being a very good price as it would have been several hundred dollars more from a RV center and would be several weeks before they could get to it. The kicker being that it didn't need a starter after all, it was just a wire from starter to relay that need to be replaced, saving me hundreds of dollars more. Thanks, Bill, for your honesty and getting me on the road again.

I trust them implicitly and as a person who is not particularly mechanically-minded, that's really important. Bill who takes the work in, distributes the work to the great techs and mechanics in the garage, is a very kind and knowledgeable person and answers every question I have. 4th street takes my car in, checks it out, Bill calls me with the quote and good explanation of what needs to be done and why and when! I never ever walk away feeling like I've been in any way bamboozled, quoted for services I didn't need, or anything close to that. The other great thing is that since my car is a Hyundai hybrid (and one of my kids has an old old BMW) if there are things that 4th Street knows are specific to our makes and models that is not their area of expertise, they'll tell me that as well so I can take the cars to the dealership or BMW-specific repair places. This has only happened a couple of times but I definitely have appreciated that guidance from Bill and staff. A million thanks to Bill and 4th Street Auto in Royal Oak for keeping my car safe and on the road and explaining everything I need to know before any work is done. Plus, they are just great people to deal with every single time!
