    I can't say enough good things about this establishment and its owner, Bill. Let's face it: most of…read moreus are afraid to go to a car repair shop because we think we're going to be ripped off. That's not going to happen here. Bill is as honest as the day is long. It's the kind of place you can send an almost 80 year old widow and know she's going to be treated with respect and dignity and with the utmost fairness. And I know this firsthand, because my mother is that widow. She drives her car down from Chicagoland to be serviced by Meineke in Bourbonnais. That's how good and trustworthy these people are. You have a lot of choices when it comes to getting your car fixed. But you simply aren't going to find some place better than here. If you need your car looked at, don't hesitate to visit, and tell them I sent you.

    Unless this place has changed or possibly changed ownership, several (i.e., more than two) bad…read moreexperiences I had here in the past--admittedly/honestly I had a few good experiences too--the details of which I don't care to get into because so much time has passed since, would cause me to never take our cars here for servicing again. In reconsidering, I'll relate just one of those "bad" experiences: After one of these "bad experiences" (a brake repair gone wrong), I was forced to take the vehicle up to one of the few Meineke Care Care Centers that had a good service rating, located in a suburb north of Chicago. After the Cook County Meineke fixed the brakes issue, the owner confided in/to me that they had fixed what was essentially a butcher job by the Bourbonnais Meineke shop. This was a vehicle--a "dangerous" vehicle after the initial brake "repair"--that we had given to our daughter and son-in-law and that much of the time had our two precious young granddaughters as passengers. In all fairness to the owner of the Bourbonnais Meineke, he attempted to make amends by giving us a $25 gift card to the Olive Garden. Needless to say, we never used it. The 5 star reviews, outnumbering the (6 or 7) 1 star* &/or 2 star* reviews, would attest to a fair amount of good experiences from a "lucky" group of patrons, so, (as Dirty Harry so sardonically said) if you're feeling "lucky", . . . -- [* The 1 & 2 star reviews--I advise you read them; there's some real horror stories in there. And owner Bill does have what I'd describe as a very unctuous bedside manner.]

    OLIVET PARENT REVIEW…read more I'm a skeptic by nature. When it comes to how I view mechanic shops, I always assume they are crooks and liars until they prove otherwise. WOW! This Midas location proved otherwise 10 times over! We had a VERY intermittent problem with our A/C and we were 8 hours from home for a visit to Olivet. Jim (owner) and his team didn't brush the problem off just because they couldn't reproduce it. They dug in and kept going until they thought they had found the issue. We drove the car that evening and the intermittent problem happened again. I knew that when a problem is that sporadic that it is very difficult for a mechanic to diagnose, so I was not upset with them, but I expected for them to be frustrated to see me back the next morning. There was no frustrated, but a smiling, warm welcome and immediate empathy with me that the problem was not resolved. (AJ at the front desk is simply amazing!) They spent the day digging in again and by the end of the day were confident they had figured out the problem -- and they had! On top of it all, they could have charged me for a lot of labor for those two days of work, but Jim was so kind and I walked out having paid much less than would have been reasonable. My experience here was not simply based on the service rendered, but the interactions with the owner and team convinced me that I had a shop that were dedicated to honesty and fairness; wanting to build relationships, not grab dishonest bucks. My daughter will be beginning her freshman year at Olivet this Fall and this is where she will be taking her vehicle for maintenance and service. Thank you, Jim, AJ and the Midas crew!

    I was a regular customer for oil changes since they remodeled their shop and made an actual waiting…read morearea for customers. I went in for my usual oil change recently. The price of the oil change was reasonably priced since they were having a sale. After this procedure I was informed that my day time running light was out ( I was aware) they offered to replace it, I asked how much, I was told since a difficult process to replace the bulb it would be $100. I reluctantly decided to have it replaced. After it was done ( didn't take too long) my car was ready. The light bulb was $100 but the labor was more than the light bulb! I was not told about the labor charge, because I was led to believe the whole thing was "$100 . What a dishonest practice! I didn't notice a price chart nor did I look, since I trusted them. Never again! How do you people sleep at night, doing this to your customers? I will not be returning to your shop, for anything again.
