WARNING!!!! Do NOT USE THIS MAN!!!!…read more Lorenz came to my home and told me I had a simple oil leak and towed my car to the "shop" on a Friday. We had some bad weather and he stated that they needed until Wednesday to complete the job. I paid him $40 for diagnostics and then $150 for the tow. Then sent $550 for parts. I also got a rental for 5 days through budget rent a car which cost me 500$ Wednesday came and it wasn't done. He said it would be done Thursday. I got the rental another day. Another $68 and $15 extension fee. Friday came and he said it's still not done. So after a week I have paid over 1k and it's not done. He promised it would be done the following Tuesday by 8pm. I returned rental that morning. At 9pm when he didn't show up he texted that he was done but there was still an oil leak. WHAT!!!!! He said he had parts and needed until Monday. Monday morning I asked him if it was going to be completed as promised and he said no. He needed til Wednesday. So 13 days he has had my car and it's in the same condition. I just had enough and sent a tow truck to their shop to get my car. When tow truck arrived it was at someone's house. They told me it was a mechanic shop. It's a random house on a sketchy neighborhood and my car sitting in front untouched with snow covering it still. He misled me as he had a shop. He just paid google bc he was the first to pop up. I trusted him and he lied several times. I am now at a mechanic shop hats legit and have had to get ANOTHER rental car for the week. This guy has lied and set me back almost 1500 and my car is in the same condition as it was 13 days ago. Do not trust him

I had a very concerning experience with Dayton Transmission Repair and would not recommend this…read moreshop. I brought my vehicle in for a rear differential issue that was supposed to be covered under a 12-month / 12,000-mile parts and labor warranty. This warranty was confirmed by my warranty company, which originally paid for the repair. Despite this, I was later charged approximately $450 in labor for work that should have been covered. The pricing throughout this process was inconsistent and unclear. I was initially quoted around $450, then later told approximately $1,600 over the phone, and ultimately charged $1,794.40. At one point, I was told that the cost to tear the car apart was "about $350 + tax," yet the final invoice shows $925 in labor, including a $450 "complex labor" charge. These numbers do not add up and were never clearly explained. The shop claimed my axles were "gaulted" or had "welded themselves" to the differential, requiring replacement. However, I was never given a clear or consistent explanation of what actually caused this or why it justified the additional charges. Even my warranty company attempted to get clarification and was unable to receive a clear answer. I was also told that no further work would be done unless I agreed to the charges, which left me in a position where I felt pressured to approve repairs without a full understanding of the total cost. When I asked questions, communication became unprofessional. I was called a "terrible customer," told I was being petty, and had calls ended on me. The owner was rude and dismissive during this process. After retrieving my vehicle, I discovered an issue in the fuse box area that was not present before service and is now causing electrical problems. This has added further concern about the condition in which my vehicle was returned. This experience was marked by inconsistent pricing, unclear labor charges, poor communication, and a lack of transparency. I would strongly advise others to ask for clear, written pricing and full explanations before agreeing to any work.

I had a very disappointing experience with this Midas location…read more I brought in my 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter because there were damaged wires and harness wiring underneath the vehicle. Before bringing it to Midas, I already knew the wiring was damaged, and I had temporarily connected some of the wires myself just for testing. I never considered that a permanent repair. That is exactly why I brought the van to a professional shop and paid them to repair the wiring properly. Before they started the work, I asked them many times about how the wiring would be repaired, especially the wiring related to the ABS/wheel speed sensor harness. I specifically asked about the connectors and whether the wiring needed the proper connectors instead of simply being connected together. Each time, I was assured that they knew what they were doing and that it would be repaired correctly. I waited more than two weeks for the work to be completed. In the end, I was charged $750.97, including $660 in labor for "REPAIR ELECTRICAL WIRING." When I picked up the van and started it, I noticed that the same warning lights and errors were still showing on the dashboard, including the ABS-related warnings. I questioned them about it again, and they told me the wiring had been repaired correctly. They then suggested that the ABS/wheel speed sensor itself might need to be replaced. To be clear, my complaint is not that Midas did not replace the ABS sensor. My complaint is about the wiring repair that I paid them to perform. What was especially frustrating was seeing that the same temporary wiring/connections that were already there when I brought the van in had essentially been wrapped and secured. I brought the van to a professional shop and paid over $750 because I expected a proper professional wiring repair, not for my temporary test connections to simply be secured and returned to me. About one hour after picking up the van from Midas, I drove it directly to a Mercedes-Benz dealership to have their technicians inspect it. Mercedes-Benz inspected the vehicle that same day, and I received their paperwork the following day. Their written inspection states: "Main body harness and wheel speed sensor harness is cut and not repaired properly." This is important because I did not drive the vehicle around for days or weeks after leaving Midas. Approximately one hour after picking it up, I took it directly to Mercedes-Benz, and they inspected it that same day. I asked Midas many times, both before and after the repair, whether the wiring was being repaired correctly, and I was repeatedly assured that it was. After waiting more than two weeks and paying $750.97, Mercedes-Benz inspected the vehicle almost immediately afterward and documented that the harness was "not repaired properly." I have the Midas invoice showing what I paid for the electrical wiring repair, as well as the Mercedes-Benz documentation showing the results of their inspection immediately afterward. Based on my personal experience, I am extremely dissatisfied with the quality of the work I received for the amount I paid, and I cannot recommend this Midas location.
