Midas

Walked right in, no wait, had my oil changed, no hassle. John also had his mechanic screw on a loose part that was hanging down in the front of my car for no additional charge.
Friendly staff — will be going back!

Do not take your car here. Dishonest and unprofessional. These guys including the area director Mark will misdiagnose and overcharge the entire transaction. I took my car in when I had some brake issues and Mark quoted me $ 1140 just to replace a master cylinder and then said I needed new rotors on front, flush and labor that goes with that. But in reality those rotors were bought and installed brand new less then 2 yrs ago. When i asked if they could be turned resurfaced he said they were below spec but he would check. He went into the office and reappeared with another invoice with turning the rotors and it was at $ 980. At that point I still couldnt believe it was so high so I asked about the cylinder they were gonna order and use and why they were charging me $ 600 for this part when I know the cylinders go for $ 150-​$ 250. He said they were ordering oem and thats why its so expensive. Yet when I called to check price of an oem it still was only $ 275. I called to ask if they could work with me that price because I felt thier markup was unbelievable and just plain unfair. Over the phone Scott I believe was his name who was the manager had said he could work with me on the price of the part –he is now not working there as he was let go in the last week. I dropped my car off friday and saturday they called saying to come pick it up but I couldnt get out there till monday. Monday rolls around and Im about to go pick it up and I call to ask about my bill price and he says knowone test drove the car till today and its not fixed yet. He says they installed a defective cylinder so they are ordering another one to try. So 4 days go by and knowones calling me. I call up there and ask about my car. Mark says now it needs a power booster that they cant find and the car is still not braking. At this point I ask about my bill and somehow its back up to $ 1140 for a car that has not been fixed. I decide that I dont want these guys touching my vehicle anylonger and I go to pick it up and pay but not a happy customer. When I asked about them workimg with me on the price of that crappy remanufactured part I know they used he refused to budge. I get home and decide to do the work myself. I notice that the brand new cylinder they charged me $ 600 for is leaking out of the resevoir where electrical line hooks in. I call them to ask if I bring them thier defective part back can I get a refund because its clearly defective and cheap. Mark told Chris the new manager that there is nothing they can do for me. So I paid $ 1140 for a bunch of bs and my cars brakes felt exactly the same from when I dropped the car off. As I started to fix my brakes myself It was easy to determine that it was the booster alone and the cylinder was not even the problem. I know this because I installed a booster and used my old cylinder that they had taken off. So overall, these guys suck completely thier life, job and work ethic, and it was the biggest ripoff I have dealt with in a while. Trust me when I say this company cannot be trusted and will try to make as much money off you as possible without regard for value and being honest. And if you try and complain they will just tell you that they are a franchise so you wont get anywhere except back to that Mark dbag. Next stop is BBB for me to report these crooks. Stay away!

I WON’T go back. I’ve been going there for over 4 years (since moved to Austin). Time before last, it was new people, I was treated very rudely. I went on so often, they told me to not worry about the oil change coupon I would always bring to save a few bucks, so I stopped bringing it and they always have me the coupon price. Thine before last, they guy charged me full price, I said they always charged me the coupon price, guy asked where my coupon was, I said, they told me to not bring it anymore. He honored the coupon price but said no more without coupon. I always got oil change, you’re rotation and overall car inspection. Up till this visit, always honest, and did a good job. The oil was low when I checked out a few days later when my light was on. Didn’t want to deal with them again so I filled it and went on about my day. So in a rush and not wanting to trust anyone else, I thought I’d give them a second chance. I go in without coupon beings I’ve decided to upgrade to synthetic. They simply changed my oil. Didn’t discover till a few days later they didn’t rotate tires or inspect as usual, like in the past 4 years. I called them and was informed I had to all for those services. I’ve never asked before. I definetly won’t go back.

I have had great experiences taking my vehicle here for several years. They have always given me an inexpensive oil change with tire rotation and multipoint inspection. They were honest about the condition of my vehicle and didn’t point out issues every time.

I’d have given 5 stars but Midas is a car repair place so it seems weird but this is a great, safe place where women don’t have to be worried they’ll get taken advantage of. I called Midas after having to get new tires due to uneven wear. The tire guys said I was out of alignment so casually it was as if I should some already known this. I wasn’t having any pull to either side but Austin potholes and road humps are sneaky. Wes got me in that day and was very decent when I realized this was my first alignment check on a 2008 vehicle and that’s probably not a good thing. Their prices seem reasonable and most of them are posted.

My car’s battery went bad at my job site, could not start my car, and I walked to this Midas a mile away to buy a new battery. Apprehensive about carrying a large heavy battery to my car, the manager there, Wesley Johnson, gave me a ride to the site in his own car. He was also very attentive when I came in to purchase the battery, glad Midas hired him. Will be doing more business with this shop in the future.

I will NEVER come back! Tried to over charge me by about a 150 dollars to change my back rotors and brakes. If my boyfriend who owns a shop in Mo hadn’t called and spoke to them about the ridiculous charges I would have been taken advantage of. On top of it I was the first person here at 7:30 am because I’m trying to leave town and it’s 10am and I’m still here. 3 people have come and gone, but I’m still waiting. It worked out because someone stood up to them, but I highly advise woman especially to stay away. Go to McSpaddens where they are fair and honest.

Will never go here for any service. Went in for very first oil change and tire rotation on my new truck. After a comment about it being 5:35pm and me cutting it close, I was asked about the type of oil I wanted. Being a new truck I was not sure. They tried to sell me on this synthetic oil the dealership uses. Backed with another comment about it being expensive. Not even a suggestion to check my truck manual, just straight to the expensive stuff. The whole thing was shady.

To expensive and I feel that the technicians are not honest with me.

I popped in to Midas today for an oil change and a tire rotation. I was very impressed by the level of customer service I received. I had a few issues and the staff addressed my issues quickly and got me back on the road. I highly recommend Midas for their expertise, honesty, and outstanding customer service.

Wow Jiss. Not sure if we are talking about the same place but I find this place to be very honest. I came in because my husband told me my breaks were going out and I drove it to work this yesterday morning. I could not stand the sound coming from my car and decide Sat. was to late for him to do the work. I called around and just over the phone Kevin was very helpful, his quote was higher than two other quotes but the feeling I got over the phone was it was worth going there. Thank God I was right.
I met with Kevin and had set me an appointment with Joshua. Joshua took off my right front wheel and really it was not my breaks the bolt to the Caliber had fallen out (come out?) (oh and before you say it I don’t trust mechanics so I watch when they work, that’s why the window is there). He brought me out and showed me. Instead of making me replace the entire thing he found a bolt and fixed it at no charge. Then he looked at my breaks said you can wait a few months before you change them. I said no lets get them replaced. I had him check my back ones and he showed me they were fine, although I would have paid to replace them I didn’t have to because they were trying to save me money.
To top it all off the interior of my tire had wires showing I would have never know had the caliper messed up. I told them that I didn’t have time to get the tires done today and Kevin got me a quote, and Joshua instead of putting the donut on the front of my front wheel drive then went above removed the back tire and switched them out. Sure it was a little timely but you dont go to a dentist and expect them to service your teeth quickly? Why rush the person working on the item that most dangerous weapon we all own if not taken care of properly?
This place I could tell just over the phone was not one that does that. I could have been charged more than $ 137.00 for new breaks and labor, way more. Thanks Midas, Kevin, and Joshua for taking great care of me and my Tweety. :) Loving the Midas Touch!

They will tell you multiple parts are wrong when it’s absolutely fine (they recommended changing my wiper after 1 week of me replacing it!) I took car to a competitor and they laughed seeing this list. This was close to an year back and all the parts they ‘recommend’ replacement still works fine. Total rip off.
They will over charge, I mean much much above the actual price for the part. Once you get the receipt just google /​of ask for a quote from a competitor for replacement of same part, guarantee it will be at least 30% cheaper. It was 5 times the amazon prize for the same
Part, same manufacturer. Also the one they used read ‘rebuilt’, on googling its a refurbished part! Take a profit but don’t rape the customer! Liars. Charging me 5 times more for a refurbished part!
The staff are friendly. They are not very helpful but friendly. Gave me a $ 30 coupon: D
Go into this place only if your car broke and won’t move right I front of this place. So save time and towing cost, just walk in. Any other scenario, run away and go to any, I mean any other place !

After getting a pretty expensive quote from Sears (per usual) I decided that I would rather take my car to Midas to get it checked out. I needed an alignment, and my brake lights also weren’t turning on which meant I failed my inspection. Not only were they reasonably priced, but they ALSO do inspections right out of the shop so I got ALL of my issues taken care of all at once. Talk about convenient! Super fast service, friendly employees, and absolutely rock bottom prices for the quality of work that they provide. I would absolutely recommend Midas to anyone needing car repair (or inspection, apparently!).

From out of state and wasn’t sure where to go. Glad for Kevin’s help and a quick in and out. Excellent service and great price. Would recommend for those looking for a good place. No hard sell.

Had to have a wheel bearing changed here. They were very honest and friendly. They didn’t do anything without asking, and when complications arose they explains and showed me what was going on. Also they worked really hard to fix it without adding cost. I would definitely recommend them.

Braving the bad reviews to get a slightly cheaper price on my muffler delete. I have no complaints, except maybe the price, which was $ 75. Sort of high for 30 minutes of work and a foot of pipe, but was still cheaper than Muffin Muffler’s quote. Car sounds good, and they had me check to be sure I was satisfied with the fit before they finished up. I would probably go back for exhaust work, at least.

Wow — I’m sold.
I’ve brought my car here a few times before and was always satisfied with the service. I always felt these guys are very honest and try to do the best they can without pushing the hard sell.
They do a great job for what they advertise, brakes, alignment, tires, batteries and routine maintenance items.
Derrick the service rep was very friendly. They have wifi and free coffee — I was able to office there while my car was worked on.
It was in for an alignment check. They rotated the tires and did a very careful and thorough job on the alignment. When I got the bill … 0 $ They recognized that they’d had my car in there for alignment previously — I didn’t remember. And even though it was a few weeks «out of warantee» they did the service for free. When I drove away the alignment felt perfect.
Honest — straight talking — great customer service. I’m sold

I’ve been going here for years. BJ is always helpful! I’ve sent several of my family and friends here as well!
PLEASE give this place a try

Took a 2002 honda accord for new starter… came in to pick up and total cost was $ 503.00 !!! Really? I said only 2 hours of work and its not even brand new… its rebuilt. They try to tell me that it was new… but i opened hood in front of them and this female showed them it was not new! They are liars and rip offs!!! over $ 500 for starter… crazy…John the owener is very rude and doesn’t seem to care is business is ripping people off!

I used them for routine maintenance. I was never really happy, but I thought they did an OK job. If often pays to have a second look to make sure.
Recently I’ve a bad experience which convinced me not to go back here. I wanted to have the tires replaced and the people at Discount Tires found out that a couple of wheel lugs were cross threaded, presumably from the last tire rotation (which was at Midas). The folks at Midas were agreeable to replace the lugs. After they did so, I drove the car home, and as I pull into my sloped driveway I discover the parking brake is no longer working. I take the car back, they reset the parking brake. All seemed to be OK.
I take the car back to Discount Tires to replace the tires, and the folks at Discount Tires show me that the three new lug nuts just replaced at Midas were not all identical, with one having the thread visibly stripped (presumably because it didn’t match the lug thread). Just to be clear, both the lugs and the lug nuts were supposed to be new to replace the previously cross threaded lugs, and I’m pretty sure it’s easy to pick matching lugs and nuts, and perhaps even easier to see that the three lug nuts are not all identical. You may be better off taking the car elsewhere.
