Midas

Extremely helpful and friendly! They were so kind to me when my tire popped. Jim was great!

I would rather pay a couple extra and goto jiffy lube instead. as good as these guys are I would rather pay slightly more and get 2x better, faster and neat service.

I took my car here for an oil change last week. I asked them (rob & joe) to take a look at some other issues that were occurring. They called me within the hour with a price quote and which of the issues I had were serious issues & safety concerns. They were very honest with me, which I loved!
I took the car back again for a fuel filter replacement (per my dad’s orders who is a mechanic 500 miles away. No more free labor!) and they allowed me to leave my car there for free all day. I work DT so that was definitely an added amenity. .
Definitely recommend!

Took my Jeep in for an oil change using a Groupon. The folks who work here are really friendly. Everything was was explained before they started. The oil change with wait took 1hr (45min waiting). Overall, was a great experience.

Just went here for an oil change and rotation and I gotta say that the service was fantastic. Friendly staff and would take my car here and my wife’s car here if I need any additional services in the future.

Ask for Rob, he’s great and fair priced! Also, I’ve gone and said something might be wrong and he’s like you really don’t need to worry yet. How many mechanics say that? These guys know their stuff and are always pretty accommodating. I go out of my way to go to them just because I know they won’t jip me and are stand up guys.

Just like so many people have written in the past. Polite and friendly employees. Did a diagnostic for me. Gave me an approximate price of $ 800. I ordered the part from another location. Took almost three weeks. I went to the other location and they found that the problem was not what was originally found. I ended up paying about $ 300.

Midas messaged me a couple months later to discuss. I responded with my info. They never followed up.

I’ve have visited this location on a couple of occasions. Each instance has been reasonably priced, and the turnaround for the service work has been very fast. I have been treated well by the staff and the issues that prompted my visits were solved each time. I haven’t ever found their prices to be higher than other service stations offering the same general work (I have compared and gathered quotes in the past). I would recommend this location to anyone looking for tire service or brake work.

They were quick, thorough and fairly priced!

Awesome crew here. Rob is great… always explains what needs to be done and why. They keep my van rolling at an affordable rate. Safety always comes first. Will keep going and recommend to friends.

The folks that run and work at this Midas are great. They are professional and courteous AND resolve the issue quickly. They answer any questions you may have, always call promptly to let you know what they may or may not have found and when your car is «ready», and their pricing is fair. I use this Midas for all my car maintenance needs.

Started using these guys because they were close to my office. I took my car and my girlfriend’s car in for some very basic services. Not only was I overcharged ($ 100 both times for «diagnostics», c’mon!) but they broke more things than they fixed. Now I have to take my car to a reputable service station to clean up their mess. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place because you’ll come out of their «repair» worse than you were before.

I’ve got nothing but great things to say about this location. Kyle and Sean were amazingly helpful. From what they said, the previous owner was shady as they come, but these new guys are fantastic. I went in for an oil change, and in addition to that, they topped off the tire pressures, rotated the tires, topped off all the fluids, washed the car, and even buffed out a spot on my passenger side door from an accidental bump against a pole! Amazing! Highly recommend.

Had a Groupon for a Tire rotation, oil change and wipers replacement. Called them on April 14^th and told them my Groupon expired the 4^th would they honor it. They said they wouldn’t rotate the tires or change the wipers but they would take what I paid for the Groupon $ 29.99 and do the oil change which is usually $ 40.00 so I would at least save $ 10.00. When I got there the story changed and they were going to honor my groupon for the oil change (which they have to do anyway) and UPCHARGE me thet $ 10.00. I didn’t want to argue so I just let them do it.
They said it would take a half hour. I left and came back 45 minutes later. Only when the manager saw me did they FINALLY take my car back for the oil change. So an hour and a half later it was finally done. First they tried to upsell me for some axel repair. I think this is the M.O. for anyone who goes in for anything.
While sitting there I saw a guy having to wait an extra half hour because a filter they were waiting for was delivered to the wrong MIDAS. The delivery guy showed up and when they pointed out the customer the delivery guy apologized to MIDAS and ignored the customer who was inconvenienced. No one seemed to care about the customer.
Overall it was a bad experience. I could have gone to Jiffy Lube — paid less, spent less time and not have been aggravated.
Had they just honored the Groupon and treated me right I would have been a repeat customer instead they will never see me again. These people are so short sighted. It’s wonder they stay in business. Guess they scare people into expensive repairs and get their bottom line.
After I wrote this review — the Manager called to leave a message calling me a LIAR. That should tell you all you need to know.

Nothing but 100% positive experiences at this Midas! I’ve been having trouble with my brakes for some time (squeaking) and nobody can seem to figure out what’s causing it. I came here and was assured that they’d work on my car until they got to the root of the problem. We went through a couple sets of new pads, new rotors, and a lot of their time… they wouldn’t let me pay for ANY of it. I am so happy to have found a mechanic whose top concern is to fix my car, rather than to sell me products/​services.
Their customer-​first mentality has gone a long way in the short time I’ve been going here. I needed new wiper blades and didn’t think to go anywhere but here. I encourage you to do the same for all your auto-​needs.

I had squeaky brakes in Nov 2011 and brought my car in to another Midas (in Lombard). The brakes were «fixed» at the Lombard Midas, only to squeak within a month. I brought it back to Lombard, and they «fixed» it again, only for the brakes to squeak again within a month. I had enough and brought my car into THIS Midas (158 W Grand), and they were:
1) Very professional – They explained what was going on (I had been sold the lowest quality brake pads possible), and what could be done to fix the problem (change the pads at no cost, as they were still under warranty).
2) Timely – I was in there for less than an hour
3) Customer oriented – One thing that drives me crazy about fixing my car, even something as minor as an oil change, is the dealership/​auto shop trying to sell me additional repairs. That did NOT happen here whatsoever. They focused their efforts on what I needed, and this was very appreciated.
…All in all, well worth the 5 stars! They are my new auto shop!
**One other thing to note** The ownership changed hands less than 6 months ago, so all of the low ratings from the past are no longer applicable. That would also explain why the ratings have been overwhelmingly positive since.

Meh.

Went here after buying a Groupon for an oil change/​tire rotation/​new windshield wipers since it was close to work. I dropped off my ride before work and got a call later that day letting me know there was a problem with the fuel injector. My regular mechanic (who moved away) had mentioned something about keeping an eye on that earlier on in the year so i knew it was legit. So I looked them up on Unilocal and saw a 2 star rating, despite having some recent good reviews.
When I got to the shop to pick it up, they asked me if I wanted them to do the work, and I mentioned that the bad rating on Unilocal.Shawn proceeded to inform me that not only is this place under new ownership and management, but the entire staff there is new. He asked me if I noticed the good reviews since August 2010, which is when they took over, which I did, so I let them do the work.
No complaints with the work they did. They showed me the bad fuel injector and where it was busted and also showed/​explained everything they did under the hood. This will probably be my new shop.

I stopped in this week when after driving home from work my check engine light randomly came on. They hooked my car up to the diagnostics system and came up with a few things that could be wrong based on the code. But they then explained that none of these were serious and they were going to reset the light to see if it would come back on, meaning it could be bad gas (I had just filled up) or it could be something that would need fixing eventually.
Since I was there I had them replace a rear taillight that had also gone out that week. Total bill? 8 $. The staff was great and the owner (manager?) was super nice and friendly. They didn’t treat me like a dumb female, like the staff at a certain dealership I had the misfortune of visiting once. This is my new auto repair shop.

Oh my car is on its last leg and I am just trying to make it til the end of this year… I hear a growling, rumbling sound and freak out! I pull in here to see if they can check it out… I like so many others wished I would have checked Unilocal before pulling in here…
So they look at my car, which is super old, and basically tell me everything under the sun is wrong with it and give me an estimate of like $ 1200…hello people, that is like more than what the car is worth. I dont really care what is wrong with it as long as it stops the noise… so thank goodness I have a dad that is knowledgeable in cars and call him and basically, I end up agreeing to a bearing being fixed and two new tires…$ 594…YIKES! RIP OFF!
I love to how they try to show you what they are talking about. I literally told the guy he could be showing me something in Japanese because I know NOTHING about cars so there is no need.
Needless to say, the growling, rumbling, etc stopped so I guess they fixed it
