Midas

WORST PLACE. BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD
So we were going home and heard a noise while applying the breaks, plus the car was wobbling. we decided to stop at the closest Mechanics place. It just happened to be Midas, they told us the rotors and the break pads were completely gone! okay, so we get that done and they charge us $ 416! FOR ROTORS AND BREAK PADS! We later were told this could have been done for $ 100 .
It really was sad because we were customers in need and we trusted them and they took advantage of us! It gets worse… the wobble they say was from the sway bar link and inner/​outer tire rods and needed to be completely replaced. wITH A bILL OF CLOSE TO $ 700. One headlight was off and they said that the whole light assembly has to be replaced because the wiring is internal and cannot be fixed, so the estimate for that was $ 250. Total cost of $ 950 now. Keep in mind they already charged us $ 416 for rotors and break pads … We decided to wait on this huge close to $ 1000 expense .
Well we read a few reviews and did saw horrible ratings so we decided to go to another mechanic and a friend. GUESS what — The headlight had a connector shot and got replaced for $ 40and we dint believe what we heard next. The mechanic said that the rear tires are wearing out completely and its causing the car the wobble. He actually brought us into their shop with the car lifted and rotated the tires by hand and we saw that the tires were no longer completely round anymore. (We had recently changed the front 2 tires the week before and had to get the rear ones done the next week Anyhow) We asked him specifically if there is anything else that is wrong. Anything, and they said no, then we asked about the Inner and outer rods and the sway bar link and they said that they are good and nothing wrong with them .We just looked at each other and felt hurt and disgusted by Midas as we realized how much they tried to fool us and gave a completely wrong information. Just to make money and cheat us they gave completely wrong information and not look at the problem .This could have been a disaster for us as the rear tires may have blown while driving (We all know what could have happened if the tire blew at high speed) and the mechanic didnt think about the safely concerns of the driver or anything else. All they wanted was Money and how to Rip us off .
By the way we got the rear tires changes from walmart for $ 200 and instantly — No Wobble .
To fix the car as suggested by Midas :
Change the Sway bar and inner/​outer tire rods — 700
Low beam of one Headlight not working — 250 (Including the new headlight which they said we have to buy from somwhere else)
+ Tire that we had to be replace soon — $ 200
Total — $ 950 + $ 200 = + 1150
WHAT WE ACTUALLY SPENT —
Headlight — $ 40
+ Rear Tires — $ 200
Total — 40 + 200 = $ 240
Wells the stats are clear and so is our decision. WE ARE NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER GOING TO ANY MIDAS AGAIN.

I’m with the other reviewer in wishing that negative stars were possible. After I brought my car there, there was a lime lodged in the engine. I know I didn’t put it there!
