SpeeDee-Midas

The team at SpeeDee Elk Grove is the best. Especially, the service and educating me about my car needs. The leadership is great. I have been going there for the last 5 years… I have recommended to my friends and family. I will keep on referring.

I’m still fairly new to Elk Grove area… I drive a 3 series BMW and know that as soon as I need service it’s going to be pricey especially if I go to the dealer.
I only came in for an oil change and smog… but I had mentioned to the guy that greeted me that my passenger window would get stuck and asked if they could give me a quote on how much it would be to fix it. Once my car passed smog and the oil change was complete, they gave me an estimate that was waaaaaayyyy lower than the price I was quoted at another mechanic in the area. They assured me that they would replace the part with BMW parts and could do it within half an hour.
I left super satisfied and didn’t feel like I got ripped off like at other places. I will def. be back for future repairs and car maintenance.

I took my fathers car in for an oil change today, Sunday, and Speedee was open. I chose this location/​service station because it was convenient.
The receptionist was very nice and polite (I did not speak to any of the technicians, but I didn’t need too) I told them I just needed an oil change and they did not try to up sell me on anything. I was in and out in approximately 25 minutes. I S checked in on my Unilocal app and received $ 5 off the total.
Overall I had a very good experience and will look to use this shop for oil changes on my own vehicle in the future.

I have been having cars serviced at this location for several years. I am surprised by the low rating I see on Unilocal.I have always received very good service and the technicians have never tried to sell me more than I came in for.
Today my car was acting strangely, I brought it in and the tech spent 90 minutes diagnosing the issue. He gave me the bad news that there is internal motor troubles, but then to my shock and delight, informed me that since he cannot exactly tell what the issue is, I am not being charged anything.
So instead of giving enough to frame the charges as justified, he handed me my keys and thanked me for coming in. Also gave me the results of inspection to pass on to the dealer when I I take it for warranty work. I will return to this very honest and ethical shop

I thought to update my review as I thought at first my service was great! Until I heard a rattling sound and had to get my car checked.
Once I would start my car and slowly back out of my parking spot, I would hear a faint rattling sound. I asked my boyfriend to check it out and he said that I might need an oil change. I told him that I had my oil change the end of September but he insisted to get it checked as he’s heard that sound before on his old car.
When I got my car checked, it turned out that my oil filter wasn’t on tight enough and my oil was black. I told him that I had my oil done at this location and that I had purchased synthetic oil as my car has over 100K miles. He showed me that my oil is burnt and that they possibly didn’t use a good grade of oil for my car.
I’m disappointed that I paid around $ 80 (for what I remember) for an oil change and a little over a month I had to change my oil again (when typically I change my oil every 3 – 4 months; depending on how much I drive). The rattling finally stopped, but I won’t be coming back to this place.

Vary bad gay’s, bad fix and charge to much for nothing, I go there to inispcaton my car, they write (change oil for 20 $ inspaction free). They charge me 40 $: first they didn’t change my filter, second they charge my 15 $ for a light. Bad people.

Had a great experience at this Midas and all other Midas shops we have been to. We were here to get a second opinion and Gerardo was a big help. He gave us his recommendations and was very honest and knowledgeable. Upon his check of our vehicle he found the other shop was wrong in there check and we were able to proceed with the coolant flush we intially wanted. Thank you Gerardo for you help. We will definitely be back to a Midas in the future!

I was first «offered» a $ 15 engine flush service by the first greeter, who said doing the service will «extend the life of my engine.» I was next told by the engine bay technician that my vehicle needed a synthetic oil blend, a $ 60 service vs. standard 5W30 motor oil which is only $ 30. I asked to see the specifications on their computer and the technician said «see, it’s right there — your car takes synthetic. I can’t service the vehicle if I don’t go with the factory specs.» I said, «it says use synthetic only for extreme cold, which is –20 degrees Fahrenheit.» I said, if you read the paragraph just above, it says «5W30 is recommended for most climates». At that point, the technician said, «okay. we probably don’t need to do the $ 15 oil flush service since it says here that it would void the warranty.» I get the feeling these guys up sell on services you don’t really need. I don’t think the customer should be fact-​checking the experts. I won’t go back.

Amazing place. Gerardo helped me tremendously. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Very friendly, very knowledgeable staff.

I am very shocked by all of the other terrible reviews for this place– I had a great experience here.
My 99 chevy cavalier wouldn’t pass smog so I brought it to them. $ 150 for the diagnostic and they worked on it for quite a few days over a 2 week period.
My car still could not pass smog and the technician who was working on it wasn’t getting paid for all the time/​effort he put in.
They had the catalytic converter warrantied out, changed the alternator and re-​smogged and still wouldn’t pass.
When the worker (I wish I could remember his name!) told me how sorry he was that they were throwing in the towel he said that he wasn’t charging me for changing the alternator or re-​smogging and was acutally giving me $ 50 back in gift certificates for them not being able to figure out the problem.
I left very satisfied although my car didn’t pass smog but paying only $ 100 for all of what they did is awesome.
Definitely recommend them!

Dropped in here today for an oil change and had a great experience. Sandra and Justin were the best; friendly, helpful and informative. Justin went above and beyond for me to answer my questions about the type of oil that would be best for my car. He even went as far as to look up specifics on the computer to give me a more accurate estimate for the cost. On top of everything he even had Sandra honor my coupon for a «conventional» oil change, when I actually needed synthetic. Goes to show you how much I know about cars and definitely shows you that these employees have our best interests in mind. Oh and they even vacuumed my car and cleaned my dirty windows, filled my window washer fluid, checked my coolant and a bunch of other things! AND finished everything in about half an hour!
Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs the services they provide, you won’t be disappointed! :)

After having to make a stop at the shop in Elk Grove, we were impressed by the service and welcoming nature of this team. Another Midas did a poor job with our tires, and although he wasn’t required to do so, Justin went above and beyond checking us out. He found the problem, checked out our other tires, and did a quick torque check in the lug nuts. While we watched, another employee even cleaned the windshield! This was all performed with no payment to these guys, and while they had other jobs.
Was impressed with the service, and would definitely recommend Justin and the team. Thanks!

Excellent service you can tell they value their customers and take great pride in their work will never take my cars any where else

Great quick service! I had to get 2 vehicles serviced today. This place only took 20 minutes and the other place took over an hour! Plus the guys didn’t try to sell you on EVERY little thing! Quick and affordable! The staff were friendly and helpful! I will definitely go back and refer others!

Untrustworthy. Come here if you want to deal with shady mechanics that just want your money. Especially the mechanic jt he’s considered the «owner» really shady business.

They should change their hours to 5:55pm instead of 6pm. They wouldn’t take me. I think you should honour your operating hours.

Don’t come here. The young guys are newbs! They did my oil change and my drain plug were loose. I was losing oil fast and thought I had a gasket leak. Luckily, I took it to my mechanic in the bay!

Taking my car for maintenance oil changes can be a drag, but these guys sure make it easier. I’m In and out within 20 minutes, fair prices, and great service. I’ve been there several times and I’ve never had a problem with my car. Nonetheless, clean lobby with water and coffee is a definite plus.

They where ok, a bit pricey for taste. Not sure if I would give a 2^nd chance (oil change and smog)

Awesome! Come here! Don’t drive further !
November 2014, my vehicle was sputtering as if no fuel was reaching the engine. My guess was my fuel pump was going out and needed it to be replaced… (I was right) I barely made it to spee dee oil on a late Saturday afternoon. I asked the mechanic (Jesus) if he could confirm my assumption of a faulty fuel pump and he quickly did. I approved a pump and filter be replaced as well as an oil change and needed my vehicle on the road for work by Monday morning.
That’s what I received, unfortunately due to faulty parts from a manufacturer my vehicle was performing poorly only 2 weeks later.
Not in the Elk Grove area I had to be towed to the closest mechanic shop and they determined I had a bad fuel pump. It didn’t occur to me that this was possible since I just had the pump replaced, but I immediately contacted the Elk Grove store and asked what my options were.
The manager advised he had a sister store in my location that he could ask if they could perform the repairs. The other store did and determined the original part was not working, in addition to the old part not working the Elk Grove manger «JP» authorized a better more sufficient pump that cost me nothing to upgrade.
After a few days of repairs from the store in my area I drove my vehicle home and it runs better than ever.
I brought up the issue and inconvenience of the repairs being performed twice and dealing with the scheduling of a tow truck to the manger at the Elk Grove store, he wrote me a personal check for the expenses I paid for the separate diagnostic fee and the tow truck fee, over $ 200.00.
The dedication of the craftsmanship and personal customer service was enough for me to write this review … In lite of many others on Unilocal before me I would bring my vehicles back to this location and give this team a chance to prove themselves to the hard working people of the community they serve.
Thx to, Jesus, JP and the manger in brentwood for helping the working class get to work.
