Midas

I would highly recommend the Midas next to Olive Garden in Greenwood. They checked out the car for no charge and then quoted us a price that was about 300 less than the dealer had try to tell us it would be, and when the went to put the part in it was the wrong size and they had to bring in another one that was MORE expensive and they did not charge us the difference. It was for a air system blower motor.
Excels in Customer Service! Go see them!

Please don’t go here, you’ll get ripped off. My AC wasn’t working so I went here to get it fixed, they told me after a system check all I needed to do was to get the refrigerant refilled and reset the system, I paid over $ 100 and the AC never got cold. I took it in 2 weeks later and said it wasn’t working right they pretty much told me too bad and told me I’d be $ 700 to get it fixed. I left pissed off and went somewhere else where they fixed the problem for $ 170. Guy in the office with the retarded Chevy tattoo on his arm needs to learn how to be decent to customers, very very rude. Will never go back to a Midas.

I am sad to see some poor reviews for this particular location. It’s the only place I go to get my oil changed. They’ve always been speedy, and they’ve always done a thorough check on my car while my oil is getting changed.
I got some brake work done about a year ago because I really needed some new brakes. I already knew what was wrong with my car, so what they told me was not a surprise. They did a great job on my brakes, and even though it wasn’t cheap, I knew it would’ve cost the same price anywhere else.
Being a woman, I am always afraid that I’m going to be taken advantage of. With this particular location I have never felt these guys were trying to take me for a ride (pun intended) as far as charging me to fix something unnecessary on my car.
They have always been super friendly to me. As a matter of fact, after my break job, I came home to discover that I had forgotten to take a coupon for some money off the brake job. The manager was kind enough to offer me a few oil changes in exchange for not using the coupon at the time of the sale. I thought that was pretty fair as well as cool. I was happy and content with that solution.

Avoid this shop. They are shady and will rip you off.
There was a squeak whenever I stopped in my Santa Fe. Thinking it was the brakes, I asked them to look at it and they said that it was actually the rear wheel bearing and gave me an estimate for just under $ 500. I hesitated, and they offered to throw in rear brake pads for free. This week, I took it back in because it’s been making a road noise since they replaced the wheel bearing. On Friday, they were busy, and so I told them I could leave it overnight for inspection in the morning. The man I spoke with, Nate, said «We’ll look at it at 7:30.» At 11:45, when we still had not heard anything from them, we called. They’d had it for over 4 hours and hadn’t called us!
They said the previous work was fine and that we actually needed new struts, shocks, and tires. The amount quoted over the phone was well over $ 1200. We went to pick up the car, and discuss the estimate. I asked if the wheel bearing could have caused the road noise/​new problem. Butch, (I believe he is the manager) said that a wheel bearing causes squeaking or grinding when turning, and has nothing to do with road noise. I told them that it had never grinded or squeaked when turning, only squeaked when braking.
It seemed shady so I left to get a second opinion and was told that my struts and shocks are fine, and that my car needs no work now, only new tires by winter. I now believe that the shop not only tried to rip me off today for over $ 1200, but ripped me off previously for $ 500 by doing work that was not necessary, as it was most likely only brake pads that were needed, not a wheel bearing. I was a longtime customer, but will never return to Midas in Greenwood.

My car broke down while driving from North Carolina to Chicago. While my son stayed with the car I ran the last half mile or so to this Midas shop. Butch quickly dispatched 2 techs to bring the car and my son to the garage.
They were able to quickly diagnose the problems and even find the parts needed for my ten year old BMW locally. Additionally, care was taken to show us what had failed and explain the fix that was underway. Finally, after repairs and a test drive were complete a written explanation and the old parts were given to me for my Chicago mechanic.
I know that we were unbelievably lucky to have found this shop in the middle of a crisis. Prices were fair and service went beyond any reasonable expectations.

Now, this place is pretty typical in many ways; the staff is gruff but knowledgeable, they do quick work if you’re waiting, and they get paid on commission. Now, that last one, there’s the rub. A quick story, perhaps.
I’ve been going to this Midas for a while to get my oil changed, tires aligned, and other low-​maintenance things I should probably know how to do myself. They were great for this. I’d bring a book, turn down the TV in the waiting room, and would be on my way before I knew it. But then, one day, my car was in a more dire need – that is to say, it wouldn’t start. Now, all of a sudden, Midas was able to locate dozens of life-​threatening problems my car had which I’d known about and gotten checked out by reliable mechanics. Without getting too slanderous, I had reason to distrust their diagnoses. It took around six phonecalls to just get them to do the minimum required to get the car running again and not to save my life. Even then, they held on to it for almost a week.
To offer a contrasting view. My roommate has brought her car to them for over a year and has nothing but praise for their honesty and efficiency. Maybe I’m just paranoid or unlucky.
