Midas

I shopped around and found that Midas was reasonably priced to change my brakes out. Earlier in 2015 (April) I visited on a Saturday morning and what I thought would be an easy change of pads on my 2014 Nissan Altima, would end up being one of the worst experiences I could ever have with any retailor, shop, restaurant.
I was told that I needed all 4 brakes replaced and one of the rear brake calipers was damaged so I ended up walking out paying about $ 700. That included an oil change, air filter and the 4 brakes.
On my next oil change service I opted to take it back to my car dealership (because I had complimentary oil changes left) and I was told that the oil filter I had on my car was not the correct one and my oil was leaking. I didn’t pay much attention to it and went about my business.
several months later and nearly 15k miles more on my car I took it in for another oil change service and I was told that my rear brakes needed to be replaced?!? why? how? Turns out the dealership said that I had 1 mm remaining and urgent attention is needed. I asked how that could be if I replaced all 4 of them in April (now December) and the technician said that it was impossible to have your rear brake pads go out before your front, especially with the amount of mileage on my car. Nonetheless, I proceeded to tell the technician that they were indeed replaced. At that point I was advised to return to the original location that serviced the car and that place was this Midas.
After several attempts to resolve this dispute (3 weeks) I never heard from the company or this location. I have never felt cheated and placed into danger like I’ve felt going here for business. Small Claims court is my only option at this point despite providing documentation from another certified technician at a dealership showing the inspection. No one else has touched my brakes since and I have had no action taken to resolve the issue. Fair is fair and unfortunately, the business practices at this establishment are disgusting and malicious.

DO NOT TRUST THIS ESTABLISHMENT. *Not to mention, I also didn’t get my rebate and I have all my documentation and copies.

I have been taking my car for service here for the last 2 years, the service is great. The prices are reasonable and it is conveniently located. I would recommend asking for Manny, he is very knowledgable!

They are the most honorable repair shop I have ever been too. Dave and Manny are the best. They are honest and will help you whatever way they can. I highly recommend this location, you can Trust them!

PLEASE READ! I when in to this Midas to had an oil change on my Audi TT and it was very pricey anyways so I payed, A day later the cover from the bottom if my car dropped while I was driving on the freeway I almost crashed so AI pulled over to the side and all this rocks and trash started to hit my car do to the plastic cover picking up all the rocks and trash so one of this lil rocks hit my windshield and did a Lil Crack like a line so I was very mad so I drove to midas in la puente I had to take the streets and drive very slow cause the cover was falling so when I got there I told them that they did not put the cover correctly and that it came of in the freeway I have pics of this incident so the manager took a look at it and started to ask my if I was off road or what very unprofessional rude comments I couldn’t believe it cause when I came in there were all nice. So I responded how the hell was I going to offroad with this car so from that point I got nothing but rude comments from the manager I was just in shock I also told him that when I pulled over on the side of the freeway a rock hit my windshield and did a Lil Crack witch is a line on the windshield so he told me how in the world is that going to happened that it was impossible. .By that time I was very mad and I told him do you see all the rocks that my car collected in under the cover and he said yes but what does that have to do with your windshield I am telling you this people are ok and generous when they do the work and charge but something happens they are totally something different I have never left a bad review anywhere but this people treated me like trash and they also told me that they would not cover my windshield that it was a lie… I will never ever go back to this dam place two faces people sucks cause the manager is Mexican also am I. I know race has nothing to do with it but just the way I was treated was very very disappointing… I have pic of everything.

This is the ONLY place I bring my car. I’ve been bringing my 08′ Mercedes C300 here for over 4 years now. I trust Manny, and his staff is always very polite and informative. I bring my car here for all of it’s needs– tires, brakes or A1/​B1 services. I’ve shopped around and the pricing at this location is very competitive if not cheaper. I’ve never felt like they tried to oversell me on anything, on the contrary they tell me if I can hold off on anything for a few weeks/​months before it really needs to be addressed, this is something I really appreciate because it gets expensive! I really like the life time warrantees they offer too!. All in all, I trust this shop because they’ve always done a great job and I feel peace of mind knowing that my car is being worked on by people that know what they’re doing.

Midas does an excellent job and good service, but most of all the prices are responsible. That’s why I drive from Rialto to la puente for the awesome service that Manny gives. I recommend Midas to anyone.

Back when Manny was working in Azusa, my parents would take their cars over to that Midas for any issue they had. They trusted Manny and were pleased with the service. When he moved to a new location, my parents followed so they can continue doing business with him.

I have known Manny for about 10 years. I used to go to his previous work place and when I found out he was opening his Midas, I immediately followed him. Manny has always been an honest person and doesn’t try to sell you something you don’t need. I have recommended family and friends they are happy with Midas. I would recommend anyone to Midas.

Hi! So I have been coming to this Midas ever since I started driving which has been about 6 years now and before that my mom was bringing the car she handed down to me. The car still runs great and that’s saying a lot considering it’s a 2002 Chevy Malibu that was previously used as a rental car. The guys there are hard workers. The pricing is very reasonable. Same day service for most. Come here to get your car checked out!

I’ve been having my car repaired by this Midas for many years. Manny always does a great job at explaining what needs to be fixed and what can wait to be fixed later. He knows his stuff, and he always answers my questions to the best of his knowledge.
The pricing is always reasonable. I always say — you get what you pay for so beware of random auto shops.
I hope not to have issues with my car soon, but if I do I know I’ll be coming back here.

I’ve always taken my cars here FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS now. I would go straight to Manny for any of my problems. He always hooks it up.
I’ve never had any issues with his service. Always honest and reliable when I need him. The price of an Oil Change on my types of cars has always run more than $ 130+ it being a V8 Luxury Sedan and requiring Synthetic Oil.
Manny has always hooked me up under a bill easy! Try going to the Dealer and get taken up the ass with a $ 500 oil change with flushes that I don’t need. Manny once lent me his own personal truck because I had to leave my car there unexpectedly.
I was referred to him by Party Bus Entertainment/​KMFG IND.
I live over one and a half hours AWAY AND IT IS ALWAYS WORTH THE DRIVE TO SAVE THE MONEY with someone I can trust.
MANY THANKS MANNY.

Midas has been taking care of all my cars for the last 8 years now and in every case its been a really good experience. No one likes taking their care for repair or routine service i get that, but Its still something that needs to happen. Rather than go to the dealer and pay their ridiculously prices, I bring my cars here.
Their prices are right and the service is fantastic. Talk with Manny when you go, he’s right on point and wont steer you wrong.
I remember going there last month and talking with other customers while we waited for our cars. These guys had been working with Manny for 15, & 20 plus years. They come from cities near and far all because they wouldn’t trust anyone else but Manny to take care of their cars. That’s just something you don’t hear anymore, but it made me feel even more confident in my decision to keep working with Manny and Midas.

Plain and simple, no one likes getting repairs done on their cars. It’s never an enjoyable experience, but I can say the staff and environment at this Midas are great – very friendly and eager to help. Every repair that needed to be fixed was throughly explained to me by having the mechanic physically show me each area that needed work. I got an oil change a few weeks ago and was told by a mechanic at a different company that my breaks needed to be replaced, but when I went to this Midas, they told me I could go another 10,000 miles. I appreciated their honesty, instead of just trying to add-​on another repair for extra profit. The waiting area in spacious and not over-​crowded. I would recommend!

Update — I have now been coming here for years. Super honest and reliable mechanics. They never try to tell me anything bogus. They are way less expensive then these unknown names around here and they always have guaranteed work. I will b coming here for a long time to come. Xo

Wow! Slow service very lazy employees. Oil change with my car being serviced. TWO HOURS! Never again

My first time was September 2013 afer leaving the Honda dealership which was asking for some $ 300 to do my brakes. Midas replaced them for under $ 200. I went back today for an oil change– semi synthetic oil, tire rotation (free with oil change), ac and cabin air filter change all for $ 85. The service is great and they didn’t try to push any other services on me. So far so good hopefully it will stay this way.

This place is a rip off. This is one of those places that give mechanics a bad name and why I should have driven over the hill to Whittier to go to my regular mechanic. The guy Earl is constantly trying to upsell you with services you do NOT need. Two years ago I brought my car in for an oil change and Earl is like, man you need front brakes badly, talking about safetly for the family. Do i have kids in the car, ever… That kind of stuff. So i said go ahead and do the $ 199 life time warranty, you never have to worry about brakes again. Of course the brake job costs $ 278 because of rotors/​drums, whatever. I am thinking damn but at least I never have to worry about it again; Nationwide.
The next time I go in there for the «cheap» 19.95 oil change, He tells me the same thing about my back brakes. This time I am like, well let me see them and when I do, I hit the roof. They are more than 80% there. Almost new but then he changes the story to the fact that its not the amount but there is a small crack in the base of the material. This guy must use a microscope because there is barely a small crack. I talk to a mechanic freind and he said that they are OK. I tell Earl that this better not happen again.
So two years later I take in my car again, the front brakes are about done. Time to recoup some of that LifeTime Warranty but guess what. The warranty only includes the pads [which you can get at AutoZone for about $ 20]. There is a $ 75 fee plus turning the rotors and drums if needed [and they always need it]. I go Ape Shit, everytime i fix my brakes its going to be about $ 200.
I have never brought my car into Earl without some other life threatening catistrophic pending damage looming about my car. He is a hoax and a liar and should be avoided. I want to try anohter Midas to see if its a Midas thing or an Earl thing. I am guessing its going to be Earl.
If you find an honest mechanic, never let him go. Being around these con artists is a major stress creator and who needs more stress!!! NOT ME.

DONT COME HERE… They claimed that my engine oil needed to be flushed and was black… But I knew for a fact that I had that done one month prior… Then all of a sudden a bolt was missing and a crack appears on a machine under my hood… BUT IT WAS NEVER THERE BEFORE…
THEY WILL MAKE THEIR OWN MINOR DAMAGES SO YOU CAN PAY MORE!!! Don’t ever come here

The only reason i came here was because of living social. I should’ve checked the reviews on here first but my mistake. This place deserves no star for their shitty service. The first time I came in with my mercedes, I knew I would have to pay extra for fully synthetic oil. I did my research and asked how much they charge with the coupon of 30 dollars off. They charged me 60 and i asked if i could come in with my own oil that i can easily purchase at wal-​mart for less that 40, they said no and gave me attitude about how they gotta make a living too. i totally understand that but it’s not like i got the coupon for free. i basically paid full price. anyways, my expensive oil should get me about 5000 or 6000 miles to go. but on their sticker, they said to come back after 4000 miles. its past 4000 now and i asked a german auto tech place if my oil is still good, and he laughed and told me MIDAS was only trying to get me to come back sooner and pay more because i was still able to drive for another 2000 miles. HA, they’re a joke so DO NOT come to this place. Listen to everyone below.
A few months later, I gave this place another chance and told my sister to come here with my coupon, she wouldnt have to pay extra for her regular oil. We made an appointment, came late, and was asked to wait 2 hours… JUST for an oil change. I already knew we would receive a horrible attitude for using a coupon to save money. An hour or so later, they checked our car and told us the AC was running on little to no freon and we had to replace it. Immediately after we agreed to get the service, their attitude changed and they couldnt wait to be best buds with us. I hate fake people so im definitely never coming back.

The reason I went there is I bought a deal from living social. 3 oil changes for $ 30. At first, I thought it’s pretty good deal. Guess what? They sent me a poster card like 6X10. It’s a piece of paper said free oil change, free check engine light, free tire roation, free brake adjustment, free flat tire, blah blah blah… total value $ 1000. (I was like bs) It also said will charge for $ 3.50 oil disposable fee and other fees. This is rip off because I paid for a FULL oil change. Why do they need to charge you this and that. I will upload the post card so you guys can see it.
Back to the story, I went there first time, the guy told me they only accept an appointment. Okay, so I went home and called them. They schedule me a week later on a certain time like 1pm. I went there next week. As I arrived there, I told them I had an appointment for oil change. They told me that they didn’t have any oil. They needed to order oil from other company. (I was kinda pissed) I asked them when will the oil be arrive. They said: I don’t know, but I will call you as soon as oil arrive. WTF. This Midas at La puente is gay.
