Midas

The worst place you could ever go for an oil change. I go in for a tire rotation and oil change. you figure, what 45 minutes at the most right, nope hour and a half. Then get told my tires dont need rotating, do it anyway i say the mechanic throughs a tempertantuirm and the manage is sitting there patting him on the back begging for him to do it. im sitting there watching through the giant window mind you. he takes off and put the tires right back from where he just took them off. he goes to rotate the side im watching from breaks the nut. now i need to install a new lug nut. He cant even do it alone the manager calls over another guy. He explains to me that breaking the nut is the only option. I go in for a thirty minute oil change and tire rotation walkout with a new car repair. avoid this place at all costs

For an oil change, the price is right if you have a coupon. But for the second time in just over a year, I made an appointment & dropped my car only to return an hour later and find they hadn’t even started my oil change. I’ve been a customer for years and am very disappointed in the lack of service. If I had just dropped off my car I might understand, but how hard is it to honor an oil change appointment? Contemplating just spending the extra money on the 10 minute oil changes that I used to use. Not worth waiting 90 minutes for something that should take 15.

My girlfriend and I both brought our cars there to have the oil changed and the tires rotated after 8,000 miles. Long story short, they never rotated our tires and now my girlfriend needs to purchase 2 new tires. I called Midas to let them know they never rotated our tires and the shyster tells me they only rotate the tires if they need to be rotated. News for ya, after 8,000 miles — they were long overdue to be rotated, that’s why we went there in the first place! Never going to Midas on Rt. 4 ever again! Or any Midas for that matter… negative 5 stars for the shady bastard.

I caught a flat on route 17 on the spare donut i had from the previous flat i caught the day before, I barely made it to the shop when the gentleman told me they didn’t have tires for my 2004 honda accord in stock. I mentioned if i could at least get some air to fill the donut and he made it a big deal saying that they would have to pull me into the bay which will take awhile since they had cars they were working on. He was however kind enough to point me to the nearest Sears Auto Center but never gave up the free air to get me there. Bottom line — don’t expect them to over extend themselves and be helpful to the consumer. I’m sure as in every other business, all they care about are the $$$‘s. My safety and that of others was obviously not a priority for them.

The woman that works the register is always nice, and the guy who is sometimes there also works in Park Ridge and both of them are great. They will always call and always explain stuff if you ask. I come here for everything my 1994 Geo Prizm needs.

Like many of you I’m not a fan of the dealer, not to mention the place I bought my car from closed down a month after I bought my car… go figure!
So here I am left without a mechanic, and all the dealer’s around are a hassle to get to. Friend of mine told me about his experience at Midas and so I figured I’d give them a shot. Not to mention I can kill time at Home Depot and buy unnecessary things while they work on my car!
Dropped it off early in the morning before work to have them check the breaks. Got a phone call a few hours later stating the price which was lower than I had estimated. They were honest about rotor wear and pads and obviously I knew about the squeak in the brake… hence my visit!
An hour later I get another phone call that they had misquoted me because there was an issue with the rotor and that it would be within my best interest to have it fixed. It’s my brakes, I don’t really mess around with them and since they were al original parts on a three year old car I figured why not.
Very nice and friendly people helped me out, I would have given them 5 stars but my brakes started squeaking the next morning and I had to go back. All in all not a bad experience!

Honest and helpful. Highly recommend.
