Midas

I recently had my car serviced at the 6^th Ave Midas and I’m quite pleased with the service and attention to detail. I am happy to recommend this shop to any of my friends or family looking for auto repairs.

Garry runs a good shop! They did a CV and Brake job on my 2000 Tundra and came in under quote, and had it done sooner then they thought!

Went in for a $ 24.99 oil change that was advertised on the sign. Was told that a synthetic blend was NOT included for that price. The price nearly doubled for that to $ 49.99 but I was given a $ 10 discount because I said the Honda dealer usually did it for $ 39.
Then the guy comes out and tells me I need an air filter and he’ll give me his «cost» of $ 28. I was in a hurry so I just said yes, even though I know he was BSing me. If that’s your cost, your getting ripped off too… lol!
So I sit there for almost 2 HOURS and finally get up and ask how much longer it’s going to be and the CEO starts to explain how HE doesn’t have my air filter in stock and his supplier said it would be a bit because it’s so «unique». I drive a Honda! Wtf? I stated I had been there quite a while already and this guy interrupts me and says I know how long you’ve been here, then gives me this half hearted apology, and seems annoyed that I’ve asked him to just put my old air filter back in and I’ll change it myself. At some point this guy even muttered about how Midas standard oil change time is 45 – 60 min. Yeah, I know how long an oil change takes. I’ve been getting them for over 20 years. And 2 hrs is no where near the normal or the «Midas standard». Here’s the issue I have, you don’t have the air filter in stock and have to get your supplier bring it, he tells you it may be a while because of XYZ and you don’t even inform me. Let me decide if I want to wait for it. Then when I’m checking out you ask me if if I still want to purchase it and you’ll call me when it’s in. Trying save the sale of the overpriced air filter. Unbelievable! But we aren’t done, you also try to sell me on a follow up oil change?! Ummm… that’ll be a NO! Oh and how can I forget, the waiting area is FREEZING! I’m not usually cold, I keep my house at 65 but it had to be 50 degrees or colder in there. The TV is older than dirt and I watched the same news cast repeat at least 3 times. A 32″ flat screen only runs $ 99 at Walmart. Update the area! My lesson for the day, just stick with the dealership service department. It’s more comfortable, priced fair (no hidden costs) and they have my car’s «unique» parts in stock. Oh yeah, I didn’t even get my inspection report!
