Midas

Took my car in for 2 tires to get put on. In which they broke my sensors. They didn’t call me, they just put them on (WTF).
They denied it of course and said they were already broken. My Land Rover would have notified me (chime or a dashboard light)… They said we’ll cut you a deal on 2 sensors significantly less than the dealer… It was too…
But for some reason now my dashboard lights are going crazy now, I take it to the dealer and they tell me, those are the wrong sensors (WTF) … Now they say they can’t help me, cause they threw away the old sensors… Wouldn’t trust them guys with filling up my gas tank…

Stopped on a road trip after running over some debris on the interstate. Could not have stopped at a better place! Everyone was very nice and extremely helpful, especially Dimitri and Chris! Wish we lived in Aberdeen so this could be our regular mechanic!

I can’t even begin to say enough about how happy I was with the service here.
The oil pressure indicator came on in my car yesterday while I was on the way to the train station in Aberdeen. When I got to my stop, I called Midas, explained what was going on, and that my return trip would put me back in Aberdeen shortly before they closed for the day. The owner told me to bring the car over, and they would hook it to the computer to read the codes so we could schedule service.
When I got back to the station (later than expected), I called to make sure it was still good to come over, since it was only 2 minutes before closing time. They told me to bring the car in, and they’d take a look. So, I did. The light was not on when I started the car or when I got it there, but, they checked it, and checked the oil level. They found the problem to be that there was not enough oil in the engine to even register on the dipstick, but, they also found no leaks in the system (which has me questioning the place that did the last oil change). Even though it was after closing, they stayed nearly an hour to perform an oil change, then took the car around the block to make sure there were no further issues and that the light didn’t come back on. Having had an engine seize up due to lack of oil where the indicator never came on (thanks, Honda), I was lucky, and glad they were able to handle this for me so quickly.
In talking to the owner of the shop, they want to leverage their proximity to the train station to offer commuter friendly service by offering pick up /​drop off of the vehicle at the station, as well as text messaging to let owners know what they find and to get authorization for repairs. That, alone, tells me they’re as committed to customer service as they are in providing excellent mechanical service.

Friendly, understanding. Fast service, no problems with repair. They took time to understand what I needed gone and provided the best solution. Would absolutely make a repeat visit.

I’ve been to this location several times. The first time I had the AC recharged and an axle replaced on a ’97 Lumina. A pressure test was performed to see if the system had a leak. Supposedly there was no leak. All was good for a few weeks.
Returned a few weeks later in late May because the AC wouldn’t blow cold air. They put a black light on it, you guessed it, it showed residue on the underside. I was quoted $ 750 for parts and labor (almost $ 500 for the compressor). I had them replace the spark plugs and wires which cost me $ 100. I thought it was fair price for labor (provided my own plugs and wires).
I did some shopping around for the compressor. With little effort I found the part at Auto Zone for $ 220. That’s a savings of 127%. Found a mechanic to install the part, 45 minutes, $ 80. Lastly, I took it elsewhere to have it charged $ 80. The AC works great and I saved $ 400 by not using Midas.
Midas is good for basic work like oil changes and of course their specialty mufflers. But I would be cautious about using them for more complicated problems with your auto. Lesson, have a trustworthy mechanic you can call.
The staff at this Midas was both courteous and polite. They seemed knowledgeable, but that is questionable.

They gave us the best price on two new tires and installation in the area. Did a great job!
