Midas

First off I want everyone to know this is not some personal friend of the owners but a real customer. The first time I needed work on my Jeep after braking down I stopped at several places. I knew what the problem was and knew what I needed done and also roughly knew what price should be. This shop was not the cheapest price I got but judging by the look of the shop it would be the best fix I could get. I was right they did an exceptional job and they were very friendly. And the price was very fair. After the work was finished I was on my way and even though they did a great job I hoped I would not be back. Well things didn’t go as planed and almost 8 months later while off roading in the area I again broke something on my Jeep and again I knew what I broke and didn’t even think twice about where to take it. When I got there they were getting ready to close for the day but seeing how all I needed was a starter and they had one they agreed to do it for me before closing. As I sat in the lobby I began to get light headed and felt dizzy noticing me not looking good Julie (I hope I got her name right) noticed me and came out from behind the counter and sat down across from me. (Ps. I was with my Dad who didn’t notice a thing) she asked me if I was alright and if I needed to use there restroom to run some water on my face. I did she started walking with me to the restroom and had also called some one from the back to help too. I at this point did not know how bad this was about to get for me but she recognized my angst. As we reached the bathroom it really hit me and I collapsed on the floor un-​able to see or stand back up. My heart was racing and I really felt like I was dying. I was suffering from heat stroke. I apologize but I don’t remember the guy’s name who stayed with me in the bath room while Julie called for an ambulance but he couldn’t have been better either he got my arm under my head so I could breathe and kept pouring water on my neck, wrists and back of my legs, they had also got a fan on me and stayed by my side comforting me telling me an ambulance was on its way. By the time paramedics arrived I had already begun to feel better thanks to all they did for me. I can’t thank them enouph for they not only fixed my Jeep but quite frankly saved my life! I highly recommend going to them first over any one else not just because they fixed my jeep again. But they truly do care about there customers! To all who helped me while I was there … Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

Bar none one of the most helpful car places I’ve been to. I was passing through and had some major car troubles (oil spewing out of engine from a faulty seal — thankfully pulled off to get coffee and saw it). They took me in close to the end of the day — repair was cheap. Shockingly cheap. I was on the way to a conference in Vegas and they saved my day. You guys rock. Thanks so much!!!

We stopped by the shop on our way from Las Vegas as our check engine light came on. The wait was an hour and we needed to be back on the road and did not have time to wait. They offered to check the oil levels to make sure that we would not have a problem waiting on the oil change until we arrived at our destination. They were so kind and offered water as we waited and allowed us to use their bathroom. This business is a class act! Can’t say enough of how much we appreciated their kindness!

I have been at this Midas 3 times and I keep coming back. The staff is respectful, friendly, and knowledgeable. They do business the old fashion way, they respect their customers and appreciate their patronage.
I will go back again next time when I am due for service because their price is reasonable and they know what they are doing.

Our skid plate was falling off our car as we were driving to Las Vegas and we pulled in for help. They fixed the skid plate quickly and we were on the road within a half an hour. They also made recommendations about an oil leak that they found and advised us to get it looked at when we returned home. Very helpful and efficient! It was a good place to stop at as out-​of-​towners needing a quick fix. Also, they were less than 10 minutes from the 15 freeway.

The always friendly staff is so welcoming. Whatever my needs are I am always sure they will be met. From a simple oil change to major repairs, I always trust that Midas will take care of me in a way that’s friendly, professional, and easy on the wallet (at least as easy as can be).

Great people and fast and friendly service. Always very helpful in every situation. Prices are fantastic as well. No better place in Barstow to bring your automobile for service or tune ups!

We saw the great reviews and decided to stop in for an oil change. Excellent customer service and attentive/​friendly staff!

Great service, friendly staff. I went in for an oil change and a tire patch and they were great! Definitely recommend.

Since the first horseless carriage rolled into Barstow, this town has been well known for having shady automotive repair businesses. Prior to that, I have no doubt that the blacksmith shops and livery stables were shady too. Thats just the way it is here. However the Barstow Midas doesn’t fit that bill. My experience has been that they do a good, honest, job at a reasonable price. When I purchased new rims for my car I drove to EVERY shop in town for a specialized rotation to determine if the rims were true, prior to installation. NOBODY in this town knew what the Hell I was talking about except Midas. Although they could not perform the job, they told me where I could have it done in Victorville. Problem solved. I Should of went there first. Next time I will.

The team at Midas saved our vacation! We were on our way to Vegas when the check engine light came on. I looked up auto repair shops on Unilocal and decided to call Midas for help. Although the situation was alittle stressful because i was thinking of worse case scenarios and how this might ruin our vacation due to major car problems… the guys were able to figure out the problem in less than 30 minutes and sent us on our way with a cheap fix of only $ 20. I highly recommend going here for any auto repairs. Thank you again Midas team!

My oil light came on on my way to Vegas and we stopped here to get it checked. Though they were busy they took the time to check my oil to see if I needed a change. Very helpful, very friendly!

These guys saved Christmas!!! I was driving from Las Vegas to Sacramento, and had a belt failure about 5 miles east of Barstow. I hopped on Unilocal and found these guys who come highly rated. I called ahead to verify they had the parts to work on my car and to make sure I could get in and out same day.
They said they had the parts, and would stay late if need be to get me back on the road! I brought my car in, they replaced a belt which had been stressed by a low performing water pump and replaced both all within a couple hours!
They were very friendly, accomodating to me and my dog who I had in tow. They got be back on the road by 12:30 and I was able to make it to Sacramento by 7:00 PM. They really saved the day!
Highlights:
Fair/​upfront prices.
They were cool with my dog
Comfortable/​Clean Waiting Room
Convinient/​easy to access location

Our car started messing up and flashing it’s battery warning light and losing charge halfway during our drive to Vegas. We found this Midas using google maps and stopped in unannounced and asked for their help. Within 10 mins they were looking at our car, they were straight on to helping us and they were the friendliest staff ever, offered fresh coffee, even called hertz across the road to have them on standby. They served us so promptly and had the cleanest restroom and Comfy waiting chairs. We now have to pay $ 405 for a new alternator but they will have it done within two hours and we came unannounced. Very good service. I wish they were closer to our home town.

Our car broke down heading to AZ. I’m so glad we found Midas in this crazy desert. The crew were all so helpful! Marti helped us call around for rentals, but too bad we couldn’t find any that was available. So we had to spend a night at Barstow. It was nice of Gary to drop us off at our hotel and Julie for picking us up when our car was done. I am forever grateful for their excellent service! You guys are our angels!

We have a 1996 Mustang that needed a new ignition starter, a new clutch, as well as other problems, all on different occasions. The staff here is amazing at fixing that old car. They even kept the car safely on their lot for an extra week or two when we couldn’t pick it up because of my husbands work schedule. I really appreciate the lady at the front desk. She is always friendly and figures out a way to give us a military discount. What my husband and I really love about this place is that a couple of weeks after taking our car to them they sent us a hand written thank you note! Talk about customer service and the desire for repeat customers! If I could give them more than five stars I would.

Very disappointing that midas changed their whole businesses model… can’t believe they don’t work on exhaust and mufflers. on a most popular car. Toyota camry… they suck a$$

I am forever grateful for all the nice people at this Midas location for what they did for me. I was traveling from LA to LV and on the way my car’s bottom cover came out making violent noises as we were driving. Luckily, it happened in Barstow near a freeway exit. So we drove slowly to this Midas and they took care of it for free, tightening it up with washers and bolts. They offered us water and were very nice to us.

When it comes to courteous… safety… experience… and service, I recommend Midas Auto Service in Barstow. Since I was driving back to Las Vegas after a wonderful catering job in San Diego, I had to protect a valuable precious load (my girlfriend, daughter and her friend) and my BBQ smokerI was also towing… My brakes felt like it was going out so I GOOGLED out an Auto Repair shop. I’m so glad I found this place… from Julie the receptionist to Chris the head mechanic. They diagnosed my truck and put me back on the road in 2 ½ hrs. I needed everything. FRONT & BACK brakes. They are AWESOME! FRIENDLY! Next time, I drive through Barstow I will stop by to say a Quick Hello…

Rear wheel started grinding, made it to Midas. Receptionist was very kind and helpful. They were able to diagnose the problem and repair it. 2,000 mile trip was postponed by a few hours, but thankfully these location was on top of things.
