Midas

Love going to this shop for all my auto needs. Great customer service and always satisfied about the service

I Finally got a Unilocal account and now I can write my review. I brought them my car mu mom gave. It was a 1998 Saturn SL2. I went there for the oil change. I also asked the guy to check all the fluids and rotate the tires because that came free with the oil change. All I have to say is if you have a waiting room and and it has windows all around it make sure your employees do what they say will. I will never come back here. I got the oil and that was about it. I never got the tire rotation and never got my fluids checked. So yeah. Never got that which made me mad so I payed for the oil change and left. I would never recommend this place ever.

I had a warranty on my battery that I bought from Midas (at a different location). Took my car to two mechanics earlier in the the day who both told me I had a bad batter. Took my car in and explained situation to Midas staff, even had my receipt from when I bought the battery. The guy at the counter gave me a slimy feeling, similar to when you know you’re being taken advantage of. He wanted to charged me to test my battery. I declined knowing full well that I’ve been told by other Midas locations that if I bought my battery from midas and base on the warranty they wouldn’t charge me to test the battery and would replace if it was bad.
The guy blatantly wanted to make a profit anyway he could and thought he was going to pull a fast one on me. I ended up going to the Midas off Arden, who had superior customer service and were honest. The Midas off Arden not only tested my battery for free, but pointed out other things they noticed about my car and gave me quote with no pressure to buy. WORD OF ADVICE, GO TO THE MIDAS OFF ARDEN. AVOID THIS MIDAS ON FAIR OAKS unless to want to be gouged and told embellishments to scam you out of cash for unnecessary work
Anyways, if you take your car to O’Reily’s or Auto Zone they also test for free.

I have live in the Sacramento area for 30+ years! and have owned numerous bmw’s that I have taken to so called «specialty» shops in south sac who I feel have ripped me off. George is a straight shooter– he will tell you what you need and what you do not need. I have been in there for work he has refused to charge me for, and I have been in here for work he admitted he was not able to do without bmw equipment, and yet he charged me nothing for the diagnosis. Long story short– START here, no matter what kind of car you have. If you need another shop, George will direct you. HONESTY. It is all that matters in this business.

Had a screw in my tire fixed here last week. I didn’t think it would have been fixed with a cheap plug instead of the correct way of patching a tire. A week later it was flat again on my brand new car. The technician denied liability and said it wasn’t his plug that was leaking on a «brand new car» and that I should have it fixed at the dealer. Well I just paid midas last week… I asked «will you refund me because you can’t fix the problem?» Their answer was no it’s not leaking from the patch. Les Schwab fixed the tire and confirmed the leak from the plug… What are you going to do Midas? You lost me as a customer for life over something so small. Can’t believe you won’t stand by your work on such a routine textbook service!

We chose this place for it’s good reviews and it’s proximity to the house. I took my car here on a Friday and received very professional and kind service. My issue was that it shouldn’t have taken over 4 hours for an oil change and replacement of two brake pads. I just wish that they had been straight up with me when I arrived and told me that my wait would be lengthy. I would have figured out another plan. After 1 hour, they gave me a far off estimate on the time. They also don’t have wireless internet in the waiting room.

I trust this Midas for service and repair on my vehicle. I have been to quite a few shops around town and I’ve found this one to be the most reputable in the area. Good job guys, keep it up :)

I was at the post office across the street and one of the idiot lights started flashing. I knew I was overdue for an oil change.
They were super nice and didn’t try to upsell anything, nor did they to scare me into repairs I didn’t need. It is nice to find a place you can trust close to home.
Update November 16, 2012
I visited again yesterday for the next oil change. They told me my tires were cracked. After 7 years and about 62,000 miles, that seems reasonable. I’ll have to have the tires added the day before Thanksgiving.
Not the cheapest set of visits but I guess better than a scary blowout on a long drive to Southern California.

This place has the best auto service. I would rather drive across town to come here then go to other auto shops. Unlike every other garage, I don’t feel like I’m being ripped off here. It feels like they’re honestly trying to help here and they aren’t trying to sell you unnecessary parts or repairs. It’s amazing!

Went to this shop with a bad Alternator inspected by two respected specialty auto repair places. Even though I purchased the part from anther Midas, this shop refused to replace the part under warranty. A different Midas shop gladly replaced the part. This shop does not live up to the Midas guarantee.

Come to meet the brain behind the funny sign sayings (George, the owner) and stay for the good service. I’ve had two times when I asked for a major repair that I thought I needed — and then had them suggest a smaller, much less expensive repair. Knowledgeable, friendly, and professional… What more could you ask for in a mechanic?

I took my pickup in to have a hole in the exhaust repaired, and my air conditioning serviced. The tech did an excellent job, repairing the exhaust and the a/​c is blowing cold air. The total bill at the end was what I would consider fair and reasonable.

Honest, professional and reasonable. I won’t take my car anywhere else. I’ve recommended them to family and friends, which I won’t do unless I feel very confident about a business.

I went here to get my oil changed and also paid extra to get my fluid levels checked. They get two stars for having reasonable prices and getting it done quickly. THE PROBLEM was they did not check my levels (which were very low) and they broke off the top of the oil tank cap and LOST it. I will not go back.

Professional. Reasonable. Customer satisfaction. These guys are on point. I drove 300 miles just to get my vehicle serviced by them.jk.
But I would…
Georgey porgey runs a great operation. He actually called other mechanics to compare prices and recommended some other places that are cheaper.(I stayed because he was being honest at least).
Very courteous and up front. I will be coming here in the future!

George and his crew are awesome! I’ve ditched the Audi dealership after spending way too much money and time there in exchange for poor service. The people at Midas are quick, friendly, and don’t rip you off. I plan to bring my car here for everything that I can have fixed here. I’ve taken my car twice now and have been totally happy with the results and the service. I would recommend this Midas to anyone. You really should «Trust the Midas Touch!»
