Midas

Came in on a weekday morning with an appointment for a state inspection. Very friendly service and I was in and out within 30 minutes, even though someone else was in front of me. Will be returning.

Came in on a Saturday with no appt for an oil change. Waited approx 30 min before they pulled my car in.
Lady at front desk was very nice. I was the only one waiting so I could watch whatever I wanted on the TV. They had free water as well. Free wifi, just ask for the password.
Plenty of space to pull in and park.

How are there no reviews for this place? I have been to this Midas about 6 times, usually for «free» oil changes after giving blood, but I have also paid for work here as well. I have never had a good experience. I got new front brakes a few years ago and was charged $ 750. 2 years later they needed to be replaced and a MUCH better shop down the street did the same repair for $ 220. Huh.
As far as the «free» oil changes, the manager, in my experiences, was reluctant to honor them without either trying to upsell another service (I get that it’s part of the business), or making an uncomfortable comment about «giving away stuff for free all the time.» HEY, don’t offer something for «free» and then complain about it. I give blood regularly (8+ gallons), but now I just go to the blood center. The «free» oil change isn’t worth it.
I also made the mistake of getting a Virginia inspection here once. Of course they decided that my wipers needed replacing (that were only a few months old and worked perfectly), and charged me something like $ 30 for $ 12 worth of parts. The manager didn’t even tell me first. I told him that I would have liked to have known before he replaced them since I could have just walked to the parts store next door and done it myself (as if they even needed replacing). He said «hey, somebody’s gotta’ put my kid through college.» Not even a little bit funny, dude.
The icing on the cake? TWICE I also asked for a tire rotation and marked the tires (took a valve cap off of one of the the stems) and they didn’t even rotate the tires — but charged me for it. When I confronted the manager he said they were «too busy» that day for a tire rotation but I could come back to have it done. Say what?
Bad service. I will never go back.
