Midas

Good staff and good service. I would give 5 stars but it seemed as if they were short on materials to do my muffler job.

I was having issues with my timing belt system on my 2000 VW Beetle and when I got quoted at the Volkswagen dealership they told me it would cost me $ 2,000!!! Being a college student, there was no way in hell I was going to pay that. I decided to go with Midas because my dad had used them in the past and I am so glad I gave them a call. Boris was so helpful, he quoted me at a fair price and he even showed me the parts that were broken. I am completely sold on them and would definitely use them again in the future!

Extremely helpful, fast, and honest. Easy to get appointment. This will be my to go place whenever I need anything for my car.

I just had a great experience at Midas. I came in with really squeaky brakes. Boris took great care of my car! I was even running a little late to come back and pick up my car once he was all done, and Boris kept the doors open a little while after closing time just for me. Great customer service! I wouldn’t hesitate to bring my car back for any automotive needs! Thank you!!!

Came in for brakes and an oil change. Service was fast. They were great, very honest. I didn’t feel like they were trying to take anvantage of me an just make money, which happens so often at auto repair places. I will definitely be back for any future needs! Also this was the cleanest waiting area I have ever seen in an auto shop…

My family will not take our cars anywhere else. I trust Boris with all our automotive needs. We have been going to this midas for a long time. Boris has always been fair. If he says something needs to be replaced, you can trust his word. We have moved from the area but my kids always take their cars to him.
If you have car problems, if you are a woman and don’t know who to trust go to this Midas.

Boris is the man! I had a shaking in my steering wheel when braking and thought I’d drop it off for Midas to take a look. Within an hour Boris called me and explained to me what was going on-​in great detail and in layman’s terms. 2 hours later my SUV stops on a dime and the wheel shake is gone. Great service!!! Thank you!

Found myself in Corona (I live in Sacramento) with my personal car when I started to hear noise from one of the wheels… the kind of early warning that means you’re pads are nearing the end of their life. I know that waiting means you might damage the rotors, at least doubling the cost, so I looked for the next brake shop.
I got lucky and pulled into this Midas. They were able to get to my car quickly, while I waited, and did a very good job. Professional and friendly. If I was a local, they’d be my new brake shop.

Boris was very friendly and went the extra mike to make sure my car was taken care of. I will take my car back again.

Service was fast, reasonably priced, and the service mechanic was friendly. I was able to get my tire patched on my lunch break and still have time for lunch.

My review is based only on their smog check services.
–The waiting room was clean, and they had A/​C.
–The shop appeared to be clean as well.
–The mechanics were clean (a big deal to me, since I don’t want people with greasy, dirty clothing getting in and out of my cars).
–The smog check was performed quickly.
–The staff was extremely honest and upfront with me.
–The staff was very friendly and even made small talk with me.
–The price was very reasonable. Not the lowest in town, but given the clean environment, professionalism, and one more HUGE factor which I’ll mention below, I felt the price was extremely fair.
I had been looking for a clean smog shop that also had an in-​ground dyno. My vehicle has very little ground clearance, and I can’t get my car onto a dyno that uses ramps without scratching the underside of my front bumper /​lip spoiler. This Midas on Lincoln Ave in Corona has a low profile, in-​ground dyno. Thank you to W.R. for his or her review on 1÷7÷2012, otherwise I would probably still be searching for a place with an in-​ground dyno.

I recently went to get my oil changed at Midas and thought everything went smoothly. A few weeks before, I had gotten a tune-​up and some other things done to my car from my trusted mechanic. Not even a day after getting my oil changed, my oil light came on. At first, I thought maybe my car was just getting used to the oil. I ended up taking it back to Midas to ask them what was going on. They ended up driving my car around and saying «it could be the shocks and struts or the oil sending unit» but were not for sure and were not going to check it since they said they did nothing wrong. So, I went on my way but something did not feel right because it makes no sense that my car was FINE before taking it to them and now a light comes on. I took it back to them to at least have them look at it as opposed to driving it around to see if maybe a mistake was made or that they touched something. Anything. Boris, the owner, was very defensive and said they did not do anything wrong and they just did a standard oil change and he is not responsible for any other things on my car. To me, that is bad customer service. Instead of telling me what you THINK you did correctly, just see if there is anything wrong. I normally do not write reviews but I would NEVER recommend this particular Midas to any of my friends or family or people on the street. I have been to a lot of places where something went wrong and they were very helpful and eager to make sure it wasn’t something they did wrong. For Boris, and this Midas I give 1 star and I will never take my car here again.

The owner of this place knows how to make customers feel welcome every time. I like taking my car here be, cause I trust these folks. Location is a downer because its a bit ghetto to be walking around without the car during service but if u can arrange for a pick up then ur good to go!

I was pretty pleased with my experience with this Midas. My brakes had been squealing, and payday was this week, so I knew it was time to get it taken care of. Boris, the owner, was very nice, and gave me thorough explanations of what i needed and why. The cost ended up being high, but I didn’t feel like I was being sold anything unnecessary (and my husband agreed), and I did not felt taken advantage of.
Service took a while (but that’s the price I pay for taking my car in on a Saturday, I suppose), and the fact that the nearest Midases to Riverside are Fontucky and Corona were really the only downsides. My life is better if I can stay off the 91 out of Riverside, but for this Midas I will definitely continue to make an exception.
Thanks, Boris! I’m sure I will return!

I recently got an alignment done and tires replaced since the wear was uneven and the steel was already showing through. I also had a low tire pressure that was not resetting which was annoying as heck but all the tires pressure appeared fine. I almost took the car to the dealer, but they were able to think of the simple things in life. Genius, it was the spare tire. All was fixed and I’m a happy camper.

Never again!
Hour and a half or an oil change and it was $ 47.
Back to L.A. where I can get it done in 20 minutes and $ 28.
Of course they offered to do stuff I never asked for, but I said I wanted an oil change only.
