I have been bringing my vehicles here since 2011 and will continue returning to this location for ALL my automotive maintenance and tire needs! Thank you Midas!

Take this review with a grain of salt … because I’m truly stupid… that is specifically because I’ve gone back there for more.
Most recently one of my four older vehicles was unable to start. It failed in a parking lot about a quarter mile from this Midas «Auto Service Experts» shop. So stupid me thinks to take it there. I must admit I should have known better form past experiences.
This time the job was to replace a failed starter. The result was a car that started three times, during the ride home (after the third start) a «SERVICE ENGINE SOON» light lit. and in my driveway at home it would no longer start. What I found was that the cable connected to the battery was only loosely attached (AT BOTH ENDS) both leads loose at the battery and the red one loose at the starter too. When I reached my hand up under the motor to try to hot-​wire the new starter (so it didn’t have to be towed to them again) I found that the red lead to the starter was loose. Of course after wiggling it the car started… and I drove it back there to have the cables tightened. Oh, by the way after it started the «SERVICE ENGINE SOON» dash light was not on. There is an engine sensor right next to the starter that I’ll bet was reconnected when I pushed my hand up there. So on my way home from the re-​repair … the «SERVICE ENGINE SOON» light came on again. Gomer and Goober at it again. Man, do I feel like a dumb-​f_​uck for going back there again. They did try to make me feel better by telling me that the guy who installed the starter (without bothering to tighten the wires) was fired. Like I care.
The first time this car was in their shop, I needed the whole exhaust system replaced. They had the whole system (end to end) to do. When they gave it back to me, within two days it got LOUD. What I found was that they had installed the wrong muffler and it didn’t fit the pipes in front and behind it. But they «fixed» that bu stuffing muffler putty into the gap between the pipe interfaces… which of course blew out. The second time they put the right size muffler on. One day I will Unilocal about what they did to one of my other cars.
