Midas

No Stars!!! Just awful!!!
I brought my Volvo in for an oil change. First, they told me it would cost more than the advertised price as my car took more oil than allowed. What they did NOT tell me, was that they were using the wrong oil for my car, as my car needs synthetic oil. (Bate and switch advertising)
I recently took it back to them complaining that since they performed the oil change, the engine sounds terrible and has been running poorly.
They took a look at it and told me that «Oh, we used the wrong oil when we did your oil change». Then they said that they weren’t sure why it was performing and sounding the way it was… maybe it was the alternator. Really?! With 70,000 miles on the car?! — They took no responsibility for their mistake nor did they offer to rectify the situation. I didn’t realize that I needed to tell them how to do their job correctly!!!
I will be taking my care back to the dealer to determine what’s going on. IF in fact it was Midas of Flemington’s error, they can expect legal action for their incoompetence.

I have been bringing my cars there for years for typical maintenance to more extensive work (timing belts, water pumps ect). They have always been trustworthy and never try selling you something you do not need like some of the car dealers in the area.

I have been going here for years. In the past 4 years it has slowly gone down hill especially since Dante no long runs the shop. In the morning the staff is habitually late. The mechanics phone a lot of the work in. They really don’t take the time to analysis anything. The 30 point quality check that they do for free is a joke cause they really don’t perform it fully. Many a time I have driven out of shop with under inflated tires or low antifreeze or even stuff stuck in my Air filter. But yet. I get all green checks on their full service check. This place is good if you need an oil change. Or you know specially what is exactly wrong with your car. The shop is just run awful. The mechanics never stop talking to each other while they are working. There constantly taking coffee break etc. I am a long time patron of this place but as I stated earlier. This place has down hill since Dante no longer over sees the shop.

Good if you’re just going to get the free oil change that they give out to new residents in the area, otherwise I would stay away.
Brought my car in a while ago for a leaking radiator, turns out they had to replace the whole thing. After getting a few quotes from local places, Midas had the cheapest price, so I went with them. Dropped my car off, took about a day, and I came back to pick it up later that night. As soon as I drove off the lot, my car stalls not 50 feet past the entrance to Midas on 202. I pop the hood and the intake hose for my engine is completely detached from the throttle body. I’m pretty pissed at this point, but I managed to squeeze the hose back on just enough to drive back to Midas.
I complained to the manager at the front desk, who didn’t apologize once throughout this whole mess. After explaining to him what happened he just called a mechanic to look at it. This kid who couldn’t have been more than a year out of high school came out to look at it. Extremely unprofessional, even lit up a cigarette as he was looking in my engine bay. He tightened the hose clamp and gave a half-​hearted «sorry bout that», and walked away. I had to go back inside and insist that someone inspect the rest of the car as I didn’t trust that everything else was put back together correctly when something as obvious as a 2″ diameter hose on the top of the engine wasn’t noticed.
They «inspected» it, and found nothing. Later when looking at it I noticed two brackets that were bent back that were supposed to hold in the radiator, but whoever was working on it must have been too lazy to figure out how to actually mount it correctly.
Stay away for anything other then basic car maintenance!

My family has been going to this car shop for the last 10+ years, and were always happy with them. Whenever I take my car on cross-​country road trips (so far 3x), I always made sure to get it checked out and maintained here whenever I could.
Let me give a couple examples to support my claim:
1. When my first car was leaking transmission fluid, we brought it here. They explained that fixing it would actually cost more than the car’s value. So we decided not to fix it, and just drive it out a little longer (while slowly searching for a new one). The mechanic took time to show me how to check and add transmission fluid myself.
2. On several occasions, for minor noises, check engine light, etc — they inspected and did 10 minute fixes completely for free. Makes it a great experience knowing it’s a really friendly family business.
Having lived in New York, New Jersey, California — they still remain the only mechanic shop that I completely trust. In others I’ve been to, I felt that going there as a woman — other shops try to cheat you or treat you as an idiot (even if you have a masters in engineering!). Not these guys. They were always respectful, honest, hard working. And most importantly they take the time time to explain the cause of the problem, and their suggested solution. Overall — superb service!

If I could give this review 0 stars I would.
My car appointment was scheduled for 11am today, 6÷9÷12, at Midas in Flemington, NJ. Now, I understand that unplanned problems come along, but they didn’t move my car into the garage until 11:52am.
After paying for my oil change and returning home I go to check the oil. To my surprise I go to pop the hood and find that my hood release lever has been broken. The lever was placed to appear that it was okay. I called them and explained that I checked the oil yesterday before making the appointment and the lever was in fact intact. They tell me that «it was like that» when they went to change the oil.
Not only was the service terrible the customer service was awful.
Everyone was just standing around eating sandwiches.
They seemed to think it was more important to go to the bank and get their deposit than to provide car care
While sitting in the lobby not only did the guy tell me «don’t worry i didn’t forget about you… you’re next» obviously you cant forget about me… I made an appointment and yet 5 other people came in as walk ins and were helped immediately.
One horrible experience might not be too serious to some but i don’t recommend Midas Auto Care to anyone ever.

I was told elsewhere that I needed a new exhaust pipe & mufflers for $ 1200. These guys fixed the problem with a welder for more like $ 150, and it’s like new. What more can you say?

Honest shop, with stable staff. They even did a warranty repair on a botched job from another area Midas.
