Midas

Review for 2 separate car tire issues.
Caught a pot hole on my new Lexus 1 weeks after owning it (can you believe it!)
While it didn’t blow, overnight the tire developed a bubble that started to rip.
I knew it wouldn’t make it back to the dealership, so I took it to the closest tire place.
I limped my way to Midas and got there as they opened for the day.
The employee that I worked with was very pleasant, for first customer of the day in.
I knew this wasn’t a patch job, so after a quick confirmation I’d need a new tire — they got me in and out of there within an hour and with smiles on their faces. I actually made it to work by 9am! I was happy. They gave my car the Midas touch!
Recently had to return for my boyfriends car, his SUV caught a slow leak (dammit Rt. 1) and once again we limped there as it was going flat. If my bf had his equipment here in NJ he would have plugged it himself. It pained him to bring it to Midas, cause he know they would give him the run around and want him to buy a new tire. My bf is in the auto industry, he knew it could be patched/​plugged — after specifically telling them he knew it could be plugged, they still refused to plug it. After some back and forth, they relented to just put his spare on, and give him the flat tire so he could plug it himself. They did not charge him for this, probably because they knew he was right. No Midas touch for him :(
So the two experiences combined are a 3 star review for me.
Good if you have a cut and dry — def. need a new tire.
Not so good if you have a flat they refuse to plug.
