Midas

Midas at Durango and Cheyenne rocks!!! They have saved me from trouble so many times and they did it again last night — on a Sunday, when they are actually closed!!! My car just stopped running and I started panicking and could only thing of calling the number on the business card the owner of the shop gave me. The owner, on his day off, got my car towed to the shop, asked his mechanic to come by and got some hose fixed at a cost well below my expectations. I am so happy I started coming to this guys with my car problems a couple of months ago! Great service, very helpful people, who always try their best to repair my old Chrysler the cheapest and the fastest way possible.

Jack and Jose, you guys are awesome ! You gave me so many reasons to register on Unilocal and give you 5 stars! Thank you for your excellent service and for being so fast, helpful, and accommodatting. I’ll be so happy to recommend you to my friends for any car repairs. You helped me save more than $ 1,000 with your honest diagnosis vs the head gasket replacement the dealership was trying to make me pay for. Your honesty will win you many loyal customers, I am sure!

I was in Vegas for New Year’s from LA and, of course, my car had to produce a check engine light and started staggering. Took it to this Midas shop close to where we were saying. I was lucky! The shop did a «smoke» test, found a leak, did repairs, drove us home and picked us up later, checked my tires and replaced two of them — all of it same day, and my damage was just few hundred bucks (I was fearing much much more just to address the check engine problem). Thank you guys — very professional, friendly, and fast!

Just had work done at this shop for my friend’s Nissan. The experience was amazing that made me want review this guys.
I was shocked to see some singles stars — and seemingly all because people were unhappy about manager Dan being unfriendly. I did not get to meet him, but manager Jack was a typical old-​school helpful great person, who went out of his way to make us comfortable with the break work and wiring work they did. We called Meineke and an independent shop next door before doing the work and both were 20%-30% more expensive.
The mechanics were young, but seemed to be experienced and did a very good job showing us what the problems were and even fixed for free a small exhaust issue we had. Our friends visiting from Seattle were very impressed. They drove back to Seattle and called us to report that the car ran perfect for their whole trip.

Don’t walk, run from these «mechanics». I needed new brakes so stopped in for a quote. The brake guy came to work maybe 15 minutes late. While waiting, I watched a father and son come in to complain. The front end manager looking clueless fielding complaints left and right.
Finally, the «mevhanic» showed up and took a look at my brakes. The front in manager quoted me a price of almost $ 800. I called Meineke, and told them put my car back together and left.
The asshole mechanic drove my car around front, got out and slammed my door. What a pussy!!! Run, don’t walk away from this place.

I thought this place was great. Went in for a front brake pads and an oil change. I had bigger problems with my brakes than I thought. They showed me what the problem was and what they needed to do to fix it. It was going to be close to $ 700, but I knew it needed to be done and never once felt I was «being sold» or taken advantage of. They gave me every discount available and didn’t charge me for the oil change. Dan was able to get the total down to $ 600, which I was grateful for. He was also very nice, not sure why others had problems with him. My truck is old and has other problems, but he merely made me aware of the issues and didn’t use scare tactics or pressure to get me to spend more money. I will go back next time I need work done.

I came here because groupon had a great deal do a AC recharge. Dan the office manager is rude and his customer service skills are pathetic. Had a appointment at 9 and it took almost 4 hours to finish everything. On top of that he started yelling at a couple of his mechanics in the garage. Just really bad management and customer service. Don’t get anything done here!

Horrible service. The old guy, I think his name is Dan, was very rude and had an attitude when I said no to them putting dye in my a/​c unit in case there was a leak. I know there isn’t a leak, so why would I waste my money? Of course, he had to have a ride remark about it, like I don’t understand what I’m doing by saying no. I’m not stupid. Also, he had me standing at the front desk for 15 minutes in silence, not saying that I could sit or that he would just be a few minutes while he typed something up. You don’t let you’re customers stand for that long and do nothing. It’s rude. A person came in selling sugar-​free candy too and Dan said, «No, I’m diabetic.» But he just received Burger King from his coworker 2 minutes earlier! What a lame person. Don’t come here. Worst experience ever.

Stopped in for oil change, no appt. but if they couldn’t get me it was no big deal. The manager, was very rude & unfriendly… Making me feel stupid for not having an appt. (There was only one car in their garage). He said they’re usually swamped but they had time for an oil change. I was told it’d be done in 45 min. It was very uncomfortable to wait in such a tiny space with a grumpy unfriendly person. So I walked to local shops, ended up taking 1.5 hours & he gave me an estimate of almost $ 500 in things that needed to be done! This place is a joke… I won’t be returning.

I’m extremely dissatisfied with the service at Midas on Durango Avenue. The owner Dan was extremely rude and condescending. I had my power steering lines rebuilt and a month later they started leaking again and they did not want to fix it with no charge. After arguing my point I finally won the argument but it took them 6 days to fix my car. They had to send the power steering lines back three times total. They never apologized and were very rude. I have had experience with Zip Zap auto which is right next-​door as a better alternative. Very knowledgeable and considerate at Zip Zap auto. In addition to all this when I had my power steering lines put on they told me I needed a flush but did not do flushes. So I brought it somewhere else and they’re trying to blame them for the power steering line ileaking. The mechanic at Midas denied telling me that they don’t do flushes. Not only did they lied to me, they were very inconsiderate. Complete nightmare. I give them no stars.

Do NOT go to this location! They over charged me by about $ 20 by telling me that I needed synthetic oil. I had to wait 1 ½ hours for an oil change and they tried to sell me on a lot of other services that I didn’t actually need. After overcharging me, they didn’t even change the little window sticker that tells me when I need my next oil change. Lame!

What a HORRIBLE experience! The manager, Dan had a FU attitude to everyone who walked in the door. While I was waiting for my re-​repair (they screwed up the 1^st attempt), I witnessed FOUR upset customers being treated with disdain by Dan. The ONLY reason for two stars is Art, my service tech. He showed honest care & concern for my issue. I would NEVER recommend this company, but if you do go to this shop, be sure to ask that Art works on your vehicle.

Came here for an oil change. The guy was so rude and unhelpful and tried to charge me $ 56 for a standard oil change that I ended up walking out and going next door to ZipZap Auto. Worst customer service ever!

I had some down time between driving to work meetings and really needed an oil change, so I stopped here. It’s not my normal spot and I didn’t know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised with the service! It was quick and painless with no added fees or guys trying to up-​sell me or take advantage of me. I was in and out in about 20 – 30 minutes and would definitely return to this location.

I bought a living social deal for «free» oil changes plus extra free or discounted prices for 25 $- I was sold. We went in yesterday and they insinuated WE were trying to scam THEM with the punch card we bought in which THEY offered on LS. WTHeck? After getting passed that, they claimed they couldn’t/wouldn’t change the oil in our new car because it was «unsafe» to drive and needed repairs before it could even be considered for an oil change. Needless to say we didn’t buy the BS, and left.
The next day we took the truck in (should’ve known better to go back), they took the truck back and claimed my truck only took synthetic oil; which again BS from them. I’ve never put synthetic in my truck and didn’t want the synethetic. They said it was the only choice and put it in anyway. They charged us 42 $ for the 7 quarts of synthetic that I didn’t even want. They charged for the filter that on the punch card clearly stated the filter was included. The only thing we expected to walk out paying was taxes and disposal fees. Instead, with our «free» oil change coupon we walked out paying 40 $! Just for oil and a filter!
I disputed the charges and the guy behind the counter didn’t care about a thing I said, in fact he was messing around on the computer while I was trying to get answers from him. He obviously didn’t care and probably was happy that they got away with scamming yet another customer. I was pretty livid walking out. No care for the customer, just bringing in money and ripping people off.
We will never return and hope to gosh living social refunds our punch card vouchers; they’re completely worthless.
I highly recommend finding an honest auto shop. We love Sun Auto (we go to the one off N Durango and 215). They’re honest and treat loyal customers well. I’m disappointed in my self for getting a flashy deal over our regular shop. Shame on me for straying away and shame on Midas for the bad business they conduct.

I understand where people are concerned and cautious of auto repair shops, I would be too. I have friends who know just enough not to get screwed and they told me I had dirt/​sand where my break pads are and all I needed to do was have it cleaned.
I came here and had them check it out, then came the BS they gave me. Wow, for a nationally recognized chain I was so disappointed. I said I would pay for labor, simply to clean out the dirt and debris but they said I needed to replace my brake pad. It’s been a year now and I have the same brake pads.
Lying much? Yup.

This place is hella lame! Theyre lucky I bought a Groupon!
So I made an appointment to come here for an oil change at 3, I arrived 10 mins early and the man tells me hes running late and that I could take a walk with my little dearest! I was a little irritated by that, they only had 4 chairs and 3 heffers took one away from my son and another had her purse on one. JERKS!
So we waited about an hour and some lady who came in after us car was already done! I was like, wtf! I started talking to the fella asking him if he rotated the tires, bc it was included, and hes like «lemme ask» I heard another guy say, «No her tires are brand new» he then came in and said yes they were… LIES! He gave me my paperwork but didnt explain anything to me but said I needed a steering wheel flush… nah!
This location is ok bc its close to places to eat or drink. The inside is a little gross, but it is a garage. The customer service could be a little better and they really should add more seats! Had it not been for my Groupon I wouldve never went! The prices are pretty high and the wait time is redic!

Came in here for a tire patch since its so close to my house, traditional over priced midas prices.
Ended up at Autozone buying fix a flat and using the air at Sinclair :)

Was disappointed to read the negative review on this place. I bring all of my vehicles here. The guy at the front desk is very knowledgeable and helpful. The mechanics in the back have always been able to fix my vehicles… Headed there right now for an oil change.

Brought my Mom’s truck here to have the tires and alignment checked and to grab a quick oil change. There was a noticeable shake and pull the right side when driving the truck 25 – 45 mph. The guy said he would check into it. He also said they were out of oil and that he couldn’t do an oil change for another day or two, when the next shipment was expected to arrive… seriously? An auto shop that is out of oil?
He also didn’t find anything wrong with the tires or alignment… when I took it somewhere else for a 2^nd opinion, they discovered the issue right away.
I don’t recommend this shop at all. I only stopped by here because it’s around the corner of my house.
Will I return? Hell no.
