Midas

In hindsight, I feel I should have known better through this entire experience, but I was in a pinch and don’t deal with auto mechanics often.
My car wouldn’t start so I called AAA. The jump start didn’t work, so the guy said I need to take it to a shop. He recommended this shop because his nephew owns it and I’d be «treated right.» I’m sure there are kickback involved, but anyway…
I didn’t get a call before they close to say whether or not they were looking at my car, but that isn’t the end of the world. They did call first thing the next day to tell me I needed a new alternator. They quoted me $ 930. I know I should have called around then, but again, hindsight. All said and done it was $ 960 and they threw in a «free» oil change. I called the dealer after the fact (their computers were down the day of the repair) and they said they’d do it for $ 700. So, I definitely got cheated on the price, but you can’t expect much from a place like this. Their in the business of separating you with your money. Overall they weren’t horrible, but I’m definitely not going back.

Went in with a flat in need of a new tire and mount. Clerk helped me pick the most affordable option while not giving up too much quality. Was in and out in under and hour and so far so good. First experience at any Midas shop and it was overall a very comfortable, stress-​free, and easy experience.
