Midas

I was a suprised when they charged my wife $ 25.00 to fix a flat. That seemed a bit high. Unfortunately she couldn’t go where we normally we go as my son was sick. Of course if we went where we bought the tires, it would be free. Paying to fix a flat is fine, but sometimes it’s good business to just just be fair with a customer, which could lead to additional business… like selling us tires. As it turns out, they won’t get any additional business from us, but the flat is fixed and we appreciate that.

I came to Midas needing a radiator flush after noticing some rust corrosion in my overflow tank. I would have done it myself; however the HOA in my area are ridiculous so it’s nearly impossible to work on your car in the street or driveway if your own home.
Anyway, Tony took care of me and was very straight forward and upfront about everything. The car was finished before expected and everything turned out as good if not better than I was expecting.
Midas will take care of everyone, Thankyou for the great service

Took my SUV in for engine work and I’m VERY happy and satisfied with the Midas team! They did a great job with making my «98 feel like a brand new car! Its pier quality work! I would totally recommend Midas!

Thanks again Tony today for helping resolve problem on my Tahoe. Pearl appreciates it! Nice friendly helpful service.

These guys totally kick ass. They finished a repair that I had started, and went above and beyond my expectations with awesomeness. So happy to have my truck running!
This will be my go-​to shop.
Later Update: Man, you guys, particularly Tony, are the best. I brought in my truck again after having tires installed at another spot, to check a suspicious noise. We didn’t find the culprit then, which turned out to be a loose balancing weight on the front driver side tire (fell off while driving… that fixed it), but you saved my tranny and rear axle from certain suspicious death. You did it fast, and for a great price. I should have have had my tires don with you guys. Thanks again!

These guys rocked.
Stat awesome
True Press thanks you
The service was prompt and courteous

Great Job! I’ll tell all my über driver about Josh@midas… fast services .I got out there in 20min.

These guys are awesome. Brought my car in for what I thought was a simple problem, but wasn’t. Tony was helpful, explained the problem, and didn’t act like I was an idiot driver. Would recommend to anyone.

Since moving back to SCV two years ago, I’ve needed to find a local mechanic for my regular service and one off repair needs. I was wary to use a corporate branded facility since I usually go with small independent mechanics. They were local for me so I decided to give them a try.
I now take all three of my vehicles here. Tony is friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. Prices are average. Customer service is excellent. I see some negative ratings for this business and it’s hard to believe they went to the same place. Obviously my experience has been different to theirs.
I would (and have) recommended this place to friends. They have had a good experience also.
Five stars in my book.

Great job!

I have been going to this Midas for a few years now. I noticed that some of the comments have been about the wait; it’s true it’s a busy location and you do have to wait, but I have never been to any mechanic where I haven’t had to wait for a long time. But at this Midas, I’ve always had my car finished within what I thought was a reasonable amount of time, whether it’s there just for an oil change or for something bigger.
Tony is the person to look for when you go to this Midas. Sometimes there’s someone else working the counter — I can’t remember his name — but I feel Tony is way more upfront and honest than the other guy.
Twice, I’ve gone to this Midas and gotten my car back with one little extra thing fixed that I didn’t even ask about, all with no charge to me. The first time, Tony screwed a loose grill back in (it was rattling) without me even asking about it. This last time I took my car to them, they fixed a blinker that a different mechanic told me could only be fixed if you took apart the entire dashboard (a $ 500 job just to determine what was wrong with the electrical system because replacing the fuse and bulb hadn’t worked). But Tony fixed the blinker without me even asking him to, and didn’t charge me a thing for it.
I love this place and will go back there whenever I need my car fixed.

Great customer service! I always come here for an oil change and the service never fails me. One of the few places I can trust with my car.

On the issue of a wheel alignment and custom exhaust, I dealt with the main tech «Tony» this afternoon and was treated with the utmost respect and honesty. They will never lead you astray at Midas on Sierra highway.

Went for an oil change around 9am on a Saturday, Tony promised me it will be done before 4 pm. I went back around 4 an I noticed my car didn’t move from the parking spot, they said another 45 mins and they are sorry. I did not receive any calls all day for update. I felt that they put priority to those bigger job for more money and didn’t give respect my time because I’m only in for an oil change. Very disappointed with their service.

Better than other Midas’, but not perfect.
Overall satisfied with my experience at this location, just make sure you get there 10 – 15 minutes before they open if you want them to work on your vehicle while you wait. Otherwise by 9:00 — 9:30 they are booked until the late afternoon. I find this typical of most mechanic shops so no real negative here.
Took my truck in because my mechanic recommended I have my shocks looked at in addition to the alignment work I had had done. I remembered that I had gotten my shocks done at Midas several years ago and that Midas has lifetime guarantee so in I went.
Turns out I needed to replace all the shocks. After some digging around the shop manager was able to pull my receipt for 2001. No problem, all I pay is labor. Not too shabby considering how long it’s been.
Would recommend with the caveat that it did take them nearly an hour to tell me I needed shocks which obviously I already knew from my mechanic. I was under the impression they were working on it immediately not doing an inspection. So instead of the 1 — 1.5 hours that were originally quoted, it turned more into 2.5 — 3 hours.

There aren’t many Midas around San Fernando Valley and I had this groupon for an oil change.
But it isn’t honored at this Midas and so… I’m sure their service is great but now I have to drive out of my way to find out if its good service far far away from me.
Always call ahead kids

Every time I go into this Midas or the one on Railroad Ave I always feel like the staff takes care of me and my car. The managers tell you how it is and tell you how your car should run safely. They do not try and sell you everything under the hood or throw parts at you to get your money. They know what they are doing and treat your car as if it were their own. I will be a life time Midas customer and refer all my friends and family to Midas!

After installing a suspension lift on my truck I needed to have an alignment to correct the front end. Midas had helped a lil bit with getting the old ball joints out of the control arms, so I figured I’d be cool and give them the business
Now, for $ 89.00 I expected a thorough job… Didn’t turn out that way. While putting in the lift I had marked the camber adjustment cams on my lower control arms with a marker to keep track of their original position. A few days later I went underneath the truck to re-​torque the lift kit hardware and noticed my marks were in the same spot as before I took it to them. So obviously they hadn’t touched them. This was bolstered by the fact that when I took a not-​too-​hard look at the camber it was all effed up!
So on my second trip back to Midas the manager, Tony, assured me the alignment was guaranteed for 90 days and he would have it corrected. Later that afternoon I picked up my truck and it looked OK. I live really close to thier shop so I didn’t have to drive but 200 yards at no more than 15 mph. But the next day on my way to work I hopped on the 14 and at about 35 – 40 the truck was pulling HARD to the right. When I got home later I went down underneath to look around and noticed only ONE side had been adjusted (based on my original marks)…Needless to say, after the most expensive alignment I’ve ever paid for and two trips I gave up on these dishonest, lazy buffoons!
On a side note, one of the «mechanics» (I use that term real loosely) there has a son who doesn’t get along with my own boy .So to avoid any problems I asked Tony to keep him away from my truck. He smiled, said OK and I was out the door… Few hours later I saw the lil bastard test-​driving my truck! I was in the Stater Bros. parking lot which is in the same shopping center as Midas and happened to notice my truck being driven… Now, if Tony will B.S. me about something minor like that, imagine what he’s pulling on every customer that’s trusting his word on car repairs that they «need» (read the review above by Rusty V.)
AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. They are dishonest, lazy and probably missing a chromosome.

I have tried many auto repair places where you feel you’ve been had in some way but I’ve never had that feeling from this place. I always have gotten honest advice, quotes, and repair costs. That is why I come here for just about anything my cars need.

My front brakes were squeaking on my pickup so I rolled into Midas for a quick fix. They took awhile to examine my truck. Maybe it was such a flashy ride, it took them extra long to estimate how much money they should try to get out of me.
I was told that I needed new front brake pads and rotors AND new drums in the rear. They wanted around $ 1200 to do this! I told them I was leaving and I just wanted my truck back. The guy tells me he is going to charge me for the inspection then, it is only a free inspection if you pay for another service.
I decided to just do the front pads and rotors then. $ 120 I’m out the door with no more squeaking brakes and I didn’t just pay these chumps for the chance to rip me off. I took the truck to two other shops and had the rear drum brakes inspected. Both shops told me the drums were fine and did not need to be replaced. Shocker, I know.
A few weeks later I started getting weird noises from the front. Took it into another shop and was told that Midas had used cheap, inferior brake pads and they should be replaced.
