Midas Auto Svc Experts

I had a friend apply to Midas and the employees actually told him he did not want to work there. They were paid on commission and could only get a decent wage if they "found" things wrong to run up the bill. My friend was not certified but was better qualified than any of the employees he spoke to because of his experience.

PROS:
CONS: employees work on commissioin

Granted they do run a lot of coupons and specials to lure you in, but careful of the service that you get.

I went in for a simple brake job on my truck and yes, I had a coupon for the service so I could save a little money. They took a look at my vehicle and told me that I needed $600 more in services, that my vehicle was not driveable out of the shop, and I was at risk to drive it.

Being naive, I left my vehicle there to be serviced and in the end, I paid almost $800 for my truck to be repaired. It took them 2 days to have my vehicle ready.

I drove the vehicle in normal conditions. Within 6 months, my brake light was back on and I had to take it in for more repairs. The new shop that I patronized told me that the initial repair was not done correctly, that a part was rigged on my vehicle, and that I was taken advantage of.

Their mechanics are not ASE certified. In fact, I found out later that one of the men working on my truck was a painter but he was working at the shop to make extra money since his regular job had been slow. Their equipment is also outdated and mostly not computerized for accuracy. I will never again go to this shop and I would advise others to BEWARE.

PROS: Great prices and coupons
CONS: Mechanics are not certified; Shop dirty; Customer service bad
