Midas Mufflers

Went to buy tires for my f350. Was sold the wrong size. The tread started peeling off. Took truck back and was told it was a tire rod/shock problem. Took 2 days off of work (I'm a contractor) for 2 different mechanics to look at it. Was told by both that the tires on my truck aren't rated for my truck. Filed a complaint online and was called by district manager. He said he wanted to make it right. Take another day off of work to meet him after I had confirmed our scheduled time. The guy did NOT show up! When I called he had an attitude with me because he forgot our appointment. I will be suing Midas.

This has been the worst experience. So starting back end of March, took my car in to get worked on since front (what my fiancee and I thought were my brakes) squeaking. They look at it and say the brakes are fine and that it's a different issue. So $1000+ later, think my car is fine. So took it in to get inspected 2 weeks later for my tags. All the sudden my brakes are "metal on metal". Wtf! So back at Midas now. 2 hours just to look at the car and figure out the brakes situation (seriously?). Another 2 hours to fix it. Yay, that's great, cause no one needs to go to work or anything. But they're giving a "discount" on labor. Should have been done right the first time so not wasting a day, being late for work, and I'm starting to think that $1000 issue wasn't an actual issue... That it was in fact my brakes like had went there for to begin with! I am beyond frustrated and annoyed with Midas.

Went in to get an oil change and check the light that came in for parking brake and ABS light. They told me the light wasn’t on when they checked it out afterwards. He told me they can scan it but doesn’t mean they can fix it which is all I wanted anyway but they were already done and to do that they would take it back and it was the day before Easter they wanted to get out of there. So I left satisfied, now 4 days later I am cleaning up the car inside wiping off where my foot rests while driving, and I see a open port that says OBD, now I know the cover is gone so I immediately call them.

On November 6, 2017, I went to Midas Auto Service located at 215 West Route 59, Nanuet, NY 10954 to replace my Catalytic Converter. However, a few months later my check engine light illuminated and once again requiring services once again for an Evaporator Valve. On March 24, 2018, I had that replaced however, on March 26, 2018 the check engine light illuminated once again. A week later on March 31, 2018, I returned to Midas. I was informed that I need additional repairs costing over $2,500. If I was aware of this sooner after being there on numerous visits the costs would not have exceeded that amount. I question the capability and reliability of the mechanics being employed by Midas.

Went in for exhaust. Service mgr ordered wrong exhaust, cut it apart to make it fit, (used flex tube). Flex tube started leaking, I was told I would have to PAY 800.00 MORE TO GET DEALER PART. I said no, he said he would give a 2 year warranty on flex tube repair. 2 days later I still do not have a car. At a time when retail is dropping off the face of the planet, I can't understand why a place with such poor service is still in business.

I went in for a oil change, brakes, and tire rotation. Midas in Florence, KY over torqued my lugs causing damage to my bearings and my brakes. They replaced them, but I will not be going back to that shop.

Going to the shop is like taking your life into your own hands. My daughter went for a routine oil change. She left the shop and started to drive back to school. She got to the light on the extremely busy road. At that point both back wheels fell off the car causing several thousands of dollars in damage and irreparable psychological trauma to my daughter. This was complete negligence...and could have cost my daughter her life.

Midas Mufflers 5938 Market St Youngstown Ohio 44512 Sold Battery for $211.00 to a girl. They said she needed it & did not. After they put it in no difference. Car still would not turn over or start. Then they told her, "Too bad. You are stuck with it." She wanted old battery put back in. They said, "No!" They just took advantage of this female & many others.

Went to Midas (in Billings, Montana) this Thursday. My driver’s side window somehow fell off the tracks, I couldn’t get it to roll up without the window dropping about half way. Went in to get it fixed, paid 250 dollars. Went out, tried the window and it still dropped about 2 inches, you had to roll it up multiple times before the window would actually stay in place. Went back in. Told them the window still is working right, their exact words “Ooo yeah we were going to ask you about that, did it do that before it started messing up, some vehicles do that as a safety mechanism, so you don’t lock your keys in your car.” Which doesn’t make any sense, whatsoever. I proceeded to say “No my car didn’t do that and that doesn’t make any sense, I just paid a lot of money for this to work.” They just looked at me dumbfounded. I got nowhere with them and now I’m out 250 dollars with a window that still doesn’t work right. Will never be going back ever.

Worst experience, unprofessional, poor customer service and poor work service. I brought my car to Midas (99 St and 3408, Edmonton, AB) on Dec 16, 2017 to fix my acceleration problem and starting issue. I had bought a new car battery thinking it need a new battery, but according to the store serviceman it was a starter issue and they will look at it and look at my acceleration issue. I left them with the car from 9am - 3pm. I came back to a bill of 940 dollars to fix all the issues. I paid and left. This include an inspection and engine diagnosis.

Stay away from Midas at 55 Hampton House Road in Newton NJ and Midas in general. Absolutely, the worst service I've ever experienced. I called Midas to ask them if they could fix a leaking gas line. They said they could and I took my car to them for the repair. They took my car apart to the point where it could no longer be driven and I had no choice but to have them make the repair. It took them a week to make the repairs, while they made excuses that they were waiting for Nissan parts and lied. They never used Nissan parts but rigged it up using hose clamps and I'm assuming whatever else they had lying around. A day after I picked it up it had the same leak and it was even worse. They charged me $800.00.

Today 11.13.17 I checked the oil in our car and found no oil on the dipstick. I know it should be full because I just had it changed at Midas. I jacked up my car, and found that the oil filter had been leaking oil. I tightened the filter so more oil would not leak out when the car runs. I put 2 QUARTS of oil in for the oil that had leaked out. I was very angry, I called Midas and was told "bring it in". I told them I fixed their screw up, I will never go to another Midas. I just hope that what they did to my car won't damage my car engine!!

I went for an oil change and a brake inspection. When they were done, the office manager came and sat down in front of me and said I could not drive the car, the brakes were very bad, it was dangerous to drive. She showed me the price of $1283.69. I said, "I had to drive the car, I drove it in with no problem, it was the only car we had, and I did not have that amount of money." She asked if I wanted to leave the car and I emphatically said no. I had been driving the car with no problems and no noises. I left in the car and the brake pedal went further down than usual.

I had called the local Midas shop about getting tires. The manager took the time to explain how the lowest costing tires were a good tire. Now if he was a dishonest man wanting to just make a fast buck he could have feed me a line about them not being that good of a tire and try and steer me towards a very expensive brand, but he didn't. He was straightforward and this is how they are at this Midas Shop, which after reading the other reviews is sadly a rare thing, you can trust some Midas Shops.

Been using Midas for years now never ever again. They tell me I need a tune up on Subaru not know they didn't know that they needed special sparks plugs. Now my car doesn't run right. Had to go to the dealership and have them fix Midas screw up that sucks so good bye Midas forever.

On 7/15/2017 we took our 2003 Honda Pilot to get a "free" estimate on new brake pads for the rear wheels. We went to 19009 Eastex Fry. Humble, Texas. We were told we would be given a free estimate. The service man came out and told us we also needed new rudders. Since we wanted to get another estimate, we took our car to the dealership. Not only were they cheaper, they told us we DID NOT NEED new rudders. The Midas shop did not give a free estimate. They charged us $54.86. Now I consider that to be completely wrong and misrepresents Midas in every fashion.

When I went to Midas in Baden, PA for a new muffler and emissions and inspection they told me to bring my car in for an estimate. The manager came out and said that I needed an oil change according to my stickers; I said that's funny I just had my oil changed 2 weeks ago at another facility and he said maybe it was his glasses and that he had read the sticker incorrectly. I went to the other mechanic who was looking at my car and he said the other facility forgot to put a sticker on it and I said "why would they do that" and he said sometimes they forget and he asked me if I would like him to take the old sticker off. Without thinking I said yes and I remembered that the other garage did put the oil sticker off and they scraped it off so I couldn't see that they were not trying to give me an unnecessary oil change.

Car repair - Midas on Rhode Island Avenue N.E. is the worst. Do not go there no matter what!!!! It's too long to write everything. But, I was given three different invoices. I was lied to and problem not fixed. On top of it all the manager ** and his employee ** had lots of attitude.

On 6/1/17 I went to Midas at 833 Alexis rd. Toledo for a total brake & shock absorber system. Inspection and replacement. They replaced rotors, Brake pads front and back and also new shock absorbers on the rear. I questioned them on the calipers and was told they were in good shape and working fine. I said if there is any chance they might fail I wanted them replaced as I am 76 yrs old and handicapped and cannot want to take a chance on it failing out on the highway. After the installation was complete they re-assured me that they checked the calipers. They were operating as they should and did not need replacing. I ask them again if they were sure and they said yes. Price $947.98.

6/23 I took my 1999 GMC Jimmy to the Midas in Wind Gap PA for an oil change. When I was paying for the change the man at the counter told me they'd found other problems including a broken engine mount. That the engine mount was useless and the engine would rock back every time I accelerated. He told me it would cost upwards of $400 to fix. I took it to a shop up the street that a police officer had recommended who said there was some slight movement and a slight crack that didn't go all the way through the rubber and the mount wouldn't need to be replaced for a while. He explained what to look for when there was a real problem and none of that showed in my car. Oh, and none of my tires were rotated either. They also said I needed new tires but the other shop said mine were good a bit longer. Avoid this shop. Get recommendations for other shops rather than give these thieves an opportunity to rip you off.

I bought air shocks for my 94 Cadillac Fleetwood 3 years ago. Recently the rear driver's side shock was leaking. It made the compressor stay on and you could hear the air coming out. (My mechanic confirmed that the shock was leaking and unplugged the car's compressor). Since I had a lifetime warranty, I took it back to Midas.

I AM WRITING THIS REVIEW BECAUSE I WANT YOU ALL TO AVOID THIS MIDAS LOCATION(495 Route 9 South Woodbridge, NJ!!! Please do not go there. My vehicle came into the location running well. After being told on the last visit that my shock/strut was leaking gas, I decided to have the guys at this location replace the rear shock and struts. I brought it in on the above date and it took them the entire day to fix it. Didn't pick up my car until Sunday, May 28th. The mechanic that fixed it was coming back from a test drive and told me that the truck was vibrating. The truck did not do this before. I have driven all over the tri-state area and my truck never vibrated before! These kids and owner do not know how to repair cars.

I marked my driver's side front tire with a yellow marker before going in to Midas Mufflers at 6301 North Lincoln in Chicago for a $19.99 oil change with tire rotation. Mechanic pulled my car into the shop right away and a few minutes later pulled it back out. I was surprised how fast he had finished! I went out and inspected my tires. The same yellow mark was still on the same driver's side front tire. I went back into the shop and the clerk said my car was all ready to go. I told her I needed my tires rotated first. She told me the "technician" already rotated my tires.

While driving down to Georgia from NY my muffler broke on the NJ turnpike. I pulled off of the turnpike in East Windsor, NJ and found a Midas shop. What a mistake. I had to have it fixed so I was stuck. I was also robbed by the Midas shop. It cost me over $600 for the muffler which lasted 2 months. I had to go to another Midas in Georgia who replaced the garbage quality muffler at the cost of $128 labor. The Midas Corporation did not care one bit that the muffler was defective and stated that I am responsible for the labor cost even though the muffler lasted 2 months. I took the car to Ford prior to having the muffler replaced in Georgia and they said that they will not touch the muffler system because it was botched and welded. My warranty on the muffler system is now void. The East Windsor manager Gary was nasty to the other customers making fun of some of the other customers. Never go to Midas as they are a rip off.

Stay away from the location and all Midas, the same franchise John ** owner has most in the area. I paid over $500 for brakes and rotors, my car still squeaks, it actually screams when I stop. I returned and Brian ** the service manager accessed the issue, wrote and sign to replace rotors and brakes, which were already paid for and brand new. After the parts got delivered to the store, I returned and was refused service. I have the manger on video refusing me service, after he signed the document to replace them. I want a refund, I didn't pay to have the same issues I came in for. This location the management and the staff are all scammers. There are soooo many complaints against this and all local stores. STAY AWAY. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. At this point the company doesn't care about my safety, I have a warranty on parts that they are not willing to fix, very shady business here.

Went in for a loud muffler connection near the engine. Service was great and they even showed me what needed replacement. But like a dummy, I gave them my cell number so they could call me when car wasn't done. Ever have this number since the beginning of cell service history with no robocalls. Within two hours of completing service they called for a satisfaction survey. And I said service was fine but to NOT use my number again. I even went back into the store with WRITTEN instructions not to buy, sell or trade my number with ANYone for any reason and they did so anyway. How do I know it was them? Because my phone didn't get smacked with nonsense calls until after my service there. THIS IS MY CELL!!!! They use up my minutes with this garbage and I'm sick and tired. Ignored it. Since then my cell has been blowing up with robocalls, extended car warranty calls, hang up calls, free vacation calls and the like.

MIDAS MUFFLER Sunrise Hyway, BAY SHORE N.Y.... Don't go there. They are rip offs. I'd give it less than 1 star if the system allowed for it. I've brought my car down there 2 times on 2 separate occasions for different repairs. Both times were given a run around on expensive additional repairs and almost ended up with paying 100's of dollars more on 2nd visit when at first refusing the additional suggested work.

Yesterday was the first time I'd gone to a Midas Mufflers with my 2006 Chevrolet Colorado. They are now located where the Exxon Mobil service station has been for several years and where I generally get my oil changed. I will NEVER be trading with Midas Mufflers again. The charge for the oil change was what I expected. However, they also said I needed a new air filter so got that and was shocked at the charge $26.99. Called an auto parts store and retail is $13.25. Then to add insult to injury, they inform me that the drain plug to the rear end is stripped and that they will get one from the dealer and I can return the next day and that it will be $3.00. The charge for this came to $34.17 a total of $110.17 for a simple oil change. When I questioned the amount I was told I should have gone to the dealer. Thank goodness there are other places to go in Cortez to get your oil changed. It is now leaking oil out of the crankcase.

Took my daughter's 08 Volks EOS in for oil change w/ $20 coupon. Refused to provide conventional oil change, blaming same on "company policy" since Volkswagen recommends synthetic oil change. Even continued their refusal when I pointed out that WE own the car, not VW, and with 109,000 miles on it, we will probably only keep it for 2-3 more years. But regardless - it is not Midas, or VW's business what type of oil we choose to put in OUR car - we OWN it. There is no warranty in effect on this car, if that is their "alleged" concern. I guess their "REAL" company policy is that they persuade a large percentage of their customers to use the much more expensive service, and avoid the low profit coupon business. Not smart - good way to lose customers for the long run.

I went to Midas 1281 William D. Tate Grapevine, TX 76051 and met the manager ** on 12/01/16. I needed two batteries for my diesel truck (1999 Ford F-350). He had both batteries in stock. He stated that there will be a $25.00 charge to install them in my truck. I stated most places install them for free and they could place them in the bed of my truck. I put the purchase total of $301.50 on my credit card.
