Not dusted at all.
Jackie S.

This place is outrageously expensive. $36 for a basic interior and exterior clean. In Chicago the same service would be $13-$25 so I expected it to be at least the quality level of that. Instead the $25 interior clean was nothing other than cleaning rubber mats. As you can see the car was left with crumbs and dust and this was after I asked them to go over the area again. They didn't vacuum the trunk either. Just a really subpar job made worse by the inflated price.

Ok, one star because like many before me have said, zero stars is not a Yelp option. Where to begin...my wife's car is a disaster. She just doesn't have the time or inclination to wash and vacuum. In an effort to be an amazing husband, I tell said wife, I'm going to get your car cleaned. I'm not talking about one of those gas station car washes, I'm taking it to Drive & Shine. Their tv commercials say they are awesome. Your car will be like new inside and out in 10 minutes. Now I know that's probably an exaggeration, but if I go first thing in the morning, my wait time should be minimized. Here is where it gets fun. I pull up second in line. I know I'm getting out at least close to the 10 minutes now. I pull up to the kid, and he recommends the Inside Out Special, only $40, that's a full $10 off of their regular rate. Now I'm regretting my decision to not run it through the gas station washer. But, by god, my wife is worth a ruby wash and clean interior right. This is a fun part, the wash guys are here, but the guys that do the inside don't start for another half hour. "Do you want to wash it and come back in a half hour for the inside?" He asks. Hell no! I'll just drive to Starbucks, add $8 to NYU car wash experience, and come back when the inside guys start. After I finish my half caf latte, I return for my prize. My helpful friend was still manning the check in station so I confidently ask for the $40 inside out special. Small problem here, it seems the inside guys are here, but they still haven't programmed his supercomputer to ring up the special that was prominently displayed in front of me. No problem, just pay him for the outside, and pay the other guy separately for the inside. $25 later, he sends me on my way to...you guessed it...a gas station drive through tunnel washer. After being dragged through with the windows up and transmission in neutral I pull around to the inside guys. A short wait and a kid, perhaps supercomputer guy's brother asks what I want. I want the inside clean like on tv I tell him. No problem, pull up and go to the waiting room. "Where is your receipt?" Inside guy asks. Well I threw it in the trash, but supercomputer guy said I had to pay you anyway I says. $15 later I'm back in business. "Your going to clean it like on tv right?" "I want he floor mats clean too". "There is some leftover cashew chicken gravy that leaked from the carry out box that needs removed." Inside guy takes a peek and assures me the cleaning vinyl mats is included. After a short wait, I'm called from the pack of poor schleps waiting for a clean car, handed my keys and I'm on my way. Except...the hood of the car still has bird poop residue, the dash wasn't wiped, the windows are streaky, and the cashew chicken gravy is still on the floor mat. There was almost no value for a $40 price tag. My recommendation is, just don't bother with this place. You could easily duplicate the value by throwing $35 out of your car window, drive through a gas station car wash, and have your 3 year old nephew detail the inside for you. One star because I can't give zero. Avoid this place

They NEVER went into the passenger side door to check the cabin air filter or lights.
Rowena D.

Ok so I went in to get my oil changed because I just purchased my used vehicle and I don't trust that the dealership did any of the regular check fluid items and I was right. Everything was bad from engine oil to tranny to coolant. But the reason I gave them 2 stars is because you would think you get what you paid for. They changed it but everything says it was checked and ok on the list and they don't check everything so the pricing is ridiculous! You think of you ask for a full service oil change you would get what is checked off on their checklist they show you. Thankfully, I knew that the cabin air filter was new because when I checked it on the car lot it was way too dirty and had lots of debris. So, just be cautious when going and make sure you know what you want before you purchase.

See all

Valvoline Instant Oil Change

Valvoline Instant Oil Change

We are in town to attend Daughter's graduation services at a nearby University. Daughters car has…read moremultiple needs, so after the services, Discount Tire recommends Valvoline on East Ireland. In a word -- Aaaaaaaamazing! Thankfully, there is no line and we were able to drive up into the empty bay. After a friendly and courteous greeting and inquiry re: needs, Matt and his crack team get us in and out in less than 30 minutes -- more like 20, to be exact. From centering to exiting, Matt explains each step of the process; the computer monitor clearly lists the services you are charged for; it also swings around, allowing you to view in real time, who is under your vehicle and what is being done; they are in constant communication with each other, via verbal calls and echo verification. I appreciate how the 3 man team works quickly, efficiently and most importantly safely. I am at ease, knowing that they are paying attention to the tasks in progress, are NOT on their phones, you see/hear them at all times. EVERYONE is safe. Can you tell how important "safety" is?! Especially for these gainfully employed young men who (most definitely are not 'ne'er do wells') showed up for work and have their whole lives ahead of them! If you are asked to turn the vehicle and it's wipers on/off, they provide a reasonable rationale behind it. Matt kindly reset the vehicle's service reminder for us, and gave us the window sticker reminder (listing recommended mileage & oil type replacement) -- Excellent! Some people want conversation, that's not why we're there. I appreciate how they respect our time -- No inane conversation/questions about the weather or invasive questions re: where are you from, what you're up to/plans are. Professional courtesy up front, state your business, then Matt and his team go all in like BOSSES. After the oil is changed, you are shown the new oil level, so you have eyes on it and have confidence in their work. After applying the online coupon, it was $133.73 for Daughter's Sport edition SUV: fluids topped off, filthy air filter changed out, 4qts full synthetic oil, multiple point safety check/verification in under 30 minutes. Pricey? Perhaps, but a more than fair price for SAFE, efficient, no-frills/no-pressure sales pitches. The time saved is WORTH IT! From a cynical health care professional in a very time driven, every detail is crucial role -- stellar, impressive work ethic/flow! This generation still has people who work hard to earn a fair day's wages. Thank you, Matt and team -- You all were great!

It's 8:05 on 1/12/24 and the store cannot open because the manager is not there so I've been…read morewaiting outside.

Nice people and the online appointment system works very very well. However, I noticed that all 19…read moreof the reviews on the Midas website were five-star ratings. So I submitted a review on the Midas website, and surprise! My two-star review never showed up. That makes me question their integrity. The reason for my two-star rating is that I took my 2004 Toyota sienna for quote on a muffler job. The quote came back at $770 to replace the muffler and the pipe between it and the catalytic converter. That's about half of what the van is worth at this point. So I went to my own mechanic just to double-check the cost. He couldn't fix it without replacing the entire exhaust system, which would be about $1300. BUT, he recommended a muffler shop that he said could do the work for less than $770. So, I gave it a shot just to make sure I didn't overpay. Turns out I got the SAME work Midas quoted me for $340. That's a BIG difference. I won't mention the name of the shop in my review so no one thinks I'm trolling Midas. I actually hope Midas takes a hard look at its business practices, both from a pricing standpoint and from an integrity standpoint. It's their prerogative to only show five-star ratings on their site, but terribly misleading as well.

Went for oil change, asked for additional charges from the $55 coupon for oil change to be approved…read moreover the phone before procedding, the $55 oil change then went up to over $100 when they added additional quarts of oil and charged for labor when the coupon doesn't include in the terms and conditions that labor wasn't included. Also had to then add on $700 for an Axle bulb that was torn.
