THE GOOD: This small…read moreshop is ran by a guy name Earl. Seems to have been in business for quite some time. I go to him on a Monday 10/20/25 for a smog diagnosis that he charged $95, about the standard price. He was able to complete the inspection and gave me a diagnosis back same day (approx. 4 hours total time). He offered a free throttle body clean because upon their inspection, the throttle was dirty and had a lot of carbon build up. I was notified the vehicle would be ready for pick up at 4:15PM, I told him I was going to be there 4:30PM. When I had arrived, earl was nice enough to wait around after they had closed for me to receive my vehicle. THE BAD: After I paid him for the diagnosis, he told me what was wrong and gave me the keys, then promptly left with a friend that was awaiting him. Right after I pulled off in my car, something was awfully wrong. The idle RPMS was sitting at almost 2K RPMS on a cold start and would come to about 1500-1900RPMS the entire time. As I was driving while hitting the gas you could hear what sounded like was a vacuum leak somewhere and car has some minor lost power. I call Earl immediately after, but he was already gone from the shop; Earl told me to just bring it in first thing in the morning. I bring the vehicle back to Earl on 10/21/25 a day later and present to him what had sounded like a vacuum leak. He was quick to check into but also VERY QUICK TO DENY RESPONSIBILITY. I told him that the vehicle was 110% not like this when I had brought it in and they definitely may have knocked a hose or two loose or something. They first told me they would not doing anything like that, and wanted to run a smoke down test in-front of me to check for vacuum leaks. I was told by Earl, they only took off the air intake boot to access the throttle body to spray carb cleaner and there's absolutely no way they caused any of the issues presented. They run the test, and there shows no leaks from the smoke. They also run a brake clean spray to see if it will choke the RPMs down (another method to check for vacuum leaks). We go for a couple of test drives back and forth, the mechanic that Earl has working for him, poor guys age is catching up to him and cannot hear a huge vacuum leak for his life. Earl claims to hear it as well, but cannot figure out what it is. Earl first blames the brake booster, and is adamantly asserting that he or his shop did not cause this. ***Earl THEN DISCOVERS A MISSING connection on my VSV, but the old mechanic claims it won't cause any vacuum leaks or noises and just caps it off.***. They then proceed to say the noise and high RPMS is an exhaust leak and show me where it is leaking. You can see exhaust smoke coming out the pipe right below the manifold but I wouldn't say it was sufficient enough to be causing such a vacuum leak noise. They adjudicate the issue is an exhaust leak, therefore, they did not cause it and cannot fix it anyways. It is worth mentioning I am not by any means a mechanic. I am what you call a garage monkey. I understand some concepts, but no way am I to be at the SUPPOSED level these guys are at. I have my doubts so I go home and take apart the air intake boot and further inspect the throttle body. There it is, lo and behold a vacuum line disconnected from the throttle body that was suppose to be connected the VSV. To summarize everything , Earl is a truthfully a honest guy it seems, but is seemingly incompetent on the work and guys working for him do rushed, shoddy, crude, messy work. It's not hard taking off an air intake boot and reconnecting all necessary hose lines back. Paid $95 for some problems they claim they didn't cause and don't believe the customer, ONLY to take it back home and undo the bad work they did. Crazy stuff and would not go back. Be wary of what you're doing here.

Plus - they had an online Coupon for $ 12.00 this time to round it down from their new higher price of maybe $ 72'ish. However - MIDAS seemed to Advertise a Great $ 39.99 Deal Online. Upon Googling the ,' Nearest Location to Albany ' - I found a Store in El Cerrito near to Central Avenue on San Pablo Avenue about 3 weeks Ago. Mr. Paul , the Store Manager, was Polite on the Fone - Informing me that he could handle my request the same day if I reached there within about 30 minutes which I did. Upon arriving- I was greeted by Mr. Mirani who seemed an old hand @ the Trade having owned a Midas Store himself in the Past. S..o..o I decided to sign ' The Work Order '. I may've reached the store around 1:30 - 2p.m.'ish. Was informed there would be a wait as they had other vehicles ahead of me. I had only had 1700 miles since my last change around 04/25, but Of Course most Shops I've talked with Inform me that there is yet another ' consideration ' involved ' which is ' Oil Viscosity Breakdown ,' from Car sitting in Park Mode !!! As it's an Older Vehicle I toil hard to maintain - I will usually bring it in for an Oil Change as soon as the 15% Oil Life lamp on the Dash lights up. Since it was my first visit for an Oil Change - I asked the Staff present what brand and weight of Oil they use. To my ,"" UTTER SHOCK & Chagrin," the STORE MGR., Mr. PAUL retorted : " @ the Price you are paying it shouldn't matter !!! To this comment I retorted : " I shall remember that " !!! The above " Unprofessional'ism " put a " Bad Taste in my Mouth " !!! That comment was Unexpected & Uncalled For - Especially as the same Indovidual had been Very Polite & Professional thus far. In fact about a week prior - I had called as ' An Acquaintance ' stated her Muffler needed Replacement, and Mr. Paul had offered a hassle free ' Fone Quotation ' !!!! Whilst there , a Shop Hand ' had approached me to know where my wheel lock key was placed in the Car that indicated to me that a Tire Rotation might be Included with the Oil Change. S..o..o the next time I saw the Store Manager , Mr. Paul , in the Front Office where I was offered to wait on the Couch. He confirmed that ' Yes it is '. I shared I'd gotten my Newer TIRES quite Recently from San Pablo Tire & Wheel on 23rd. St. quite recently. Mr. Paul ,: " Oh U mean ' One Of those Places ' - whatever that means !!! Been goin' there forever, and the New as well as past owners have always been Very Honest & Reliable for me sans " SARCASTIC Comments " !!!! I had Good Luck @ a MIDAS Store in Sunnyvale on El Camino Avenue during Covid - 19 on July 4th. 2020 whilst attending a Wedding in Santa Clara. I remember they'd worked on my Brakes & Struts since I'd found the Ride ' A tad Bumpy ' !!!! The Owner-Operator was Awesome applying various Coupon Specials and Driving me to Grab some Lunch as Promised.
