I called them to have my car towed when my car wouldn't start and AAA couldn't jump it. I believe I…read moregot an answer right away when I called. They were good about it. I told them I was looking for a locally owned garage instead of the national brand I was using. I also said I really needed my car back in a hurry to pick some stuff up. The car was on a trickle charger for a few days. I talked to Matt originally, I believe. The next morning they determined that the starter put in over the summer was bad; the oil drip pan was leaking; bad tie rod; struts need replaced. I agree, all good. I asked for the starter to be replaced along with the drip pan. I was good with the estimates for these, thinking these could be done quickly. We set that up. I forgot to ask how long that would take. I called 5-6 times over the course of the day and no one answered the phone. I think after about 30 rings it finally bounced to a voicemail for a different phone #. They finally called me around 4:00 pm. I told them I needed to know when my car would be ready and they never answered the phone. He was dismissive, which made me more frustrated, AND he was not grasping that I was getting more pissed as the convo went on. Apparently this was a different fella (Chad, I think?) He tells me it was the starter and he replaced it. He would work on the tie rod and the oil pan tomorrow. I told him I never asked them to replace the tie rod. He said he couldn't tell me how long I had on the rod so he was going to replace it. I told him I needed my car to pick some stuff up and would make other arrangements for the tie rod. I already told Matt this. Someone said they would work on the pan the first thing in the morning. I believe they did work on it first thing. Chad(?) picked me up. I was in a good mood, chatting, joking. By the end of the day I was screaming at Matt in my driveway. As I write this, I want to strangle them. I'm sure neither one can figure out why, even after reading this. They will both scratch their heads and blame their victim. Absolutely no self awareness what-so-ever between the two of them. I got my car home. I went to make my pickup over in Macedonia ( approx. 5 miles round trip). The car wouldn't start. I called 2-3 times before I got an answer. My previous frustration of their inaccessibility returned. I became anxious. When I explained what was going on, they were incredulous that I would have a 2nd bad starter. They would get a truck out asap to take care of it. Great. I asked if they had a loaner car I could use briefly for my pickup. I was not mad about the starter. I know shit happens. Matt said he would need my insurance card. I said I didn't have insurance right now because I don't go to many places these days. [I'm converting my house into a bed-&-breakfast.] Matt said he couldn't loan me a car for the pickup I desperately needed because I didn't have an insurance card. He was afraid of something happening and getting sued. Seriously. For a 5-mile local round trip. I asked what the odds were that he would end up in a lawsuit as a result of helping me. He said "probably low" but I was asking them to break a long-time procedure. I could visualize them clutching their pearls. Drama much, boys? I was fuming at his point but just let it go. I let the tow truck driver have it and asked him to pass it on. When my car was finished, Chad(?) called me to tell me it was finished and he started it 20 times to make sure it was good. In that call, I asked him if he needed the starter to be functional in order to replace the oil pan. He said "no." He proudly told me he wanted to wait to make sure the starter was the problem before doing anything else. I tried to get him to understand I told them many times I needed my car. I stopped the convo when he started changing his story. They dismissed me, a potential loyal customer, and treated me like I was a problem for them. The two of them dropped my car off because I told them I was never setting foot in that business again. When Matt handed me my key, his lips were puckered up like a sphincter. I congratulated him on saving his business from ruin. This is when I began screaming at him to get through to him that I was a human being. He didn't take me seriously until I told him that the half-million dollar property he was standing on was partially a result of my pre-covid career as an international business consultant for retail. All of the sudden I got some respect from this guy. I made sure he understood that this was not about a car, this was about a shitty experience pretty much from the get. These guys are not problem solvers. They are too self-absorbed and have no self-awareness. I will never go back and I will never recommend it. I'm going to Boyce over in Sagamore. They actually helped me out without a shit-ton of drama this past summer.

The test was free and they even took me early. I was out in 30 minutes. They have coffee, Internet and all that available when you wait. I was not disappointed with my appointment and the other customers that were there at the same time didn't look either.

He fixed my audio for $6, it was a blown fuse, that's it. The northfield tire "pro" told me my entire audio system computer needed replaced. I saved between $494-994. These people are either completely incompetent or blatantly scamming their customers out of hundreds to thousands of dollars. Do not under any circumstances go here. Ever. The only star is for Mike, he adjusted the price after the team working on my tire and trying to charge me, without ever confirming it with me, let alone discussing price. I wouldn't trust these folks babysitting a rock. Better luck, literally anywhere else.

I even offered to add a disclaimer to the work order to be signed absolving them from any liability.

They replaced the brake lines on the rear and the muffler. Very friendly employees, clean shop and waiting room. I'll definitely be telling others about the excellent service I received at Midas Northfield.

Dropped the car off told them the problems and mentioned, when braking, the car pulled a little to the left. Later they called with a diagnostic fee which seemed a little high but wanted it fixed. Someone called back the next day told me they had changed the oil and recharged the air conditioning and found leaks at both Schrader valves which they replaced (part of the diagnostic fee I imagine) and I needed $2000 worth of brake work, (front pads and rotors, rear shoes and drums, front calipers, BG brake system service). My response was, "that is a third of what the car was worth, put it back together and the car will be picked up. A total of $2875.81 of work and parts were declined by me. " Just to be on the safe side, two weeks later the same vehicle was taken to another auto repair shop to have the brakes checked, their receipt says "Inspect brakes, approximately 50% -OK". The brakes are working fine. There is probably a large gap as to what is needed for vehicle repairs and what the manufacturers suggests and how much money you have.

I later called Tim Lally Chevrolet and found the exact same part for $558. Even though I purchased my own part and brought it to them, I still ended up being charged more than what Mandy originally quoted me if I had gone through Spitzer for the repair. Communication was also terrible throughout the process. I called to speak with Mandy and never received a callback that entire day. Instead, she sent me the quote the next morning (Tuesday, April 28 at 9:45 AM). When I asked if I could bring my own part, I didn't get a response until Friday, May 1 at 2:20 PM. This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had, especially from a dealership.

Chris had made the statement to us that he hadnt been working with the company for long and had actually put in a lot of effort into picking the right place to work that valued their employees and customers... I think he picked the wrong place. The truck had several small issues but it also had 2 big safety recalls on it. We left the first day without purchasing the truck since we couldn't get the price down to a reasonable number but mainly because of the recalls. The recalls on the truck had to do with the defrost not working and the airbags not deploying and the pretensioner in the seatbelts not activating. Essentially the crash sensor is not working. We live in kentucky, were we are projected to get 11+ inches of snow in the next few days and the entire state had issued a state of emergency for the upcoming Winter Strom. We told them we would be heading back that night because of the upcoming weather. They called us before we could even leave the parking lot to tell us they could get to the price down to where we wanted and would get the recalls fixed before we left with the truck. Because of this, we got a hotel down the street and came back the next morning. The next morning, Steve -the sales manager thay we had the unpleasant experience of working with- sat down at the table with a piece of paper that had the price on it and said here's the price we agreed on with a range of monthly payments since we dont know your credit... are you ready to sign? We again brought up the safety recalls that had to be fixed before diving the truck 5 hours back home in a snow storm. His response to us was that we can sign for the truck today but he would not be fixing the safety recalls and that we could get them fixed ourselves. He said "its Saturday and our dodge dealership isn't going to just get you in to fix the recalls. We're a customer like everyone else." We packed our things and left. This dealership very clearly does not care about their customers time or safety. They have had this truck since November and the recalls were issued in early December. Its now the end of January. They have been letting their customers test drive a truck with a safety issue that could be life threatening and was even more okay in selling it. I would be very careful when dealing with this dealership. No wonder they're not accredited with the BBB!
