They not only got me in the same day to diagnose the issue but also were able to get the part the next day and fix it all within 24 hours. The price we paid was more than reasonable for the work done/part/labor and quick turnaround. We were told by other companies in the area that they weren't accepting new clients and/or it would take over a week to diagnose the problem, so we were thrilled about how quickly the mechanics at Jim's were able to get us in. We also were BIG FANS of Tank and Turbo they are amazing greeters!

I brought my car to this Midas for a significant fluid leak and left with a diagnosis of leaking…read morevalve cover gaskets and a full slate of other work--new tires, a stabilizer bar, and a control arm. The day after pickup, the car started jerking and bucking when I accelerated. I called right away and was told nothing about the repair could explain it. I continued on into a planned trip through Canada, and the problem never went away. When I finally had the car inspected at a Midas in Halifax, it took the technicians about twenty minutes to find a transmission line so deteriorated that part of it was missing entirely. When Halifax called Ellsworth to ask about it, Ellsworth confirmed their original diagnostic also picked up low transmission fluid and a possible issue with the line--but nobody told me at the time. I ended up paying for a valve cover repair that wasn't actually the source of the leak I came in for in the first place. The transmission still slips and has issues because they didn't disclose the issue, so I may still be on the hook for $6000 to $10000 for a transmission replacement. Because the part wasn't available in Halifax for a week, I was stuck in Canada far longer than planned and had to rent a car just to keep the rest of my trip from falling apart financially. To their credit, Ellsworth Midas did agree to cover the cost of the Halifax repair once the full story came out. But they haven't taken responsibility for the rental car or the extra week of costs that came directly from not telling me what they already knew. I also reached out to Mavis corporate consumer relations for help. The responses were slow and thin on detail -- I had to keep calling back myself just to get any kind of update, rather than being kept in the loop. I'm not writing this to pile on. The actual technical work may have been fine. But finding a serious issue during a diagnostic and not disclosing it turned a routine repair into a genuinely disruptive problem for my trip, and I think anyone considering this shop should know that.

He offered great service for a great price... so I highly recommend him if you need any repairs! Also, if you need to sit and wait around for a while, his shop is a *very* comfortable space. He even has free (good!) coffee and hot chocolate for everyone to enjoy, along with a checker-board, waiting area, and magazines.
