I was abruptly reminded why I don't use them anymore. I went in for a simple annual inspection. I passed but was told that I actually needed rear brakes and rotors - on my vehicle with under 50,000 miles on it. I don't trust them so I took my vehicle to this Midas shop I have been doing business with. Jesse, the Assistant Manager, checked out my rear brakes and rotors and, surprise, there was absolutely nothing wrong with them! I have dealt with Jesse previously and found him to be a very talented mechanic and management employee. Once again the local shop pulled their dishonest diagnosis of my vehicle and, once again, Jesse and Midas proved their integrity. This Midas shop is the only shop I will ever have my vehicles serviced by. Competency and integrity mean everything! This Midas has them both!!!

This pep Boys has been my Pep Boys for years now, ever since my old mechanic left the area about 6…read moreyears ago. I've gone to Keith, Bill, Jason, and the rest for everything from brakes to inspections and I laugh at people that even remotely think that their time is somehow more valuable than those they are entrusting with their safety as well as the safety of their family members. If you take 5 mins to run through my inspection I may actually be sort of a skeptic of whether or not any of the work you were supposed to do was actually ever performed. Oh, you need time to pull the wheels to inspect my brakes? OK Oh, you're checking to make sure the wipers that keep my windshield clean are working properly? OK Wait, this isn't fast food and I am going to wait to get proper service? OK I actually understand and comprehend that all these things take time and those trained to do this job are the safe net that ensures that as I travel from A to B that I not only get there safely, but they are not or have never sold me something I did not actually need... How can you say that and be sure of that statement, Carmine? Well, I'm glad you asked! I had a Grand Am that was my baby as most that know me know, great car, nearing classic in age...and over the years as I needed work done, I went to the boys. I thought I needed rear brake work done since I had previously had my front everything worked on; pads, rotors, calipers, blah blah blah... So anyway I brought my baby in and was under the assumption I was going to need about $300+ worth of rear work done. I told Bill to do what needed to be done and to give me a call when they were done. I no sooner got back to my house when my phone rang and Bill told me that if I wanted to that I could come pick up my car anytime. I was surprised with how soon they had called and he told me that it needed a simple brake tuneup that would cost me less than $30 instead of the $300 or so that I thought I was going to spend. Yeah, this is why I go to this particular Pep Boys, because the guys here have always taken care of my needs and have never gouged me on a repair I did not need. I just brought a friend of mine there with a 1997 Town Car Limited Edition...beautiful car with some rare and discontinued parts (the thing apparently has multiple cables in the emergency brakes alone), the boys had to hunt and search and are still seeking out one cable that Lazare Lincoln can't even get because now they must search salvage and used parts to be able to complete the inspection...these guys are currently on the hunt to complete a job and to make it right. THAT is a quality work ethic...trust me, I could save time and distance going elsewhere but I'm willing to travel a little to ensure it's getting done right.

Worst experience at a shop by far. Failed inspection a vehicle in working order for "rust on the…read morerotor" and said the vehicle would need all new brakes and rotors. Failed a second vehicle with 12k miles for a tiny line of rust on the back rotor. When questioned, the service advisor's excuse was "it's up to the inspectors discretion", a corporate translation of "We decide if we want to fail you to scam you on unnecessary repairs". Don't fall for their bullcrap and certainly do not bring your vehicle here. Someone really ought to do the hidden camera exposure on this place where a mechanic runs through the vehicle and then exposes all the scammed upsells!

I decided to gave them another try (due to their proximity to my home). This time they did not disappoint. Jesse Cater - the new Manager - was fantastic and I complimented him on how well I heard him dealing with other customers while I was waiting for my vehicle. Josh, the technician who did the work on my vehicle was top notch. He did a wheel alignment for me and I watched the computer screen on the alignment machine while he worked. He was not satisfied to get the alignment specifications close. I watched as he got the specification perfect! Most had not been that precise during my past visits. To sweeten the deal, the Manager honored a discount coupon I had from a competitor - and he did not hesitate to do so. Jesse and Josh made this a great experience.
