    My accident waiting to happen!
    Jim A.

    Needed repairs & this was convenient location right off Rt66. Pulled into front as likely the manager was outside helping older gentleman. Great to see this kind of customer service as soon as you arrive. I walked-in, waited only for few seconds & "Matthew" from outside immediately addressed me. The older gentleman left while smiling, another good sign. Outside has plenty of parking & inside is well taken care of. My car made it into shop fast & repair was being taken care of however a major problem I wasn't aware of, was brought to my attention. This was possibly a life saver. Thank you Matthew & to the other mechanic because this could have resulted in a crash. Manager Matthew didn't try to sell any unwanted service but a sharp eye likely saved me $100's. Once we sorted out the details turns out price was more then reasonable and work is high quality! I have used another Midas on Glebe Rd with very good results. Now I have another I can rely on. Not sure but aftwr reading reviews I think the few negative comments are likely some previous employee. I think (because I asked) the manager said they took over in 2019 or 20. This shop keeps up the good work they will definitely help you & maybe secure your safety without knowing it.

    This is the tie rod assembly Chris said couldn't be taken off the car without breaking the entire steering.

    Update: Bought a $20 tool to take off the entire tie rod assembly. If Chris really wanted to sell extra work, he could have told me that since the outer tie rod wouldn't budge, they would have to replace the entire assembly and sell and extra part and an hour of work. Save your time and money and stay away if Chris is working there. It took me less than 15 minutes to take the old part off and Chris had it for 8 hours. No fluid leaking from the steering assembly so that pretty much invalidates his theory. Outer ie rods move via ball joints, meaning they spin freely and cannot break the steering. Any car's steering is well bolted to the frame of the car by very big bolts, replacing a tie rod will not damage the system but then again, these jokers could probably manage to mess that up. You can see in the photos where they tried to spin the assembly by the bolt and chewed up the threading. No wonder they couldn't get it off. How come a regular dude in his garage can do the job these "professionals" can't? SAD! Looked at my control arms, they are all fine. Bushings are still good. Chris tried to tell me my alignment would be better if I replaced these parts. Your control arms are part of your suspension and have nothing to do with an alignment. My car is front toe only, meaning you can only adjust the alignment by the tie rods. Check out my other photos to validate everything I've posted before. Will also post pics soon of the brakes that were "metal on metal" but actually just needed to be replaced in the near future. If brakes need to be changed, then say "you could use a brake job soon" and not try to scare people that you think don't know better. Also, Chris left me a very long and strange voicemail after my previous review. Sounded unhinged and confused as to why he got called out for trying to rip someone off. What was really creepy was him saying "I just want to talk" about 5 or 6 times. He's probably not a mechanic himself and comes from a service manager background, meaning he gets paid commission to sell work. What a joke! If i ask for a tie rod, then sell the whole assembly and not something unrelated to the work I asked for! He couldn't even get that right!

    Competent and fair. I never feel as if I'm getting ripped off. This is the only place I'll bring my car if I can help it.

    Fair and friendly, but super slow. Drop your car off even if you're planning on doing something simple like an oil change or brake repair.

The thing I appreciate the most is that they are very open and honest about what actually needs to be fixed vs can be deferred. I've also always felt comfortable declining services and never felt pressured to get anything that I didn't need to. One time we had a tire puncture and thought we were going to get it repaired at the shop but quickly realized we would need all four tires replaced so decided to get it done at Costco tire center. We asked if they could help us put the spare on so we can drive the car back and they did everything with no questions and free of charge. Highly recommend!

    I'm extremely disappointed with my recent experience here. I previously had my vehicle inspected at…read morethis shop on December 20, and it passed inspection despite the same minor damage to the rear light being present. This crack has actually been there since October 2022 and has passed Virginia safety inspections multiple times since by a myriad of safety officers at different shops. Now I'm suddenly being told that the vehicle will not pass because of this crack, and I was quoted - nearly $500 to replace it which is way more than twice what I have found this repair can cost elsewhere. When I questioned why something that has repeatedly passed inspection is suddenly being rejected, I was told they have a new safety inspector. I understand that inspectors must follow Virginia's requirements, but that explanation raises concerns about this shops consistency. Customers should be able to expect the same inspection standards regardless of which employee happens to perform the inspection. What was especially concerning to me was the apparent lack of a consistent standard operating procedure. If one inspector repeatedly approves an existing condition and another rejects it, there should at least be a clear and consistent explanation for the difference. I have no issue repairing something that legitimately does not meet Virginia's safety requirements. My issue is the combination of inconsistent inspection practices and then immediately being quoted nearly $500 for the repair. Given the history of this light passing inspection and the amount being charged to replace it, the entire experience unfortunately felt like a money grab to me. This experience has seriously damaged my confidence in this business. I would recommend that anyone receiving a rejection here ask to be shown the exact reason for the failure and get a second opinion and outside repair quote before authorizing any work.

Mechanics are honest, don't overcharge, and in my case, actually undercharged me the last time I was in. They only charged me for 1/2 an hour of work, $80, even though two different mechanics had looked at it multiple times to try to identify a slight rattling noise. They said it is not a safety issue, they will look again the next time I get an oil change, and if it gets worse they will be able to identify and fix it but as it isn't a safety issue they don't want me to put money in it unnecessarily at this time. They did let me know of some repairs I will need in the next year. I never feel like anyone there talks to me differently or charges me differently for being a woman, which is a stereotype you hear about mechanics (though honestly I've dealt with that more with HVAC techs, but I digress). When I dropped my car off on a thursday evening for a friday appointment, Rich called me back an hour later just to let me know he had looked at it already and didn't think it was anything to be concerned about but would do more work in the morning, which i really appreciated. When I was leaving after picking up my car I spoke to a woman who had been going here for, I think 15 years and said Rich takes great care of her antique car. The only other thing I'll add is the store has stickers on the door in support of gay rights and BLM, which you just don't see at mechanic shops, and I feel good about supporting a shop that supports my values. My assumption is the stickers signify all customers are welcome and will be treated fairly, which maybe isn't always the case in mostly straight white male-owned spaces.
