    Javier, the manager, claimed "there's nothing wrong with that. That's how we do all the exhaust repairs."

    Do NOT bring your vehicle to Midas in Champaign, due to Dishonesty and Shoddy Work. They charged $240 for an exhaust system repair. Within a week of the initial repair, I brought my car back twice with continued exhaust symptoms. Their explanation was a broken motor mount, with an estimated cost of $350. I brought my car to a reputable auto shop for a second opinion only to find NOTHING wrong with the motor mount. Instead, the continued exhaust issues were from the obscenely crude welding job Midas did. They attempted to weld and instead filled the remaining gap with clumps of putty to cover up the horrible welding. When I confronted the manager at Midas, Javier, my concerns were dismissed and a refund was denied. He proceeded to gaslight me by saying "there's nothing wrong with that weld. This how we do all exhaust repairs." After calling Midas headquarters, I brought my car to the Midas in Peoria, where they had to replace the entire exhaust pipe due to Champaign's horrible work.

    This is what the alignment of my car looked like within 2 miles of driving to Tire Barn to have a printed report ran for me.

    To finish off the total was actually less than what Patrick had quoted me even a few dollars.

When my wife or I would bring our cars in for routine maintenance we would get a call saying that they found other problems that should be addressed and since they had the car apart it would be less expensive if they were addressed now. The suggested repairs they estimated were three times the cost the car was originally brought in for. I would ask if they thought it was critical and they would say it should be repaired like I didn't have a choice. The first time this happened I thought well I have been coming here for 20 years they must be right so I went along to the tune of $2500+. A year after this I brought the same car back in for the rear brakes, and I again get a call that says they found more repairs that should be done about $1700.. This time I was really perplexed as the car was just repaired a little over a year ago why all of a sudden is it needing so many repairs and why didn't they find these new repairs a year ago? So I asked the service advisor and the answer I got is this is part of their Courtesy Check practice which according to the shop manager was started 4 years ago. I asked them to please stop the practice as I was not interested in their constant barrage of suggested up-sales. I also said if they didn't stop I would not return. The service advisor replied that it was store policy and he could not do that. The shop manager also said the same. So I told them that I would not be coming back.

Problem diagnosed as a leak from the valve stem. Replaced it for $56.61 total. Quick, friendly service. Didn't realize until after I got home that the repairman had neglected to fill the tire. Initially thought that the pressure monitoring system was just slow to update, but later had to fill the tire myself to the correct pressure. No big deal, but an annoyance. 5 days later, my tire pressure was low again. Took it back in. Told by the manager on duty, Shanell, that I had a nail in my tire. I expressed my disbelief that I was that unlucky and questioned whether the problem had been misdiagnosed at the first visit. Shanell was rude and dismissive of my concerns. Realizing that I wasn't going to get anywhere arguing with her on an issue that neither of us could prove, I told her to go ahead with the repair. Cost $35.81. As I was driving away, noticed my pressure monitoring system update: still showed a low pressure in that tire. Took it back immediately and asked them to fill it up. Shanell's attitude was again that of being annoyed and definitely not in any way apologetic. Repairman filled the tire and I was back on my way. Overall, Tire Barn provides fast service, but they are sometimes careless, omitting basic parts of service (such as filling a tire to the correct pressure on two consecutive trips). Customer service is variable and seemingly dependent on which manager is on duty at the time. I am willing to chalk up having to make two visits to bad luck (running over a nail just days after having the exact same time repaired), but the rudeness during the second visit left a bad taste in my mouth. I will be looking for alternatives for my future tire service needs.

By June my brand new tires on the rear look just like the old ones. There is an obvious negative camber. Little research shows that it's a known issue with accords and civics 2018-2023. The car needs aftermarket adjustable camber arms in order to fix it. That's not your fault. However I was given the car back believing that my wheels were in alignment and had no warning that you were unable to fix the camber. The negative camber is easily visible to the naked eye when you know what you're looking for. There is no chance someone performing an alignment could miss it. But they sent me on my way with brand new tires that are now trash. I've put new adjustable camber arms on it now as well as new shock absorbers and another set of tires. Now it needs alignment done properly. I went back in and they want to charge me for a new alignment because the 3 month warranty expired a week ago.... It was never aligned, plus I brought it in a month ago and told them the issue and they wanted to sell me new tires and shocks which wouldn't have fixed the issue. In the future if you're unable to properly do a service for any reason, just communicate that so I don't have to find out like this.
