I have never been so enthusiastic about adding a positive five star review. Starting from the moment I walked in I received a professional greeting and a fantastic price with explanation for the work that needed to be done. At first I was a little apprehensive because I am familiar with only going to high-end performance stores to work on my car. After many odd experiences I decided to try the Midas touch. I'm glad to report that they did a super job at replacing some high-end suspension parts for my BMW. I give my unflappable hands-down five star diamond plus etc etc recommendation. I would like to mention Joe the service writer/manager for walking me through a fantastic experience. read more

I was having some squeaking in my brakes. Daniel the Manager shot me straight and didn't oversell me things I didn't need. He was polite and explained everything including the costs (material and labor). Daniel also went through the expected maintenance items over the next year or so of owning my car (based on mileage) to set some expectations of future costs / maintenance. I got a free consultation and maintenance plan. He had me in and out in only a few hours with almost no notice; I just pulled into the shop. I would definitely recommend this spot and will take my car back to Daniel for future needs. read more

Amazing service, I was there the other day for a quick flat tire and I got in & out in under a hour. Great prices with even better customer service read more

This place is awesome. Brought my car in dropped it off, they even gave me a ride home. Additionally the price was the best around by anywhere from 40-80 dollars and working with Daniel, the Manager, was an absolute pleasure. I will definitely be taking my car back again when the need arises. read more

Really impressed with the service I got from Midas. The guys there are quick and professional. The service manager, Alex is really knowledgeable and helpful. I will definitely be back! read more

I took my bmw here to get my brakes fixed and I had a great experience! Alex and everyone else there were so helpful and very informative. My car was done in a very timely manner, I would highly recommend them! Thank you for the wonderful customer service! read more

Twice I have stopped at this location for odd emergency car-related issues, and both times Alex has been amazingly friendly and helpful and has taken considerable time to address my queries and offer solutions or referrals, even though my issues didn't result in a formal repair at his shop. I really appreciate his time and expertise and how welcoming he is to customers, especially after some poor experiences elsewhere that I tried first. When I need a service that's on their menu, I will come back here again. read more

If you are looking for a place that will treat you fairly and honestly. Go to this location. I dealt with Jim. Jim told be exactly how much life I had left on my brakes. He told me that they didn't need to be replaced and sent me on my way. It is difficult to find people like Jim. I highly recommend Jim and this Midas location. read more

Another quick visit (less than a 1/2hr for oil change) with quality advice and customer service.

They service my fleet and do a pretty good job of it. I have 5 15 passenger vans, 2 mini vans and a Honda Accord. They have been able to fix all of my issues so far. I highly recommend Midas in general because of their waranty. I also take my personal cars to Midas. The owner Greg and his Wife are very nice as is Chuck. After every repair they call to check on the work and my overall satisfaction. I would only say don't take your car their as to not slow down work on my own. The pricing is a little higher than most of the indy shops but, the waranty is well worth the diffedrence. read more

Joe the service manager was fantastic. He worked with me on the price. I couldn't be happier with the service he provided.

I came in to Midas today for a 19-point inspection and was completely impressed by the customer service I received. Greg Connor is the owner and did everything possible to make this a great experience. I arrived early and they were able to get me right in for the inspection. Greg and his staff were friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I'd recommend this Midas location to everyone and will be back in the future. Thanks for everything Greg and everyone at Midas Newport Blvd! Jon W. read more

Thankful for honest service. Bmw, scion and a Toyota: all of our family has gone to this Midas within the last three weeks and have had professional service, reliable word and clean environment. Yay!!! So tired of the bad guys, Im relieved to deal w a good guy. I recommend read more

Great experience, my husband dropped off my car for break service, the super nice manager not only replaced the back roaters and brake pads he also tightened the front brakes which were squeaking but fine w/o upcharging us. I feel like we got a great deal and feel much safer driving my car now. We would recommend this shop to anyone looking for fair prices and excellent service. read more

The staff here was very professional and friendly. They worked hard to get my car done quickly and it is now running great. I definitely trust them to take great care of my car anytime. read more

I brought my 450sl in to have an exhaust hanger replaced. Alex,the store manager, explained that he had just replaced this on another vehicle and unfortunately didn't have the part. He explained that if I could get the part he would install it right away. He gave me directions to a place down the street where I could get the part along with the cost. After grabbing some Starbucks, I returned w/parts in hand and Alex had my car on the rack in two min. He found an additional 'doughnut' hanger that had deteriorated and was missing. Although a straightforward job, it does require some elbow grease and very difficult to do at home without a lift. I was out of there in 5m which I appreciated as I had somewhere to be. Personable and professional. In addition, I was surprised that there was no charge. Thanks Alex! Will bring the SUV for the hitch install. Saturday is off to a nice start! read more

Alex and his team are as good as it gets. Alex is honest, friendly, knowledgeable, and fast. I've brought both of my cars to him over the years with different issues and he's fixed every issue at a fair price, quickly, and without further issue. Highly recommend. read more

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE !!! Avoid like the plague! Let me start by saying it's not the tech's it's the new owner or manager whatever he is. The guy is a complete clown and apparently likes to play games. I say this after my experience with Manny the owner/manager. I had work done there a few months prior and to replace a clutch. We pulled it and it needed a new steal insert for the aluminum flywheel, this part was back ordered so I just had them put a regular steal one in for now and then once the part came in I'd schedule the swap. The manager said hay just leave it here will put it in a safe place and then whenever you're ready. So no problem right, I figure simple enough. So about a month almost two and the part is finally in but the shop is slammed and really I'm fine just want to get this back in whenever they have time but I know it's a big job so I'm patient. So here's where everything went sideways. I call the shop up to see if they are going to have time before the holidays and I'm told no they're still pretty busy and asked if I wouldn't mind picking up the flywheel for now since it's been some time, I get it and I'm totally cool so I tell them I'll be down next week. Now its Saturday literally 3 days after I spoke to them and there's someone new on the phone, Dan's not available but no problem I'm told by Manny to come get my flywheel. So I drive down to Costa Mesa only to then find out that low and behold its missing! And Manny has no clue as to where it went. I see the tech there that worked on the car and also knew about the flywheel and he can't really look me in the eyes so I know something is up. Anyways, I ask him are you going to replace it?/ and I'm told to "Pound sand" lol I'm like WTF! So I let him know I will for sure be writing a review and for sure telling everyone I know and all my club members about this bs. It gets better. So the next day I get a call, one of the guys from the shop to let me know that the day before I came down to pick up the flywheel, Manny recycled it! He's said that he had told him what it was and who it was and Manny's answer was "well that's his problem for leaving it" and tossed it in the scrap bin. So now fast forward to the Saturday where I'm calling this clown and he's telling me to come drive down to pick up a part in which he damn well knows he just threw out not even 24hr ago only to then tell me not his problem and to pound sand!!! I've never experienced anything like this especially from a shop that is nationally branded. I'm still beside myself that someone like this can be associated with Midas or any place of business. For me it's a 400.00 lesson and for everyone else, who knows what it's going to cost people. By the way, while I was there that day to pick up the nonexistent flywheel I saw Dan (former manager) standing just a few doors down, he's over at Expertec and wasn't aware of what had happened but said he'd help any way he could, he apologized and even confirmed that the flywheel was sitting on t he back table waiting for me as they pulled it down after we talked. Again, I don't know why this new guy did this to me but I know it's bad business and there was clearly malicious intent which to me is enough to not only run away quickly but it's also enough reason for me to take the time to post about it and share my experience with everyone to hopefully prevent anyone else from having to deal with someone so immature or malicious as this. read more

Alex is the BEST and most attentive manager I've ever met at an automotive shop. From the first time Repeatedly went above and beyond to help me and my car with professionalism and care! We will continue to come back because of his great customer service and quality care. read more

I am currently happy with the service. We had our left front axel valve replaced and they did the work within 2 1/2 hours. I was a little disappointed when i didn't see the military discount that we were told we would receive on the receipt even after we reminded him a couple of times. Maybe it was built in, but I would have thought we would have seen it. It seems he ignored our request, saying he would give it so that other people could hear him saying he would give us one. I don't know, but it appears they do good work, we will see. Oh yeah and our 19.99 oil change ended up being 44.00...That was supposed to have been given a military discount as well. read more

Alex, the store manager, was excellent. I called him ahead of time and told him I was stuck in traffic. Alex kept the store open to wait for me and gave me a great deal on a oil change. Extremely helpful and I will definitely return! read more

Joe is awesome! He is incredibly helpful, friendly, professional, and truly enjoys taking care of his customers. He did exactly what he said he would and then some in a very timely manner. I would definitely recommend this Midas location for any car service! read more

I drive and maintain a fairly old vehicle that spent most of its life in the northeast. So, I'm pretty picky about who handles it. Kenneth will be doing or facilitating the work on my vehicle for the foreseeable future. Easy to communicate with, accommodating of my schedule and commuting needs, and very transparent. He didn't try to up-sell me on other services; however, he did compile a list of things I can expect to look at in the coming months with a reasonable time/mileage table. (I know this because I was already familiar with he future problems he brought up.) There were other gentlemen in and out of the office working on other cars, and they were also friendly, but not saccharine. The lot and the officer were as clean as a garage can be. Go here if you want to cut to the chase and have your auto work done right. read more

Went to get muffler and exhaust tip installed on truck. Was nervous about getting ripped off considering I do not know a ton about cars. Was very surprised. Greg, the owner, was super helpful. He matched online prices, explained everything, called in his welder on his day off. Very kind and professional staff. Don't treat you like an idiot if you do not know a lot about cars, which goes a long way. read more

I know that I have already written a review, but after the service I've had today I feel compelled to write another. Greg and his team are the absolute best people that I've ever worked with, not only in regards to my vehicle issues, but also my all around well being in doing what's best for me and helping offering the best service in every which way that they can. Greg is the owner and he will help you out in every single area that he can. He will take care of you because that's who he is, he is a man of integrity and loyalty. When you think about your vehicle, it's something that's a large part of your life, weather that's your everyday, or your second home, or just for fu, It's a material possession that you have for a very long time and put a lot of work into. Therefore you should always be seeking the best of service as well as a good relationship with the one who is doing work on your car and the shop you can truly feel you can trust and bring your car to with feeling of absolute confidence that you'll be taken care of and not ripped off or taken advantage of. Greg and the Midias team here will offer you this experience 100%. I am lucky and so happy to say that this is my home service spot and my "car sanctuary". Go here, you will not be disappointed. read more

We bought a car from Midas/ Seaside. We met Greg and right from the start we had an great experience. Greg explained to us that we would be a customer for life and he was right! Not only was the car in the great shape he told us it was (I had it checked), but he followed up with a very through service plan! A few months later after a small fender bender, Greg was great again! Advised us with insurance and repairs and we were back on the road again. You will have a great experience with Greg! Thanks! read more

They say they do mufflers but they can't spot weld a repair on a muffler? Most all mufflers require welding. All the guys in the shop were standing around and not working. They couldn't even look at what I was asking help for. PURE LAZY! read more

Great Service ! I had a flat Tire they found a nail !! They patch my tire for free !! I got my oil change took 20 mins fast service !!!

Brandon, Jayden and Alex were so helpful to me. They gave me the best consultation and services. I got my car fixed in the short amount of time and now is in good condition. read more

Used to come here for all my Chevy Tahoe needs. Dan was amazing. A guy named Eddie is the new store manager, horrible customer service, only wanted to take my money. Wanted to charge me $54 to check my engine light. I went next-door to pep boys, they did it for free and it turns out I just need a new gas cap. Time to find a new mechanic. Any recommendations anybody? read more

Took our car there for a major repair. If it wasn't for Alex's expertise our car would probably still be there. Alex took over the repair on our car after being transferred from another Midas location. He has over twenty years of experience. Ask for Alex. read more

Talk about the best service!!! Joe provided excellent, professional, above and beyond service. Joe has regained my trust in "gentlemen mechanics", who I thought no longer existed. :) Greg, the owner, introduced himself and cheerfully stated how he appreciated my business. Usually you read that stuff, but when the owner goes out of his way to meet his customers, says it, and actually follows through, it really means something. :) This Midas has gained a customer and her family for life!!! Long story short, we live in Downey and my daughter attends UCI. Her car broke down 30+ miles away from home. Being a typical broke student, my daughter and I called 20 different places to see who can give us the better deal on what we thought was just the alternator. I know my prayers were answered when we ended up at this Midas. It turned out to be more than the alternator; her 2003 Altima needed a rebuilt transmission!!! Needless to say, what would've cost an arm and a leg, ended up costing much less. Through Joe's numerous connections, he got my daughter a very good price on the transmission (we know, because we called several places to compare pricing). Joe took care of the alternator and made sure all the little details of the car were taken care of (oil change, power steering fluid, air filter, wiper blades, etc.) at a fraction of the cost. Through it all, Joe kept us abreast of the process, he explained everything that was happening to the last detail, and even got her the BEST deal on a rental. Joe thought of every possible way that he could make a very stressful event just a breeze in the air. Thanks, Joe. YOU ROCK!!! The 2003 Altima is running like a champ again. I also took my 1997 Ford Expedition. It's been running so smooth ever since Joe took care of every little maintenance detail. Yes, we are willing to drive 30+ miles to this Midas even for an oil change. Joe, Greg, and the rest of the staff are that GREAT!!! :) :) :) read more

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the Midas on Newport Blvd in Costa Mesa! I have recommended a few of my friends and they can say the same as well! I am originally not from the area and as independent girl out on her own, finding a car repair shop that you feel comfortable with and trust can be a struggle! This is now my go to car repair place. I have been going here for a few years now and will not go anywhere else. I have never had a bad experience here and everyone is so nice, up front and honest! The staff is nothing but helpful! Thank you Midas on Newport Blvd! read more

Just a heads up if you purchased "lifetime" oil changes from the previous owners. The new management has changed their guidelines on these. They only will do one per week which obviously gets filled up pretty quick, and on appointment only from Monday to Friday. After asking some others as well, kind of surprising to OC customers that have been going here for years. Makes sense that they would revisit some of the previous management commitments, but I was shocked in the initial lack of understanding from the service personnel or looking at the bigger picture. I would typically get all maintenance done here, not just basic oil changes. They let me walk right out the door, and I just went to the Firestone down the street. Keep it in mind. read more

I've never ever been treated so well by any car place in my life. I'm so glad I found somewhere I don't dread going to when I have car issues. They are always so good to me and go above and beyond to help me understand the problem and they find the least expensive solution. I've started sending friends and family to them and they all say the same-- they're the best!! read more

I went to Midas unsure about the service or the quality, but I thought I would give it a try. I was so impressed with the service. I had my brakes replaced, oil changed, and my wheels aligned. Alex Farias the store manager was very professional clearly explaining all the options. I highly recommend to others and you can be sure I will be returning in the future. read more

This place used to be good. Old owner was great. The new owner sucks. Terrible costumer service. Go somewhere else.

This is my favorite Midas location to come to for oil changes, tire check, etc. Alex was very helpful during my visit. He made my wait bearable and tou can tell he values his customers. read more

There also should be a flag rating, as I would give this place a RED! I took my car in to have the muffler checked and was told, "yes worn out, needs to be replaced. I was then quoted a price over $300.00 "installed" but, I had to pay 100% up front before the part could be ordered. When I responded that I wouldn't pay until the job was done, I was shown the garage door. I then called another muffler shop, Angels, in Costa Mesa and what a difference. When I called and told Ken, the owner, my make and age of car, he said, right away, I shouldn't need a new muffler. I brought the car in the next AM and sure enough it was just a small section of the exhaust pipe that needed replacement, at a fraction of the cost. Midas has the big brand name and know I know how they pay for all the advertising...Be Ware! read more

They were very honest, told me I actually didn't need any work done, and were very friendly and helpful. They also have great deals. :) Syrena read more
