Let's face it: whenever an unexpected car repair comes up, we all hold our breath wondering how…read moremuch our bank account is going to shrink. Most of us like to poke our heads under the hood and pretend we know what's going on, but we usually don't. The next logical step is a repair shop, and many people default to the dealership because they think they can trust them more. In my experience, that's a mistake--dealerships often touch ten things, fix one, and charge you for everything. Luckily, I found Rich and his team. I recently bought a newer car with all the bells and whistles, and I was braced for a huge bill. Rich was incredibly professional, polite, and straightforward. I was actually in shock; he takes the time to educate you on the repair rather than just grabbing your keys and telling you he'll text you later. The estimate was a pleasant surprise, and better yet, there were no hidden fees at the end. The amount he quoted was exactly what I paid. They were on time, efficient, and had me back on the road in no time. It is such a relief to find this kind of service these days. It's nice to know you don't have to pull out a platinum card for a simple repair or an oil change. All the 5-star reviews you see here are 100% true. One quick tip: the shop can be a little tricky to find the first time, but trust your GPS! It will get you there, even if the turn looks a bit hidden. You cannot go wrong with this team!

I had been to Midas at my prior city and had both good and bad experiences. When I moved to San Ramon, my old Altima started showing signs of its age. Took it to the Walnut creek dealer and spent $500+ for major service and substandard service with more problems. Then took it to San Ramon dealer and they did a great job of detecting all issues but the quote they gave to fix was a shocker. After searching for a good place to take the car last Sunday, found out local Midas was open on Sundays and rode in. Richard gave a quote for the major problem that needed the immediate fix with courteous service. The place haws been recently remodeled and looks very pleasant inviting and kids friendly. Wi-Fi is additional advantage. Richard also drove us home during which I learned the place is under new ownership and they are making big changes to grow through customer satisfaction, which I could see from experience. After few hours, I called to find out how things were and he told the car is ready and that he is on his way to pick me up back to the shop!! The car transmission was nicely fixed and ride was smooth. Throughout the entire interaction, Richard's professional approach to the business with flexibility towards winning the business needs commended. The work done was great. The overall experience was so great, I setup this account and wrote a review for the first time! Will definitely go back in the future. read more

Review Title: $2,000 Paid for Unfinished Repairs & Zero Follow-up I paid nearly $2,000 at Midas in Dublin, Ca for three specific issues: a gas smell, an engine oil leak, and a brake/parking light failure. Despite keeping my vehicle from Monday to Friday, the shop failed to complete the work I paid for. The Facts: Unresolved Oil Leak: The car still smells like gas, engine is still actively leaking brown oil. Safety Issue: The left front parking/brake lights are still non-functional. I was charged for new bulbs, but the original bulbs are still out--proving the work was not performed. Zero Communication: I raised these concerns and was promised an "escalation" call from management. That call never came, and my follow-ups are now being ignored. It is unacceptable to charge a customer nearly $2,000 for safety-related repairs and return the vehicle in a dangerous, unrepaired state. Action Taken: Because the shop has gone silent, I am now disputing the charges and filing a formal complaint with the California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) for billing for work not performed. Warning: Save yourself the stress and the money. If you do use this shop, do not leave the lot without a point-by-point verification that every repair on your invoice was actually completed. read more

I brought in my vehicle via tow truck because my car had overheated . Shout out to AAA! But MIDAS DUBLIN did a wonderful job getting my car fixed and back to me within 5 hours of servicing it.

Great communication and friendly staff. Nice waiting room if you are waiting for your vehicle at the shop that offered water and snacks which i found warm and inviting especially if you need a quick snack to take off the edge of being " hangry " and the stress of wondering about your car while waiting for it to be fixed if you hadn't eaten prior to coming into Dublin Midas.

While the staff was kind and the service was fast, I'm not sure I'll be returning.

After reviewing the dealer's list of recommended repairs, he explained that several of the items were unnecessary and only fixed what was actually needed. The AC was repaired perfectly for about half the price quoted by the dealer. As an added bonus, he even cleaned my headlights at no extra charge. It's refreshing to find a mechanic who values honesty and fair pricing. This will definitely be my go-to shop for all of my cars going forward.

Jose was friendly and professional throughout the process. Unfortunately, the quality of the actual repair work was extremely disappointing and left me with the impression that the technicians lacked the experience needed for this job. I brought my car in to have all four door lock actuators replaced--a very common failure on older Hondas. I supplied four brand-new replacement actuators that I had already verified were the correct parts and functioning properly. Because I was replacing all four at once, I was offered about a 25% discount on labor. I dropped the car off first thing in the morning. About three hours later, while I was at work nearly 30 miles away, I received a call saying the parts I provided were incorrect and didn't fit. They told me they had left the door panels off so they could show me. I rushed back to the shop, only to discover there was nothing wrong with the parts at all. It took me only a quick look to confirm they were correct, and I plugged one of the new actuators in myself to demonstrate that it worked. Looking back, this should have been my first sign to take the car elsewhere, but I assumed it was simply an honest mistake. Later that day I received another call. I was told the rear actuators had been replaced successfully, but that both front door latch assemblies had supposedly "failed" and now needed to be replaced. This immediately raised red flags because there was absolutely nothing wrong with either front door before I brought the car in. The only issue was the faulty power lock actuators. When I picked up the car, the front doors were actually in worse condition than when I dropped it off: * The driver's inside door handle no longer worked, forcing me to roll down the window and open the door from the outside. * The front passenger door would only open if I manually held the lock pin up while pulling the handle. * I was still charged the quoted $550 (after the labor discount). Once I got home, I found even more problems. One of the front door panels had a tear in the upholstery, there were black grease smudges on the fabric and window, and the window no longer rolled up smoothly, likely because the door panel hadn't been reinstalled correctly. At this point, I no longer believed the diagnosis that both door latch assemblies had somehow failed at the exact same time they were replacing the actuators. It seemed far more likely that the door mechanisms had been reassembled incorrectly and the shop blamed the issue on "broken parts" instead of acknowledging a mistake. The next day I contacted Jay at S&R Motors in Hayward. He and his master technician inspected the car and called me later that day with the actual diagnosis. There was nothing wrong with either door latch assembly. They found that components from the latch mechanism had been removed and left loose inside the door. They retrieved the missing pieces, correctly reassembled both doors, and fixed the problems. When I picked the car up the next day, everything worked exactly as it should. Both front doors opened and closed normally, the inside handles worked properly, the door panels were correctly installed, and the window rolled up and down smoothly again. The outcome speaks for itself. The "failed" door latch assemblies that I was told needed replacement never needed to be replaced at all. The issues were caused during the repair and were resolved simply by properly reassembling the doors. I'm extremely disappointed with how this repair was handled and with what I believe was a misrepresentation of the actual problem. While Jose was courteous and helpful, my experience with the shop's technicians left me with very little confidence in their workmanship. I won't be returning for future service, and I would encourage anyone considering mechanical work beyond basic maintenance to carefully evaluate whether this shop has the experience required for the job.
