Come in with a cooperative attitude and you'll get the services you need. Ricky was very helpful and kind throughout the 2 day repair (alternator and belt) and everyone was communicative! read more

came in for simple tire replacement for one flat tire. had to go get the tire which took and hour, then another 2 hours because the machine was broken. so waited almost 4 hours for one tire. go someplace else!! read more

I've been here a few times and they're really kind people, their prices are amazing too

Great place with honest caring people so goad I found them glad to recommend them highly

Extremely dishonest managers and incompetent technicians there. Try everything possible to avoid this place. They should be ashamed of themselves. I paid big there for a brake pads rotor and caliper replacement job and the next day when I went to another place to do safety inspection and was told the brake was still sticky. I had to bring it back but the technician denied there was any issue. The owner and the managers there were obviously very dishonest and refused to fix it for me unless I pay even more. I had to go to another store to fix the issue. This place is full of a bunch of disgraceful owner/managers and totally incompetent technicians. Be alert! Don't trust them. read more

This location is very unprofessional and disrespectful. I had a mechanic be rude to me and when I spoke to a manager he just brushed me off. First and last time at this location. read more

It was my first time coming to this location and it was super easy and quick to set up an appointment online. I needed an oil change and all new brakes. I drive a Ford Explorer and got all four new brake pads with life time warranty and full synthetic oil change for a little over $600. They topped off my fluids and where done within an hour or so. I will definitely be back and recommend people go check it out. They have really good deals right now. The gentleman at the front desk was also super nice and gave my son a cookie while we waited. Thank you team Midas Fairfax! read more

Shane and Sade helped me to diagnose an oil issue that was making my engine warnings go off. They were polite and helpful and took me right in even though it was the end of the day. Would go back. read more

Shane was very obliging and did his best to get me in and out, securing the tires I needed very quickly and even working extra to get the replacement and balancing done. He also tried to get my credit card application expedited so I could use it to pay for the service. Overall, very happy. read more

My tire was looking low on air the day before, put some air in it. Next day, drove to work, by lunch time the tire was absolutely flat. Oh no!!!!!! Drove a few blocks and stopped at Midas. They were able to replace the tire within 1.5 hours. Polite service. I probably should have asked for the maximum wait time, which I did not on the way in. They had to go to another store in Vienna to get the tire since they did not have my tire on hand, hence the delay. I would go back to this place for regular maintenance. read more

I called yesterday to confirm my appointment request was received. Shane and his team were hospitable first thing on a Saturday morning. They completed the oil change in a timely manner and informed me of a repair that was required, which h confirmed what I knew I needed to fix. Shane and his team earned my loyalty... I'll be back with this and my other car for minor maintenance! read more

One of the worst place to serve your car The staff very rude and give you not reasonable prices I do not recommend this place read more

I went here after NTB had no idea what they were doing. They did not have the oil filter for my car but they went out of their way to go to other stores to get the filter. They did a lot more than necessary and I appreciate them for the professionalism displayed. It took a little longer than expected but all in all they have the right customer service. read more

I cannot thank Shane and company enough for their excellent work on my car's air conditioner. They took my car in at the hour I requested online, were able to order the necessary parts and complete the work on the same day as the dropoff; and, best of all, this 20 year old automobile is now blasting arctic air almost as soon as I crank the ignition and engage the applicable controls. read more

I think what keeps me coming to a shop is honesty, accountability, and fairness. This shop has "Honesty", hence the 2 star. However, trying make the customer responsible for your mistakes and pay for something that your employees broke, is unreal. I came in to have new tires mounted and balanced on new rims. John (I think that was his name), recommended that they take out the TPMS from the stock rims and switch them to the new set, which I agreed on. 30 mins pass and he returns, says they broke 2 of the 4 sensors. He continues to say that the sensors are $99 (probably not even the shop's cost) each-but then mentions he's just charge me for one....says that's typical. So I take a deep breath, take a seat and collect my thoughts-didn't want to say something I was gonna regret. My thoughts: This is a 2019 vehicle, with less than a 1k miles-basically brand new! I return to the counter and had to (shouldn't have to) explain how the vehicle is new, they broke not one but two TPMS, and I shouldn't be paying for the replacements. He finally, agrees (mad and mumbles as he Walks away) and mount the rest of the tires. I didn't say anything negative, just that I wasn't paying to replace Brand New parts that they broke... I am big on "ownership" and "accountability". If it was my fault, I would 100% take accountability and pay, without any questions or reservations! Had they come to me and said "if we continue with pulling these TPMS, they may break", then you put the decision on me and I would have been accountable...but not what happened. I trusted that you guys were capable, when you agreed to take the job. Honesty, accountability, and fairness because as a customer, these apply to me too! Put yourself in my shoes, would you pay to replace the sensors?? Im paying for the service, not even a question. Not the parts they broke. Now I have two stock TPMS and two aftermarket...FML. read more

Excellent service. Brandon and Antonio are the best. I highly recommend this location.

Worst ! Came to get a safety inspection, had to wait almost for an hour even though I was first. They made an estimate for changing just one rear tail light for 450$ and changing a parking light in the front for 80$(it's a small bulb for 7$ in the store). I'd never come back read more

They are always extremely fair with their prices. As a woman everywhere I go I get discriminated against and mechanics try to charge me ridiculous prices. I have never experienced that here. I have had a headlight changed and also had an issue with my exhaust and they were extremely honest about pricing and what the issue was. Whereas the first shop I went to told me my car was basically ready to explode and they would have to do $4000 of repairs Midas let me know my exhaust was just loose and put it back into place for $30. Don't waste your time with other mechanics!! read more

I got my oil changed here back in October. Service and everything was great... However, I was just due for another oil change and did not go back to this Midas shop and decided to do it at home. My oil filter cover and drain plug cover are missing. I tried calling the shop and josh picked up the phone. I told him what way up and he said was no extra in the shop and a lot could have happened in that time. Yes, that's right a lot could have happened. Just weird that both were missing. He didn't offer to replace my parts or any solution. I will not return to this shop. read more

Just did inspection there. The front desk guy was quick and straight to the point, no small talks, and within minutes the guy was working on getting inspection done. Awesome service. read more

I came in for an oil change today after I found everywhere else I tried to go booked up. That was a blessing in disguise. The person I dealt with was John and he was excellent. There was an issue with my drain plug, and he went out and actually showed me how it had been stripped. The first place he called for a part was really expensive, so he then went on to call other places until he could find me the best deal. He didn't have to do that but it was so appreciated. Then as I was pulling out, I noticed some spilt money in my car seat. I gathered it up and took it to him because I knew it wasn't mine. He said to me, thank you..I wasn't sure if that was yours or mine. Honesty! My visit today and dealing with John is how you gain repeat business. I will be back and they have my business now. It is hard to find honest mechanics but was thoroughly impressed today. read more

These guys are honest! I brought my mother's car in for a brake fluid flush that a safety inspector said was necessary (though it passed inspection). Because the car is a couple years old but very low mileage, I asked the Midas employee to let me know how dirty the fluid was after the flush, out of curiosity. After taking a look at the vehicle/fluid, he came back and told me he couldn't take my money...the flush was completely unnecessary! This place has integrity. I really appreciate the honesty and I know where I'm going next time I actually need some work done. Thank you!!! read more

This Midas location was supposed to replace brake pads on my wife's RX330 (which my one-year-old daughter rides in daily) and put our family at risk with some of the shoddiest auto work I have ever seen. I have a couple of years in the auto industry myself, including several years of technical training, and this is one of the worst brake jobs I've come across. They used slathered grease in place of a metal shim on the pads. My wife approached the shop for a refund while I was at work and was met with aggression from the owner. I will be approaching Midas's corporate office about this, and will be broadcasting this however and wherever I can. Buyer beware. Per the mechanic who performed our VA safety inspection, who found the work last week: "On the brakes, the shop did not use any brake shim kits, instead, to fill the gap where the shim/fitting kit would go, they slathered about .25" of mechanic's grease on the backside of the pads. So much grease you can see it soaking into the metals like the brake caliper. Literally looks like they tried putting icing on a cake. It's just if you pay to have a job done, do it right, don't leave parts off like that, that's a major safety-related component." Will be attaching pictures of the brake job, see for yourself. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHOP. read more

This car service place has no bells and whistles. There's not some nice lobby or a keurig machine, but what they lack in fancy they make up for in customer service. Man, these people are nice! I came here to get a safety and emissions inspection, and I generally get stressed about mechanics the way I do about dentists. They made me feel very comfortable and were straightforward and honest about my car. They replaced a bulb, did my inspections for under 70$. I trusted them so much that I asked them to also change my oil and my windshield wipers...something I've been putting off. I will most likely only go here from here on out. read more

Outstanding service. Thanks Clint ! Best auto mechanic service ever. After spending thousands at local Honda dealership for bad service, I finally decided to give these guys a try. Lucky for me....The manager, Clint, was very courteous, helpful and honest. They completed the break rotor replacement in an hour for half of what Honda would have charged me... I highly recommend this place to anyone. read more

This place has been my preferred repair center since trying them out when I bought a living social oil change coupon last year. I have had brakes changed, transmission serviced and safety inspections done by the technicians working here. NO problems with anything they have done. In my experience, Daniel the manager will make sure that they only do the work that is required and not extra work for which the need is less clear cut. Add to which the team there are courteous and generally complete the work in the timeframe they promise. read more

Trustworthy dealership! Another dealership broke a part in my car and Midas was able to fix it within a day and gave me several discounts, saving me several hundred dollars. 10/10!!! read more

4.5 actually. The service I got here was excellent--honest, professional, courteous. This after Merchants in Reston estimated that I needed repairs that would cost me $900... Midas did what I really needed for under $300. They were honest about some things that I didn't need to have done, and they rotated my tires for free. I felt good about going here and will definitely return! read more

Brought the car here for what I thought was a dead alternator. Turns out the last guys who did the oil change checked the battery and didn't tighten the connectors properly, thus causing the car not too crank at all and making me think it was the alternator. They could have easily sold us an alternator, as we were desperate, and had no other options. They were honest and really cool to boot. They sent us off with no charge. Really surprised to get this level of honesty these days. Bravo. Go see Moe, he's a great dude. read more

Awful! Friend refereed me to this place, First impression in my mind was this will be a nice satisfactory experience which turned out being devastated at the end. Entered in Midas, Guy on front desk was very professional. I filled out the form and sat there waiting for about two and half hour though I was third waiting in line! After that one mechanic came over and taste drove my car, showed me what are the problems and everything. He said that I can check your break pads as well as you might need them to replace soon but it will cost you $15 just to check, there were four or five things they need to perform in $15 but what he did! Just opened rear wheel, showed it to me, said that its ok for now and never performed other things for what I paid midas $15 ! He gave me overall estimate of almost $2300! Secondly, I told the guy I will think about it so he said okey I will just attach the wheel back and come back, it took him another hour to come back, I was trying to see inside the garage that why its taking too long for him to come back, my cars rear wheel was sitting there forever and he was never there for 45 minutes! No work ethics! I have been waiting there for more then FOUR HOURS and all I got was devastation. Paid $15 to someone just to open cars rear wheel and put it back which took him an hour. I would not recommend anyone to go there unless they have entire day to wait just to have so called "Midas Courtesy Check"! read more

Had my brakes done here. They told me that there were several issues that needed to be addressed. I waited and had my oil change and inspection at the Toyota dealer and they came up with no problems that Midas claimed to come up with. I believe they heavily tried to ramp up the costs. For a company that does this, gets no more than 3-stars from me. read more

I always hear a lot of trash-talking on the 3 M's (Midas, Merchant's and Meineke). While some of those might be valid concerns, they have no place at this Midas. I have been coming here since 2008 with 3 different vehicles, and have always received timely and properly done repairs - even when I brought my own parts! I've had many shops refuse a job, or refuse to install my parts (I refuse to pay some ridiculous amount over cost that shops charge). Not here though, I have always been greeted with friendly, enthusiastic staff and knowledgeable mechanics. They are top notch. Rest easy if you have work done here, and if something isn't up to snuff after the job, they are ALWAYS willing to make things right and don't put up the typical "not our problem" attitude like others shops. Jobs I've had done here: -Brake system overhaul -Driveshaft U-Joint replacement -Front Strut installation (Other shops flat out refused this job, didn't wanna compress springs to get the strut in). -Numerous oil changes -Tire balancing -Alignments -Upper and lower control arm installation -Cooling system flush read more

My experience was very similar to Fairfax K.'s. This place is hit or miss. I had a state inspection done, and they were very friendly & fast. Then I brought my car in for some major work & ended up wasting a lot of money. I had to bring it back a couple days later when I continued to have problems. They said it was something else & fixed that. The next day I still had problems, so I went somewhere else, & they showed me that Midas had made some simple mistakes--used old hoses when they should have used new ones, not connected things very well, etc. I ended up trading in my car, which is what I should have done in the first place because it wasn't worth getting all the work done it. It still had some other problems that Midas hadn't noticed, & it wasn't worth putting any more money into it. The people here are very friendly & I think there are some knowledgeable people on staff, but you just don't know what you're going to get. I would not bring a car here for any major work. read more

DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR TO MIDAS!!! I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO MIDAS!! Worst experience ever! I brought my car in for an oil change, come to find out that I never received an oil change and my car was out for a joyride by the Manager of the shop! read more

Very professional service by Chris. Recommended I wait on replacing shocks that would have set me back several thousand dollars on a variable suspension C6 Vette. Did not try to push sale and instead settled for service fee to fix a slow leak on a tire. read more

Came for an oil change, 2hr wait vs 1 hr promise, then the mechanic says I need svs plan B, didn't see it and flashing repair light and blinking indicator all of a sudden show after the oil change. He says I need to svs it or the warranty is void and would cost $190.00 and can't turn off the engine flashing indicator. BULL, went to another shop for emissions and they said no need, 2 yrs 25k, you're fine and turned off the light and it's all good. I would have wasted $190 for what? Very deceptive practice, don't believe everything you hear and get a second opinion. read more

One star is too much! Midas forced open my car hood, without my knowledge or consent, for a routine oil and air filter change, resulting in the latch to my hood being permanently broken. When I realized that my hood latch was broken (because it will not stay shut if I drive over 35mph!) I noticed that there were new scratches on my hood and the hood ornament was missing. It lead me to wonder if they used a crow bar to open my hood! When I contacted the manager Josh Curfiss about this issue, he informed me that they did have trouble opening the hood, but that his mechanic told him that the issue was fixed so they decided Not to inform me. This also means that they decided to force open my hood without getting my consent or informing me -- BEFORE causing damage to my car. When I asked Josh what he planned to do to redress this issue he said: "Nothing." Then he suggested that my car was old and therefore the hood issue was my fault. If you care for the functionality and safety of your car -- DO NOT USE MIDAS!!! read more

This place is great! My car hit the curb a week ago and the rim and the suspension has been bent. I went to BP in fairfax blvd to check the car but they wants me to replace the rim, suspension and couple of things that I don't know. One of my friend referred me Midas and I went there.they fix my car in2 hours without replacing anything and they charge me only 150( that include 2 lamp replacement) they are friendly and never cheat. read more

Quoted $250+ for labor to remove and replace a single cat-back exhaust system. Midas Fairfax City. Torch off 6 bolts, remove 2 pipes, 1 muffler; and install, muffler, 3 pipes, 3 clamps, 4 hangers, 2 bolts to the y-pipe (exhaust gasket). Local Fairfax City shop did the job in under 40 mins. (included a cigarette break), for "well less than 1/2 the Midas labor quote", included $10 tip. Do your research people! read more

I have used Fairfax Midas for several years to replace brakes, mufflers, etc. and have always been very satisfied. This week, however, I brought my car in for major repair. I had just received an outrageous estimate from somewhere else, and I hoped Fairfax Midas could help me out. They did all the repairs and saved me $2,000. Their mechanics can actually fix things rather than simply replace them. I am so grateful for their help, courtesy, and expertise. read more
