Mishel W.

The assistant store manager menjou known as MJ is a scam artist! I went to this location to get a tune up! Tuneups normally consist of changing spark plugs and engine coils etc. This Established does not state to customers before hand That tuneups at Midas Only consist of changing spark plugs. When I was told my initial quote with the thought in my mind that coils and spark plugs are being replaced the initial quote was $425. I drop my car off and I get a call from MJ stating that my bill would go up to $560 because he had to change a top Plenum gasket. And it would be labor on top of that. I said to him wouldn't that be charging me double labor because my car is already open? He began to over talk me and explain a whole bunch mechanic talk that I have no idea. When I pick my car up he gave me a $30 discount in my total came down to $520. Now with a thought in my mind that I have a. New top Plenum gasket and I have new spark plugs and coils! I leave the location two days later my check engine light comes on and at AAMCO they let me know that the only thing that they did was change six spark plugs and put a new Plenum gasket which I found out is a flimsy small gasket that they charge me $27 for!! So I call Midas because to my surprise I was unaware that coils were not being changed MJ explained that all they did was change the spark plugs and confirm that no coils were changed! So for $560 with a $30 discount I got six spark plugs change and a top plenum gasket put on my car. AAMCO let me know that I was scammed. So I start calling other Midas I called the one in Catonsville the one in Baltimore and was told that to change spark plugs on my car would run from anywhere to $300-$360 at their locations and they could not understand how my bill made it to $560! To my surprise when I went back to my original Midas they charge me $33.80 per spark plug for a Nissan Maxima 2012. I called Pep Boys and asked what's the standard spark plug to be put into my car and what price range they told me that the standard iudium spark plug are 699 apiece. I'm livid with MJ at this point he tells me that he puts the higher-quality spark plug in my car without my permission and tells me that he does everything by the book that is given in my car so I go to my car and get my book and nowhere in the book of my car states that I have to have high-quality spark plugs for my engine. He scammed me because I was a female and offered me free oil change and to take the spark plugs out of my car and put mine in now I'm inconvenience and missing days of work ! But it all gets worse yesterday after I left that establishment I started getting threatening phone calls from unknown numbers blocked numbers fake numbers that if you call them back it would say that the number was not in service and I'm pretty sure that MJ has a lot to do with it! This man has my personal information and has my cell phone number I have never been threatened or harassed on my phone ever before. I would never get your car repaired at this location! Find a honest Midas Update! I go back in there establishment with the spark plugs I purchased that I was told by MJ that he would put in. I was told by the store manager David that they are not putting them in so I wasted even more money! Then he told me that he isn't going to refund me my money unless I sign a paper so I won't take them to court! I don't feel comfortable doing that so I didn't sign in nicer words I was told to get out and he won't help me! Not only was I over charged then I bought and have spark plugs that I wasted money on not to mention they still owe me money! Apparently the owner of this establishment doesn't want to help or resolve my issue! They have a man who served time Bestfriend with the store manager so of course I'm getting no help! Keeping my money is better then having customers happy and coming back! I'll never go to another Midas again!

Yikes!!!! That is usually followed by: run for the hills. I had a boycott of Midas for many years because they were horrible where I used to live. They were costly Ripoffs! So, when I came to this one I was so apprehensive. I then ran into the assistant manager "MJ" and he gave me information without stress or pressure to fix my car. I decided to come back the next day and the same guy was there ready to help and honor what he initially told me. I was so impressed by the professionalism and care for the customer. The staff was on point and appeared to respond well to each other. The car was fixed with suggestions for future maintenance with no up sales or tactics. He made me feel like I wanted to come back to the store and get everything else fixed. They have changed my mind about all the years I didn't go to Midas. Great job fellas and keep up the great work! I hope this wasnt a fluke and the service doesnt change.

Getting my brakes done... Let's see how this goes

2nd Time coming in here... The people are nice. I researched fair prices for the area before I came in and they were right in line with that. All in all a good shop. I will return for sure

Hometown feel mechanic with no games!

I've been to plenty of oil change places and the experience is always the same. I go in for an oil…read morechange, they tell me I need new brakes, or a fuel induction service, or a fluid change, or something stupid and easy for them to make some easy cash while I get nervous about whether I really need what they're recommending. That just wasn't the case at all at this Jiffy Lube. I went in needing an oil change and I had 3 different light bulbs out in the back of my car, which was odd. They checked the fuse box and saw no issues, so they took the bulbs I already had purchased and tossed them in for a really cheap price. One was giving them trouble (as it had for me as well) and they ended up figuring it out and making it work even though it took them almost 20 mins to do so. They were super happy and cheery, which is almost never the case at an oil change place, and of course had coffee and tea. They vacuumed the floors and gave me legitimate advice about simple services my car needed. I knew for a fact my back brakes were about due before going into it and that's exactly what they mentioned. They weren't pushy, didn't ask for the sale on the spot, just said that there was 1/8th of an inch left or so and simply told me to swing by again and they'd be happy to change them before it got to the rotors. They were exactly right and didn't pitch me on anything else. I still haven't changed my brakes, oh well, but nonetheless, they really provided a great experience and I'll be happy to pay the extra $5-10 or so compared to cheap places to ensure I get a good experience, carpets vacuumed, and genuine advice.

Bob F. (Business Owner) seems to have the same blanket reply to everyone who lodges complaints. In…read moreother words, he is merely going through the motions of showing genuine concern to customers. He is not actually listening and responding to their specific complaints and reporting on what steps he will take to ensure that future customers won't encounter the same.
