Jason and his team are great to work with when getting custom exhaust work. They got the exact exhuast tips I had requested online and when I was ready they suggested and hooked up the best sounding and best looking setup for my 5 series BMW. I recommend them to all my friends and family that want a skilled shop at great prices. Bottom line, the spot to take all your auto needs! read more

Jason is an awesome guy that works there. Full of energy and lets you rest assure your car will be back on the road in no time. The rest of the staff is also friendly. Been here many times, and recommended to family and friends. Only wish I could give more stars. read more

Efficient and friendly. I drove up early today and was warmly greeted by Dodi as I exited my car. She took care of me right away, explained their process and offered me a fresh cup of coffee while I waited. Within less than an hour my service was complete. I usually take my car to Oakland's High St. Car Wash and oil change but I'd been looking for a local place to do routine oil changes and I found this gem. I'll definitely be back. Important to note that although it took me less than an hour, I went early in the morning to avoid a normal wait. They also had a good selection of magazines available so that was also a plus. read more

My brake light went out so I went to O'reillys and got the light but being not knowing much about cars I went to Jiffy Lube where they told me I was given the wrong bulb, so I went back to O'reillys where she told me that it was the correct bulb and she sent me Jason at Midas... He actually took the time to change the bulb himself and showed me every step that he was taking. Not only did he earn my trust but he also earned a new customer. I will definitely be going back every time. read more

The crew at Midas are awesome. They were very impormative and knowledgeable friendly people. Special thanks to Jason, Dodi and Curtis. You guy's rock. read more

After my car quit on me I was in desperate need of help.. Not only did they fix my car, they sent photos and emailed me to keep me informed. Nice place to get work done. read more

Went there a couple months ago cause my car was falling apart, its an old beater and was visibly slouched from broken/wornout springs, told them I coudnt afford new springs so I left the car a couple days while they called around and found a good set of used ones, when they did they called me to make sure I knew the quote and agreed before doing any work, that was nice. Like I said I was pretty broke so I bartered a bit cause I like to, and they were polite and even a little flexible on the price. I got it back and it felt like the alignment was a little off so I brought it back and they were really nice and looked into it, turns out my frame was a little warped, probably from a minor accident I had a month earlier(like I said, the trucks a beater) they showed me where it was warped and said they could adjust the alignment to compensate a bit, so they did and it was really smooth after and they did charge me extra. Last I thought about getting my windshield replaced(it was cracked from the accident) so I asked them for a quote, they said it would probably be more expensive than I could afford and even recommended a few places around that might be cheaper, and they were right, that gave me a warm fuzzy, so ill probably definitely go back. read more

Never disappointed. It's my go to place for my car. Always great customer service all the time. They lied to me they said my oil change would be an 2hrs and it ended up done in like 30mins. It was hella busy too lol!!! Gustavo and Curtis are hella cool and they know how to multitask very well. Thanks guys. read more

We took our SUV in for brakes and new tires. We've been to many East Bay mechanics prior to this Midas location in the past. This place has the best customer service by far. They have never tried to sell us something additional or recommend anything outrageous. In fact, we came in for the manufacturer's recommended 40k service. They told us our filters and everything looked good and that we didn't even need it. Saved us a couple hundred bucks. This past time after our brakes were done, it began making a horrible squeeking noise. We called them and asked if we could bring it back in for them to look at it. They stayed open late for us, so we could swing by after work and identified the issue within minutes and fixed it right away. Both Fernando and Jason were extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you, guys! read more

Great customer service! I don't usually write reviews, but the owner (Jason) of this Midas went above and beyond of what is expected from a shop! My car broke down in Hayward during a rainy day, and Jason drove over to my location to check out my car. He helped me out with my situation and even gave me a ride to Bart station so I could make it to work! I can't say enough of this shop. I highly recommend this Midas for any work. read more

Curtis, Jason and Dodi are the BEST! My family and I bring all our vehicles here and get excellent service every time. They make us feel like family :-) Thanks Midas family! read more

I was in an out in less than an hour for an oil change. Jason was not only friendly on the phone but in person as well. In addition to the oil change, they check your car for routine stuff. I had dirty air filters, and instead of just replacing them, Jason actually showed them to me, gave me a quick rundown of its maintenance, and gave me the option whether or not I wanted them to replace them. I appreciate that he didn't take my "woman-ness" as "car maintenance ignorance" and try to rip me off like many shops have in the past. read more

We went in on Saturday, and they said it needed alignment and wheelbalancing. I went back this morning to have the work done, the manager had no record of this recommendation and wanted to do a new evaluation. He just called me and said I need three new tires and should get four to keep them matching to the tune of $705 after "manager's special." Can't swear to it yet, but it sure FEELS like I'm being treated like an idiot for having ovaries!! Going over to Larry's Tires, stay tuned for more info on the drama..... read more

Excellent service, way more friendly than other places and they try to help you out according to your needs. Also very fast and efficient! Special thanks to Dodi and Viktor for the help! read more

Dodi helped me today. Saved my day. I would definitely return for my car service. Thanks

I arrived announced and they told me it would take 30 minutes, I was there almost 2 hours. I had things to do and they seemed like they were more interested in playing/talking but the work did end up getting done. read more

Definitely a gem in Hayward. I've been to several spots and nothing compares to their excellent service and honesty. Been here a handful of times and my experience has been the same every time. read more

Been going over there as a regular customer, they don't know how to take care and assume responsibility of their mistake instead of apologizing for almost causing my wife car oil pan to be all over the freeway because only one screw is left holding the whole thing after they changed the oil, could have cause my wife to have an accident. After telling them of the incident the manager Raymond wanted proof and insinuated we are liars instead of apologizing. He wants proof that my wife and children could have been killed because of their negligence. Such a bunch of f.... Idiots!!!!! Yelp do not allow NO STARS so I have to click on one but they do not deserve any stars at all!!!!! read more

My car was giving me all sorts of problems, my tires were worn, my struts were done for, my timing belt was wearing and the list can go on. These guys took care of my car so well, their service was great and Jason was so great at explaining what needed to be fixed and why. I don't know anything about cars so getting a clear picture of what was wrong was very helpful. Thanks for the awesome service guys!!! read more

I don't write reviews often, but when I receive really good service, I think it's important to share the experience.I had an really good experience at this Midas today. I went in to get an estimate on my front brakes and to check out a problem with my tire pressure. I had used this particular Midas in the past, but encountered horrible customer service and a horrible repair service. I went back today because I found a coupon and it's really close to my job. Jason met me at my car, greeted me, and asked how he could help. Jason's staff diagnosed the issue with my tire pressure immediately, and they also gave me an estimate on my front brakes (within 20 mins of me being there). Their prices were reasonable, so I left my car there to be serviced. Since I work close by, Jason offered to drop me back at work and pick me up once my car was finished.. Jason's staff not only fixed both issues accurately and quickly, they also took time to explain the issues of my brakes. It turns out that I may need back brakes pretty soon. When the time presents itself, I will return to this Midas for future auto service. read more

Great customer service. They helped me as soon as I enter their parking lot. Thanks guys!!

If you are looking for a good mechanic, this is your place. They are fair, reliable, consistant, and friendly. Jason is knowledgable and follows through. I have a complicated catalytic converter issue and I can count on them to fix it to completion. Thank you! read more

I have been taking my car to various different mechanics around the bay, and have yet to find a place that I have been happy with, until I went to this Midas location. I took my car in about 6 months ago as it was acting funny, the mechanics along with the rest of the staff here really took care of me, and were very informative on what was wrong with my car and what services it needed. They answered every question I was thinking before I even had to ask it. I never once felt as if they were trying to sell me on something that my car really didn't need. I def. recommend going here for your next car service, as I have now found a new permanent mechanic for my car. read more

These people are absolutely awesome! I have been going here for years, both me and my older sisters cars. They do the best work, the people are vary friendly and they are honest about their work. You get what you pay for. Good service, good people, good team and my car always WORKS! iI've had my fair share of mechanics who work on my car and in the end, they screw it up more. NOPE! NOT THESE PEOPLE! read more

Friendly, trustworthy service at it's best! I've been here four times in the past year from oil change to timing belt replacement and I wish there were more shops like this to recommend to every woman in every city, who has no knowledge of car maintenance and in desperate need of honest mechanics. Jodi and Curtis at reception went beyond expectations to find me discounts for my timing belt and added water pump; Alex and Jason were kind to shuttle my four year old and I back and forth from home; Victor our technician replaced our timing belt and water pump with no complications. Overall, with every visit and interaction, I have never left feeling cheated or questioning their service or recommendations. What an outstanding business with the utmost integrity and work ethics! Thank you! read more

Great customer service and speedy work! The staff was very nice and I was out I no time! Also the work was great!

Great customer service!!! Everyone was super nice and informative. Prices are decent and it's better if u schedule an appointment because even then you might be waiting. The waiting are offers coffee and water and 2 TVs u can watch a show on while you're waiting. read more

I called several places for a four wheel alignment late in the day and Midas came back with similar price to all the five different shops. They were the closest to my house, no waiting when I got there and quick in getting it done. read more

I really appreciate the honesty demonstrated by Jason and his team. I recently brought all three of our vehicles in to have the brakes checked. Only one was under warranty but because of the excellent service I brought the others in too. The first time in, I observed the patience demonstrated with other customers of all ages. Wow! That really got my attention. The choices offered me were honest and simple and were accompanied with written estimates. I would feel very comfortable having my wife bring her car in for service here even if I could not be there. That trust means a lot to me. Thank you Jason for your excellent service. read more

Not knowing too much about car maintenance, there are a few things I look for in a mechanic and car service business: precision, reliability, efficiency, honesty, and value. I found all of these at La Playa Midas. I took in my car for a 90K tuneup. After the tune-up, one of the mechanics gave me an honest assessment of my car engine, but told me that none of them were urgent. I was even told to look out for my break linings, but that it wasn't necessary to have them fixed then in there because I could at least drive my car a few more months. This is definitely a trustworthy business and where I'll go for all of my car service needs. read more

Always great friendly service at reasonable rates. The staff here is very helpful and gets you in and out for oil changes and straight forward on what needs done. Saturday is busy so if you are getting brakes done go early read more

I've read a lot of reviews talking bad about this place.... I don't know why... I don't write reviews but I have to for Midas... The have worked with me each time they are the place to go... I promise read more

The best place I have ever taken my car to, and they are the best customer service. If you want friendly smart people, they know what they are doing and I drove away with feeling safe thanks to them!!!! They won't disappoint or let anyone down! Curtis and their crew are awesome! :) read more

Dodi, Jason and the whole team is great here. When I moved from Sacramento a couple years ago I had to find a new mechanic and this was the first place and I got lucky. Dodi provides fantastic customer service. She has the best sense of humor that will make your wait time ease by:) I've always gone here, great recommendations and thorough service guaranteed. I will continue to come and further recommend future service. Thanks Midas @ La Playa Drive!!! read more

Good and fast customer service, no pressure for add-on services. Will continue to come here for oil change/tire rotation for all of my cars. read more

This place is my to go shop for any auto repairs, the staff and service here is truly great. Jason the owner of the shop is one of the most helpful and honest guy in the business. They are really honest with price and their service is top notch. Don't hesitate to stop by, they will hook you up :) read more

Jason was ahhhhmmmmaaaazing! Best customer service ever! Gustavo and Jason were so helpful, knowledgable and QUICK! These guys are the bomb dot com. read more

I went in to get my oil changed. They were really fast, did all the point inspections on the car and made sure i was running well. They even noticed that my heat gauge in the car was off and tried a couple things to see what the problem could be. We could not find out the issue at that point, and i was in a rush, but they left me with suggestions of what I should check to see where the problem was coming from. Ended up being my radiator cap was loose. Had it not been for them I might be one of those guys thats holding up rush hour traffic cos my car over heated. The guys there are really nice and genuinely care about making sure your car is in good condition once they are through with it. Definitely the spot I go to for all of my needs. The new ownership has made a world of difference for this place. Jason is great in making you feel comfortable with the work that needs to be done and making sure that you get what you are paying for. read more

Dropped by for oil change, they did the inspection and everything, things were smooth and fast. Staff are professional and friendly. Would recommend. read more

I just have experienced the best CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!! I've been too this Midas location a couple of times and their service is phenomenal. I was there yesterday and had my oil changed. They got me in without an appointment and were great. I got home today from work and noticed in my garage oil leaking. I called their office and Jason said he'd be right out. Yes, Jason, the awesome owner came to my house to check my car, make sure things were tight etc. He was here in record time from Hayward to San Lorenzo in about 15 minutes. Thank you Jason!!! You are an incredible owner and know what customer service is about. I have been here twice and now I WILL GO NOWHERE ELSE!!!! read more
