Avoid This Midas Location at All Costs On August 14th, a mechanic at this Midas store replaced the radiator on my 2012 Honda Odyssey. I drove the car daily afterward, including a round trip from Dover to East Brunswick -- over an hour each way in heavy traffic on Route 287 -- with no issues. No overheating, no leaks, nothing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Then on Saturday, September 6th, I returned to Midas for an alignment and to check the ABS light. I had a noon appointment, but due to staff shortages, they didn't lift my car until 1 PM.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After inspecting it, they asked me to come into the shop -- antifreeze was all over the floor. They claimed the radiator installation had been poorly done, and that the engine had overheated, causing a hose to burst. I was shocked, having driven the car for over two weeks without a single problem. They handed me a $1,293.07 estimate just to get the car running again -- not including the alignment. They said I needed a new hose, radiator fan, and thermostat, but couldn't get the parts that day. With the store closing at 5 PM and it already being 3 PM, I had no choice but to leave the car. For reference, they quoted $241.99 for a radiator fan that costs $79 on Amazon and $130 at AutoZone -- just for the part. They completed the repair on Monday and gave me a $100 discount since it was a follow-up to the original job. They also recommended replacing the hub, axle, and tie rod. Oddly, there was a note at the bottom of the invoice stating "transmission lines are a bit rusty," but they never mentioned it or gave me a quote. Regarding the ABS issue, they first blamed the sensor -- even joking that "Duralast doesn't last" -- but by Monday, they changed their story and said it was the hub. I picked up the car Monday, still without the alignment or ABS fix, and paid $1,186.44. On Tuesday, I drove 5 miles to work. Wednesday, I went to a meeting 2 miles from home, and on the way back, I noticed the RPMs were unusually high. The transmission started acting up, and I saw fluid leaking -- my driveway was stained. I popped the hood and saw transmission fluid leaking near the radiator. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I called Mike at Midas, who told me not to drive the car and to bring it in another day since they were busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I dropped it off Friday morning, September 12th. Later that day, they said the transmission line was leaking and quoted $770 to fix it. I was furious -- the car had never leaked before, and this started right after their repair. I told them not to touch the car. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I arrived at 4:30 PM, Mike refused to give me my keys unless I signed a waiver stating I had declined the transmission line repair -- which was never discussed or quoted. He was rude and dishonest, but I signed just to get my car back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The car was barely drivable, so I took it to a nearby mechanic. He fixed the transmission lines for $400 and showed me the damage -- a hole right next to the radiator, exactly where Midas had worked. He couldn't believe they had missed it. There's no way they didn't see that leak when they fixed the radiator. I believe they damaged the transmission line during the repair and refused to take responsibility. In the end, I spent nearly $2,000 and never got the alignment I originally came in for. I wasted time, dealt with unnecessary stress, and nearly lost my transmission -- and my car. Their repair recommendations were questionable too. The other mechanic said the tie rod didn't need replacing; the nut was just loose. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I strongly advise staying away from this store. I reported everything to Midas corporate via online submission and phone call, but it's been over a week with no response or follow-up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Fast, honest service with clear communication.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My car runs great--highly recommend. and they have 0% financing.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I called Midas today because I had a slow linear in my tire and due for an oil change. I was asking if they had any opens today. This was at 9 am. I was told i could bring my car in at 9:30 i was on time and i brought it in and got right to work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Luke M. was helpful and after an inspection i needed a new battery.. They moved quickly and I was in and out in a couple of hrs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]During the wait i was checked on and kept up to date on the progress with my car.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Luckily the tire was able to be plugged and I didnt need a new tire. I love the face I was giving options and saved some money. read more

I provided 2 stars because my car was eventually fixed and in drivable condition but the path there was ridiculous. I brought my car for an oil change and was told 2 other fairly major fixes were needed & I use to trust this place so I said yes please fix it. They had my car from 10a and had it ready at 5p before they closed. They needed some material to replace my shock absorber which I understood so I had to come back another day to get it completed. I called and got my car back into the shop, my husband had the day off for a holiday so I was able to borrow his car for work - I'm a home health nurse so a car for my job is an essential. My husband dropped the car off at 10a and I was told it would be about a 2 hr job. My husband called around 12-1. The car hadn't been touched yet. I called again around 2-3 and they were in the middle of the job and said it wouldn't be ready. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I needed the car for my job and expressed all this. I had to borrow my husband's car again and he had to stay home for work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What upset me the most is that even though my husband dropped off the car fairly early - no one touched my car until we called around 12-1. It was unacceptable and it almost affected my job but my husband was able to make it work with his job. I will never be coming back. read more

I just made it in time for a quick lube. They close at 3p. The service manager Mr. Fox is a down to earth person. He didn't try to haggle me like most franchise mechanic shops do. I also needed an additional minor change and I was out of there in less than an hour. Mr. Fox gave me a decent deal on the final price. I've had a not so pleasant experience at another Midas shop. However, I'll be seeing Mr. Fox and his staff from now on whenever I need an oil change. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Most unprofessional customer service in the Kenvil NJ location today.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were long time customers. Had a morning appointment. Upon arrival informed it's not happening because they are short handed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]No offer to reschedule same day since it was only day we could do with no work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also refused to accept coupon we earned for B1G1 oil change when the previous car was totaled in an accident. (Not that oil was getting changed today) [[HIGHLIGHT]]Apparently that was our problem but so was his staffing issue. Nothing was his fault.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Never going back! Zero stars for a rude owner! read more

If I could give this unprofessional location 0 stars I would. My fiancé went in for an oil change today where his tires were also balanced ($50 charge). At the end of the service, the gentleman suggested two new tires for the front of the car. When my fiancé asked him why since the tires are newer, the gentleman then also happened to find something wrong with his tire rod. My fiancé said the gentleman seemed not happy when he decided not to get tires or fix the rod. Fast forward two hours later, we notice there's a huge spill all over the front of his car. The car has been sitting in our driveway with no one near it. We naturally assume it's oil. He brings the car back to this location where the man says it's not oil and it's coffee and where my fiancé has to defend that we didn't throw coffee on his car. And THEN out of no where after all of this apparently my fiancé underpaid for his services? Why was this not brought to his attention earlier? And for the Midas guy to tell him that karma will get him and my fiancé is a bad guy? Don't worry, we'll NEVER be back. read more

Midas - Mysterious spill after oil change - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Kenvil, New Jersey

I typically never write reviews. But felt that it was necessary in this instance. If possible I would rate the Midas at thr Kenvil, NJ location at zero stars. Three weeks ago I scheduled a routine oil change at this location due to the usual place I go to did not have any availability that day. Prior to the technician returning my car to me they called me in the back to show me issues that they saw while performing the oil change. While my car was up on the lift they proceeded to show me that my tires had an even wearing and suggested that I replace all four tires as well as get an alignment. They then told me that I could have all four tires installed the next day as well as the alignment on my car for $1,330 and told me that this was a good price that they were providing me. I was a little suspicious due to the fact that I had purchased the tires 16 months prior and only had 12k miles on them. I said thank you for letting me know however I will go back to Costco where I purchase the tires from due to they were still under warranty. However they did insist that they would have a better price at Midas than Costco which also was not true. I was able to get an appointment at Costco the next day for them to inspect my tires. Within 15 minutes of the inspection they came back to tell me that there was 75% tread left on my tires as well as normal wear and did not see any cars for replacement. However Costco does not provide normal services such as a front end alignment so I then scheduled an appointment to go to my normal car repair shop. I asked them to please inspect the tires as well and to see if my car needed an alignment. They took my car for a test drive which Midas did not do even though they recommended an alignment be performed on my car. The technician called me an hour and a half later to let me know that there is no uneven wearing of the tread on my tires the tires seem to be in perfect shape for the age that they are and then an alignment was not necessary. I feel as though the technician and the person behind the counter at Midas were very misleading for the fact that I had multiple sources check out the issues that they noted to only find out that there were no issues at all. I am happy that I did not purchase the overpriced tires that they recommended and services that were not required especially after finding from two additional sources that neither of those were needed. I will not be providing Midas any business going forward. read more

Called Midas of Kenvil, at 12:00 noon on Saturday 11/12/2022. I made an appointment for 2pm on the same day. My wife went in my place. The next day on Sunday my Wife tried to go to church at 9:30 AM an no key fobs would work. The dash gave off the green key idiot light, so I asked my Son to check the oil. He came back and said the oil was dirty and halfway low. I guess the 25.00 coupon and the 30.00 total cost must have been part of the issue. The Serviceman had to remove the (A-1) service notice on the dash to reset my old 2008 Acura MDX... Live and Learn I guess... God Bless All at Midas and all who read this... The Bible Says Vengeance Is Mine, Says The Lord; I Will Repay. Also, it says cast all your cares on Me Says The Lord, because I care for you... I forgive all wrong doing, hold not this sin to anyone's charge, Lord Jesus!... It is out of my hands now I guess... read more

I'm sure corporate didn't address the issue or if they even gave a damn about it. It's all about the money and never the customers.

Great staff, they know what they're doing, and Hal is probably the nicest guy in the world. Highly recommend!

I took my car to get my trans fluid changed. After I drove in off the lot it would not shift into 4 and was perplexed... I was late and had to get home. The next day I called Hal... Things were said and no solution given. Went to a recommended trans place and they said midas used a vacuum type to get the fluid out and by doing that blew the valve seals out. 1200 dollars later. The next thing is I had my breaks replaced was charged 900+ and within one year needed all calipers disks and needed new pads. had them done somewhere else and was charged 396. The other place did more than midas have done to the breaks so why was midas's doubly the price? I also had a muffler put on and was lifetime warr... I had them replace it twice in 5 years. Then the 3rd time it was over 100 to install the free replacement? I left bought a muffler on ebay for 60 dollars free shipping and put it on myself. It has been 5 years past and no problems. Why did the midas muffler rot within a couple of years? Why was I charged an install fee. I was very disappointed with Hal and have not gone here since. Also he does not accept midas coupons... And is usually higher than other midas company's in the area. They should rename this location to Hallo. read more

Have used this location for repairs 3 times - this guy Hal sets his own prices, pads invoices & is MUCH more expensive than other Midas locations - I have also used the Midas in Rockaway & Randolph. Much better pricing & service at these locations. Would not recommend this Midas & will never go back again !! read more

I use this shop for all my automotive repair needs and find Hal, the owner, to be very professional, honest, reasonable priced, and thorough. He gets back quickly with quotes and mechanical diagnoses and doesn't try to perform unnecessary services for extra money. Very trustworthy and dedicated. read more
