Midas - Tires Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Had a 8:00 am appointment for an oil change and tire rotation. Should have been the very first car serviced. Ed tells me it will be 1 hour. I told him that's way too long. He said, do you want to take your car somewhere else? I told him yes as I could not believe he asked me that. He said what is the problem. I told him 1 hour to do an oil change and tire rotation is way too long for your first customer of the day. He asked me how long would I expect it to take and I said a half an hour max. He asked me where I have had it done in that time frame and I told him several locations. He told me that at Midas, we take 1 hour. Zero customer service as far as I'm concerned which means Midas has lost me as a customer. Special message for Ed. Take care of your customers. Everyone knows it doesn't take 1 hour to complete an oil change and tire rotation. read more

Do not do business with this location. They are very unethical. Very bad customer service and inferior tire quality.

I'd recommend this place wholeheartedly. It's been a hit or miss at times--in the past I've been suggested services I don't need. I know more about cars than I let on. However my last visit Kenny handled business so professionally. He was honest about recommending only what my vehicle needed without pushing fear based sales pitches. He was respectful and really responsive with answers that made sense. A terrific mechanic. And David who worked on my vehicle did an outstanding job. I'd recommend them to anyone. read more

Midas saves the day! Fantastic service here in lake forest. Thank you Eddie and midas team.

Professional. Kept me up to date promptly. Definitely recommend. Went over all recommendations and I was able to remove all but critical ones: brake job, brake flu I flush and oil pan gasket leak. read more

Every time I get an oil change they try to scam me!! Last time was the breaks and this time they said I need 4 new tires. I had a nail in my tire and they said you can't patch it up on where it is at and the tire must be replaced! I have all wheel drive so they said I need to buy 4 new tires. I went to another place to get the nail removed and the nail didn't even puncture the tire!!! They didn't even have to patch or fix anything... so no charge.. all they are trying to do is make more money off you, watch out! read more

Eddie the Manager was very helpful and professional. I will be using this location in the future. Thank you!

I have been coming here for years and just met the new manager Eddie who was very knowledgeable and accommodating, as my car was serviced quickly while I waited for it. read more

Ted and Daniel C. Make it a breeze. Setting up appointments, coupons, reminders, great pricing and honoring veteran discounts I've been going on here for 18 years since my first car. Few businesses are left that have stood the test of time. read more

This is a review for an oil change only. I received a coupon for a discounted price on oil change. I took my sisters car to this Midas near Lake Forest and Rockfield. They took me within 10 minutes and finished the oil change in about 20 minutes. They were willing to rotate tires for free, but I lost the key lock to my rims, so my fault they couldn't do it. Friendly staff, in and out quickly. I can't tell you how they perform on other repairs, brake jobs, mufflers, etc. I will go back to Midas for my next oil change, even if it is a different location. They have competitive prices. read more

Got new brae pads calipers and flush! Doe well and quickly. Got my car EARLIER than promised!

What an exceptionally friendly, honest and accomodating reception I experienced from Tone Martinez, the manager at this location. I had a 5 year old and a 1 year old with me and they serviced my car and got us on our way really quickly. This was my first time at Midas. I recommend them highly. read more

Doe's not honor your appointment, litterally go to any other Midas, do not waste your time here. Left work early to make it to my appointment just for them to tell me they can't give me a simple oil change. read more

Great service. Had my starter replaced there and they did a good, prompt job. Would highly recommend for all your auto needs in a flash!!

That rating is long overdue I had the brakes for my MB taken care of a few months back, and still running great. Ted/Tim had quoted me a fair price, explained, and even showed me, what was being done. Everytime I hit those brakes, I remember the quality of their work. Thank you for a great experience! read more

First time going to MIDAS in Cheltenham for inspection oil change and filter. They came back with a laundry list of things that they claim needed repair. I know something about car and know when rotors are bad and when I need breaks. They added repairs I did not need to increase the cost and I left. This is my last time going to MIDAS. Price Gouging, they will add on repairs you don't need. I asked about the mechanic who they just hired 5 five years ago; MIDAS is mainly known for Tires, so I did not trust their knowledge of auto repairs considering they just hired a mechanic five years ago. This experience happen on 10/30/2023. read more

Great job, they helped me out with prices and they answered all my questions about what I wanted to fix. I really recommend this place. Costumer service was super friendly. They have coffee and stuff. read more

I saw Tone on Thurs & Fri. His shop did an oil change, alignment, resistor, 4 tires and 4 hub caps. They did an amazing job for an honest price. I highly recommend them for all your automotive needs and intend to continue to give them my business from now on. read more

I would give them "No Stars" if that was possible!!! I took my Mercedes S 550 in to change out my rimes and an ALL WHEEL ALLIGNMENT and the problems started!!! 1: The stated they would not do the work unless I bought tires as the ones on the car were waring on the inside of the tire. I agreed to that tires and alignment and drove away... 2: Notice wheel ware on the inside and front right tire losing air. took car back and they told me the rim was cracked so I brought a new wheel and they said the tire wear was normal and I spoke to others and they stated no, THE ALLIGNMENT WAS DONE INCORRETLY.. 3: SO, i ask to rotate all the tires when they change the front right, and drove away and got home and looked, and all they swapped was the fronts.. So, I had to drive back, leave the car and also notice a gash out of the tire right where they pulled the tire from the rim. Said it was my fault and i needed to order a new tire... 4: Took car back again to have the tire replaced and paid almost $200 for another tire. With the bad job one the alignment I now need 3 more new tires and that was less then 6 months.. I would not trust these guys as i paid a lot of money just to have to do it again.. I will be filling complaints with the BAR and BBB I also asked for the owners direct number and the manager would not give it to me. This place is poorly ran and the techs are not experienced to do the work.. BEWARE!!! Tire below are lest then 8 months old and rim was scratched as well.. read more

See all

BEWARE!!!!! This shop is owned/run by Manny who also runs one in Fontana, CA. Look at both reviews. GET AN OIL CHANGE AND YOUR CAR WILL LEAK OIL. Then , they will try to sell you an expensive fix. I brought my car in to get a valve gasket which was leaking but not bad enough to drip on my garage floor. While I was there I asked for an oil change. Remember, when I brought it in there was NO oil leaking on my garage floor it was just burning off oil off the engine. After the oil change when I came home I had oil in my car the next time I pulled it out a lot of oil. I took it back and they told me I had a timing cover gasket leak which was worse than the valve gasket leak why didn't you tell me that in the first place? Then they told me it cost $500 in labor to fix it. The reason they gave me was that because the gasket from the valve was fixed it was building up pressure and coming through the timing cover gasket. I called a retired friend mechanic of mine and he said that's highly unlikely. Then I started reading the reviews for both Midas Lake Forest and Midas Fontana both owned by Manny. Too many people complaining of the same issue. read more

They ordered the wrong part and kept my car overnight for the WEEKEND without any notice except for a phone call after waiting 4 hours thinking they were fixing my car. Took 3 weeks to get it "fixed" and my car works worse than before, it doesn't shift correctly, severely jerks every time I speed up, makes a weird noise buzzing noise. Going to a different mechanic, don't waste your time. They aren't responsive enough, but they are very nice. read more

Overpriced and rude customer service. I've gone here for over 4 years and I've never had a problem. I've gone through ALL my receipts for my past oil changes and I've never paid over $69 without coupons. I just paid $99 for oil change plus filter ($10 which I had to wait for to arrive). When I expressed to Manny I can't afford price in future I'd have to look elsewhere. He said "keys are in engine, have a good one" Rude and not good customer service. Place has gone downhill since Marco left. read more

I originally came here because I had a coupon for an oil change, which was much lower than Jiffy Lube. I will continue to come here for my car services as they were totally professional, honest, and were so friendly. In addition, their prices are so much more reasonable. read more

Top notch. Clean. Efficient. Transparent. Dion greeted me right away and took good care of the car. He was honest and up front about everything, and observed proper procedures to care for the vehicle. Good genuine dude and honest business practice. Thanks so much!!! PS this shop location is for sale in case anyone's interested. Beautiful property and car bays! read more

I bought an almost new car and the place I bought it from said there was nothing wrong with it. I heard a loud noise when I put on the brakes when backing up, car pulled to the right and I felt like the tires might be out of balance. I took it to midas lake forest. They found out the tires were out of balance and missing the brake hardware from the front right brake. They completely fixed it and the car is awesome now. The place I bought the car could have had a law suit if I listened to them. Idiots Thanks to the great team at midas lake forest for fixing my car. I am going back there on Saturday to have them do my alignment You guys are the best read more

Brakes feel great now! I'm pretty perticular with my car and needed to find a place i can trust to work on a used Lexus CT hybrid i just got. Called around a few places which requires the Lexus hybrid to it to put into service mode for the service. I spoke with Daniel and he was very knowledgable and had the computer/tools to put my Lexus into service mode. Their prices were very resonable compared to the dealer and other OC shops and I went with a higher grade dot 4 instead of dot 3 fluid for a bit more. I waited for the service and they got me in and out quickly. Waiting area was clean and comfortable. Also brought my RX hybrid in the following week for oil/filter change, brake flush, and brake pads. Thank you again Daniel! read more

First time I came here was to get my tires changed and they did what I asked but got spot on my cloth passenger seat some how but I didn't hold it against them. Second time I came by was for an oil change but they were busy so I scheduled an appointment for the next morning and specifically asked questions to make sure i wouldn't run into the same problem.. Fast forward to the next morning and they say there's no appointment in my name plus they're still just as busy. I don't care if a business is busy and waiting but be an adult and communicate that to me. People are nice but from what I can tell they don't have the best system in place and are always taking more work than they can clearly handle. Your best bet would be valvoline for an oil change. read more

I had a very pleasant experience with Midas. I was hearing a grinding noise when driving and Arian, the gentleman at Midas, took care of it fast. He identified the issue within minutes of me arriving and explained it to me thoroughly. He seemed very knowledgeable. This place is under a new management and their service is exceptional. They are professionals and very friendly. I highly highly recommend them. read more

I had my car service for transmission fluid change and it turned out to be the worst decision to have it done at this place. I usually service my vehicle at Honda but not having secured an appointment earlier, i thought it will be wise to have it done here at Midas Lake Forest and get the car quickly. After several weeks, my car started jerking each time I start to accelerate. I had it checked at Honda to find out that the "fluid" change supposedly done by Midas has turned out to be soo dark and burnt. Had I not gone to Honda to check it right away, I was informed that could have damaged my transmission engine. Honda flushed the black fluid and replaced it with a new one and updated the software transmission. My car was running smoothly again. LESSON: NEVER NEVER TRUST this place for a "transmission fluid" change. They do not know what they are doing and it could have cost me a new transmission engine (about $5000)! read more

Took my F150 in for oil change, fluids check, and new tires. The desk personnel were outstanding and really friendly. The work was very professional. And the pricing was very competitive. Very happy with this Midas location. I would recommend them to anyone needing service. read more

I would like to say how much I appreciated Marcos today at Midas. I came in with a dead battery. He was quick to test me right away and let me know the battery wasnt good. He noticed I had a newer car and asked me a few questions. Then he told me my warranty was still good on the battery, and I can go to the dealer and get a new one for free! I have never experienced such honest service. We have a whole fleet of vans that often need maintenance. It's nice to know we can take them to someone who we can trust. Thank you for being a good person and not taking advantage of my situation! read more

Dion was very honest and helpful on our 2007 Corolla. He did explain clearly what was needed and wasn't high pressure at all. We had the work performed that day and were satisfied with the quality and speed. Very happy with the service and will bring my cars here in the future. Great people. read more

Good job Manny. I am very satisfied. Very professional. When I complained about your work in my Odyssey, you did not waste time to repair my power stirring at yout expense. I will surely recommend you. Thanks again, Angelito read more

Brake pads front and rear for the same price as one axle at a dealership. Great service too

Excellent and fast service from Marco. Left America's Tires around the corner because they were extremely slow (2 hour wait after already waited 1.5hours) and rude. Coming to Midas from now on! read more

I went to Midas in Lake Forest CA for an oil change, great customer service & value! Dion helped me, was very friendly, helpful & had my car done in 30 minutes. Purchased an air filter the next day, went back to Midas to see if they would help me install it, Dion again helped me, installed it on the spot, again great customer service! I definitely recommend this Midas location! read more

Dion handled my needs with fast and professional service!!

I came w an appt was denied service and treated with aggressive manner. Second midas location to give bad customer service in an unwarranted fashion. Calling corporate to get to the bottom of it. For now guys I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR OIL CHANGE. read more

I got lost due to the pavement being redone in the The Hat's parking lot. I am not familiar with the area. Thinking that the parking lots were connected, I made a right into the Midas parking. Realizing that was not the case, I turned around. There are speed bumps in that lot. Also there wasn't one human or car in sight. Yet this employee that has the nose of the Mad Hatter, yelled at me telling me to slow down. Numerous times. I was not going fast at all. I don't appreciate that at all. I am not a current customer but could have been a future one. This event insures that I will never go to a Midas anywhere. read more
