June 1, I went to to Midas. More specifically the Littleton, Colorado location located at, 8270 s Holly Street. They charged me $100 upfront for the diagnostic test and said it would be applied towards my overall bill had I completed my work with them but would have been charged this regardless if I did not. So naturally when they told me I needed a new set of spark plugs and ignition wires I left my car with them to complete the work. My car was running again! This is good because I moved out to North Carolina. I started having small issues accelerating but thought nothing of it as it is a 2009 vehicle and just drove it a long distance. I was driving home from my new job August 11, my car was struggling and the check engine light started flashing at me. As I am not a car expert, I took my car in the following morning to a Firestone next door to work so I could leave it there and walk to work. The only Midas locations in my new hometown were all permanently closed. Firestone called me to inform me one of my ignition wires was not plugged in, instead it was laying across my exhaust and had burned through. I had them complete the work for me. This cost me another $370.03 that I absolutely DID NOT need to pay for since I had already paid to have this work done by an apparently negligent mechanic. I called the store to speak to the manager and again, I am not car expert, I ended up going back in to Firestone to have the mechanics speak to this manager. Who then offered to reimburse me the $139.98 for the ignition wire but "did not charge you for a diagnostics test" so that's the best they would offer. I called corporate in full understanding that these locations are a franchise. They told me a district manager or a shop owner would be in touch with me. 1 week later I still have not heard from anyone. When I called corporate to follow up on the case number I opened, he kept saying "had you called Midas they would have recommended somewhere that would have been able to cover the costs". While I continuously repeated how this work was JUST DONE and it should NOT have been the result of my check engine light flashing! So of course I went to the closest mechanic to work thinking it must be something completely different! I was not going to call up Midas (especially since there is not a single one remotely close to the town I live in now) and ask if they had screwed up the work they did and why is my check engine light on. Midas should be held responsible for the full reimbursement. This is a $370.03 I would not have had to pay had the work at this shop been completed correctly the first time! I work hard for my money and let's be honest I don't have a lot, so for some of us $370.03 was a significant amount to throw out on something a second time. NOT TO MENTION, not a single person had called me since I called a week ago but apparently the "higher up management" decided they would only pay back for the ignition wires. THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW! I am attaching both the Midas receipt and Firestone as well as the photo of my burnt ignition wire that Firestone let me keep. I am taking to social media because I was wronged and they are not making it right. I won't be walked over about this, I am a women with a lack of knowledge how cars work but I do know wrong from right. And I think the Midas off of Holly Street in Littleton deserves a big shout out for their lack of attention to detail and lack of responsibility and lack or care for customers. If anyone is willing to share it would be greatly appreciated. Even if I don't see a dime back after this I don't care, don't go to this Midas.

On Saturday October 12th, my fiancé and I brought my 2018 Subaru BRZ to Kevin and crew to install our new aftermarket MXP Comp RS exhaust system that we had just had delivered, brand new, in the box, sealed in plastic/bubble wrap, on the preceding Thursday night. The system cost us over $700. As instructed by Kevin, my fiancé carried the packaged exhaust system inside Midas and set it down in the service bay and we left for the morning while it was installed. When we were called that afternoon to pick the car up, my fiancé noticed one of the exhaust tips was visibly scratched. It appeared the system was "walked" or dragged across the concrete bay floor. Immediately bringing it to Kevin's attention, he stated "well, I guess I'm buying you a new tip." When it was time to pay, I asked my fiancé if we should refuse to pay for the installation fees until the situation was remedied, but he decided to give Midas/Kevin the benefit of the doubt and pay for services rendered with the understanding that we would at least be compensated for the damage. Kevin knocked $40 off of the install ($200 paid), included a handwritten IOU for the damaged tip with his signature on the receipt, and told us to expect a call within the week upon speaking with the location's manager/owner. The reason for this was presumably due to the fact that the tips only come as a 2 piece set and costs $180 from the manufacturer. Kevin told us to expect a call the following week after he received the okay to order the tips. My fiancé called on Thursday 10/17 to follow up and spoke with Isaiah who handed the call back to Kevin who told us again to standby for a phone call, this time by Friday at lunchtime. Friday at lunchtime came and went without a phone call as promised by Kevin so I visited Midas after work to follow up in person. When I walked in, I was not greeted, but rather Kevin began nervously laughing and put his hands up while telling me that he hadn't forgotten about me and that he was still waiting to hear from the manager/owner. I asked him to please let his manager/owner know that we were just a couple of days away from filing a formal complaint to which he said "okay" as I left the shop. As of this morning, it has been 6 business days since the date of installation and my fiancé and I have not once been contacted by Kevin or a shop manager/owner on rectifying the mistake made by Midas employees so I have moved forward with the complaint through corporate. I will also leave this review on Yelp and file a similar report through the Better Business Bureau. I am hoping they will follow through with their promise to order us the part(s) that their employees damaged as I paid $200 for them to damage it. If I wanted to damage aftermarket parts during installation, surely the company knows I could have handled that on my own for free.

Great experience at Saul's Autotek! Hopped right on our issues we drove up with at 4:30 on a…read moreWednesday, gave us excellent customer service, spoke with us every time there was a update, and they stayed late to make sure we got it done and back to our Colorado Springs home we were staying at on our vacation. Coming from North Carolina and needing to get back in a few days, Mike the service manager really helped and made sure we were taken care of. Even speaking on their work if we have any issues when we get back home to give him a call. Highly recommend!

DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE -- SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN…read more I paid approximately $2,400 to have my vehicle repaired at this mechanic shop, including work on the right control arm and other mechanical issues. As soon as I left the shop, I noticed a clanking noise coming from my vehicle. I immediately contacted the shop about the noise because I was concerned that something was not right with the repair. The problems continued, so I eventually took my vehicle to a Subaru specialist/dealership for a second opinion. I was shocked to be told that the shop that had performed the control-arm repair had failed to properly connect/secure the ball joint. Learning this was extremely alarming. A ball joint is a critical component of the vehicle's suspension and steering system, and I was told that the way it had been left could have put me in a very dangerous situation and potentially put my life at risk. After finding this out, I contacted the mechanic shop again. I called approximately 3-6 times trying to speak with someone about what had happened and to address my concerns. Despite my repeated calls, the owner did not return my calls. When I finally reached the owner, instead of apologizing or acknowledging the seriousness of what had happened, he gave me excuses about why he had not had time to call me back. Not once did he apologize for the situation, acknowledge that the repair had potentially put my safety at risk, or offer any accommodation or assistance. What makes this even more frustrating is that the shop had also recommended additional work costing approximately $1,600 for spark-plug-related repairs. I am very glad I decided to get a second opinion before allowing them to continue working on my vehicle. I paid $2,400 expecting my vehicle to be repaired correctly and safely. Instead, I had a clanking noise immediately after leaving the shop, had to repeatedly contact them about my concerns, and then learned from a Subaru specialist that a critical component related to the repair had not been properly connected. My experience with this shop was extremely disappointing and frightening. I would never take my vehicle back there, and I strongly recommend that anyone considering using this shop get a second opinion and have their vehicle thoroughly inspected by another qualified mechanic. When it comes to something as serious as a suspension component that could affect the safety and control of your vehicle, your life is not worth taking the risk.
