Went here for an oil change, they took my cabin filter out and said it had a snail and acorns on it. They put it back in and left the debris in there. When I turned my heat on the whole front of the car vibrated and it sounded like a plane landing in the front seat. I brought it back to them and they were going to charge me over $100 to fix the issue they caused. I left and took it to a mechanic. Will never go back. read more

I took my Toyota in a few months ago because it was jerking, the guy told me I needed my engine mounted------ over 2 thousand dollars later and it just started jerking today. Remind you I barely drive my car. They jerked me outta 2 thousand dollars! This is a shame! read more

43 minutes waiting for a oil change that takes usually 10 min at valvoline. Had to ask to cancel the service and go to another place. Why they ask us to make an appointment if they can't offer the service on time. Ridiculous! read more

TLDR: Shit Service, Shit Attitude, Shit Management. They scam people and don't take responsibility. Possibly one of THE WORST experiences I've ever had with this place. Was told I could bring my car in around 8am to get tires installed. Was told the car should be ready by 12-1pm. I showed up at that time and the guy at the front desk told me he was going to call me to ask about other services. I already stated what i wanted to be done to my car when I showed up the first time. I thought they were already done with my car but they finally started working on it after 15 minutes. The workers don't really work, all they do is talk and wander around. A few minutes after, some guy came in. He stated he dropped his car off at 8am for a simple oil change. The guy at the front desk told him they never started and was a bit back up. Guy took his keys and left. Another customer came in complaining that he had transmission issues after visiting them. The guy at the front desk assisting the customer got offended and was raising his voice and attitude even though the customer only needed a simple request. Around closing time, they finally finished putting new tires on my car. So about a 4-5 hour job just to onstall tires. Talk about pathetic service. Horrible service and horrible management. If you want to be 5 hours late for your job, just bring your car here ! read more

Have use this Midas service on the Lynnway in Lynn a couple of times, and was never really very happy. It's usually a long wait they high price in the last time I was there they told me I needed a new catalytic converter for my Kia SUV. quoted me a crazy price I brought it to another muffler place and the technician they told me all I needed was the pipe to be replaced that will just going into the catalytic converter. He slid a small piece in there, welded it up and for $100 I was out of there in no time I've had this fix on my vehicle for many years now, and they be quite honest it's not about the price that I paid. I was even thinking about it was whether or not it was fear and people were taking advantage of me for this reason I will not go to mitis even for an oil change there are too many other places that I could trust and believe in, maybe it's the management or maybe it's just a company itself I don't know. In the be very honest, I don't care. read more

Each time I go to MIDAS I am greeted by Ivan at the front desk with care and professionalism. Regardless of the size of the city, Ivan still seems to recognize his regular customers and makes them feel welcome and taken care of. As far as the guys who work in the garage, they are honest and knowledgeable at what they do. Prices tend to be fair and it is also nice to have the credit card option for financing expensive jobs as well. MIDAS is my husband and I go to place for our cars. Thank you Ivan and Team! -Shannon Kane Lynn MA read more

To be fair, it's on me for never scheduling my oil change in time and by the time I have a day off Midas is the only one left with appointments. I just wish for once that when I schedule an oil change for 1 o'clock it meant that the car got put in at that time instead of 2:15. If i had wanted my car worked on at 2, I'd have scheduled it for two. And yes I know it can get backed up from time to time but there was no alert given about any kind of delay or backup. I'm glad I'm moving away from here. read more

Came here around 9 am on a week day for my inspection sticker. Didn't have to wait long at all to have the inspection started. Was in and out in under 25 minutes. Friendly staff. Waiting area has some sodas, coffee, and water while you wait. read more

Midas - Auto Repair Near Me - Lynn, Massachusetts

See all

I left my good working car for oil change, big mistake that I left it there over night because of my schedule. They called me next day that my car had many issues that need to be addressed. I said no thanks, and picked my car then shortly after I found my car got a lot of issues. Very dirty business practices. Will never never recommend anyone there. I told all of my friends about this shop already, and I do need to let everyone aware of them, here you go my review. If you do have work there please stay and watch them the whole process...pls.. read more

OK, I know I'm a girl and know nothing about cars, but that is no reason to take advantage of the situation. I needed new front brakes so I took it to midas for repair. Not only did it take them 6 hours to get back to me about what was wrong and how much it would cost, but they told me I needed new front and back breaks as well as new rotors and would cost like $600. OK NOT COOL!! I may be clueless when it comes to cars but I can tell whether my front or back breaks need to be fixed. I only had them fix the front, which took another 3 hours, although they strongly recommended that I fix my back brakes. 5 months later I took it to another location to have my back brakes fixed and they told me it wasn't necessary, that they would be OK for a few more months. The mechanics at midas are scummy, money hungry bastards. Auto service experts my ass. Unless you are going just to get your oil changed, never go to midas, they will try to screw you! read more

The worst! Been here twice for inspections. Total BS. Each time, they come up with a bs reason to fail my perfect 5 year old car, this time it was $50 to aim my headlights. This car has passed inspection every year at multiple other places without any issues. Also, very slow! Stay away, Sullivan tire around the corner much more fair, honest, and faster. I created this account just to review this location. Seriously, stay away. Read the "not recommended" reviews of this place. read more

Made an appointment at 11:00 for an oil change. Got there on time and had to wait 2 hours. When they were done I drove my car for a little and then my oil pressure light came on and said to stop the vehicle. They never put the cap back on and then never owned up to it and said it magically fell off. Had to tow it back. Never apologized and were not friendly. Terrible experience. read more

I would give negative stars if an option. Given a hard time getting oil change and tires rotated. Had appointment and waited an hour still. Retued home to find hubcap missing. Avoid them at all costs!!!! Bad business practices read more

Took my wife's car for $17.76 oil change & tire rotation special 6/16/20, not only did it take an hour but they didn't want to rotate the tires because they said the tires were in bad shape. I had just gotten an inspection sticker 15 minutes prior after having the exhaust repaired @ Lou's custom exhaust right down the street and it easily passed inspection!!! Today, 6/18/20 I bring my truck in for same oil change special and again they're making excuses to NOT rotate my tires!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY WITH ANY BUSINESS THAT DOES NOT WANT TO PERFORM THE WORK THERE ADVERTISE!!! DON'T EVER GO TO THIS SHOP!!!!! read more

I have been to this location about half a dozen times for brakes, muffler work, oil changes and inspections. Ivan at the front desk has always been pleasant, professional and as helpful as possible during all transactions. I love being able to make appointments online and call with questions or to reschedule. They give me an idea of what needs to be done immediately and what can wait - thank you for always being straight forward about this. read more

Came back to double check on a problem that started in my front brakes right after I declined their service on them and asked them to do my rear brakes instead. Just got plenty of BS. When I told the, otherwise friendly Hispanic guy, that there is a grinding noise coming from the front of the car, he told me it's because I didn't replace the front pads. "Dude!!! The grinding noise comes when the car is driving -- NOT when I hit the brakes!!!" He wouldn't listen and blamed it on me not letting them replace the front brake pads. They got one star because I couldn't give them 0 stars. Is the Midas company back to its old tricks? read more

I have a fleet vehicle which is a pain when it comes to service (in this case inspections) because you have to use a fleet card. The cards issued say "gas only" but we are told to use them for maintenance service as well. We cant use corporate credit cards because this does not bill the Fleet company, so we are are limited in our options. The first 2 places i went refused to even try to use the card because it said "gas only". So i called the number on the card to ask where I could go and once you input your zip code it spews a list out. I went to 4, FOUR of the approved Fleet maintenance shops and not one did state inspections. I was super frustrated because it was now approaching rush hour, and being close to the city I was not in the mood on a Friday. I had already spent an 2.5 hours at this point and hadn't accomplished anything. I called the fleet company and they couldn't find any approved places (I refused to go anywhere other than a town touching mine at this point). They offered Midas, and I told him to call on my behalf and be sure they would take the fleet card because I had tried for an oil change at another Midas and was rejected because the fleet card said "gas" 2 months prior. The fleet guy called and it turns out I was right, my card would not work there. The fleet guy worked out an arrangement with Ivan (of Midas) to pay via credit card if Midas called him back when i got there. I arrived at Midas and Ivan and Connor took care of things. Granted they had to call the Fleet company a few times because it kept disconnecting them, Connor kept trying. It actually took them more time to gain the approvals and wait on hold then to do the inspections; I was so happy that they were patient because I was anything but at that point! read more

What a joke! I went in for an oil change and tire rotation on a Friday morning at 8:15AM, forty-five minutes after opening. The three mechanics and the manager are eating breakfast and apparently one customer waiting. OK, we all have to eat. But, then again, NOT exactly killing it either. He asks me how he can help. I ask if I can get a oil change and tire rotation. He asks if I have an appointment - I respond no. He points out correctly that the Groupon states you have to call for an appointment. He asks if I can leave the car for several hours - I say no (several hours for an oill change?!?). If you are a manager and your staff is not exactly over burdened wouldn't you accept work? Even if unplanned? Is the goal of the Groupon promotion to turn business away? I have been a customer of them for several years - but no more! Whoever owns this shop must be looking for LESS revenue. I guess the shortsighted manager must be hoping to be out of a job soon. read more

Haha wow, don't think they do this just to women they scam the guys too. I went into this shop playing stupid. These mutha fu@#Kers broke my calipers and made me pay for the part and to reinstall it. Worst of all I brought the car in at noon they didn't tell me they broke the part untill 6pm at close. Along with that more than a $1000 in suspension work was recommended by their technicians which was more than the book value for my car!!! Stay far away for this shop if possible for the pricing they charge, just go to a dealer. I tell you the truth I was about to strangle the fricking morons until I realized I was out numbered. No star rating for this shop my experience was horrible. read more

I called to get prices on a set of tires. They answered the phone, and when I asked for a price on a set of tires for my car I was told to call later. I asked why, and said I knew my size, just needed a price. He said he was busy and if I needed a price to call later. I said then I'll try somewhere else, and was responded with "Good", click. I was blown away. And will never step foot in one of their locations. read more

I appreciate the price at Midas for the oil change ($30 and change with tax) but I made an appointment for 1pm, dropped my car off at 12:50 and was asked for "1 hour and any extra time would be great". I came back at 1:50 assuming the car would be close to done however it hadn't even entered the bay. Appointments are set for a reason, if I agree to an appointment time that means I have set my day, for you to not have even started on my car after the time it should have finished means that you don't care about my schedule but only yours. If you're going to have appointments, set them and keep them. read more

My husband and I were traveling from Salem back to Boston over the weekend when we heard something wrong with our tire. We pulled over and saw a huge bolt lodged into our tire. The Midas was closing but the guy at the front desk was willing to take a look at it. We were concerned because the next day we had to take the trip back to NJ. The guy told us we needed a plug and he quickly fixed it for us. When we tried to give him money he refused! We wanted to say thank you again! read more

Soooooo I was in the market for new tires and Midas gave me the best online quote. When I entered my cars info they have 3-4 tires with the same low price. I picked the best reviewed and thought I was on my way. I went to drop off my car at the allotted time. I arrived and was waiting for about 15 mins. No one was at the desk. I walked around a little and still saw no one. I finally just called from my cell phone until someone picked up. The associate named Adam walked over and with a slight attitude said " we don't have those tires, I don't even know why they come up". He then scolded me for not answering my phone. Ummm Adam, maybe you should have left me a voicemail to let me know what was going on. Suddenly Midas doesn't have any of the 3-4 brand tires I was looking for, chosen because I have a budget. Why does the website say you have tires that you don't. Why does the website say you have several tires at my price point yet you have none of those? He then tried to sell me tires that were over $200 more. I decided I'd look elsewhere. If I get a quote from a company for a product and services I expect to walk in and pay that price barring any unusual circumstances. What a waste of time for myself and the person who went with me to drop my car off. read more

I have had this Midas do the servicing on my 1999 Ford pickup truck for years, and they have always been honest and fair. For a franchise shop, it isn't bad. If you find a private mechanic in his own garage somewhere, and he/she is outstanding, then you are truly fortunate. But for the rest of us average jamokas and palookas, the Midas on the Lynnway is a good bet. read more

After breaking down in the worst possible place, my car was fixed quickly. They have been taking care of my car for several years and do an great job. Very helpful and friendly people. I would highly recommend them. read more

My car was making a rattling sound like it was ready to fall apart. I was in the neighborhood popped in and Javier took care of the problem. Quick, friendly, and instilled trust in me. read more

They had me make an appointment for an oil change at least 45 min before their closing because they said they needed 45 min for the oil change. I had to leave work early because of that only to find out that it only took them 10 min after all since they did none of the other checks that they had in the package (e.g. tire rotation and checking/filling the other fluids). 2 stars for the efficiency in the oil change instead of 0 that I would five for all the inconvenience and not fulfilling the package I paid for. Not trustworthy! Never again! read more

Takes over and 1 hour to do an oil change I made an appointment in advance everyone's car seemed to be worked but mines

I found the servive here proffesional, timely and friendly. They diagnosed quickly and did a great job.

One of our car's tires ran over up a screw just as we were about to drive 3.5 hours home to CT. I called Midas, explained our situation, and they told me they were backed up but they would fit us in. A little over an hour later our tire had been fixed at no cost and we were on our way home. Thanks! read more

This is the best place I've ever been to for car service!! Mike was extremely kind and helpful. I came to get an oil change and Midas had the cheapest price I could find. They were quick and efficient. I will definitely come here whenever I have any problems and I wholeheartedly recommend this place. Thanks again Mike for all of your help! read more

Just came from Midas in Lynn. Want to say what a wonderful man Ivan the manager is. It was very refreshing to talk to someone who is so respectful today. read more

I've had my front breaks, rear breaks, and an oil change here. They have been great every time. When I got my rear breaks fixed I was blown away because so much work needed to be done and it was a lot of money (due to my own fault of not bringing it in right away when I thought there was a problem)! But Donna the manager was helpful and told me that I should start getting my oil changed here and have them do an inspection of my breaks when I get my oil changed. That way we can prevent future problems before they start! So I brought my car for an oil change today. Donna was there and remembered me! We chatted for awhile and I told her that my rear wind shield wiper was stolen! Yes stolen! She ordered one because I need a special type on my jeep (which was probably why it was stolen) and had them put it on!! I didn't even wait that much longer and the price with the windshield wiper and the oil change was still really inexpensive! I will be returning again for my next oil change! Mainly because the customer service is great, especially Donna and because the price is good (just as long as I don't wait forever to have my breaks inspected again) read more

A huge shout out and thank you to the Midas Muffler team on the Lynnway. Nice waiting area with coffee, water, soda; magazines; TV. The staff was kind and understanding At first they could not find the problem noise so they asked me to drive with them until we heard it. Turns out it was something minor and they did not even charge me. I will definitely return for future service. read more

I was quite skeptical of this place because of the other reviews on yelp. But I actually had a very pleasant experience at this Midas location. My car desperately needed a muffler part, and my car made it to their parking lot, but wasn't getting anywhere else. So I was pretty much obligated to get my car fixed at this place. I imagined they would charge me through the roof for it seeing my desperate situation. But, the guy was very honest and fair. He showed me exactly what was wrong with my vehicle, and told me what it would cost. It seemed reasonably priced. He had it done in an hour and no surprise charges at the end when I picked up my car. My car work, I didn't spend too much, I'm happy. read more

Called 3 days ago to make an appointment for an oil change today at 11am. I got there right on time and said I was here to drop my car off for an oil change and they looked at me like I had 10 heads and said, well, do you have an appointment? I said yes, I made one a few days ago. Of course they had no record of that. They told me they couldn't do the oil change but if I could leave my car for a few hours, then they could do it. Needless to say, I was very mad. I was going out of state an hour later so I could not leave my car. Isn't that the whole point of making an appointment? I will go elsewhere from now on when I need an oil change. read more

I went for an oil change today. I walked in and said I wanted an oil change. The old guy with glasses didn't even look up at me and said "there's no way we can do it right now drop your car off and come back at six. He didn't give me any kind of price or say we are a little bit busy just a miserable remark. I just walked out and didn't even say anything to him. How can you have someone at the front desk of your business who makes it out that you are bothering them even though you are giving them business. I wouldn't bring my car to Midas even if my car was on fire going down the Lynnway. Obviously reading all the other reviews there hasn't been anything done I gave the corporate office a call maybe that will change things. read more

Do not bring your foreign car to this shop! I brought my car in for an oil change. Despite the description that "the experts" will top off the fluids; rotate the tires, etc. They refused to do so. I returned my car two days in a row for low fluid levels. I was told that a Volkswagon needs a "special windshield wiper fluid" and the next day, my coolant level light was on. Again, refused to refill. They do not stock Volkswagon fluids and was informed I need to go to a volkswagon dealership. Will be reporting this location to BBB. read more

I made a yelp account just so that customers would not come here! They are by far the worse and rudest establishment ever. They wil take advantage of you. They will over charge you. I went there to fix my breaks and rotors and they broke the hood of my car! I could not even open it! I called them and asked why they needed to open the hood of my car. Gave me some BS. etc. I called other midas locations and they said they would not even touch it. They are rude, aggressive, and only out there for your wallet. In addition, the mechanics talk all day I had to wait 5 hours on a slow day and cost my $400.00! Just deplorable. Stay away from the Lynn Midas! I agree with Jackie G. below. Its 2012 and they are still pulling those tricks. I am not exaggerating, nor do I wanna sound cocky, but I am clearly educated and smart enough to know when someone is messing around and stealing your money. Don't come here! The woman there and the manager are absolutely rude. read more

I have had mostly postivie experiences here. Honest for a chain until my last visit. A shop manager i had not seen before was trying to do the hard upsell you get at most dealerships. He tried to charge one guy 79 bucks for a premium oil change which did not go over well. Then they tried to get me to fall for the 'you need some new belts and hoses' trick. I have a subaru and just had the 70k checkup so there are no belt or hose issues. Great place or horrible place depending on the shop manager and mechanics. The older shop managers are better, the young guy just wants to charge people who don't know any better. read more
