UPSELL!!! I took my Lexus in to have the battery checked that I had bought there. AAA had tried up-selling when they jump started it and said I needed a new one. Midas offered a quick, free diagnostic. An hour later, wheels off, they told me my brakes were very worn, so I should replace them while the wheels were off. They were not happy that I declined. John at San Diego Trux off Miramar Blvd. checked the brakes and said they won't need to be changed for at least another couple of oil changes. read more

The friendliest people I've ever Met!!!!! Always come here and drove two hours in traffic to make sure I got here today. I would never go to another Midas except for this one. read more

I hate to review because then I can't be selfish! Been coming for years. They are great!! I love these guys. Always bending over backwards. Always informative. They are prompt and realistic when they quote how long a job will take. So kind, upbeat despite the heat and a full shop of waiting customers. Even accommodating to walk-ins as best as possible. read more

I've been coming to this location to get my oil change for the last year or so since I work in the shopping center and it's convenient. I'd say the main reason I wait to get my car worked on here is due to Drew and Arron's HONESTY. They have always made sure to take care of me and have never tried to sell me anything more than I need. I was recently having issue with my car with a slight ticking noise and the car not driving like it used to. Drew was able to break everything down in detail that made sense to me, I trusted him and said let's do it. I must say I've never been more happy to spend money on my car, I haven't had it drive this nice since I got it. If you guys have any cars needs I'd say talk to these guys even though it's a big chain they have great pricing but most importantly they are HONEST here!! PS. I got a valve adjustment and spark plugs replaced. Guess those little spark plugs really do make a huge different! Thanks again Drew and Arron! read more

I have been a happy customer at Midas for several years because of the great service I always received from the previous manager and staff. With four older cars in my family, I am also a frequent customer as it seems one of them always needs to be serviced. So when I found out that the management had changed at Midas, I was in a panic about whether I would receive the same kind of quality service I had grown accustomed to. I was skeptical and not immediately trusting, knowing that big shoes would need to be filled before the new management would earn my trust. But as soon as I met the manager, Mike, all of my concerns vanished, as he and his staff quickly earned my trust and loyalty. I receive the kind of quality, friendly, honest, fair and personalized service that is hard to find these days. Mike is excellent at what he does and his professional expertise is reassuring no matter what the issue. Mike values customer service and goes above and beyond to ensure complete satisfaction, focusing on developing a relationship with his customers that will keep them coming back. I am so grateful to have a mechanic whom I trust and who cares as much as Mike does and whom I can count on to quickly diagnose any problem that comes up. Car problems are expensive and stressful enough without having to worry about whether you're being taken advantage of, so I highly recommend finding out for yourself the next time your car needs service. Just ask for Mike, and he and his knowledgeable staff will make sure you're not disappointed. read more

I hate to have to leave a bad review but after my last visit I feel its warranted. I went in for an oil change and transmission flush. When I picked up my vehicle and was given my paperwork, I noticed their inspection checklist was not included with my paperwork as it always was. I asked for it and left. Once I was home I looked it over and saw how they marked off that my belt was bad and cracked. That was not mentioned to me at pick up. The funny part is that my belt is perfectly fine. I just had a thorough inspection done on it by a mechanic the week prior and it was noted that it was good. I inspected the belt for myself and also verified that its good. My vehicle has 100,000 miles on it and this is not the first time I feel like they tried to get me for something based off of miles. I also noticed that they never replaced my sticker in the window or reset my oil life on my dash. If you go, make sure you know the condition of your vehicle so you don't possibly get ripped off. Midas overall has been letting me down more and more over the years. I think its time to move on. read more

They are amazing!! Never regret bringing my car here. Thanks Mike and Jeffrey for exceptional customer service!

I came by to have a flat tire fixed. Daniel helped me out. The office was super busy. Another employee named Dan installed the tire. The service was excellent and at no charge. The total time was about an hour. Thank you Midas! read more

Great service! The desk attendant is very polite and will help you as much as he can. He offered some fluid change services which I was hesitant about but I checked and they did need a replacement. He got my car maintained and ready to go for many more miles. I would recommend this location to get maintenance done in a timely manner. read more

I came to this place the other day referred by anther auto store and wasn't happy with the reception I got. Today I came for the Alignment appointment and Drew took great care of me, he explained to me about the alignment and apologized for the lousy service I experienced the other day, he even offered me a hefty discount on my bill, this more than made up for the unpleasant experience I highly recommend this place and the car drive good. Mabel L read more

I've been coming here for years excellent service! Want to thank Jeffery and Anthony the whole crew at Midas as a whole for making my car repairs experience less stressful. Friendly, but most importantly very professional when getting the job done RIGHT the first time. Thank you. read more

1 year later and this location is now who my family takes all our vehicles to. Drew & Aaron run a honest, efficient and professional auto needs shop! Thank you to you and your staff for being a business we can trust! read more

No one wants to deal with the infamous check engine light coming on . However given the circumstances my experience here was smooth and painless. The gentleman who helped me were Aaron and Drew! Thanks to Drew i got my car in and out and he was an awesome help :) read more

What an incredible customer service experience! I brought my car in to have the brakes inspected and found that there was some grinding on my rotors. Drew walked me over to show me the brakes and explained my options with the pros and cons of both. I elected to have my brake pads and rotors changed. I went to LA fitness and returned a hour later. Drew informed me that my car required specialized brake pads and called several places to rush them over for me. He said it would likely be another 30 mins and even offered to Uber me home if I couldn't wait. Luckily I could just walk back over to the gym but mentioned my phone was going to die so he offered me a portable charger to take with me so I could workout while I waited. EXCEPTIONAL service! Go see Drew! read more

So in March 2020, "Mike" the general manager called apologizing for what happened and alleging that everyone at the shop has been fired. He told me he wouldn't blame me if I never went back to Midas and that he would make sure I would get a full refund by not submitting the credit card charge for the work done. Well, apparently this "Mike" is also a liar because my credit card company charged me for the bill yesterday. When I called the credit card company to ask why that was done, they said Midas disputed the charge and claimed that "Mike" offered to fix my car for free under Midas warranty but I refused! Midas sent that letter in April... after this "Mike" called me. It's unbelievable how many times this company will lie. Beyond the fact that Midas didn't find the right cause to fix the car (Nissan Poway dealership did, and AC hasn't broken down since), it appears pretty much everyone who works at Midas are bunch of liars. read more

Awesome service and help at this convenient repair shop. Drew and the techs keep my car running great, with fair pricing

Took my car here twice, first time for an oil change/alignment. They were done within 2-3 hours or so. They told me that my alignment was off due in part to my shot shocks, which I knew about already, so they weren't trying to scam me or anything. The manager very politely recommended that I get them replaced, but he understood that I didn't have the money, and simply gave me an estimate for how much it would cost. After talking it over with my dad, we decided to split the cost and get new shocks for the front of my car. I took my car back to Midas, and not only did they realign my car again for free, but they also called me to inform me that the tread on the inner section of one of my tires was dangerously bare. I check my tread on a regular basis, but I was only checking the outer section of the tires. They saved me a lot of future grief! read more

Displayed price of 24.99 for oil change and tire rotation. Went in and was told price was only good with a coupon. Banner said nothing about needing a coupon. When I was taking a pic of the false advertising practice, manager came out and challenged me. Poor business practice never again. read more

Midas - False advertisement. - Auto Repair Near Me - Poway, California

I have been to this location to have items checked on my car a few times and have always had the team be very honest with me with the work that needed (or not needed) to be done. Today was no different. Brought my car in as my right side muffler was hanging low under my car. Drew (and Josh) explained to me that it had slipped out of the rubber holder, and fixed it FOR FREE. They did recommend that it eventually be replaced as they do become old and worn out, but said that it should be fine until then. I will definitely be bringing it to them to have it replaced when the time comes. Thank you guys for being a very honest and reputable workplace. I will always recommend you to all of my friends that may need an oil change or work done on their car. read more

Love Midas and their employees. Drew and Aaron are top notch. Quick to get my oil changes and tire rotations. Great customer service and you can't beat that they have US Weekly's to read if you have to wait and enjoy some coffee from the Keurig :) read more

I've never been here before and decided to drop by for a quote about getting my front and rear brakes replaced, because I've been hearing a squealing noise every time I brake. Chad thought it would be best for them to do a brake inspection on my car just to make sure. Turns out my serpentine belt was worn out, my front brakes needed to be replaced, and my rear brakes still had 70% of life left. The other car shop didn't address this issue whatsoever. I walked out of Midas with new front brakes, a replaced serpentine belt, and a brake fluid exchange. Juan hooked it up and took care of my car. All of this took an hour, while my other car shop took a whole day for just an oil change. Going here from now on for all of my car maintenance! 10/10 recommend!!! read more

Brought my fleet vehicle in for a brake job very friendly and welcoming staff and did a great job on the the brakes using high quality components at a reasonable price. I will definitely be using these folks in the future thanks again Mike read more

Went in for new tires and got an amazing deal! Customer service was fantastic. Mike was extremely helpful and friendly. He took the time to search for exactly what I needed. I will be going back for any future car troubles! read more

Woke up to a dead battery and needed it replaced quickly so I didn't miss too much work. Drew and team took me in on short notice and had me back on the road with a new battery in less than 30 minutes. Pleasant and fast. Highly recommended. read more

Can't say enough about Juan and Chad they are both honest and there Service is fantastic. Took my vehicle to dealership I was told I needs front and rear brakes with rotors after Chad pulling the wheels off came back and said NOPE no rotors are needed just brake pads. Got out of there with half the bill the dealership gave me. Strongly recommend!.. read more

Great honest group of mechanics, i had the pleasure of working with Juan and Chad. Both were able to explain to me how and what was wrong with my car. After helping come up with a plan to service my vehicle in a methodical matter. will definitely be returning to get my car serviced here highly recommend this location :) read more

I went in because there was a nail in my tire. these guys took care of me super quick and got me out of there in no time. Nayt was super nice and helpful. read more

I've been coming to this Midas location for 3+ years now - these guys know good service! Drew is always more than accommodating to ensure that my car is at its best performance level. I've never had such great customer service and great experience from a car repair shop! Sad to move away from here! Thanks for everything, guys! read more

let me just start by saying i would not let these guys change a hampster wheel, it takes quite the establishment for a tire/oil change shop to screw up a tire rotation. i own a 2018 chevy colorado zr2 iv invested almost 10 grand into it. one look and you can tell only top notch shops have worked on it. anyhow to get to the point i had them change oil and rotate my tires. in the process of pulling off my tires they snapped a lug nut stud. the so called mechanic showed me, pointed out his screw gun was not that powerful. i didnt say much just assumed they would fix it. when i picked it up after the work had been performed nothing had been said or brought to my attention. i went through an entire day of driving and when i got home that night i heard a horrific noise coming from the rear wheels. i knew what it was,a lug had come loose. i pulled off the lug nut covers that night to find one of the rear wheels had 2 lug nuts missing and the lug nuts sheered off( meaning they saw it and just disguarded them and slapped it back on put the lug covers on and said nothing to me), two lug nuts had come loose and fallen off so my 33" rear tire was being held on by only 2 lug nuts. i called Sunday morning (the work was done on Saturda) finally got a hold of corporate and they said to get it towed and fixed and to keep the receipts, i would be reinburst. i did this pep boys did the work. they pulled the wheel spacers off. Midas had over torqued the lug nuts causing them to snap off and said nothing. they did make a note on there paperwork but said nothing to me. i did what i could to keep the cost down. i got a military discount from pep boys, i had the wheel spacer replaced under warranty by ORW who installed them. they were aftermarket add-ons that are vehicle specific to my spacific truck. total cost was $145. when it came time for reimbursement Vicktor who runs the poway Midas (SKUMBAG) avoided my calls and emails till i made enough complaints into corporate. at first he only wanted to pay $35!!! I settled for $110. he kept saying its because of the after market parts. i remind you the wheel spacers were vehicle specific ordered and installed by ORW a reputable shop unlike poway Midas and victor the scumbag who runs it. i told him i had the tires rotated 3 times 1) by discount tire 2) by evans tire shop 3) by the chevy dealership after which i never ended having to have my vehicle toed afterwards. Vicktor said i should have waited till monday so they could do the work costing me more money having to take a day off of work. said its all because of the wheel spacers. i told him if there was any question about them he shouldn't have touched them. id have had no problem taking it elseware and avoiding this major catastrophe.in the end i should have sues his ass off for subjecting me and others on the road to danger for incompatant work. i would not get any work done here. avoid them at all cost. like i said before, I WOULDN'T LET THEM CHANGE OUT A HAMSTER WHEEL!!! Victor shouldn't be allowed to run an ice-scream truck!!! read more

Drew (the manager) and his guys are, hands down, the most reliable, honest, friendly, speedy, and trustworthy mechanics I've ever been to. They will walk you through exactly what work they're doing (and not hesitate to show you what's wrong), never do anything unnecessary, and get you out of there quickly. This is what going to the mechanic should be like at every garage. But, since it isn't, take your car in here. You won't regret it! read more

Mike and the guys at Midas once again have impressed me with their transparency and fair cost. Today they got my air conditioning working, replaced my battery terminals super quick, and then checked the little things like topping off my low oil level. Mike gave me a honest diagnosis along with a discounted price. In the past they have given the best deals on synthetic oil changes and new tires for my truck. Thanks guys! read more

I went for new brake pads. I ended up with new tires, brakes, oil change, and a couple quick fixes... all because they cut me such a great deal that I could afford to do it all at once. And they were fast too. read more

I was interested in buying a used car and called to ask if there was any way they could help me do a diagnostic on the vehicle I was going to purchase. They were so busy and completely booked for the day but found out my story and I was told they would squeeze me in. When I got there I was told that the diagnostic was completely free! I was super impressed. They lifted the car, ran the diagnostic and brought me underneath to explain what the first things might be that would need to be fixed. I asked Aaron who made this all happen if he would buy this car for the price they were asking, he said absolutely and now I'm driving off with a vehicle I know now is safe and reliable. I am a single mother of 4 kids and I couldn't have done it without you Midas! read more

**** After Posting a Bad Review **** Midas sent me a message saying that they would call me in 24/48 hours trying to resolve the situation and I "NEVER" received a call back, I messaged them again to let them know I did not receive a call, and I also "NEVER" got a reply back I WONT EVER GO HERE AGAIN, and I'll make sure my family or friends don't either what a horrible company read more

I'm always at a disadvantage when it comes to car repair or parts as I am not knowledgeable in this department; hence why I always anticipate being slightly upsold by repair shops on occasion. That was not my experience with this spot at all! I brought my car in for a battery replacement, and immediately Juan was so helpful trying to track down a battery that was in my price range and walked me through many different options I had. So grateful for the help I received today from both Juan and Sky. Very genuine and honest people! Will definitely be going back and will recommend it to my friends in the area! read more

All the good things you've heard of The Manager, Drew, are pretty much spot on. I just took my Sequoia in to have the brakes checked because of squealing. Once the brakes were accessible, he showed me that the brakes were still good instead of trying to feed me some line about how they really needed to be replaced. He explained that it was probably debris that got in there that caused the squealing and that if it persisted that I should come back and they'd fix it. The Sequoia will most probably be ready for a brake pad change on the rear brakes in a month or so from the looks of the current condition of the brake pads. Because of Drew's customer service, I will definitely be coming back here to get them done. read more

They performed a free inspection of the exhaust system for my car. Very friendly and professional.

Drew and the the rest of the crew are amazing best customer service definitely recommend coming here Drew always honest and trying to get you the best deals I won't go anywhere else read more

I would HIGHLY recommend Midas Tire/Auto Repair Shop. I called Discount tires and one other tire shop in the area but they didn't have the tire my AUDI required. This place said "come in and we'll take care of you asap!" I was a bit nervous coming with a deflated tire and having our three yr old. The front desk gentleman (Derrick) was so kind, respectful and helpful. He immediately took care of my car even though they were very busy!!!! We were on our happy way within thirty minutes YAHOOOOOOO!!!!!! A bonus...I was also offered a fresh cup of coffee and handed a brand new coloring book w crayons for our son. Happy mother of four :). read more

I'm 60 years...young lol It takes a lot for me to get off my old ass and write a review... OUTSTANDING customer service from the time I called and spoke with Sean, the New Manager, to thanking the mechanic Raul who not only worked on my vehicle with great care, but solved a major problem that I just paid another "professional" shop that until today I USE TO BE a regular at, to misdiagnose my problem to the tune of $120! Additionally, Raul's expertise and quick thinking in his field saved me over $300 and a couple of down days on my car. That's huge to me right now.! Thank You! So for the 2nd time in my life, I taking the time to write a review but first, THANK YOU to ALL the guys at this MIDAS, Sean, Raul, Jo Jo, Eddie, Peter and I hope I didn't miss anyone. You guys are a great team and made me feel like family. I Needed an honest estimate for some work on my 90 Toyota Supra. Not your everyday car. I needed a shop that would make sure "my baby" didn't get scratched, chipped, dinged, and / or otherwise abused on test drives, or in the lot. I needed it TODAY I needed it on a tighter budget now as I just pissed away the money I needed to fix her, at the other "professional" shop I called and s/w Sean, the New Manager. VERY IMPRESSED, with his customer service skills, knowledge of my vehicle, and assured me that I would be well taken care of. On hold, I decided to look at this locations YELP reviews.. whoa, what I was reading, verses experiencing, were two totally different things. I know as a business owner, your people make or break you. You just can't be everywhere, but it looks to me like the owner fixed whatever the problem was. Sean was very respectful and asked if he could take a look at it for me. Going with MY gut feeling, I drove from El Cajon. The shop was clean, customers in the office looked happy, coffee and donuts were there, phones were ringing, and work was getting done. Sean came out with a smile, after helping a few customers ahead of me and promptly "got my baby in" and we went from there. Looks to me like they have the right combination of people and skills at this location to satisfy even the toughest of customers high standards. If you're not sure yet, be your own man, or woman, and call Sean. I would be truly surprised, if your experience was anything less than mine. Thank you again guys...Awesome experience.
