I have been coming to this midas for 4 years now. Unlike some places i have been to (in santee), they have always been honest and trustworthy. Sometimes, they would take me in without an appointment not because i am a regular but because they understand that people can sometimes be on a tight schedule. I can chanhe my own oil (i often do) but at times when I have no time to change oils, midas is always there. read more

Always in and out with this place. They have a manager Daniel who is always friendly, very knowledgeable, and willing to do what he can to help with the bill. I will go back again and will continue to recommend them! read more

I thought all I needed was brakes in the front of my car. When I came in to Midas today I met Eric at the front and he was kind enough to say lets just check your brakes for free. After inspection I needed more than just brakes. He was kind enough to work with me on a price I can afford. Alex was the technician who worked on my car..Great guys to come see and have them help you with your vehicle. . read more

I'm giving Rusty and the Midas crew 5 stars. My experience was great. They caught and fixed some leak in my Mercury Monterey which could have causes a fire if left unfixed. They worked overtime to get this done. Great job guys! read more

Quick service, good price. Clean waiting area with a Keurig and a TV. I got an oil change in less than 45 minutes on a Saturday!

Drew took care of me very professional very courteous very kind the best experience I've ever had when it comes to a mechanic shop come and see them highly recommended. It says you took care of me. read more

Words can't describe how amazing this Midas location is .. and it's all thanks to Drew, Aaron, Matt, Victor and literally the rest of the A+ group that's available and here for you. We can all agree how hard it is to find reliable and trustworthy mechanics and being someone who's been to numerous Midas locations (can't go back to them ever...idk how to explain it) this is by far the best work and assurance anyone will ever receive. Their dedication to their work and their customers is unheard of. It's actually one of the best feelings to know how strongly they care. THEY CARE AND THEY SHOW IT. I can't thank Drew or any one of the dedicated and highly recommended mechanics enough. I appreciate you guys more than you'll ever know and I will consistently recommend you and everyone there because people need to know how strong of a family based environment you guys give to any one new or loyally there, to be a part of it. You all are so beautiful and it shows. Thank you again ‍‼‼ read more

Been using these folks for the last four years; they are great - honesty is the key word - they don't try to sell you what you don't need!!

I was looking for a good place to get my brakes done. I got a recommendation to Midas and I decided to go to their Poway location. Drew was awesome and a pleasure to work with. Domingo the mechanic was also great. They were both honest and to the point. They didn't try to up sell me like Pepboys does. One thing I didn't mention is that I live in the far eastside of Escondido as you get into Valley Center, but it was worth the drive. I definitely recommend them to others. read more

I went to Midas on Poway Road on Saturday, May 6, 2017. Drew, the manager, as well as the rest of the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Drew went over and above in helping get my car back on the road. I have been coming to this Midas shop for several years, and am always happy with the service I have received. Drew was especially wonderful to work with!!!! read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! Before I moved I would never take my car to mechanic shops but this place definitely gained my trust the minute my car entered their shop. Every experience I had was great, the employees and manager are all awesome at what they do. Had issues with my breaks and rotors and they immediately found the problem and were able to fix it and at a great price! Sad I'm moving out of the area and won't get to see them again but I wish nothing but the best for this shop! Keep it up guys! :) read more

Surprised by much of the negativity here. I have been taking my family's cars to this shop for years ( 4 cars total) and only once was I less than 100% pleased, and they fixed that situation. Adrain seems to be a very good mechanic and Will knows what he is talking about. They have gone out of their way many times to get me a ride to work, find the lowest price on parts, etc. Also, they wash your windows and vacuum the car, etc., just like Jiffy Lube does when you get your oil changed, but they are less expensive and usually faster. read more

I went here for a muffler replacement. After it was finished i was driving on the I5 when the whole muffler system fell off. Several cars had to initiate emergency maneuvers to avoid it but it eventually hit one car. I took it back (with the piece that had fallen off). They began to reattach it but when i came to inspect their work i noticed one of the workers was drinking beer with one hand while welding with the other. When they supposedly finished..the muffler system had multiple holes and it was hanging on by just 2 linkages. Rather than risk another accident i took the car over to another shop and had them redo the whole thing. This place is beyond a joke and the staff and management are plain criminals. read more

My car needed a repair that I though was outside of their capabilities. However, they were able to replace my power steering pump. It was not cheap, but it was less expensive than having it done at the dealership. Additionally, the work was done 2 days sooner than I was quoted which was great. Too bad, since I was really enjoying my rental. The manager was really nice and communicated well what was going on with my car. read more

I would go to this place again. There were good things and bad things I found. The bad: The person at the desk could have given a better estimate of the time that it would take to get a money estimate. I ended up waiting 3 hours for an oil change plus some brake issues before being told that it would take a few more hours to get to my car and fix it. The good: The mechanics did get to my car and fixed it satisfactorily. It did seem like my brake issue was a serious problem that needed fixing right away. I am glad I didn't have to wait another day to have it fixed. They did a good job and my car seemed to be running smoother after. They were short-staffed and hence the person who should have been at the desk had to work on the cars. They were very tired by the end of the day (they didn't say this), but still got around to everyone's car. I was very happy with the customer service by the end. I thought they did a good job overall. read more

My experience here has been awesome both times. The first time I came in thinking I needed something and Rusty calmed me down and told me that I needed absolutely nothing. It wasn't time for a tune up. My oil was fine. And that it was all good. It felt weird that he didn't tried to sell me anything as was just HONEST. I came in today and I needed my back lights looked at because when I hit the breaks they weren't coming on. I called ahead and he told me it was a good time to come in. Again, he took very good care of me and didn't try and up sell me. It's so refreshing. I love it here. I feel safe. read more

I came in on Sunday and was extremely impressed with the professionalism and quick turn around, great work guys! Thanks Drew, Rusty, Quentin, Josh, and Midas! If your looking for honesty check these guys out! read more

I needed an oil change and some air in the tires of my 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. I called on my lunch break on a week day and asked if this location would be available. They said to come in after work and they took care of everything right away. Was a huge relief to get this taken care of easily-hardly any wait time. The staff is friendly and helpful here. read more

Quick and reliable I like the fact that they would show me exactly what's wrong with my vehicle besides it being on a piece of paper. If I don't understand something they will be more than happy to show me and explain exactly what it's for and what it does. Thanks Drew! read more

Excellent place to have any service, auto repair or diagnostics performed. Drew and Antonio were unbelievably helpful with providing me with prices, knowledge and professionalism that is unsurpassed. Thumbs up !!! read more

I can ALWAYS depend on Drew and his team! They are thorough, they are friendly, they are knowledgeable, and they are very up front and honest! They don't sugar coat prices; they tell you exactly what you need and how much it will cost. Their area is open to the public so you don't have to worry about his team switching out parts for bad ones claiming they got it from your vehicle. You can watch them as they work and you will getbyour money's worth. I recommend this place to all my friends. Military Friendly! read more

CCJW FLEET VEHICLE SERVICE 3/17/16 Courteous, prompt and thorough service...I brought in a fleet vehicle and service was performed as scheduled and expected but with a heart. Staff was knowledgeable, helpful, welcoming and detailed oriented. I will definitely come to this Midas location for all future scheduled service. customer, Rommel S., CCJW Fleet - Rommel S. SAN DIEGO, CA read more

Drew and Aaron are great! They were really kind and helpful. Service was fast and on point. I would recommend this location for your automotive needs. read more

Great place, they are doing well under new management! Used them 4 or 5 times thus far and will go back again!

I came and dropped my Audi off at this location because I had a flat tire. I did not buy my tires here and when I dropped off the car the bay's were all full and the service writer told me he would try to squeeze me in if I could leave my car for an hour or so... When I returned he handed me he keys and told me I was good to go. This type of customer service is hard to find especially when this was my first experience at this location. They repaired my tire for free and with quick and friendly service even tho they were slammed. I would highly recommend this Midas to anyone. read more

Great customer service, Drew and Aaron are awesome to work with. I won't go anywhere else in San Diego!

I had the mounts replaced on my Honda Accord (separate from when I got the struts replace...long story) at this Midas shop. The manager, Mark K, was amazing in getting the work coordinated and completed. He was very professional and courteous as well as efficient. Thanks Mark! read more

I have been taking my car to Midas in Poway for a couple years now. They are very honest mechanics and so friendly. Their prices are quite reasonable too. I highly recommend them. read more

This review is long overdue. About 9 months ago I was in a horrible accident. My car was totalled and taken to a tow shop down the street from Midus. I wasn't sure how severe the damage was so I got it towed to Midas and they were very helpful and friendly. They quickly gave me an estimate on how much it would cost to fix. They also recommended someone who may want to buy my car for scraps. I was stuck in a bind because I did not have money to fix it so they let me store my car there for 2 days. Normally, mechanics or auto shops don't try to help you or store your car. I was amazed at their customer service and professionalism. I unfortunately did not receive any services from them yet they continued to treat me as a valued customer. Thanks again Midas! Even though I live in Lakeside, if I have any car troubles I would prefer to drive to Poway to see them because I know they are honorable. read more

I really only go on yelp when a business does a fantastic job or a horrible job. Let me tell you that Midas on Poway road and their staff, especially the Mgr. Drew, are top notch. I needed work on two of my cars in the last 3 weeks. I always shop around for the best price for repairs. I called 4 different shops in Poway and both times Midas had the best price. I was impressed with the knowledge of the mechanical issues and that they were able to fix the cars quickly. They are open on Sundays, which is amazing. The shop is clean and the employees are friendly and professional. I wish I knew about the Midas shop sooner. I always thought of them as a brake shop only, but now know they are a full service garage. I highly recommend this shop. If you want the best price and service, go to Midas Poway. From now on I will only bring my cars to Midas. read more

Being my first oil change, I didn't know where to start. At first I was nervous, but Drew, and Jason were beyond helpful. They took over as soon as I walked in the door, and I was in and out, in under 20 minutes. I couldn't have had a better first experience, I will definitely be coming back. Thank you SO MUCH!!! read more

Worst place I have ever been to!, I paid $500 for a replacement part and labor, I had to wait 1hr 15min for them to START the work on my car, the whole time I was waiting they did 5 oil changes and 2 routine maintenance jobs, I was told their was one person working and my car would be done within the next hour!, in all it took 2hrs to change a power steering pump!?? Meanwhile the $40 oil changes are flying out the door left and right, I guess I came to the wrong mechanic shop. read more

I took my car in for new brake pads. After their courtesy inspection, they forgot to screw on the radiator cap which resulted to over-heating of my engine and coolant splashed all over my engine. I didn't realize this until after I have driven about 100 miles on the freeway when smoke/steam vapor began to appear from underneath my hood. I highly recommend NOT to take your car there. read more

Stay away from this place. Mgmt will try to rip you off! I came in with a $30 brake coupon (off regular price). Mgmt lied to me and said that the posted 179.99 price was $30 off. The sign clearly said the regular price was 179.99. They just did not want to accept the coupon. I went to Big O Tires instead. read more

I had a great experience here. My car started making a horrific sound one day at noon. I called Midas and they scheduled me first thing the next morning. They diagnosed the problem, showed me that my brake pads were essentially gone, did the work and I was on my way in under 90 minutes. They were very nice; the waiting area was clean and stocked with water, coffee, magazines and crossword puzzles! I'll be back should the need arise. read more

I brought in my Chevy equinox with a broken ac unit. They did try to sell an 85 dollar inspection for the unit, I'd recommend opting out of this service and just get an AC recharge done here. This place offered a very good price of $51 dollars for an evac and recharge. This service was on a special so do call ahead and check to make sure they're offering this service at this price. I did receive prompt service and they did have proper tools for the job (a yellowjacket ac machine). They were able to fix my problem so I'd recommend this place but do check to see if they have any specials. read more

Oh man... If you are in need of ANY automotive services, go here first. Not only did these guys do an outstanding job doing the front brakes on my Mini Cooper, they even helped me out when I did the back ones and my Amazon ordered pads disintegrated! They hooked me up with new pads and had me ready to go in just an hour. The guys are extremely knowledgable and helpful. Go here before you go anywhere else! read more

This place is a rip off. They try to get you all our money and more. You come for an oil change they keep trying to make buy stuff. I am reporting them to the BBB. The guy behind the counter Eric does not respect his customers at all. Never will step again thus shop. read more

Of all the days we just had to get a flat tire! It was a rainy day in San Diego and we were miles away from home. The warning light came on suddenly and said that our left rear tire was losing air. Thankfully, we were able to pull in to a gas station at the next freeway exit. Hubby replaced the flat with our spare....turns out that a piece of metal punctured our tire. The attendant at the gas station said that there was a tire place that was open the next exit over. We Googled for a tire repair place and Midas came up. While there were a couple more tire repair places open, we decided to go to Midas. When we got there, Tim greeted us and we told him that we had a flat that needed some attention. It was definitely an easy fix and Tim and his team took their time to ensure that everything was safe, secure, and ready to go! The best part of it was, the repair was FREE!! Thank you, Tim and team for the great customer service!! read more

I came in for an alignment and set of tires several weeks ago. Good service and very competitive price that beat the other local tire stores on the exact same brand/model/size. And I didn't feel pressured into a bunch of add-ons. Just one star off for the process taking quite a bit longer than promised. Overall I plan to return in the future. read more
