I took my voltswagon in because the engine light was on. I decided to go to this place since they are open on the weekends. I was disappointed in the costumer service. I always had to be the first to call to get an update on my car. I had an appointment and at 9am and dropped it off but they didn't look at it until a day later which I then had to call again to see the status. They claimed my phone number wasn't working but I had no issues with my phone and it worked fine following that day. They had my car for 5 days while I paid for a rental car out of pocket and they ordered parts and I had to bring it back to have them fix it. Then on my way home a new light on my dash pops up and then my engine light cane back on for the problem I just paid $650 to fix. I had to bring it back in and they checked it and said they fixed the problem but the lights came back on!!! Total nightmare! Then I had to bring it back in and they had it for 2 more days to fix the problem at that time they covered the charges for the new part they should of replaced in the first place apparently. It was a very frustrating overall experience to say the least. And very expensive with the rental car expense along with Lyft rides to and from work and to Midas to pick up and drop off my car 4 different times. ‍ read more

I went in to get two tires and the struts on my SUV replaced (information provided to be by a different place during a separate visit). I already knew this was going to be a large chunk of change but they had a great promotion going on so I couldn't pass it up. From the moment I went in, I felt very comfortable - considering I have no idea about cars and car issues. As I waited for my vehicle to be completed I watched as Jesus assisted other customers and was very impressed with how personable he and all the staff was. It wasn't a high pressure environment as other places are. I am used to going in for one thing and being told that I need other work done....in a more pushy/pressuring way. This is not the case here. Jesus and the team are very nice and do not make you feel like you are just a sale. I would definitely come here again and I recommend this place to others. read more

Great customer service. Called to make the appointment and Richard was very kind and helpful. The service team was very professional and even showed me the issue before they did the repair. I'll definitely be back. read more

Went in to get an alignment they only did the toe on the alignment told me I would have to pay another 90 to get the caste and camber. So I paid 90 bucks for nothing then. Complete rip off. Hated to have gone here in the first place. Next time back to my regular guy who always take care. They're techs are not even certified! Paying top dollar for a back yard work. read more

If I could give it a rating lower than this I would. There is a whole list of problems now due to the work done by this establishment. I have a 97 civic which I have had for the last 10 years and have taken very good care of. I have always replaced hoses and done the work necessary to keep my car in good condition. With that being said I realize it is an older vehicle. I took my car in because of rattling issues which turned out to be the rack and pinion and a check engine light that was found to be the intake sensor. This was the first visit and I was quoted a price in the range of $1,700. Which the assured me would get me back on the road safely and as cost effectively as possible. Got the work done. Less then 48 hrs later I realize my cruise control doesn't work and neither does the horn. I call tell them the issue and they tell me to bring it back and I would be taken care of. They pull the car apart again and find that the person who had performed the repair sliced some wires that were responsible for the proper function of the issues. They say they can get the part within an hour and have the car back to me by the end of the day. It took two days, and I was the one that had to call them to find out what was going on with my car and why it was taking so long. They told me the wrong part was delivered and that it would be there first thing in the morning and I would have my car back to me by mid afternoon. False! They took until they closed and didn't call to tell me it was done, so once again I called. "Ohh yeah, your car is done but we are about to close are you on your way?" What? No i'm not on my way cause you never told me my car was ready. I ask them to leave the car keys somewhere discreet and to lock the doors of my car. They took that as lock the keys in the car. I have a friend drive me to my car which is locked with the keys inside! No one waited to see that those requests were followed and I am on day three without my car. I call first thing in the morning next day asking what the deal was and why my keys were locked in the car. The manager apologizes and proceeds to blame someone else in the shop for the mix up. I proceed to walk to the store location to pick up my car from them. When I get there, fuming of course, the shop manager proceeds to give me back handed apologies about the situation saying that it's a minor inconvenience and says that someone would be there within the hour to pop the lock of my car so I can finally get the keys and my car. I decline his service call AAA and they were there in 15min to unlock my car. I have the car back now for less than 4 months and guess what happens again? You guessed it, check engine light and the rack and pinion are bad. When I go in this time I get an oil change and tell them the issues, they say that the O2 sensor is now bad and so is the speed sensor, as well as the rack an pinion. Which they say is under warranty but not the work to do so........This makes absolutely no sense. But it still gets better. After that diagnosis and a refusal on my part to pay them again for more maintenance I leave only to find now that my ABS light comes on and off when it wants or when I engage the brake. The tachometer goes up and down when you brake and have the turn signal on. The speedometer simply stopped working as well as the radio. Windows are near dead as well as the dome light, and the cruise control doesn't work. I am beyond frustrated by this point but why risk taking it somewhere else when they are responsible for the work they did and the resulting problems. Took it back in today at 7:30 they run diagnosis and have me come to the back with them again where they proceed to tell me that it's the alternator, which I just had replaced within less then a year. And they say that it is just a coincidence that this issue is coming up and was aware of it when I brought it in the day before but just forgot to mention it to me. This is absolutely unacceptable. I told them to take their hands off and or out of my car, because I refuse to pay them anymore money to make my car less safe. I have filled a complaint with the main office and hope to get this resolved quickly and if you are reading this I would highly suggest that you not take your car to this particular establishment. The main point of this is that the work that I paid for was not done properly and when I requested that that work be done correctly I was met with and outstretched hand that demanded more money to do the right thing. I now have a car that is unreliable and very unsafe to drive by my standards and I would assume by most auto technicians standards, but they were willing to let me walk out the door to potentially hurt my self and or others with an unsafe car. This is their Midas touch and it is one that I would HIGHLY recommend against!! read more

Don't use them for anything else but oil change. Eight and a half hours for a front brake job for new pads and minor rotor finish. One lie after another. Mechanics with bad attitudes that leave deep embedded grease stains on paint by door release and I have serious doubt's about their mechanical ability. Lavelle was nice but that only goes so far after the fourth hour into a two hour basic front brake job which exceeded eight hours. It was one excuse after another. Invest your time more wisely. read more

I've trusted Midas since 2002 and I love this Midas because they know me by name! I am always taken care of when I get to Midas and Ryan Catubay is extremely helpfully! He needs to be promoted, but then again, I don't want him to leave! My car repairs exceeded my time expectations. They were complete 2 hours ahead of my estimated time. Thank you again gentlemen for a job well done!!!! read more

Make an appointment.. You won't have to wait as long as the walk-ins.. Always great service and always friendly.

Came for a oil change. I was greeted immediately by a employee then started goin over the options and packages they provide. Awsome service!!! Fast and clean job!!! Will be coming ban again thanks guys!!! By far the best team if guys I met read more

I was in a big hurry and in need of having my oil changed. Although I was skeptical that they would be "SpeeDee", I stopped into this Midas location as I needed an oil change and limited time to do it. I found a very friendly staff, a clean and comfortable reception area and they had me in and out in 40 minutes. I had time to have a snack before returning to work. Kudos! read more

I've previously been to this location and have had good experiences. In fact, I've posted an excellent review on them before. However, today I felt ripped off and had to share. They wanted to charge me $150 for changing a headlight. They said it was not a simple job. I went to another business (Evans Tires, love them!) and they had it done within minutes of me buying the part. No extra fees charged. Not sure what midas was trying to pull but I will not be going back anytime soon. read more

Unreliable. Over the phone they said they could do work straight away, but when I drove there 15 minutes later they said a mechanic had not turned up so the wait was now over 4 hours! I walked out and will not return. read more

It's stressful dealing with car problems but not with these guys. I first took my car to this midas about two years ago and I wont take my cars anywhere else now. They have great customer service, they explain everything in detail, its quick service and very thorough. If you can ask for Gary he is very knowledgeable and will help whatever way he can. Thanks again Gary. read more

Hey Ladies! Looking for an honest place to have your car serviced? I love Midas/Speedee Oil. Three times they have found something wrong with my car and told me it was still under warranty and that I should go to dealership and have it fixed. They saved me a lot of money. The guys are always friendly, fast and they don't try and sell me other services. I won't go anywhere else. Super honest!!!!! read more

Great service! We drove in with a screw in the tire. They were not able to repair and did not have a replacement in stock. They called other shops found a discount tire store with the right tire in stock. They put a temporary patch in then reinstalled the tire with a few extra pounds if air so we could make it safely to Discount Tire. All this for no charge. Great guys...Abraham and Richard we wonderful. And this was Memorial Day weekend. read more

This Midas location has not only gave me amazing costumer service once, but twice now - in this day and age that is unheard of! Upon first pulling in, my splash guard on the bottom of my car had come loose thanks to the potholes around San Diego and they fixed it for free, giving me free fasteners and repairing it quickly. This second time I came back for an oil change and yet again, great costumer service! There were construction crews outside messing with Midas' telephone/cable wires so when it came time to pay their credit card machine wasn't working - the gentlemen at the front told me I could leave and we could settle up later given the inconvenience; he doesn't know me from Adam and I could've totally left them high and dry. Being shocked by this kind of old fashion attitude, I ran to the nearest cash machine right away and came back to pay. I'm going to continue coming back to this place for whatever my car needs and they offer - all should go, you won't be disappointed! read more

This place is awful!!! Very DISHONEST. I stopped in to get a simple oil change and after waiting 2 1/2 hours (!) I was told that my car was leaking oil, so they couldn't change it for me - UNLESS, I paid them an outrageous amount of money to have them fix a bunch of made-up crap they claimed was wrong with my car. I am a young female and I encounter this all the time at auto shops, but these guys take the cake. What a bunch of scam artist hacks! I may be female, but I know a thing or two about cars. Stay FAR away from this place. Seriously. After wasting 2 1/2 hours here, I drove to the place across the street and had no problem. read more

I had an excellent experience with Lavelle at Midas Auto Service. I utilized Midas for a free estimate of my 2005 Volkswagen and was offered a quote after the inspection. After calling other dealerships and auto services in the area, Lavelle certainly offered me the best price and was the only auto service to offer me a student discount. I am extremely satisfied with the Lavelle's customer service and the fixes made on my car. Lavelle was very accommodating and ensured that I understood the necessary fixes being made on my car. I will definitely utilized Midas for any future needs for my car. read more

About a year ago, I took my truck in after an accident and Abraham gave me incredible customer service. They offer substantial student discounts FYI!! I came back yesterday to get a new battery and Richard gave me incredibly in-depth advice about my truck. He walked me underneath my truck and explained to me how everything worked and what I could do to keep it running smoothly. He even offered to teach me how to change my oil in case I didn't know. 10/10 service for a fair price. I'm switching to Midas. read more

Richard is awesome! My mom and I were visiting San Diego for the weekend and my car was having some issues and Richard fixed it right away!

I had a flat tire and these guys were so helpful, honest and fair it was refreshing. Richard is awesome and I appreciated all the help! Highly recommended. read more

OK - so today I was taking my brother to the airport. Was getting off the 8 to go south on the 5 when my car beeped and 'tire malfunction' appeared in the dashboard. I watched the air pressure going down and decided best to go straight to try and find a good place to pull over. Lucky for me the Midas/SpeeDee oil change shop was just a block or two away. Pulled in - they were super nice from the start. Checked my tire, suggested I call the place where I bought the tire to check if I had road hazard coverage (they could have not mentioned that and I would have replaced the tires right then and there). Then put the spare on for me - all in a matter of 10 minutes or so. Couldn't have had a better experience. Highly recommended! read more

Recommend this place to someone you hate!! I had been a customer across the street from MIDAS. that other place neglected to put in a gasket when they did an oil change so when I needed a tire rotation and oil change i saw MIDAS had a sign that said oil Change and Tire rotation for $24.99. it was like a sign from heaven. So I go in and sign a work order for my oil change and tire rotation. Well the car i brought in is a fleet vehicle from my employer. I came in at about 10:30 and was told it would take 45 minutes. at about 11:40 I ask one of the staff members what's the status of my vehicle. he said he was gonna check. Well I talk to "Chris" who just tells me he called GSA (the manager for paying for fleet expenses) and he got a bunch of other work approved -INCLUDING TIRES!!! Now I am doing this during my workday 45 minutes is already eating into my duties and I have other things scheduled to do. I point out to him that he never had me the courtesy of discussing it with me. He looks at me blankly like he really doesn't understand why I am annoyed. I explained I am the A-hole that brought the vehicle in for an oil change. I have been in the waiting area this whole time and at no moment did I approve additional work or was even given a heads up it would be a longer wait. he just said he didn't know I was there. my cell phone was on the work order so why didn't he call? He figured the guy won't say anything. I'll screw the agency for all I can and make a sweet commission I was pissed off enough that I had them take the new tires off the wheel and mount the old tires back on. if I get new tires it won't be with these jerks. All the while that I am back briefing Chris on how he was trying to be sleek and turn an oil change into the sale of the day there is a more senior manager there who didn't say a damn thing. I am pretty sure this is standard operating procedure for them. Something else. Remember I came in and signed for the $24.99 oil change? Well that's the oil change that I got. But I got charged $34.99 and no tire rotation. They said they couldn't do it if the tires are worn... Notice the pattern of not doing the rotation? In the same invoice where Chris says "customer became upset when work was not completed on estimated time frame" he later writes that "all work was completed on original estimated time". Oh and since they never mounted the wheels back on the car with the new tires, they never did the alignment either which was one of the add one unauthorized services. But according to Chris they had already done all the work, including all the added work in the original estimated time -the 45 minute oil change. I came in at 10:30AM and left at 12:45PM. This place blows read more

Abraham and staff were great. Very respectful and honest.

My experience at Midas today was unbelievably awesome! The manager Lavelle Sheppard, along with his staff, were very informative and helpful in making my disruptive morning car troubles easier to deal with. Thank you so much...and I will be back! read more

Abraham and all the guys at this location of Midas are everything above and beyond helpful. They're honest and get you the best possible price. Thanks ! read more

I came in for an oil change and told them I was smelling a burning smell from my brakes. The man who helped me was very kind and said they would take a look and also take a look at my alignment. The oil change was very quick and they called me with a status about my brakes and alignment. They gave me a discount on my alignment because I am a student and due to the fact that my car has an issue with the sway arm, they were unable to align it 100% so he didn't charge me for the alignment! I was ecstatic! Everyone there was friendly and the service was quick. They were very helpful and honest. They told me about the sway bar issue and said I could replace the part, but the mechanic said he could shim it instead which would save me a couple hundred dollars. I will be returning for future car work. read more

Gave me bad information about the condition of my vehicle more than once. Take your car to a "real mechanic". Beware of this place.

The worst!!! If you value your hard earned dollar I wouldn't come here. Brakes just started running yesterday, took my wife's car in today an they said they couldn't turn the rotors? It went from $139 to $500 for front brakes only on a Kia Soul read more

Called to make an appointment and was referred to website. Made appt on website and was supposed to receive a call back within 30 minutes. After 4.5 hours I called them and was given some lame reason why no one called me. That aside, I made an appt. When I went in for appt I was told they are not allowed to put regular oil in my vehicle- it had to be synthetic oil per manufacturers recommendation cost $70+. Waste of my time...went to Firestone and got oil changed for $35 and they gave me free tire rotation. Will never go to Midas. read more

Love this Midas Shop in particular!!!! Two things that are important to me: Price and Honesty! I used this shop before on my own vehicles; this particular day, one of my close friends asked if I could have the brakes on his Mercedes Benz repaired because his wife twice brought the same Benz to a Midas Shop on Miramar Road. I spoke briefly to the Manager at the Miramar Road Shop but because of a poor attitude brought the Benz to this Midas Shop. I spoke to Gary the Manager, at this shop, showed him the receipt(s) from the other shop - Gary shook his head and told me to return at 3:00 p.m., same day Benz brakes repaired, NO CHARGE! On another occasion, he showed my why my Lexus 460L Sedan did not need repair - Gary and his crew are great!!!!!! Save money and get and honest opinion, go see Gary at Midas in Point Loma. Phil read more

came in today to get a oil change an received excellent service from Fermin. he recommended me to replace major issues in my vehicle that i did not see. Fermin went out of his way to call around for a radiator for my 1986 cutlass supreme. all in all great customer service, on point with changing the oil an friendly staff. coming back soon to get my radiator replaced. read more

Went earlier today for oil change, Abraham and Juan were the two who helped me and was very helpful and not pushy on paying extra on things I didn't need for my car; unlike other places who are only after your money. I had a great experience and definitely found my place for service for my car. I found out about this place awhile ago when my daughter needed work done on her tires and loved their great customer service and honesty. I would recommend this Midas location! read more

I have a funny sound coming from my brakes. Midas did pads and rotors 4 years back. Driving in town for a while the front wheels seemed hot to me. So I make an appointment to bring the car in for a brake inspection. I get there at noon the scheduled time. Nobody else is there. Not one customer. Jon calls over the PA "12 o'clock brake inspection". I ask him how long it will take. He says 30 to 45 minutes. So I go have a bite to eat, come back and there is my car in the same spot I parked it in. Meanwhile 2 other cars are on the racks. So what gives? Jon says, "I didn't know your car wasn't done". What is he managing a Wal-Mart? The office is like about 10 feet by 10 feet with 2 walls totally windows. Look out the front, there's my car, the only one in the lot. Look out the side, there's the mechanics area with the racks. I say, how could you not know? There were no other customers here when I arrived. He says, "those cars have been on the racks for 2 hours." Maybe in his world but not in the real one. I expect to be lied to. But absolutely hate it when somebody insults my intelligence. Really poor management. A friendly, charming but clueless guy doesn't make it. I'd rather deal with some nasty sullen dude who can manage the place properly and get the job done. Jon says, "do you want to reschedule?" Yeah, in your dreams. read more
