Only giving one star because I'm forced to pick one as a minimum. This Midas store is a prime example of a chain store rip-off using a large Franchise name, arrogantly and poorly managed and lacking any customer service/integrity.
Michael is the disgraceful owner/manager of this location. He clearly has no customer service skills and no sense of customer satisfaction. He even stated, when we had an issue and said we would put a complaint forward to Midas HQ, to go ahead, we are a franchise and they won't do anything. Obviously this wasn't his first complaint/customer issue and clearly doesn't care about customer satisfaction or doing what is right. Karma, believe in it Michael. You and your business will tank one day with your business practices. You can't cheat forever.
After having an in depth, 20 minute long conversation with Justin (the Tech) about what we wanted done on our truck, talking about options available and then being told they can do what we specifically wanted done, we decided to move forward with the job at Midas. What a mistake......When we went to pick up the vehicle, we saw that the job was exactly what WE DIDN'T want and spent 20 minutes earlier that day discussing. When Justin was questioned as to why he did exactly the opposite of what we discussed/asked, he said "I thought I was doing you a favor and saving you some money". This clearly made no sense after having a in-depth conversation earlier in the day about the specifics and what we did not want on the truck. We were basically held hostage to pay for the service to get our keys back. We then tried to talk with the manager (Michael) but he was not "available". The next day we called to discuss the issue and what Justin had done. Michael did nothing but make excuse after excuse for his employee. He was arrogant and insisted basically even though the job they did was NOT what we asked for (he admitted that part - go figure?) he insisted it was better than what we wanted (his opinion). Michael had no consideration for what the customer asked for and what his shop delivered. It was basically like taking your car to get painted and asking for, picking out and selecting a beautiful red color and when you pick up your vehicle it is is blue! Then the manager saying look how great it looks, what a great, quality job we did and it saved you money.......the point being......blue was not what was ordered!
This shopcould careless about the customer, from the Manager/Owner all the way down to each employee. Read the rest of the reviews, they are a chain store with less than par customer service skills, less than adequate technical skills and obviously have ruined many vehicles along the way. The reason Michael probably has this business is because he can just pay a royalty/franchise fee to Midas and hope the coupons put out will bring him business. He obviously would never make it as a real "auto shop" owner on his own without a national "paid for" name. He is one of those ones that would rip off your grandma if he has the chance, let alone your teenage driver or anyone on the street that just needs good car service. He's the type you read about and see on those special ripoff shows on TV! What a shame! read more
