When my boyfriend and I moved we were elated to find a Midas not 10 minutes away in the event we needed our cars repaired. However, I've come to find out that it is better to just drive by this Midas than patron them. Let me start by saying I know there are a decent amount of people who can be disgruntled by spending money on their cars. However, when I spend in the upper hundreds early thousands for a repair I'd like to at least feel like I'm more than just a paycheck with legs to the people I deal with and give my money to. The first annoyance was when they called with a quote for the work I was getting done on a timing belt replacement and tried to charge me for an oil change. I had just been in (to their establishment) a week before for one . The gentleman said 'Oh well we usually check the sticker...' apparently they didn't bother to do that before calling me or creating a quote, they attempted to list it to see if I would notice. I won't blame them for the motor mount that broke or the original scheduling my appointment on a holiday (I probably should have known better but who am I to know if you keep your business open on holidays?) because everyone makes mistakes. However, when I called Thursday to see about picking up my car (after nobody called ) I was told I was not allowed to pick it up because the acct was not paid for. This is AFTER I gave them all of my credit card information not 24 hours prior. Had they bothered to once again look in the file they would have seen this. Finally, adding insult to injury they also charged me for a coolant flush and half-way up 202, in the middle of rush hour the next morning, my car started smoking. After pulling over and a kind gentleman helping me, we figured out the problem. My coolant reserve to the left of my engine was bone dry and I am now getting a run around from the employees. Apparently both the gentleman I spoke to not 2 days before, the two head men at the shop, no longer work there and apparently everything else can be explained away to me being irrational or them 'not being able to see it'. Three people I have already spoken to have told me that it does not matter and that container should have coolant in it. This tells me not only did they mess up but they are attempting to cover it! It all seems very shifty to me. If you want feel like you're appreciated as a customer and know that your car will come out better than it did going in (and that the mechanics won't cover their tracks IF they mess up) save yourself the time and don't bother with this Midas. read more
