I brought my car in for an oil change and specifically asked for the total cost in advance. I was quoted $109 plus tax. However, after the service was completed, I was charged $142 due to additional fees for the oil filter and other items that were not disclosed upfront. This lack of transparency is disappointing. I recommend confirming a complete, itemized price before proceeding with service. read more

SpeeDee-Midas - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Jose, California

They said my transmission fluid needed to be flushed and that my front and rear brake pads needed to be replaced. When I declined the service the cashier told me "be careful" in an ominous tone. I took the car to a "real" mechanic with good reviews. He said the transmission fluid was clean and didn't need to be flushed. He also said that only the front brake pads needed to be replaced, not the back one. I saved hundreds of dollars by declining their recommendations and going to a real mechanic. read more

I was convinced that both my high beam and low beam headlights needed replacing on my Mazda 3, so I started visiting a few places. After a few dead ends, I finally landed at Speedee-Midas--and I'm so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, the service was exceptional. Sharad, one of the owners, was super friendly and took the time to explain that they'd need to run a diagnostic test to pinpoint the exact issue. I appreciated how clear and transparent he was throughout the process. They called after a couple of hours, and to my surprise, they not only fixed my headlights but also repaired my bumper, sparing me a trip to a body shop and saving me from what could've been a hefty repair bill. It was such a pleasant experience, and I can't thank them enough for the excellent service and warm, welcoming vibe. I'll definitely be back for any future car needs! Highly recommend! read more

Super awesome place with super awesome people! I only paid 35$ for an oil change (discount coupon) and they even vacuumed my car. Very pleasant experience with the workers including the sweet lady who rung me up, would definitely recommend this place read more

I took my car in after my engine misfired on the freeway. AJ had his guys put in new spark plugs, a head valve gasket, a fresh transmission ignition coil, & flushed out the transmission fluid. My car feels 10x better. Thanks again guys for the great work. Definitely recommend this shop for any maintenance needed on your vehicle. read more

I went on October 13. They didn't tighten the drain plug properly. Honda leaked oil, needed tow to my house. Upon inspection this morning. The plug fell right off, when the bottom tray was removed. The engine is ruined. Will speak to owner, and may pursue legal action- if they do not fix or replace the engine. read more

I was happy with Speedee oil change services till I had the poor and rude customer service in this store. I came here on 11/2/23 and changed the headlights. After two months, the lights stopped working, so i had to come to this store and ask if i can get help and learn the reason. First of all, the employee (manager) asked me what's going on. I told him about the issue and asked if I'm going to be charged. He said "yes you will do" without even giving me any explanation why this is happening since i got the same light fixed two months ago and the indian manager told me it will last 2 years. And he assured me about the headlights. I saw other comments also saying their headlights stopped working after short time they came. I think the negative reviews tell about this store and their fake service. They're SCAM. Don't waste your money unless you want to come back and ask help for the poor service they deliver to you. And, they won't take any responsibility for anything they served. Stay away from this store... there are tons of stores you can find with more affordable options and good customer service. Not like this one where they don't bother to address your concerns and don't care about you. They only care about the money they steal from customers. read more

SpeeDee-Midas - Bill for the heads light - Smog Check Stations Near Me - San Jose, California

Very great service from technicians and management ! Usually they have a coupon available to use which makes affordable

Vehicle was taken here for a routine oil change in August of 2024. Technician tried to upsell my son a bunch of unneeded service. Technician got annoyed my son didn't do the additional work. Lo and behold my son's next oil change at a different location determined the oil pan plug was completely stripped. 100% positive this location stripped the oil pan with the plug since we had zero issues before. I'll be following up this review with a complaint to the BAR. Do not get work done here. My car is currently in another shop to have a new oil pan put in as there's no way to repair the striped oil pan plug. $400 later and a new oil pan was put in. Also in checking google reviews other customers have had similar problems with their oil changes. read more

Negative one star . Customer service was trash . Receptionist , asian lady , was rude and not helpful at all while asking simple questions . Kept rolling her eyes for no reason , like she hated her job or didn't wana be there . Male centered . The guys there kept tryna tell me to get this and that done or the car would be bad to drive . Honestly, don't recommend coming here , unless you tryna get charged or things done that's not necessary .. -1/10 ! read more

Your car is one of the most important thing in our lives. When it starts having problems or issues finding the right place to take it to is always a challenge. Besides taking it to the Dealership where it will cost MUCHO DINERO always good to have a back up place so open up the laptop or use your cell phone and start the search. We had to find a automotive repair close to the house and Yelped this place out. The Hyundai Sonata Dealership did not have any available appointments until November 21st. Almost a month away. We needed some professional help on these problems. The horn was not working on the steering wheel and the air bag light was on. My lady was really worried about these malfunctions of the car she drives in traffic everyday. So I called SpeeDee Midas and spoke to Andrew the Manager and when I told him what was wrong with our Hyundai he immediately knew what the problem was and told us to bring it in. We took it on a Friday morning 8am and they did a Diagnostic on it and they called us to let us know what the problem was and how much it would cost to fix it. So, we authorized the work, and our car was ready by noon time. The cost was not too bad and fit our budget. Andrew and his crew were on top of it and handled our problem right away. They were real Pros and gave us the parts and labor guarantee and made us feel safe again with our car. If I need any tires or oil changes or some major repairs on any car I know where we can take our cars to. Thanks Andrew and your techs for handling our Sonata made the wife happy again. read more

The people and this company provided great service in an emergency (flat tire) situation with quality and value. I appreciate them!

Called in early and spoke to the Indian person who told me the workers come in at 9:15 am. Everything sounded good until he told me the price was going to be $80.00 for my 2016 Toyota Prius. The only problem was I could go to a Star certified place closer to my home for only $49.00 including tax and lic. I went to Evergreen Smog on King Rd and it was done in 12 min. This place may be over charging for other repairs, do you research by comparing other repair shop before coming here. read more

If there were zero stars they would be getting it!!! My daughter brought her car here to get fixed for it over heating, they supposedly fixed it and of course took her money. Not too long after the car started over heating again, she took it back to them with her receipt and they tossed her keys back to her and told her they don't have time to look at it or fax it!!!!!!! She is a single Mom of 4 kids who needs her car and the money she paid she worked hard for!!! To get treated that way from a not so professional company is not ok!!!! Stay away from this place!!!!! Small claims court here we come!!!!!!! read more

I come to SpeeDee very often for my oil changes and general maintenance. My experience is always top notch and I truly couldn't have anything negative to say. I've always been greeted promptly and service options are easily readable and available. SpeeDee takes great care of my baby and I definitely opt'd to come here versus my dealership where the wait is long and I feel like I'm being overcharged. SpeeDee prices are moderate and always finished quickly. Need I say more. read more

Poor communication. I brought my car in to get the brake pads fixed don't December 22nd, and the guy who took a look at my vehicle was great. They said they'd have to keep my car until the next day and I thought "okay cool, I'll still get to see my family for Christmas." I waited until 1pm on December 23rd, and I didn't get a call. I tried calling a few times but I kept getting sent to voice mail... a buddy drove with me to see if we could pick up my car at 3pm, and they were closed! It's now December 24th, and they're still not picking up the phone. Like, I get it if a business wants to close for the holidays, but don't tell me "you can pick up your car tomorrow" and then be closed the next day! Just tell me you'll be closed so I can get my car fixed somewhere else and I can still see my family for Christmas! They didn't even have their holiday hours posted on the door, OR posted anywhere online. The place is just closed without giving any reason as they hold my car hostage. I don't even want to be mad about this! But I don't get to see my family this year, and then I'm going to have to pay them $700 for keeping me away from my family? Absolutely wild! But yeah. Make sure they're being truthful with you when they say your car will be ready the next day. They might just decide close without telling calling or emailing you. read more

Do yourself a favor , find a trusted mechanic . These shops will take you for something simple like an oil change or brake job . By "coincidence " your car will start having more issues when you get it back. They choose their victims ! Your $100 car job will turn into $3000 in repairs after being serviced by these bafoons. You've been warned . read more

Blame whoever answers the phone for this review. I called and was told I can get my car's oil and transmission fluid checked. Upon getting there and waiting an hour, I was told that I had to wait another 90min for the oil change but they can't do he transmission fluid change. Why tell me on the phone that you can if you don't have enough people to do anything. Then I was told to come on the weekdays, the days I work, so the people who work here have weekends off? read more

Went in with overheating car. Took 2 hours to diagnose, which I was glad I got ride home first. Was told my cam shaft was complete worn and wasn't turning my water pump which was almost new. (At least 3 years old when I bought car) They told me most of engine and timing chain needed to be removed to fix cam shaft. 15 hours of labor at least. $5000 quote. Car not worth that so I i said pass. Paid for diagnostic $140. Came home and my ex brought new water pump and wow...cam shaft great, and old water pump worn. Opposite of what they said. $5000 job was now about $150. I will never go there again. Would put -5 stars if I could. So disappointed. read more

See all

Took my car here for an oil change. I was up sold to a full synthetic that included a 17 point inspection $140. The next day I see oil underneath my car parking spot the oil plug or filter was probably loose when installed and is dripping oil and 3 weeks later my car battery died and I'm stuck in a parking lot because my car won't start. So much for 17 point inspection. But that is not all, my power seat is broken (will move back but cant move forward) told them not the move the seat and even put a post it note on the dash as a reminder. Well, the tech moved the seat and so my leg cant reach the clucth to drive it home. I wont be coming back. read more

One of the worst auto shop. Took my car for oil change, tire rotation and signal light replacement. When I got my car back, there was a weird noise. When I took the car back to the shop, they found low oil and they forgot to tight screw for the tires. None of screw was tight and tire was super loose, headlights stopped working too. Instead of apologizing, the manager was blaming the new person and said new guy is idiot. That Indian manager should be ashamed of himself . He never apologized and tried to avoid eye contact and tried to stay away. When I explained him that this is serious hazard and can lead to accident, he tried to offer me $15 coupon for next service and didn't even apologize . That dump person should know he is a manger and should held responsibility. When I asked him to give me his corporate number so I can complaint, he gave me MIDAS phone number and as per Midas, they are brakes company and no relation to speedie oil change. Both are $hity dumb A$$$. That donkey should know they send free coupon to ppl via mail . Worst customer service ever. read more

****SCAM ALERT**** This place rips people off. I took multiple cars there for repairs and the cars come out worse then when I brought them in. Please do not waste your time and money with this shop. We all have things going on in our lives, and I get that cars will have problems but this is not the place to take it to. They will take as much money as they can and do the bare minimum to fix your car. read more

This place was very unwelcoming. First of, I called to schedule an appointment and she placed one for me. She added that they were not very busy due to the pandemic. I went in at the time I scheduled- the receptionist was there, I waited patiently as she was on the phone. The receptionist then shouted across the counter area then pointed me to go outside. I waited to get a diagnostic test and the gentleman-at first glance reviewed my services that I needed, and I guess felt that it would be too tough so he proceeded to almost seem as if he did not want to complete any services for me. He said I should go and check with other repair shops because this process that I needed will take up too much time... I said that I would have no problem with the wait, but he continued to explain why they couldn't service my car. Said things such as, "we are full" "we don't have much space and your car will need to be outdoors..." etc. I am in disbelief that A car servicing company would turn away a client just because they found that it would be tough he did not even give me the chance to do the diagnostic test. He made many excuses and it's saddening to know that they truly didn't put much thought and care towards making a potential customer happy. read more

Brought my car in for an oil change April 2022, 2 weeks later my engine broke down and my car is not drivable. I towed it back in to Speedee Oil, they concluded my car had no oil, and will not own up to the repair. My car has been sitting in my driveway since April 2022, I have since taken Speedee Oil to small claims court with the Superior Court. In addition, i have been coming to this place since 2016, only for oil changes. In 2019 after a oil change, the EXACT same thing happened, my engine broke down and my car was not drivable. I towed it back to Speedee Oil, and they owned up to the no oil investigation and swapped the engine, at no cost to me. Due to them owning up to the issue, I kept going back to them. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. This is now twice, and this time, they are shooing me away like a dog. The Indian owners are nothing close to respectful, they do not know how to simply speak to people, let alone a customer. (As you can confirm from other Yelp reviews) All my paper work is in order and I have already filed with the Better Business Bureau on this place. Speedee Oil did not respond to the BBB complaint within the time frame given to them, that also was not the 1st complaint filed on them with the BBB. I hope this is enough to discourage people from going to this place, yet another mechanic shop giving a bad name for the rest. An honest mechanic can not be found at this place. Even sadder, an honest shop owner can not be found at this place. What will corporate do other than read my email? read more

My car was in a bad shape. The check engine light came on and the car was bottoming out if I drove too fast on the highway. I also use it for commute everyday so having it in the garage for too long was not an option for me. Luckily, Andrew was amazing with helping me out here. He figured out what the problem was (it was the fuel injector), fixed it, and replaced the shocks, all in one day! He also gave me a very good deal and was a great guy to talk to. He was patient with my inquiries and really helped me schedule everything to my convenience. I will definitely be sticking to Andrew and his team in the future. read more

Filipino lady at the front desk is the best!! I called in advance for a smog check and she gave me very clear answers to all my questions. When I got there she told me about their discount special for smog and immediately saved me money. Work was done in about 30 minutes. Good first impression, keep it up guys...and give the lady in front a raise read more

Needed a patch for a tire. Owner wanted me to buy a new tire instead and charged me 200$ more for what i paid for my tire. He claimed i had no more tread on my tires meanwhile the tire had less than 3000 miles on it. Take your business somewhere else. I do not recommend this place. read more

*****I FELT SCAMMED***** I took my car in for a regular oil change. They told me My Camry had a major oil leak which IT DID NOT! I took it to my reputable mechanic afterwards and he confirmed, NO LEAKS! I now have oil spots on my driveway AFTER they changed the oil due to their extremely sloppy oil change. I never had an oil spot on my newer driveway before. I'm an older woman, and I felt like I was being scammed. They definitely gave me misinformation and suggested I have all the fluids exchanged ($470). I will NOT go back to this place! read more

Common service I requested repairing old battery cable terminals and my engine couldnt start. I paid out of pocket for towing im fine with tow. I wanted a quote before beginning towing. Spoke to two employees began shop service then waited through 70mins , to be then up-sold to not have it done, but i called before to make sure cables were in stock. Then was told they dont have anything product. Asked me to pay 600+ redo alternator when average price is 400. Ass backwards extra 200$ cash. Horrible ethics, lowkey discriminatory. How they're selective with customer privilege, how they're still afloat baffles me. read more

Andrew helped me out immensely. He was honest and very professional. They fixed my check engine light unlike other mechanics at other shops I have been to. All I ask for with car troubles is honesty, hard to find that in SJ. I definitely recommend coming here! read more

BIG shout out to Dave (and his partner in the pit) ;) who helped me remove a plastic bag that had became lodged in my exhaust pipe. You guys are the greatest. Thank you so much for your time. I truly appreciate you. read more

DON'T GO HERE!!!! Completely incompetent and have no consideration for other people's time. I got a new tire here and while the changed it, they broke the sensor. They didn't have the sensor in stock, so they said they would order it and fix it for me in a few days. I come back a week later. They ask if I can come back the next day, so I come back the next day. Now, this is my third time there dealing with a problem they created. They had me wait for an hour only to tell me the mechanic has the day off and if I can come back the next day. I have a full time job. I don't have time to keep coming back. If you value your time and sanity, NEVER GO HERE!! read more

I always come here. Been going since I was 18 and I'm 30 now. They are all respectful and let me know of any problems my car may have. I've known most of the workers there for a while, so they take good care of my car and I. Highly recommended. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!! Wish I would've looked at yelp before bringing my daughters van here for an oil leak! Apparently the leak was coming from my sons car and not the van I brought here for a steam cleaning/dye insert, ended up paying $191 at the time I was told I could use the cleaning fee towards services when finding out there wasn't a leak coming from the van I asked to use my cleaning fee towards an oil change but was told after the fact that the fee charge could ONLY be used towards the oil leak and not an oil change which makes no sense!! plz find a more honest place to take ur car! read more

i always come here for oil change and people are very nice they removed my skid plate for free and didn't even hesitate.

Have come here for years to have all my cars serviced . Great professional service and rates are very reasonable.

I have been taking my car to this location since I moved to San Jose and have had good experience ever since. Today, I took my car in for O2 sensor replacement and during check in, Andrew noticed the scratches on the side of my vehicle. He said it can easily be fixed with spray paint and I told him that I have it with me, I just don't know how to do it and don't want to mess it up. Long story short, Andrew took care of it at no cost and my vehicle looked great after! It feels good to know that there are still good people in this world :) thanks Andrew for being awesome! Will come back to this location anytime! read more

I am happy to read these reviews and watching the company reply. Speedees has always helped me maintain my car's needs. I can't help but be happy how fortunate they have a vehicle to drop me and my husband home. The representative is always kind and I am always happy to see her! The mechanics' communication is very well by considering they work manually on cars. Comparing with other mechanics that I use to go to.. *They dont refuse my service every time I visit *They communicate quick pertaining details. *They look like they enjoy working I appreciate this location; keep up the good work! read more

I came in for an oil change (90k) and was initially greeted and assisted by Mr. Patel the Franshise Owner and made his suggestions based on my vehicle's history there at the shop in which he gave me a copy of to have naturally for my personal records as well. We discussed and agreed upon the work i would have done now (oil and air filters changed)and in the near future (trans and power steering fluid,performance upgrades) David was the auto mechanic/technition that followed up wth the post vehicle inspection and gave me a respectable run down on what was done today, as well as what he suggests be done next and how soon relative to safety and convenience of drive. As well as rapport over the vehicle and what to research myself in the meantime. I complimented both David and Mr. Patel on their performances on this grueling summer afternoon and advised them I would be continuing my automotive endeavors here based on their efforts and efficiency today. read more

I went in on a Sunday morning thinking ok, it's going to be busy, so I better plan on waiting there for a bit. Needless to say, it wasn't busy and the guy said it would be about 30 mins. Cool, I'll wait. I was actually in and out in about 30 mins. It was quick. But they didn't go over anything with the car with me. As soon as the car was done, I paid for it and was on my way. Weird, because normally, the service techs talk to you about the car and everything and I didn't get any news back. I had to read the paperwork myself and see if there were any issues. While waiting, I was looking through the website to see if they honor coupons from other locations. The cashier wasn't sure, so she asked the owner, PJ, and when he asked me what coupon and what location, I said, "the other Monterey Rd. location and it's for 19.99" he looked at me like I was stupid and said, "Oh no, I can't go that low, you should've waited to get the oil change there. But I can give you the oil change for 29.99 instead as that's the deal I have going on here." I was taken back by his comment because it was rude and honestly, as a franchise owner, he could've been more nice about it. There was no need for extra remarks. I wouldn't normally go there, but I was in need of an oil change badly. I most likely won't be going there anymore, I also feel bad for the employees, seems like a crummy boss to be working under. Seems like they don't care about their customers. read more
