OLIVET PARENT REVIEW…read more I'm a skeptic by nature. When it comes to how I view mechanic shops, I always assume they are crooks and liars until they prove otherwise. WOW! This Midas location proved otherwise 10 times over! We had a VERY intermittent problem with our A/C and we were 8 hours from home for a visit to Olivet. Jim (owner) and his team didn't brush the problem off just because they couldn't reproduce it. They dug in and kept going until they thought they had found the issue. We drove the car that evening and the intermittent problem happened again. I knew that when a problem is that sporadic that it is very difficult for a mechanic to diagnose, so I was not upset with them, but I expected for them to be frustrated to see me back the next morning. There was no frustrated, but a smiling, warm welcome and immediate empathy with me that the problem was not resolved. (AJ at the front desk is simply amazing!) They spent the day digging in again and by the end of the day were confident they had figured out the problem -- and they had! On top of it all, they could have charged me for a lot of labor for those two days of work, but Jim was so kind and I walked out having paid much less than would have been reasonable. My experience here was not simply based on the service rendered, but the interactions with the owner and team convinced me that I had a shop that were dedicated to honesty and fairness; wanting to build relationships, not grab dishonest bucks. My daughter will be beginning her freshman year at Olivet this Fall and this is where she will be taking her vehicle for maintenance and service. Thank you, Jim, AJ and the Midas crew!

I was a regular customer for oil changes since they remodeled their shop and made an actual waiting…read morearea for customers. I went in for my usual oil change recently. The price of the oil change was reasonably priced since they were having a sale. After this procedure I was informed that my day time running light was out ( I was aware) they offered to replace it, I asked how much, I was told since a difficult process to replace the bulb it would be $100. I reluctantly decided to have it replaced. After it was done ( didn't take too long) my car was ready. The light bulb was $100 but the labor was more than the light bulb! I was not told about the labor charge, because I was led to believe the whole thing was "$100 . What a dishonest practice! I didn't notice a price chart nor did I look, since I trusted them. Never again! How do you people sleep at night, doing this to your customers? I will not be returning to your shop, for anything again.

There was zero communication during the day, and the sudden price jump felt completely unjustified. To top it off, I brought my car to another shop the very next day. They had it done ASAP with zero issues--and the total cost was only $169. That says a lot. Completely disappointed in the lack of transparency, professionalism, and honesty. I won't be back and can't recommend them to anyone.

Just to find after a few hours of tear down. There wasn't anything wrong with the part in question. So I wasted money on a diagnostic fee and the parts they claimed were faulty.. just find out several hundred dollars later the part was fine. There has to a lil play in the front hubs so the 4x4 can correctly engage. And they wouldn't budge on the price to do what i originally asked to have done on my 2500. So needless to say they will no longer be working on any more of my vehicles And the lady that answered the phone seems to enjoy talking down to their customers even when they are very knowledgeable about the issues they are having. Sadly I have seen this happen a few times at the Bourbonnais location as well as her talking down to me. Not really something I like to see and deal with when I'm already stressed about getting my truck serviced Most the time I will do my own repairs seeing I am a gear head and am extremely knowledgeable about the repairs I'm seeking. Just upsetting to have to deal with that kind of rudeness when I'm already stressing about the repairs. Maybe it's time to hire someone that is nicer to run the counter that will not talk down and run off the customer. So long story short. I will no longer be a patron to this shop.

You lied, or to say the least, you were bluffing, exaggerating or misleading me. To change the power steering fluid, you need to overhaul the entire power steering system? All you needed to do was to TOP IT UP when you do the regular oil change. I will still keep my first review from last year as following: "Let me help them get started on yelp. We ran into this place on its 'secret' customer appreciation day. yes, we got free hot dog and pop. Beside that, the young representative gave me a tour underneath the car and for the first time in my life, I was shown by a mechanic where the oil filter is actually located and was explained to what a canister oil filter is. He offered to do this. See how this small kind of gesture made a difference! Great customer experience."

This was supposed to be a pleasant surprise- one less thing on the to-do list). After they pulled my vehicle in the guy came in and asked me what kind of oil I wanted. I told him I did not want synthetic and after he told me Mobil 1 is the most expensive, I told him I didn't want that. Then I went to pay...$82.61. I nearly fainted. When I asked 'why' the kid says "that Mobil 1 is terribly expensive". I looked at the receipt and they put synthetic Mobil 1 in. That's everything I asked them NOT to use! Naturally there's no manager to speak with. I called another local Grease Spot and that manager tried to tell me synthetic is required. I replied "no, it isn't" then he proceeded to tell me "well at least semi-synthetic" (I have since spoken with GM and while semi-synthetic is recommended, it is not required). The manager of the place I went to is supposed to call me tomorrow. We'll see if that happens. Now I understand why my fiance didn't want me taking it anywhere.
