Disgrace!
I took my car to 2701 Millwood Ave, Columbia, SC 29205.
The store manager, Richard, told me to leave the car with them so they could figure out where the leak was coming from, which I did.
I got the car back two days later with an unrelated problem that had never happened before: a clicking sound from the left side of the hood.
I let them work on it, even though that problem was probably caused by them. After taking the car back a second time, I noticed nothing had changed about the oil leak, so I took it back again. All I got was, "Oh, we fixed what we could, but you have more engine problems that we are not equipped to fix. Take it somewhere else."
just about a month later, I already have a low engine oil warning and engine check light on. I'm nearly $3K in debt, and my car has new problems. I don't know how much more I'm going to have to spend to fix it.
Also, Richard, the store manager, is extremely rude—so much so that he hung up on me.

Midas in Avon IN charges for diagnostics $120 plus shop fees
Midas in Avon, IN charges for a diagnostic. Not a minimal either. $120 plus $5 for shop supplies. I was trying to figure out what was throwing an EVAP code and I knew it was not the gas cap. I thought the purge valve, but wanted to confirm. They told me both the purge the vent solenoid were BOTH bad. They did not diagnose it, they just threw the only 2 parts left on the quote for a paltry $720. Took it to Belle Tire and they said it was the purge and to fix it was $244, FOR FREE. Midas is a joke and I will never go back.

Had an oil change
Had an oil change. A few hours later my oil pressure light came on took it back to them. They charge me for a diagnosis, then told me it my oil pump. Got a 2nd opinion, it was my oil filter, it wasn't put on well. Brought it to there attention, they told me everything was put on right and some folish story. 1604 Dipont hwu in new castle de

OPGEPAST OPLICHTERSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OPGEPAST OPLICHTERSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soms moet je doen alsof je achterlijk bent of niet door hebt wat er gebeurd, om te weten dat je belazerd word.
Ik heb gebeld met de vraag wat het kost om mijn auto uit te lezen, er word geantwoord 45 euro. Mijn volgende vraag, wanneer zou ik langs kunnen komen. Dat kan morgen al.
Ga ik vandaag langs, en mijn auto word uitgelezen. Die jongen die mijn auto heeft uitgelezen, die geeft aan dat er 7 meldingen worden gegeven bij de motor. Hij geeft aan dat het te maken heeft met mijn uitlaat, en gaf aan iets met een sensor.
Ik vroeg kost vervangen van een sensor duur, hij geeft aan in de meeste gevallen wel. Maar wat is er precies aan de hand met de auto, ik geef aan dat het soms afslaat bij het afremmen bij een stoplicht als ik met een hoge snelheid reed.
Hij vroeg mij als ik onlangs iets gedaan had aan de auto, ik zei ja mijn bougies vervangen en daarna pas problemen met mijn auto voorheen niet.
Nu sta ik voor zijn baas, en die vraagt als ik de vorige lezing heb van die garage en ik zeg nee. Me auto was niet uitgelezen, ik heb gewoon de bougies vervangen.
Hij zegt ja dan gaat hij helemaal opnieuw moeten starten want hij heeft dat nodig om precies te zien blablabla, dus we gaan opnieuw de bougies moeten vervangen en de bobine ook want die zal waarschijnlijk beschadigd zijn toen.
Dat de rapport wat ze hebben van het uitlezen geeft niet aan wat het probleem precies is of waar het precies zit, het is slechts een indicatie. Dus we gaan als eerst beginnen met dat vervangen dat is het eerste dat we moeten doen, en daarna zien we verder.
Alsof er op me voorhoofd staat ezel, rapport geeft precies en duidelijk aan waar het probleem zit. Maar deze idioot dacht een domme vrouw die geen verstand heeft, dus ik ga maar misbruik maken.
Is ook mijn fout dat die id!oot mij bijna gepakt heeft, want ik moest gewoon zeggen dat ik niets heb gedaan aan mijn auto en het niet weet.
En ook uitlezen was 45 euro, maar ik heb 52,79 moeten betalen. En op de factuur staat rekeneenheid uitlaat, lijkt me heel wat anders dan auto uitlezen.
Een gewaarschuwd mens telt voor 2, laat je niet belazeren. Ik had echt gedacht dat Midas beter was dan die oplichter garages, maar ze horen er precies bij.

I went the universal city tx location…
I went the universal city tx location for a grinding noise when coming to a stop. The shop diagnosis the car and found issues like leaking axels, struts leaking, oil leak, transmission leak. Thank you for point out those issues with the inspection. Although it did not diagnosis my initial concern of grinding when coming to a stop. I went to my normal mechanic the next day and found out the upper, lower control arms sway bars were bad and not diagnosis. Midas offered to resurface the rotors at cost to me to solve the grinding problem. I explained the brakes (rotors and pads)were just replaced so no need to resurface. After going to my normal mechanic they showed me the brakes were fine and no oil leak. They did show me how bad the upper, lower control arms sway bars and needed replacing. Explained this was the cause for the noise when coming to a stop. thank you for point out the strut issue they were under warrant.
Midas did not live up to my expectations. I would really think twice before going here. There are lots of other mechanics in the area who give honest assessments of issues and concerns. I would give 0 stars if that was an option

BE AWARE
MIDAS WEST VANCOUVER
BE AWARE. These guys WILL OVERCHARGE YOU. And they overlooked duties in car servicing protocol.
I took my car for a standard service and to take a look at a warning light. I came away with a totally flat battery (couldnt even start the car in the forecourt and the warning light not dealt with). To top it all they charged me $500 for a $375 retail price Battery. They also charged me 30% more than I was quoted over the phone for my service and couldn't explain it other than to say it was a receptionist who misquoted me.
Mike tried to BS me that he had placed a better battery, but his product code which he had cleverly disguised so clients can not cross check the price, aligned exactly with what he had fitted. I called him on it and of course he went silent on me. No responses whatsoever. To miss a flat battery, makes me wonder what else wasn't completed in this car service.
When lining up to pay for the car on collection, both clients in front of me were complaining of overcharges against quotes already issued. This seems to be quite a common issue with MIDAS WEST VANCOUVER. This is the last time my family will use MIDAS. We are not idiots MIKE. Don't hide behind your email. When you get called out on your BS, be a businessman, and answer your clients. Try and win them back. All you have done here for the sake of scraping an extra $200 out of me is loose our family custom and raise awareness to anyone reading this very fair and truthful statement NOT TO USE MIDAS WEST VANCOUVER. You failed on every count Mike. PS: Tony is a good guy - he must be embarrassed to work for you.

My wife took our Honda Ridgeline in for…
My wife took our Honda Ridgeline in for a simple oil change on February 8th 2025 at the Vacaville California location on East Monte Vista. Complete incompetent scam artists The first time we walked in there their computers were down The second time we walked in there there was a piece of equipment that was malfunctioning and they couldn't put an appointment I could have swore I was part of a David Chappelle sketch lol. The person at the front desk seemed more interested in playing with his cell phone then trying to help my wife. After the oil was finally changed and I went with her to pick it up and of course I checked the vehicle to make sure the oil was in fact changed and the filter was changed because come on now we're talking about Midas never trusted quick lube and tune shops and my experience justifies this feeling they tried to tell us that my vehicles wife had a leak from the main seal which has never leaked My vehicle does not leak I check it periodically there are no puddles in my driveway All three people that operate the vehicle said there was no leaks My mechanic who just replaced the fuel injectors in it so there was no leak he checked it again including the main seal and every other seal and there was no leak determined that the Midas technician intentionally when taking out the oil filter spilled everything that was in the filter down into the control arm so that later on it would begin to drip simulating a possible leak so that they could try to f*** us to fix something else

Don't Go To Midas Muffler _Dishonest, CROOKS
Service is unprofessional, and performance was inadequate. Took my vehicle in for repair, Manager, said I had to pay for a diagnostic $185.to assess the problem. They did the diagnostic and said nothing is wrong with my car, Their diagnostic consisted of only starting the car. It appears and I believe they are conning people to get the diagnostic done knowing beforehand they either can't fix it or don't know what to do, to make money. I took it to another shop and they knew right away what was wrong and fixed it. Dont waste your time and money going to Midas, Very poor service and inadequate knowledge of fixing cars.
