Midas

I’ll preface by saying that I’m not a frequent reviewer but am very familiar with vehicle maintenance.
I went to Midas in order to patch a tire and get an oil change. Wanting to save time, I asked for them to take a look at my tire before doing any work and to let me know if they would be able to do it all at (trying to not run around to 5 different shops to in order to compete my trucks full maintain economic needs)
30 min later… Comes back saying that he couldn’t patch my tire but has changed my oil and reading off the usual oil changing station suggestions cabin filter, air filter ect. (I had those changed a month earlier)
The work they did was fine. However, the deception was a bit uncalled for. I wouldn’t recommend.

Great Service ! I had a flat Tire they found a nail !! They patch my tire for free !! I got my oil change took 20 mins fast service !!!

I just got my Camry’s tires rotated in the pouring rain ! & the guys here were awesome! Quick & fast & curb side service ! I’ll keep coming back .
Thank You

They say they do mufflers but they can’t spot weld a repair on a muffler? Most all mufflers require welding. All the guys in the shop were standing around and not working. They couldn’t even look at what I was asking help for. PURE LAZY!

This place is awesome.
Brought my car in dropped it off, they even gave me a ride home.
Additionally the price was the best around by anywhere from 40 – 80 dollars and working with Daniel, the Manager, was an absolute pleasure.
I will definitely be taking my car back again when the need arises.

Amazing service, I was there the other day for a quick flat tire and I got in & out in under a hour. Great prices with even better customer service

I had excellent service at this location. All staff went above and beyond to help me with my car situation. I really appreciate all the help and I will definitely be back.

I can’t begin to say enough about the great service and amazing staff. They help me out, sometimes free of charge and never try to over charge. I come here for all my service needs. Highly recommended.

I was having some squeaking in my brakes. Daniel the Manager shot me straight and didn’t oversell me things I didn’t need. He was polite and explained everything including the costs (material and labor). Daniel also went through the expected maintenance items over the next year or so of owning my car (based on mileage) to set some expectations of future costs /​maintenance. I got a free consultation and maintenance plan. He had me in and out in only a few hours with almost no notice; I just pulled into the shop. I would definitely recommend this spot and will take my car back to Daniel for future needs.

Daniel is incredible. The most amazing and wonderful customer service ive ever received in an auto shop. I highly recommend this shop to everybody. From the moment i called to the moment i picked up my car. Daniel greeted me with a smile and great attitude. I think like everybody, im always looking for a good place to trust someone with my vehicle and get a fair price, but above all, a fair and honest service. This place definitely exceded my expectations. Not only did they do an amazing job on my Cadi but the customer service was outstanding. I trust this place 100% and will definitely come back again and again from now on. Daniel you’ve earned my trust and my friendship. Thank you. Raul.

I bought a coupon for 3 sessions of oil change, tire rotation, and something else I’m a girl can’t remember these mechanic terms when the advertising salesman came in our office I thought it would be this creepy hole in the wall business looking for business, but since I needed an oil change soon and the price sounded right I decided to buy it. I called Midas and wanted to schedule for a Saturday one of their most busiest days Daniel told me that usually on Saturday they don’t do coupons but that he would squeeze me in. Saturday came and I completely forgot so I didn’t show up and of course did not cancel. I ended up just showing up first thing on a raining Tuesday morning at 8am as I was getting off my car this 15 passenger van had arrived before me without an appointment I observed the workers and heard Gary say «Don’t worry sir we will take care of it with a smile that gave me courage to go inside even though I had a funny feeling due to the fact that I had not called or showed up. When I walked in Daniel was at the service desk he made me feel welcomed and did not mention the fact that I had not showed up on Saturday the check in process was a piece of cake in and out. Daniel said it would be ready by 5pm since he had to squeeze me in. I mentioned that I wasn’t off till six, and said I would try to make it back. To my surprise Daniel called me at 12pm that my car was ready. I was expecting a whole list of what needed to be repaired and I only had a windshield wiper on the list that I already knew it needed to be changed. I didn’t want to do it at the time because the PREVIOUS place that I had gone to charge me $ 19.99 at Valvoline, but I wanted to know how much would it cost at Midas and if it was worth trusting them so I asked Daniel and he said it would be $ 9.99 (a WHOLE DALLA Less) Wow! So I ended up purchasing it. I went back to pick up my car and there was a client before me speaking with Daniel it seemed to me that she was a long time customer and that she really liked their service. Check out process was also great!
I would definitely come back and refer my friends especially my girlfriends I didn’t feel ripped off and I didn’t need a guy figure by my side to have a good experience at the car shop.

We bought a car from Midas/​Seaside. We met Greg and right from the start we had an great experience. Greg explained to us that we would be a customer for life and he was right! Not only was the car in the great shape he told us it was (I had it checked), but he followed up with a very through service plan! A few months later after a small fender bender, Greg was great again! Advised us with insurance and repairs and we were back on the road again.
You will have a great experience with Greg!
Thanks!

The staff here was very professional and friendly. They worked hard to get my car done quickly and it is now running great. I definitely trust them to take great care of my car anytime.

If you’re looking for an honest, knowledgable team to work on your auto head over to this Midas now!
Greg and his team did the full works on my car and let me know I’ll be needing brakes and a battery soon with no «hard sale». They even put on after factory hubcaps I had sitting in my trunk for a couple of weeks for no extra charge!
I highly recommend them for all your auto needs!

This Midas is right around the corner from me. I didn’t have a local auto shop and checked this on Unilocal.
I popped my tire with a pretty sizeable screw. Took it in and Kevin and Greg were super helpful and friendly. The repair, switching out the spare and balancing was $ 30 and done in about 35 minutes. They’ve locked up a new customer for sure.

Greg and the rest of the staff at Midas are great! They are efficient and really go the extra mile for their customers. I bought a car from Greg this past August. The car has been running great. I was involved in a car accident this past April and Greg was quick to get the work done on the car and get me back on the road. He is always there whenever I come in or call to make an appointment. Greg cares about his business and his customers. I would recommend Midas Costa Mesa to everyone.

Just picked up my 2003 Explorer yesterday and, once again, Greg and his whole crew at Midas have gone above and beyond with their service. I even paid to have my car towed from San Diego to give them my business.
Over the years, I’ve brought my car in for oil changes, brake fixes, new tires, etc. and I’ve always been happy with the results.
This last time, Greg kept me updated via phone and text, sending me photos of some of the broken parts to show me what they were replacing.
Can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Place is AWESOME. Super clean. Incredibly friendly. Even more important, honest and trustworthy. They do not try to up-​sell whatsoever. Have your best interest in mind, at all times and at more than reasonable rates.
My most recent encounter with them was last night. I had just got in my car after work 5 minutes before 6pm. It had been raining all day and whenI backed out of my parking spot, my brakes wouldnt work forcing me to use my emergency brake to prevent me from hitting the car parked in the spot across from me. I quickly called them and asked what time they were open til. «About 3 more minutes» Kenneth (manager) said. I then explained to him the situation I was in and he so kindly offered to wait there for me (which is about a 20 minute drive). I think this alone is something that most people would not agree to do after a long days work. When i finally made it there, he not only immediately recognized me, but he also performed a brief diagnostic of the problem (still after hours, mind you). Once again, going above and beyond what is asked of him.
So its about 630 pm at this point. my phone is at 2% battery, i have no car charger (idiot, i know) so i’m semi-​frantically trying to get a friend or über to come pick me up at this point. I asked him the address, and without even hesitating he offered me a ride home. An incredibly generous offer, especially considering on the car ride home it became clear he had an hour and 15 minute commute home. This is the kind of thing that restores faith in humanity. I can’t say enough about the character this guy has.
Anyways…
the next day he called first thing to provide a quote and an estimated completion time. I let him know i had a doctors appointment that afternoon at 230 about 45 miinutes away. I planned on ubering, worst case scenario, but didnt want to spend the money if i didnt have to. He simply replied — «we’ll have it done by 2 then.» It was done by 1230. Exactly the kind of service you want, and deserve in an automotive service/​repair.
Bottom line… would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Wow Midas, you are lucky that Greg represents your brand name. What a guy!
I saw nothing but great service come out of this team during my visit today. I used to live in Temecula and always went to the Midas there and I am glad I am getting the same experience here.
I don’t want to jinx myself, but the next time I need an oil change or a tune up, I am coming here! They also change lights that are out and bigger engine things.

I’ve just been through hell and back with my vehicle — at no fault of Midas. This is the first time I’ve been to a Midas and all I have to say is that it will not be my last! They just gained a new client not only for my 2005 Acura TL and 2005 Ford Mustang but they now have my loyalty for life.
Midas ran into several technical issues with my vehicle and I was beginning to question the credibility and experience of the mechanics. Greg and Joe understood my concern and recognized that my time was valuable but they wanted to make sure that the vehicle was fixed correctly.
They not only offered to get me a rental car at no cost but they offered to cover my gas, insurance and transportation to and from the rental lot to ensure my safety since my vehicle was not handling well.
Once we learned that the manufacture had provided faulty parts they continued to go out of their way to accommodate me. They delivered my vehicle right to my office door and offered additional free services for in the future (which was MORE than generous).
In fact, Midas took full responsibility for another companies wrong-​doing. Who does that nowadays? They said that they will be contacting the manufacture to let them know of the faulty part and explain to them how much hassle it caused their customer (me). Usually companies just say, «oh sorry» and move on to the next customer but instead Midas is going out of their way to address this issue and show the part to the manufacture so that this will not happen again.
This speaks volumes and get this I didn’t even mention the small stuff. Prior to the faulty device — Joe showed me where repairs were needed and explained how the repairs were directly related to my safety. He also shared how my vehicle was in good shape and gave me a check off list on things to do in the future and made sure to show me the faulty parts and how it was causing my vehicle to not run properly. But before all this he sat down with me and went through each line item and threw in a free air filter since that was the last thing that I needed in order to complete all my immediate repairs. This guy heard me the first time when we spoke and addressed everything that I had requested (and I didn’t even have to repeat myself).
Both Greg and Joe opened the store door, car door and any other door for me like true gentleman; took my key off my key chain and placed it back on my key chain once the vehicle was finished and had three technicians working on my vehicle to ensure that things were running properly and smoothly.
Who does this? NO ONE!!! They usually throw my key down on the counter and say — sign here. I have NEVER received this great of service before from an auto shop. Exceptional Service!!! I highly recommend this place. I feel that they not only had my best interest at heart but would go the extra mile to make sure they made things right. Like I said — they have my business for life.
