Midas

I am yet to find an auto repair shop that I can say is totally honest (I am still looking.). Took my car here. Felt about 60% of their charges and work was «honest» but the rest was BS. This is my opinion, but I felt that if they thought you knew about cars, they proposed the best/​cheapest solution, if not they tried to extract some ‘extra’ charges from you for this and that. In one instance, I proposed a solution, but they said that solution would not provide the required quality and so they will not implement it and instead proposed a solution that cost three times as much. I took my car to a repair shop in Cary and had my proposal implemented for a fraction of the cost I would have paid here. I have stopped going to this location after this incident. The above is my opinion is of course, and others may have had different experiences and may or may not agree with my opinion.

I have never had a problem at this Midas. I feel they have been honest with me and take the time to look at my history. I am always skeptical of all auto repairs so it takes a lot to keep me coming back. I would definitely recommend them to others.

Strip drain plugs then charge you for a new oil pan. Happened to two others I know as well. They advertise good oil change prices on a banner but costs $ 200 in the end.

Great local Midas shop. Altho Sharpur (the owner) can be grumpy at times. He’s not very personable. Other than that the prices are always the best and the mechanics have not once tried to upsell me on anything that I didnt need. They are the best shop in Crystal Lake!

I have always had a fair experience here, they do not push the upsell like at most mechanics. You can tell the owner, who is usually at the desk, has a lot of integrity and is looking out for the interests of a long term relationship, not a quick buck. I wish there was a place like this close to where I lived, my in laws live out around here so I know I can get some good repairs done with the car when I’m here!

Always have a great experience here. The manager is awesome and their mechanics are top-​notch. Fair prices too.
