SpeeDee-Midas

Great service, honest and trustworthy! I will definitely go here for all my auto maintenance!

Just fine… get you in and out without costing a fortune.

Bought a car that’s been serviced here. Oil drain was replaced with an air driven wrench. No lubricant on the filter either. I suppose customer service counts for something. Just as long as you don’t intend to ever change the oil yourself.

I don’t know what gives with the bad reviews.
I went in here today to get my car checked out after procrastinating on the Maintenance Required light for too long lol. I had a coupon for $ 29.99 oil change (which also included checking fluids, air pressure, etc.) which is a better deal than most places around here seem to have.
Dave was the one who worked on my car, and he was really cool! (And didn’t judge my messy car haha) He found some potential issues since my car is so old, but didn’t rush me to get them fixed right then and there. Even so, the quotes they gave me were reasonable. I might go back Saturday to have Dave finish up some more work my car needs.
I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a reliable and honest mechanic. I feel like some people confuse recommendation with «upselling» because I certainly didn’t feel pressured to buy anything extra.

Theresa runs her business well! Very friendly, reasonable prices. I’ve taken my Prius in for oil changes, smog checks, and have gotten new tires from them. Always good service.

Brought my Prius there for an oil change. They changed my oil quickly but didn’t reset my maintenance light. They also tried to sell me a couple of different filters and four new tires. Was told that my tires were «legally bald» and that I should not be driving on them. I decided to take my car to a second location to get my tires checked out. New location said I’ve got about 3,000 miles left on my front tires and much more than that on my back tires. Looks like I’m not in dire need of tires right away. Glad I went for that second opinion… disappointed in SpeeDee for trying to trick me into things I don’t need right now. Would suggest getting that second opinion for any type of repair/​parts they suggest you need. Won’t be returning to this business.

Excellent and quick. A/​C was very weak on my 2008 Civic and temps are 107! Local dealer and other shops could see my Civic in a few days or the next week. SpeeDee took the car in right away, recharged A/​C and did oil change service in under 2 hours. Now, I know my timing was lucky because there were no customers ahead of me for the A/​C service. Price was fair and they accepted a competitor’s coupon. Very happy. It’s been awhile since I’ve been to SpeeDee, but I’m coming back.

Brought my fleet vehicle in here to get its latest tune-​up. I have difficulty finding a service center that is willing to work on my truck because the fleet company that I use is smaller and usually not in any one’s system. SpeeDee, however, did not balk at going through this effort. They tuned up my truck and it is running excellently. Service is friendly and they appear to be very honest. I will definitely be seeing these guys again!

Teresa and Randy run a wonderful operation that is focused on serving customers needs and not price gouging them to create revenues.
I come here for all maintenance on my car and have left overly satisfied every time.

The price is good, the coupons, etc are attractive… I’ve been there many times over the past few years and never had a problem. This last time the technician said my battery needed to be replaced. That it was at 30% of storage and therefore in need of replacing. They’d sell me one… Etc.
I thought it sounded odd because my car started fine. I went home and called AAA to come check my battery. The AAA service man showed me on his expensive battery tester that the battery was working like new. The battery was 4 years old and has a 6 year warranty on it.
I concluded that either the speedy technician has an integrity problem or is using incredibly bad equipment. Either way, they just lost a long time customer. I would not recommend any of my friends to go there.

Prices for oil change went up. They add extra charges (not just for the additional oil) to the bill so don’t believe the advertised price. The cost of oil change is more than the dealer’s cost. For this cost better go to the dealer.

I wandered over the SpeedDee one day based on the recommendation of a stranger who was trying to help me change my taillights at a gas station. I really needed help getting the bulbs out of the sockets so i figured, why not? They’re just down the street from my house. Upon arrival I was immediately greeted by a smiling employee and asked what I needed. I explained and she said that she would be right back with someone who could help. Within moments another employee came out to help. He was very careful because he knew it the bulbs broke inside of the sockets that I’d be in trouble. After a little fiddling around both of the bulbs were finally out. (These were seriously difficult bulbs, that seemed to be fused into the sockets!) The employee helped me put new bulbs into both taillights and asked if there was anything else that he could help me with. I offered to pay but they wouldn’t accept. I was extremely grateful for their kindness and promised to be back for a smog inspection soon.
Smog inspection was done quickly, and with a smile. Upon checkout I had forgotten my $ 20 off coupon from Safeway but the cashier gladly honored it :-)
This place has great customer service and knows how to serve it up with a smile every time! I will be returning !!

Brought my car in for an oil change and to check for a leak in my right rear tire. They did the oil change and told me they found a nail in my right rear tire and I needed 4 new tires. I bought these tires less than 2 years ago and having worked in a gas station for 12 years know there’s plenty of tread on the tires. When I told them to just fix the right rear tire, they REFUSED. They gave me my bill and LEFT THE NAIL in the tire.
I will be writing the BBB next, avoid this place. The oil change is just the draw to sell more service and parts every time I have been to this place. Try Davisville Express Lube in Davis.

Always impeccable customer service. Love the staff, clean facility and fast!

So I’ve been here a few times actually. It usually takes 40 – 60 minutes. It’s not that speedy in my opinion, especially since I have to wait in the waiting room and watch the time go by. They have a tv, so it’s nice to watch the news or hgtv, and they have coffee. The people are nice, but they do make mistakes. One person changed the wrong filter, which I luckily caught, so I had to wait for them to change the right one. Another time, I wanted to know about the guarantee, and the person in front was guessing along with me about its contents. The people are nice though. It seems expensive to me, but I’m also a college student on a budget.

Update: after their service caused a car accident that could have been really serious and I called to complain and wrote this Unilocal review no one has ever contacted me from Midas to 1) apologize 2) offer me my money back on the service 3) again, apologize.
Don’t go here. You actually might die.

Having gotten cheaper oil changes in other towns, I concur with other reviewers here who mentioned that oil changes don’t come cheap in Davis. However, when I’m in the Davis area and need one, I take my car here. Having utilized their service more than a few times now, I can say that SpeeDee-​Midas has built up a great track record for getting it done in 30 minutes or less so far. While they will identify, point out, and explain various other problems with your car, I’ve never experienced any sales pressure. The staff here is personable, reliable, and professional.

My bother took the car for a oil change and next thing I know he comes back without the car cause in the shop they said it was critical to change the radiator, which had a crack. when we go back to pick up the car, the guy basically said the engine was damaged since some oil was in the pistons (which is true) and basically game me 4 options:
1. Replace the valves and spark plugs (around 1700 $)
2. drive the car until it dies
3. replace the whole engine (around 2700 $)
4. sell the car as it is (worth no more than 800 $ according to them).
Very dissapointed I took the car to Davis Express Lube to get a second opinion, and they fixed the problem for a fraction of this prices. I won’t recommend this place and wont come back again.

I have been going to this Speedee for years now. Despite having moved out of Davis, I still go here because I have tried many other places for oil changes and I always seem to compare them against this Speedee.
They have fantastic customer service, in my opinion. Theresa, in particular, is so warm and friendly. She’s always got a smile on her face and seems to genuinely care about her customers! I think she might be the owner, but I’m not sure.
I also like going here because they really don’t pressure you into getting services you might not think you need. They usually bring extra services up during your consultation but they aren’t pushy about, more just informative. Their mechanics are very professional and friendly, not to mention, also very quick with their services!
I definitely recommend this Speedee location, they’re about the same price as anywhere else you could go for a simple oil change, but they offer a much more pleasant experience than the rest!

Just had my oil change here and had a much better experience. Fast service and super friendly nice people. Only had to wait 30 minutes and I didn’t make an appointment.
I had called another place to get a quote for an oil change for my car that uses full synthetic and requires 6 quarts. Was told there would be a bunch of different add-​ons, extra quart was $ 10, my car needed some special part that was $ 10…on and on, the total this other place gave me was $ 100.
I came to Speedee and my total that included the full service oil change (6 quarts of synthetic) PLUS replacing the engine air filter (which was way overdue) was $ 100, no random add-​ons. They didn’t try to sell me anything, but just reminded me that my tires were due for a change, which is totally true.
Great experience and will likely be back.
