Midas

Midas is a great Auto Repair Center located in Eden Prairie. I brought my Toyota Tacoma in because my front left wheel bearing was humming to the point of almost grinding. They gave me a competitive bid which was a fair price. Jason gave me a loaner car for the night and I came back the next day and the repairs were finished and the problem corrected. Midas Auto Repair Center in Eden Prairie is a very professional bunch of certified mechanics who know their trade.
Here is a review video I made for Midas.

These guys run an honest, and hassle free shop. The store is greatly staffed and I my auto issues are always dealt with efficiently. They even have replaced my turn bulbs free of charge as well as diagnostics free of charge. I continue to use this shop even after relocating out of Eden Prairie because of the excellent service and staff.

Dan (@ Brooklyn Center), was very helpful to me. He was able to get my Pontiac Grand Prix in w/​o hesitation, and saved me money on the parts. Thank you very U. — B.T.

Knowledgeable trustworthy staff. They give it to you straight and then let you make the decisions. There is a reason this location has been around for over 20 years. will be back for years to come.

I have been going to this Midas location for years. The staff are courteous and knowledgeable. Even better, they do not pressure you into getting work done on your car, only providing their diagnostics with recommendations. Add in a sense of humor and flexibility, and you have a place to go for nearly all your car issues. Cannot rate high enough!

Awesome and honest people! Look no further to bring your car anywhere else! I brought my car in for an oil change and battery repair and they found issues and brought them to my attention when other places didn’t even bother mentioning it. They answered my questions honestly. Honest people with great customer service. I recommend this place to anyone who’s having car people. Great prices too! 19.99 oil change? Yes please! I’m really impressed with this place!

1÷6÷2014 Update: A couple weeks after I posted this review, I received a call from the Midas in Deephaven (the Midas that had ended up replacing my battery after I went running scared from EP). Turns out the Deephaven Midas and the EP Midas are owned by the same people.
They had seen this review and apologized for my poor experience with the Eden Prairie Midas and they offered me a free oil change. They said EP is really good and that I should give them another try to see if I might change my mind about them but I said after my experience I didn’t think I could ever trust them again though I do trust Deephaven. I told them I would update this review but my opinion of their EP location stayed the same.
Clearly there are issues in the EP location that need to be taken care of. The whole situation just stinks to high heaven, especially the fact that they have no record of me being at the EP location for a car estimate to begin with.
I like the Deephaven location very much and trust them completely but they very much need to have a better handle on their Eden Prairie shop./end update
These guys are crooks when it comes to a young woman looking for a battery change.
We recently had a long cold snap there in Minnesota when my car completely failed to start (I own a 2003 Ford Focus). It had all the signs of a dead battery but I hadn’t left my lights on. I got it running fine by jumping it but it died two more times in the next 24 hours. I figured I needed to get the battery replaced since I hadn’t replaced it since I bought the car and it was so bitterly cold for so long it probably snapped.
I ended up trying this place since my parents had a very good relationship with a Midas in Deephaven and it was close to my work. I called ahead to make an appointment at 5:15 that day. I arrived and everyone was courteous enough telling me they will run some quick tests on my car’s starting ability (I just wanted them to replace the battery). I ended up waiting 50 minutes for the results and they were only given to me when I stepped up to the counter and made my presence know. I don’t know how long they had the results for but 50 minutes for a simple bunch of tests after I had called ahead (even if it was at the end of the day) seems excessive.
Anyway, they told me what I already suspected that my battery needed replacement. Ok– I figured that. What I didn’t figure was that they said my alternator also needed to be replaced. For battery, serpentine belt, and alternator replacement and an oil change (I never asked for an oil change or serpentine belt replacement, they just threw them in there), the estimate was $ 950! this included labor and parts according to them. The price tag threw me. I don’t know too much about cars but even to me that sounded ridiculous. They wanted to charge me $ 330 for the alternator part alone. I asked if I could simply get the battery replaced and think about the alternator. The guy said it wouldn’t matter, if the alternator is bad a new battery wouldn’t help and I should get it all done in one go. Well, I got the hell out of there angry that they wasted my time and tried to obviously over charge me.
The kicker is that when I went to the Midas in Deephaven that knew my family and was a shop we knew we could trust, they tested my alternator and said it was perfectly fine. They said the issues I was having was 100% the fault of my battery being dead. They replaced my battery and gave me an oil change (this one I actually asked for) for only $ 175 (their battery replacement cost $ 20 less than the Eden Prairie Midas).
So buyer beware of this Midas especially if you are a woman. I don’t know if their testing machine was out of whack or they flat out lied to me but either way they seem like bad news and I would recommend avoiding them like the plague.

We brought in our car a couple weeks ago because one of the wheels was making a grinding sound. They determined that it was a bearing. I also asked them to take a look at the brakes because they were squeaking and all of these noises were driving my wife mad. We were quoted a reasonable price and they did the work for us.
Halfway through the day I received a call from Steve. He told me that they had broken an ABS sensor while doing the work. Steve explained what happened and replaced the sensor. I’ve done business with many mechanics who would have simply lied to me by saying that the sensor was broken before they started the work and making me pay to replace it. Steve was honest with me and replaced the sensor free of charge. Once we got the car home, it drove like a charm.
Unfortunately, a week or two later the dashboard lit up with warning lights about ABS, AWD, and traction control. The new manager, Dylan (or Dillon?) asked me to bring it in so they could take a look. They fixed the connection to the sensor and everything looked fine. The next day the lights came back. I had to bring the car in three more times to get to the bottom of the problem. I didn’t have a problem with this because I understand that these situations happen from time to time. Besides, Dylan and his crew were so good to me. They even provided a loaner vehicle. It wasn’t a luxury car, but it got me to work and back. It turned out that the bearing on the other front wheel was the culprit (and probably was all along). Because it was misdiagnosed the first time (under the previous management), Dylan took care of it without batting an eye and turned what could been a major fiasco into a good experience.
Despite changing management in between visits and a problem that was very hard to track down, the folks at Midas took care of me and showed me how much I’m valued as a customer. They have really earned my business in the future. If you need any auto work in Eden Prairie, I’d highly recommend the folks at Midas. They do great word will treat you fairly.

I’m from Chicago and had brake and front end problems in Eden Prairie, Mn., Shop manager Steve and crew, Russell and Nick, were the most courteous and best group that I have ever dealt with in auto repairs, great prompt service, economical pricing, great «old school» work ethics. Not one customer in the time I spent there left unsatisfied. Thanks Steve and crew!!!

Steve and his Crew are Outstanding! Honest and fair, they always come through. Thanks again, Steve. Joe Walsh, GM, Class A Valet.
