Midas / SpeeDee Oil Change

They are dishonest and have no integrity. They are only nice and give great prices to their friends if you know what I mean. The owner has an attitude. The only nice person is Atif. Stay away from this place.

I like to think all oil change places are the same. On a Wednesday around 7:30 i needed to get an oil change done as we had a road trip planned for the long weekend. Jiffy Lube’s hours were wrong online, and they were closed, Pep Boys straight up turned me away even though they were open, they said we cant take any more cars before close, (they had 30 mins)… but I called Midas and they were going to close in 10 mins, i said i am across the street and be there in 2 mins. The guys said, sure we will take care of you. That is where my rating comes from. They took the car in right away, and only took 10 minutes. He checked the tire pressure and even recommended looking at tire tread down the road. First time at this location and likely not the last.

Went here for my emissions test, everybody was super nice and they have me in and out in 10 minutes. I was surprised they didn’t try to have me do some checkup or something wasting my time.

A couple of years ago I went to Midas because I needed to have my muffle repaired and ready over the weekend. I have not had the opportunity to thanks these people on Unilocal since then so I am taking this opportunity.
I paid roughly 3 times the average repair for a muffler only (around $ 500) on a sunny fall day. The repairs were done fairly quickly but the costs were astronomical.
The work fell apart about 1 year later and I was right back to square one. The same problem. The new mechanic noted how shoddy the work was that was done by Midas.
Needless to say I will NEVER, EVER use Midas again and I am always certain to tell my friends and family what a joke this place is.

Had my brakes an rotors done here twice (front pair then back) and the manager Jay has always been nice and helpful. Even fitting in discounts when I let him know I’m on a tight budget. Just recently my brakes were squealing 70−80% of the time, the 10% fluctuation depending on the temp.
I took it in after a few weeks and Juan initially couldn’t hear anything so he took everything apart and inspected it. I asked his permission to record what he said about the part that clamps on the brake pads and he was cool with it. (I have bumper to bumper warranty so I wanted the words from the expert exactly because I already forgot the parts name) he figured out the excess paint from the brake pads was gumming up the part and took the time to investigate and fix it proper even though I wouldn’t be getting charged for it. I appreciated that a lot.
While doing so I got to chatting about the World Cup with the guy up front named Daniel. There was another nice guy but I didn’t catch his name. All in all fixed the issue, gave me a quote on tires which I badly need, made an appointment for an oil change, waived the rear brake light charge, were super friendly talkative and nice, and I felt no bullshit from these guys, plus they explained everything simply, no car terminology.
I’ll only go to my dealership for warranty stuff, otherwise I’m going straight here for my car needs.

Great service! They did my muffler and exhaust system for $ 621. I got a discount off of the inspection fee. Above and beyond when the even help me get my key back onto the key ring for me. Lifetime warrantfor our muffler warranty as well

Came to do my emissions test, but I had to schedule an appointment through the Illinois Air Team to get it done at this location. This was the only one of two locations that had available appointment times the same day as my call.
I got there about five minutes earlier than my scheduled time. My first impression upon entering was that it had a decent waiting area. They had magazines, a TV, chairs and coffee table. No other customers were present when I was there. The guy behind the counter seemed bored and was on his cell when I approached the counter, but he was able to get my emissions test done in under five minutes. I was out the door before my scheduled appointment time, so that was a definite plus.
I can’t comment on how they are with other services, but they’re really good with getting your emissions testing done quickly. I would recommend this location for that.

I have been here three times
Always fast friendly and cheap!
Took a third trip to fix my pile of rust but they got it perfect!
Thanks!!!

Disaster! I went there to have my brakes looked at; they had been squeaking. I first brought my car in in November, 2011. They charged me over $ 300 to change the rotors, and install new pads. WIthin one month my brakes were squeaking again. I went back and asked them what the problem was. They said «bad quality parts were put on the car. This can happen sometimes.» Fair enough; so I had them replace it (at no cost to me). Again, within one month, my brakes were squeaking. I had had enough, so I went to another Midas dealership in Chicago and they explained to me that the parts I had been given were of the LOWEST QUALITY possible. They also pointed out that I had been overcharged by about $ 100 for this «service».
DO NOT GO HERE. Drive without brakes if you have to, before stepping foot into this ridiculous establishment. I will also be reaching out to Midas directly to notify them of this horrific service.

Scammer! Wanted to charge me over $ 1,000 & wanted to keep the car for a week! Meineke at main st took 1 hr & charged $ 276. Car runs like new no thanks to midas

Went here for an estimate while my exhaust was getting louder. They didn’t show me anything on my car — told me that everything was fine, except this small flexpipe. Said the part was near $ 350 and they would do the work for $ 556!
I told them I needed to come back. I went home — found the part online. Even in stainless steel I could have it delivered for $ 110. Needless to say I got a second opinion…
Went to Merlin’s in Elk Grove Village (will write a review there) they found the same flexpipe and an issue with the brackets at the tailpipe… they pointed both issues out to me under the car. I added in an oil change while I was there and my total bill was $ 325!

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER bring your car here. I had my exhaust done here about 2 and half years ago. 2 weeks ago it fell off,. I retunred to them, as the hubby said I had some kind of warranty. Yep, sure did-​for the muffler ONLY. Ran me almost $ 300.00 for the rest of the crap. Okay, well, after I picked it up (which took 2 DAYS TO FIX!), less than a mile away I heard it rattling as though it was going to fall off agin. I truend around and went back. The manager, Ken, KNEW they left these parts loose… and sent me off like that. THEN WANTED ME TO PAY TO FIX THEM-​AFTER I HAD JUST PAID ALMOST $ 300.00!I told him I wasn’t paying a god darned dime and to fix it, or else.
It got fixed, and fell off entirely AGAIN LESS THAN A WEEK later. Ken wanted me to pay to re-​do it. I told him my car would magically fly through the whole builidng if he didn’t fix it-​fix it irght-​and at NO COST. Well, 2 weeks later, and now it is loose again, ready to fall off, and I haven’t been able to drive my stunning car in a week’s time. I called corporate as well as another store (Midas Paperwork claims to have a NATIONWIDE WARRANTY with the said PAID paperwork). The Wheaton Store wouldn’t fix my car, claiming, they didn’t ruin it and shouldn’t have to fix it. Corporate hasn’t called, and it’s been 3 DAYS. DO NOT EVER EVER EVER GO here to get a car finxed. They are MORONS!
