Midas

I had a coupon for an oil change and John at the desk was very nice and I have never had a smoother experience getting my oil changed.

I came here because I got a flat tire due to a nail. First the guy at the front desk quoted me $ 150 for a new tire change, a few minutes later I wanted to leave because I found a place called «7 Diaz Tires» that only charged a total of $ 80 – 90. I told the guy I wanted to leave and he lied and said my car was being worked on and that the tire was put on already, when in fact it was sitting in the lot still. He proceeded to say that he would match the $ 90 in efforts to make me stay. So I did. Then when he was finished with my tire, he rang it up to a total of $ 120, and so he lied twice and overcharged me! If I could write negative stars I would! This was a horrible experience and just very frustrating. What a scam!

worst experience in my life
worst customer service ever
i went in for an oil change and the gentleman helping me said they couldn’t help me with an oil change. I asked why it wasn’t possible and he replied «the car is making a noise, so take it to the dealer». When i asked what am i supposed to do with only 16% of oil left, he simply grabbed a calculator and said «you have 80 miles to get to a dealership before your engine blows».
i felt like i was on the other side of an attitude and i got no help besides «go to a dealership», and these people are supposed to be professionals.

I just came to this Midas and this guys try to sell me the same break pads when I already have life warranty what a rip off make sure you tell them you have warranty or they make you pay double bad service, I brought my car at 8:30am and is 1:00pm and they haven’t done anything to my car bad service.

Three months later I’m back to needing my car serviced again because of the terrible job that was done at Midas. Do yourself a favor and do the service elsewhere

Worse place to get your break job done. Never again, if you want work done correctly thefirst time, go elsewhere.

Really I should see more 5 stars. These dudes know their stuff and give you the estimate on point. But not after the initial check up. That is the most accurate method in my opinion. The two guys in the front are super helpful and courteous like I couldn’t believe. Seriously, they were great help and totally left me wanting to give them this review. I guess I have a break guy now!

Sign up for their coupons online or the oil change plus will cost almost double! You can get it for $ 19.99 with the coupon which isn’t bad for a chain like this. They do a through check of all maintenance and required service. So that way you know what parts to buy from autozone and how to price check for labor. Ask for john, he’s very pleasant and professional. They don’t post their prices so pay attention to the quote before you authorize the work. Don’t bother waiting there for your car to be services, it takes 2 – 3 hours.

Took my car here because I had a nail in a tire. They told me it wasn’t patchable and that, because it’s a 4 wheel drive, I would need a completely new set of tires. Had ‘em put the spare on and took it over to Atlantic Tire on Fairfax. Well they were right, it wasn’t patchable… because the nail never punctured the tire. It wasn’t even leaking.

Went here after a long patronage of the Beverly HIlls Midas franchise. I found this location to be better across the board– easier to get an appointment, cleaner waiting room, faster turnaround time, friendlier staff. Granted, I was just getting an oil change (although they also swapped out some brake lights for me). It may be different for repairs, but I just thought this place was head-​and-​shoulders better than the Beverly Hills location.
Only drawback: Fox News on the waiting room TV. Ugh. But I just put on my headphones and tuned it out. And the work was done quickly, so I didn’t have to wait long.

I got an oil change, $ 20 coupon easy peasy.
Then I got my coolant stuff flushed (or whatever you call it lol), which was $ 89.
John was the person at the desk, and he was super nice.
I had my dog with me and they were all more than friendly! Even the mechanic was super friendly to Javi and they all said hi.
John didn’t push me to buy anything so that was really nice for a change, and I didn’t get the condescending sexist shit that I usually get from 99% of car places.
It took 2.5hrs for everything. I was lucky enough to go hang out at my friend’s place…
It’s like a 25 min walk to Hoover, and extra 10 min if you want to walk to campus.
If not, there’s like a bajillion places to eat on Fig, you just gotta do this thing called «walking».
5 stars for customer service
5 stars for not being ignorant based on gender
6 stars for being super dog friendly!

Good customer service but they’re slow and they severely over charge. Unless you have time and money isn’t an issue, get a second opinion.

I came here for new tires and an über inspection. Rather, I came here for an Über inspection and then I was told I would need all new tires to pass my Über inspection. So four hundred dollars and four new tires later, I passed my Über inspection. Regardless, the men behind the service counter were nice. I suppose it wasn’t their fault that my car needed new tires…
The install happened within an hour and while I waited they told me of a nice spot nearby within walking distance where I could have lunch.

So, this has been the most upfront and honest mechanics I have been to in LA. Same people serve you and as long as you call ahead you can drop off your car and come back with no problems. A while ago I had them diagnose a problem but I wasn’t charged for it. I came back and they fixed it but it took a while.
Right next to jacks and joes so you can get pancakes while you wait. Good looking out! Peace!

I started taking my 12 yr old Montero Mitsubishi to Midas on Figueroa in January 2014. I’m sooooooooooooooooo glad I found a mechanic for life. Vasken and his crew are very friendly and helpful. They have such patience with their customers in explaining mechanical issues.
I highly recommend this shop to everyone in the Los Angeles area… they rock!!!

DO NOT COME HERE! So I decided to get my oil change here since the logo reads «trust the Midas touch». I have a high end car so I have to be picky about where I get my car serviced. I came her at the end of 2012 and again in 2013. I checked my oil Sunday and had very little oil but Midas is closed on Sundays. I went to my local valvoline drive thru locations and long story short, my oil filter had not been changed since 2012. How do I know this? The oil filter has a serial number that matched the serial number for the oil filter in 2012, not 2013. Valvoline literally pulled my oil filter out in pieces, it was completely disintegrated! Ived contacted the Better Business Bureau, who knows what damage this had caused to my motor! I am so angry, you can’t trust anyone! At least at valvoline you are able to stay in your car and you can see the parts being changed right in front of you.

Well, Here is the lowdown with this place so call «Shop»
They use the cheapest matériel available known to man AND they can’t even weld correctly. It’s really unsafe for you to get your car serviced here.
You take your car for brake job: Your brakes will not function correctly and make noise!
You take your car for oil change: You will get a oil leak!
You take your car for exhaust job: Your exhaust will leak!
You take your car for flat: Your tire will leak!
The management are bunch of thieves, and only thinks about their commission and bonus so they WILL add on extra service whenever and however they can.
The mechanics are bunch of rejects with no skills. PERIOD!

WARNING
Just got an oil change with a Groupon. When I returned to pick up my car three hours later they told me my break-​pads were paper thin and unsafe to drive. They felt fine on the way there. On the way back THEY MADE NOISE AND FELT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. Firmly suspicion that they swapped them out and/​or sabotaged my car. These people should be investigated. I will be contacting their corporate offices, please send me a message if you had a similar experience. I swear to god if this causes any damage to my car or my person I’m straight lawyering up. Jesus Christ!

Bad bad choice! I went so they could fix my back driver side tire, it had a nail on it and it was leaking air. So they fix it and they called me that my truck was ready. Cool right? No next day my tire was flat but not the back one the front one. What Midas actually did was move my tire from the back to the front without fixing it and the reason I knew it was the back one, because it had a mark and I knew it was the one on the back!
Rip offs! I didn’t even wanted to waste my time on those a-ho’s.
BE AWARE OF THEM!

I would give this place negative stars if I could… «keep your car running at Midas» nice tagline! But no f’in shit if you only service the ones that are guaranteed to keep running for the next 10 years! I have an old car but it runs fine. When I went in for an oil change today, they declined thier service because my car passed 1000 miles from the regular 3000 mile check point. They said they looked inside my car and my metal parts were all melted from the over heated oil. I came back to Midas to pick up my car. my car was still in the same place where I parked it and looked untouched. They gave me a whole speech about how my 1000 mile overage completely ruined my engine and changing the oil will freeze everything. I took it to another place and my engine was fine.
I only came here for the $ 15 oil change deal on groupon but I should’ve known better not to trust these guys –_​– I found an awesome auto shop even closer to where I live! :D $ 20 oil change (usually $ 30 but they gave me a deal) I’ll write a review about them right after this!
Don’t buy the groupon deal!!!
