I needed an oil change done for my car because it was due for a while. After looking at many places around PB being shady as hell or closed based on reviews, I decided on here. Pros: Cool guys working there, did the oil change decently fast and for 25 dollars for my Scion XB. Very knowledgable staff and were open and honest in showing me everything that they were doing. For a strictly oil change trip, very good for the price. Cons: Not much to say since its mostly my fault for asking the guy working on my car to keep an eye out for anything else just in case, but they informed me my filters needed changing asap and that my windshield wipers needed to be changed immediately or theyll scratch my windshield. (This was on a rainy day.) Theyll try to upsell you a little bit but its expected sort of in a way. I cant really fault them for trying being a salesman myself. 4 stars from me for being knowledgable and very helpful and swift working, just be cautious of the fact that youll probably get talked into paying more, although in my case it being highly recommended anyway to do it quick simply because I have a long commute anyway. Id come back given the circumstances for my next oil change.

This Midas worked on my red Ford Mustang and did great work. Tony the mechanic is a nice man and a competent mechanic as well as a hard working guy. Mike the owner treated me like royalty and so did Marcos and all the staff really. I had my transmission replaced, which was expensive because another small mechanic shop in Keller, Texas designed my transmission to fail after servicing it and Midas took care of me. Midas also replaced my brakes, my radiator, my thermostat condenser, my air conditioning pipe hose. I had a lot of issues at once and Midas took care of me. My transmission and brakes I believe are under a warranty. Before leaving for Texas I had a full inspection performed for free and a oil change too. This Midas shop in Pacific Beach, California is awesome, but Pacific Beach the city itself and California the state is crazy ha. This Midas does great work and at a competitive price. What sets this Midas apart I believe is the friendly staff and owner, the professional and knowledgeable, competent service, and trust. You can not have a business if your customers do not trust you. Midas has my trust and I wish this Midas shop specifically was in Dallas, Texas.

BEWARE indeed! I also got the 3 oil change deal on groupon and came for my first one. The older gentleman was extremely pushy and aggressive which made me feel uncomfortable. Stupid me came back to buy 4 tires + alignment and use the $50off coupon, they sold me only 2 and told me the coupon was for 4 tires. I told them that i DID want to buy 4 tires and the older gentleman simply told the lady in the office (Beth) to split the discount. They only sold me 2 despite me wanting 4 and gave me a $20 discount but yet voided the $50off coupon I had. When my fiance called to complain Beth on the phone simply said they did not know we wanted 4 tires and that they voided the $50off coupon because they gave us $20 only for buying 2 tires......?!?!?!?! They did not chose to make any resolution just apologized and wished we would come back.....I dont care if I throw the money I spent on the groupon deal away, I am giving away this coupon sheet and NEVER coming back to this location.

Went here because I got a coupon for my oil change and I also had to replace the gas filter. At first the manager was really cool, he talked to me like a "bro" and discussed the things I want to fix. He told me it was going to take 30 minutes, but NOPE it took 2 hrs. They changed the oil fast, but did not tell me about the gas filter. In the mean-time, the guy found "lots of problems" and told me that I can fix them and cost $700. I declined and he just said "well Im the doctor and you can pick what to fix" Paid and left, will not come here again.

This place has so much potential. Simple shop doing simple maintenance at good prices. However, the guy (owner?) is really a jerk. I went twice and I thought the guy was just having a bad day but my wife went there the next week and she came back and told me the same thing. When I went back the second time for one last try, he was just as unpleasant as the first. We just went for an oil change and it seems they did a good job but I will never go back no matter how good the prices. Guy is just very unpleasant to deal with.

These guys have been great for me. I have had various work done here in the ten years I have lived in PB. They have always given me great prices (I check around) and have done great work, never had an issue on their completed work. I do get some work done in other places, but the Midas in PB is always a mechanic that I used to compare prices with when it comes to my truck.

My muffler was making some noise and took my car to this Midas muffler place. The service writer was very thorough and gave me a really nice explanation on what my cars problem was. He also gave me a couple of options to correct the problem. But it came down to a new muffler. They got the car repaired and with all the add ons the total cost was a little on the high side.

How do you put a value on peace of mind? All I can say is that I was so pleased with the Team at this particular Midas location, I had my son bring in his car the next day and will refer anyone I know there also. Bottom line...this is an honest repair shop with the skills to maintain my cars correctly and a strong eye on saving me money when possible.

This place has so much potential. Simple shop doing simple maintenance at good prices. Never hurts to check online for any extra special coupons that may help. The staff has great customer service and walk me through the process from start to finish thank you so much for all the help.

The gentleman at the counter was not very friendly but the real issue was the quote was very expensive. Go to Dualtone exhaust instead. Its 5 minutes away, they charged me $300 less, were very polite and literally had me on the ramp in 2 minutes. Trust me.

I had a great experience getting my car diagnosed and repaired here. The mechanic Rich was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and the service representative was very friendly and helpful as well. They got me in right away for an appointment.

Except for being 20 min late to open, they treated me well and did the job quick.
