I had a bracket (hanger) holding on the back part of my muffler that rusted off and broke so I was dragging it. Husband rigged it up so I could drive it over for repairs. I dropped my car off at 11am ,and was told it should take a couple hours. All I wanted was for them to reattach my muffler. First they didnt call me back, I had to call them to find out what the problem was at 4pm. I was told that they tried to call me and left a message with someone during the afternoon. I asked both my husband and son who were home if theyd taken a message for me and was told NO. I had my phone with me all day and it NEVER rang. Then they proceeded to tell me a lot more than just the hanger bracket was wrong with the exhaust so many additional things were going to have to be fixed....and the amount was a little over $900!!! Needless to say I went and picked my car up immediately and took it to MY mechanic that I usually use.(Who I originally called but he was swamped so I thought Id save him the hassle and just try a quick stop to Midas.) He was able to get me in and I told him what Midas quoted me, which additional parts they said I needed fixed. He said that hed check it out and let me know. He fixed my car for $60!! Only needed a connector fitting for exhaust and 2 new hangers! They have worked on my car since I bought it and they wouldve caught those things by now if they were really as bad as Midas claimed. Matter of fact one of the additional items they told me I needed replaced has already been replaced! I have the reciept from my mechanics shop to prove it was already done! Beware girls....do your research because these guys want your money. Ridiculous and insulting.

I had a grinding noise on the drivers side front of the car, brought it in and they said that I need ALL of the breaks redone for a total of $690 dollars! Thats insane, so I asked for a written quote and some of parts were marked up by as much as 60% compared to the PERFORMANCE parts at NAPA. DONT GO TO MIDAS they just want to overcharge you. I even asked if they could lower the cost or if there was anything they could cut out and they said it was all necessary. Ridiculous. Just to make it worse they charge $40 to diagnose the car. FOLLOW UP: I took my car to City Auto Repair in Dekalb and they fixed the problem for $20 dollars! They said that the break shield was rubbing against the rotor, so I fixed a problem for $20 that Midas wanted to charge me $690 for glad I got a second opinion.

I really doubt about the 5-star ratings. I would give an ZERO if it is a choice. The last time I went to Midas they gave me an estimated bill of $790. I went to A1 Auto later and they charged me $60 and fixed the prob. My car works well now. Another time Midas charged my husband $122 to just check the A/C and didnt figure out the prob (they just charge u more as they check different parts), but A1 Auto figured out the prob and didnt charge him anything!! The AC works sooooo well now. As an international student in NIU I recommended A1 Auto to all my Chinese classmates. My professor of Consumer Economics also complained that Midas is TERRIBLE and not honest. People should see my commemt because they need to know the truth.

I would give zero stars if I could. Brought my car in for an oil change, because I had a coupon. Apparently it was for the wrong type of oil change, no big deal, they said it would be a little more expensive. When my car is done, tried to charge me $120. Thats not "a little more". After I tried to tell the woman at the desk she was ripping me off, she said thats typical for a synthetic oil change! Ive gotten my oil changed before, I know thats not typical. I recommend Barb City Automotive. Got my oil changed AND a new air filter for ~$75.

Very helpful and honest. Took my car in for a tire balance as it had a shake. They reviewed the car and told me it was the suspension (only 8K on the new car) and I should take it to the dealership. They could have sold me on the tire balance but were honest enough not to. You dont get that often.

Yes they are a bit pricey on parts but they are honest about what needs to be done and will take you out to the shop to show you. Remember you get a lifetime warranty on breaks and thats part of the cost of a break job.
