PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS REVIEW. IT IS FOR SURE WORTH IT!!!!! Well, the first time I went to see these guys, they took a look at my car and said the reason for it starting sometime and not other times was because of my battery. Mind you I bought the battery less than four years ago or no more than four. Anywho, took it to a couple other places and found it was my starter, my battery tested fine at every other shop besides Midas! So, I go again to take my car and this time its my muffuler pipe that rusted and fell apart leaving the muffler hanging from the middle of the car. According to Midas again I need this whole new brake line! Front ends and so forth. Go to two new places and Terre Haute and get told the same thing at those two places but completely different from Midas. Prices for the battery were in between $90-$120 plus the $30 something dollar fee. Got my starter put in with for free of course with warranty at one of the other shops. They only wanted $100-$150 with out it. For the brake lines and muffler today the total was $780+ before taxes. Go down the street and spend less than $50 for what the problem really was. Even after an estimate from FOUR different shops, somehow Midas tops it by even going over $600. I come to find out by many today while visiting different shops for estimates that, the tall guy Ryan is the owner and his daughter who calculates all the lovely prices at the desk on the computer, with his wife somewhere involved ..all get a cut of commission. It may be true, may not be but where else do these RIDUCULOUS prices come from? The prices dont even cost that much in Auto Parts stores! Take it how you want people, but believe me, those prices are crazy and those people can careless. Have a nice one, hope this is helpful!

Do not use this place to get any work done on your car. I told this company three times that I had a soft pedal. First I got an estimate for a soft pedal on the internet. Then I brought the car in and they offered to do a full brake inspection, I agreed but specifically wanted them to find what was causing the soft pedal. I even talked to the mechanic and explained the problem. I was called about thirty minutes later and they told me I needed new front brakes. Then they called me again and stated I needed new bearing. I told them to fix the problem and upon returning, they stated I had a soft pedal. They even put on the invoice that they new the soft pedal was a result of a leak in the rear cylinder. This company knew the issue I was having and instead of fixing it, they fixed a bunch of stuff that had no issue. I emailed customer service and they never replied to my concerns. I then had to call customer service. The owner of the shop called and argued with me for thirty minutes, even told me he personally had my brake fluid flushed (which was a complete lie because I asked the mechanic and he told me they dont check the brake fluid after they change the brakes). I ended up having to spend an additional 200 dollars to get the car fixed. This company does not care about its customers safety. All they care about is getting as much money out of you as possible.

ZERO STAR!!! Well lets first start with the actual job done here. I had full brake replacement of everything but front rotors and brake booster. Here is were my real issue starts. I recieved the truck back and didnt notice till I had gotten home that the door lock/window switches were pushed into the door panel and out of place, it is mid February I wasnt rolling the windows down just noticed as I was opening the door to get out. I called and the "owner" as claimed said that he test drove it and it seemed fine when he looked at it. However these are lies because he would have had to of looked at it to roll the window down because the window button has to be pressed down to go up and vice versa, I still have to look to make sure Im pressing the right one and I have had the truck forever. He said that he would put it back in place but if the door panel needed new door fasteners that I would have to pay for them! The door panel wouldnt have needed taken off if they had not pushed in the switches! Such terrible customer service! Wish I could give a ZERO STAR!

I took my vehicle there because I was having issues with my 4WD. They gave me a price, and I thought ok it isnt too bad. I saved up to get this taken care of, and made an appointment they gave me a different price much higher than the last. I didnt have that paper with me, and not really certain where it was. My thought was you would think they would have it on record. I paid the extra money. I went back to them, because my husband said he never had a problem before. I figured I would give them another chance I paid for brand new tires through them. I have had issues 4 times now with having a hole in the tire the same tire. I have only had them a couple months. It isnt their fault I ran something over by no means, but I have never had issues with tires not even old worn out tires! I guess the tread or whatever wasnt that great. I am not an expert in tires, but they should back their products if it is only a couple more months old!! I WILL NOT GO BACK THERE EVER AGAIN!!!

CAUTION! RIP OFF ARTISTS! This shop claimed that all four of my rotors needed replaced, the back drums were locked up, and the front brakes needed replaced. They said it would cost nearly $400! They warned that with "the back drums being locked up", they might break a wheel cylinder or something, so if that happened that would cost more. When I asked what it would cost to only do the front, they gave me a quote of $279. I refused to allow them to do the work. The next day, I took my van to Steve Fishers Auto Service in North Terre Haute. Steve said the rotors only needed turned, the back was 70% still good, and he replaced the front brakes. He broke a lug bolt and replaced it. HE CHARGED ME $169 total! He even showed my husband all the parts after the fact. Midas can get bent! Worst 20 bucks I ever spent! I want my money back!!!!

I went to get my brakes checked here, because the diagnosis was cheap. They pulled my back tire off to find that my whole drum, and a few other brake parts were missing. They were going to chrage me over $700 to fix it. I said no and did some research to find that the parts i need are only $200. They are WAY overpriced. After they put my tires back on, they put the hub cap on one of my tires just right to let air out. I got about 2 miles before my tire was completely flat. I heard hissing so i thought i had a popped tire. When i pulled the cap off the hissing stopped. Theyre awful, and dont know what theyre doing. On a side note the car i have i bought fromoneof they guys who works there and it was a bad choice on my part because the car needs parts and the brake problem fixed and he didnt tell me about it saying the car was fine.
