All I can say is Crooks!. Not trustworthy. Read on to decide yourself. 1. On the phone, I clearly told him the make and model of the car and then he told me it would cost $49.99 for synthetic oil change. When I dropped the car, he again confirmed the same price. But when I got back after having a quick bite, he handed over a bill for $65. When I asked, he said my car had skip plate underneath and he needed to remove it to change the oil, so there was $10 extra change !!!. Hello!, mine was not a special car, it is just one year old Honda Civic and I clearly told the make and model on the phone before he quoted the price and also he saw the car when I handed over the keys and confirmed the price again when I was at the shop. 2. On the bill, he printed different grade of oil. When I questioned, he brushed it away saying their computer printed that for some reason but he filled the synthetic oil of different grade. Yeah, computers have their own mind!... Full of crap...he didnt fill the synthetic oil at all. Complete cheat and ripoff. Never go there.

PATRICK AND HIS STAFF ARE VERY PLEASANT AND PROFESSIONAL. THE SERVICE IS COUTEOUS AND FRIENDLY ( I MEAN NEIGHBORHOOD FRIENDLY) LIKE THE SHOW "CHEERS". Patrick is honest and trustworthy AND has a sense of humor, Yet when it comes to cars , Hes great .ALSO WORKS WITH YOU TO KEEP YOU SAFE WHILE DRIVING,.HIS WORK SPEAKS FOR IT SELF. IVE BEEN HAVING MY CARS FIXED THE FOR OVER FIVE YEARS NOW, AND IVE NOT HAD ONE PROBLEM HE COOULDNT FIX AND WHILE FIXING HE DOES HIS BEST TO KEEP YOU DRIVING ( EVEN IF HE HAS TO LET YOU DRIVE ONE OF HIS LENDERS.) SO YOU CAN GO BACK AND FORTH TO WORK , AND HE CAN GET PAID FOR THE WORK. GREAT GUY, FAMILY MAN AND FRIEND. ID RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE , AND IF HE CANT FIX IT , HE WILL EVEN SEND YOU TO SOME ONE THAT COULD. THATS CHARACTER.

11/1/11 - I am a bit of a cynic by nature, so when it comes to auto mechanics, I generally trust no one except my father-in-law. The problem is that Pats shop is only two doors down from my office and my father-in-law is way out by the airport (and most work requires that you leave your vehicle all day). For almost two years I second guessed every diagnosis they made on my 3/4 ton Ram truck––every single time they (Midas) came up clean! Very fair pricing. Honest diagnosis. Fast, quality work. I take my truck there and also my wifes Magnum (yes, my wife drives a Hemi :) 7/27/12 - update - When you get your oil changed, is it true that if you grease the fittings every time youll damage the seals? Pat said it is.

I went in for an inspection. The owner gave me a ride to and from work. They called two hours later to let me know what needed to be fixed to pass inspection and other issues that might arise. They allowed me time to check out the validity of the items they wanted to repair. In the end I received a control arm bush replacement, inspection, marker bulb replacement, and an oil change for under $200. Last yer I took my car to a different place for inspection and received the same service on the opposite control arm and a different light for well over $200 (and that is minus the oil change). I highly recommend this location. They are fast, personable, and honest. I will absolutely go back there again.

Horrible service. I called for an alignment and they gave the wrong quote over the phone. When I arrived I was told an alignment was $20 more when I asked why man yelled from the back and said giver her a brake she is new. I really needed an alighnnent so i still had them do it. That was a big mistake. I drove from buffalo to ithaca and something felt off when I got home. The steering wheel was tilted more to the left when I tried driving straight. I then looked under my truck and noticed my bolt above the sleeve to my outer tie rod wasnt tight. I called Pat and let him know what happened and he told me get lost and wouldnt fix the problem or give me a return.

brought my jeep in to replace rear axle seals. Next day the seals were leaking worse than they were when i brought the truck in, enough that there was a puddle of differential fluid around my tire. i brought it back in, and the mechanic tried to tell me another shop must have done the work and put one of the pieces in backwards. They were the only ones to tough the rear axle seals in the 3 years I have had the truck. they refuse to take responsibility. Now the same seals are leaking again after only 1 week. NEVER will i trust this company to service my vehicles. Would NOT recommend them to anyone for any reason. Dont waste your time or money.

My wife and I were in the middle of a long road trip when we pulled off the highway in Buffalo at about 5:10 pm only to hear an awful sound of metal on metal. Did a quick internet search for the closest mechanic and found Midas. They got us right in and confirmed that the front brake pads were entirely gone and had already cut into the rotors. They got the parts needed and installed them within the hour, this after they had already closed for the day. Fast service, the work as far as I can tell at this point was done well, and he made sure that everything was right for us to finish our trip out without much delay. Thanks for everything

Biggest mistake of my life was taking my car to this shop. After paying $1180 manager refuses to give me any receipts because im a MUSLIM . I have filed a complaint against this location with the department of Motor Vehicles and will be filing a lawsuit against midas. Manager also treats his employees like dirt. Especially the spanish kid Chavez poor kid gets yelled at over the phone and in front of the customers. Entering this shop i feel like im going backwards in time back to the slave days

midas @ 315 Niagara St in Buffalo has been working on my car since i first bought it brand new in 2007. Patrick has always been extremely reasonable with not only myself but the other people i have referred to him throughout the years. He has even handled a situation from a cruise ship while in the middle of the ocean that i was having. he has picked me up and also has delivered my finished car to me at my work/home> i dont know of a more reliable mechanic in the city of Buffalo.

These guys are awesome. I went in for an oil change & tire rotation without an appointment. They were short staffed and at first said they were done with oil changes for the day, and asked if I could come back the next day. I explained that I was going out of town for the weekend, so they took me anyway! I told them not even to worry about the tire rotation, but they did it anyway! Chaz and Bobby were super helpful, and I really appreciated their generosity.
