This review is long overdue, as I had gotten this work done about 6 months ago, but after reading other reviews I had to share my experience. Sorry for the length, but I want to be thorough! My exhaust pipe had broken clean apart. Long story short I went to a mechanic in Merrick and, after looking at the break, he wanted to charge me $1100 JUST for parts because he wanted to replace the entire exhaust system. I know a good deal about cars and I knew it was total BS - what he should have said is "I dont know how to weld." Heres where Midas comes in. I drove straight to Midas and they saw I was clearly desperate (my car sounded like a Formula 1 and moved like a slug). They inspected everything with me and aside from the break, there were 3 other cracks throughout the exhaust and my flex pipe was coming apart, AND I had a massive oil leak. They were able to weld everything, replaced my flex pipe, replaced my oil pan (it had cracked) for much less than what I was quoted elsewhere, even with the added on work. And all of the work is guaranteed. Ive only had to patch it once shortly after it was done because, as they explained, the pressure in the pipes increased because it was all sealed now and weak spots in the pipe were likely to crack. And they fixed that, no charge. I was so happy they were able to work with me, so I wound up spending the $1100 anyway because my car needed some TLC. When I picked up my car, they showed me all of the work they did. I go to them for all maintenance and repairs that I cant, or dont feel like doing, myself. And they respect when I decline having work done because I can do it myself. Not pushy at all, and they didnt try to rip me off.

We went for an inspection. They refused to pass us because we had a nail in a new tire. The nail was at least an inch into the tread from the side wall but they wanted to sell us a tire anyway. They basically held us hostage because now we did not have a sticker as they scraped it. We went to another place and they passed it but informed us that the brakes were bad. The thing is we knew we needed brakes and were all to happy to pay for them. These crooks didnt even bother to do the inspection and try to get legitimate work in stead of trying to rip us off. CROOKS and DOPES at the same time. Two good reasons to go somewhere else.

STAY AWAY!!! I brought my car there to see what the problem was with my car, had Mike, nice guy but didnt fix my problem, told me it was my mass airflow sensor, fix the problem half way. When He called me to tell me what the problem was he told me that it was the mass airflow sensor and to fix it and not have it occur again it would have to be a non after market part, I said ok do it and costed me $500 total. First he couldnt fix the problem and didnt give me any discount because he couldnt fix it. Second I find out later its an after market part, after he told me he wasnt going to do that.

As someone who generally does 90% of all their own car work, this place is pretty good. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, they dont try to rip you off. If you want, they can buy you the most expensive parts for the car (OEM), or find the cheapest aftermarket brand to get the job done. I dont have any experience with the previous owner of the shop. The place is now own by an engineer from what Ive been told. Remember, a clean shop will always tell you the quality of work they do and theres plenty of dirty shops around Seaford.

Took my car in for inspection and was told it failed because of breaks. The car has 29k mileage on it. Recently took to get an oil change (12/29/16)and had everything checked. There was no break pad issue. So I declined to get my inspection done. Paid $37 and when I left they took my inspection sticker off. Why take of my inspection ticket if I am not getting it done from you. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM!!!!!!!! I should have checked other reviews before I went in. I see that the same thing was done to someone else as well.

Drop my wifes car off at 930ish for a simple oil change. At 235 in the afternoon I have yet to find out when it will be done. They have also tried to tell me that the same car needs back breaks and that a different car I brought on another day needed struts and shocks which I found out on both occasions that neither were needed so that was a lie, so they try and rob you. By all means AVOID THIS LOCATION!!!

PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THEM. THEY ARE THIEFS. THIEFS. RIP YOU OFF. THEY TOOK OUT MY PERFECT WORKING CAT CONVERTOR AND PUT IT THE ONE WHICH CAUSED MY FUEL ECONOMY WENT DOWN THE DRAIN. MY CAR HAD MANY ISSUES AFTER THAT TRIP. I HAD TO GO TO HONDA DEALER TO CLEAN THE MESS. I ADVISE STRONGLY NOT TO GO THERE. BURN YOUR VEHICLE BUT DONOT GO THERE. YOU ARE WARNED.

Randomly found this spot, but Im glad I did! They helped with my minor brake issues, but I couldnt believe how many promotions they had on the walls. Surprisingly friendly staff for a car garage, and they really know their stuff. Loved the prices and quality of service, so needless to say... Ill be back.

total upsell for what my wife DIDN"T need (she told me about it before she went for it.) And they lied to her about the state of her air filter and oil...Told her they rotated her tires. but they didnt. (I know this because there was a problem with one of her tires) be careful

Went there for front brakes, they did a good job, fair price, found them to be professional. Asked them about why all the negative reviews, they stated they were under new ownership and bad reviews were from old ownership. There is a big " under new ownership" sign out front.

Shady pricing. Lowered price by $200 after a little negotiation. Probably installed cheap parts. Tried to charge me for a "nail" but it was a tiny shard of metal less than an inch in a brand new tire. New labor/sales guys. Do not pay the first price without talking them down.

Horrible service. I never walk out of there for under $500 i only use them because they are across from the train station. The last time I was there they caused more damage to my car that I came in with. I will never go back there again.

I have brought my car in several times due to the extremely convenient proximity to my home, and have been thoroughly disappointed by their incompetence virtually every time. Im officially done with this place.

Too pushy. Will try to up-sell to make more money off of you. Tried to change me $300 for a $50 job. Helping a customer should come first. Happy customers, happy business.

Great prompt service! Good service is so rare, that I had to tell everyone
