My friend was quoted $1700 at Younker Nissan to fix an exhaust noise. Apparently, the service writer saw a single woman and quoted an entire exhaust system. Midas, however, found an improper weld was broken on the flex pipe. They repaired it and took 90 minutes and $180. Honest and open! Based on my experience, I set an appointment to see about a possible torn boot on a CV joint. At the inspection, the mechanic showed me that the boots were both fine, not dried out or torn, so that the joint still had lubrication. He said I didnt need to replace them, unless I wanted to because of noise. The manager, Frank, quoted me a very reasonable cost per side, to completely replace the half-shaft, if I decided to do that in the future. Since we now had time, I asked them to check the air conditioning, saying we might need to look for leaks, vacuum the system, charge it and add leak-detection dye. Instead, the mechanic came back with an inexpensive, dead relay in his hand, that kept my fully charged system from kicking on. He showed me where the relay went and allowed me to buy it later and put it in myself - $6. I went to Frank, the manager, and insisted they charge me some shop labor. $41 and were both feeling that were doing it right.

I used a coupon which promised oil change and tyre rotation for the fair price. 1. Final price was greater, "for your car". 2. I could not get them to do the tyre rotation. They told me a stupid fairytale about "you should have a good tires on back at winter". On FF vehicle! They rejected my wish to do it anyway. If I knew it before, I would not use Midas in that case. 3. I also asked if it possible to repair a tyre and change the spare wheel I used instead, they said yes. But in result they just repaired it and put into the cars trunk. They said they didnt have enough of time and I must do another appointment... If I knew it before, I would not ask them to do it, in consideration of they do it for money, and there is a lot of places where its possible to do it for free.. I will NOT recommend to use them! And Ill never come back.

Frank, was AWESOME! Very Nice, Friendly and helpful! I put in an appointment online in regards to front brakes, within 5 minutes appointment was confirmed with estimated times for inspection and work to be done. Came in, was friendly - the estimated time for inspection was an hour, he called me back, explained the issue, and what other issues there was. Was honest about the price, honest about how long before Id NEED to get things done if not done today. I got 1 of 2 things done today - even gave me a discount! Told me an estimated time it be done for the labor, and was finished an hour before the estimated time! That freakin rocked! Def will be back for part 2 and other things! Made me feel welcomed, helped, wanted and that my money was worth their time and labor.

Stopped in for an oil change. Im from out of town so I dont know the area and I explain as much, gentleman offers to schedule me for tomorrow or the next day. I explain I dont have the time to wait and ask if there are any other places around I could try. His response was that "its hard enough to run one store, you know so I dont know" ok fair enough, flippant but fair. So I asked if I could at least get him to scan the engine light (big painted window says free engine light scan) and he suggested I go find an AutoZone or similar cause they cant do it here. Rude. Unprofessional. Unhelpful. This is why I use brake check back home instead of Midas

Hung up on!! DO NOT go here!! I called to get a quote and was hung up on, INTENTIONALLY! The man asked what engine my van has to which i replied "I believe its a V6." He said "ok" and then was quiet. after about 4 or 5 minutes of silence he comes back and says "do you have the information?" I asked "what information?" Turns out he was wanting me to go get specifics from my van. I told him might have asked me to do that rather than just say ok. He told me not to tell him how to do his job and not to call back or come in and then hung up on me.

I totally enjoyed my time today while my car was being repaired my car was leaking oil really bad my thoughts of high expensive and the fear of not having the money...they showed me the problem a very lose oil fliter. Got a new filter and a oil change.they clean all the oil off from the bottom off my car. I was so happy I went across the street and bought the mechanics a pizza..you need help with your car.let Midas do the job for you...Number one in Renton for sure. Thanks again Midas...

The head guy here ( I believe his name is Frank) is very trustworthy. Hell tell you what you need to get done, and hell do it right. He also doesnt try to upsell you with this or that BS problem like so many mechanics do. Ive gone in several times to check on something that I thought might be a problem only to be told that its normal and no service is needed. How many other mechanics would let you get in and out without at least collecting some fee from you? Definitely recommend.

Great customer service!! I came in to get my oil and transmission fluid changed, only to have the mechanic tell me I wont need my transmission serviced for another 50,000mi - saving me $100! So happy to find an HONEST company that will let you know exactly how to take care of your car, and not try to up-sell me! They even topped off the air in my tires and recommended which gas to put in it. 100% will be coming back, and will recommend to anyone with car troubles.

i just got a used van it had a lot of pre existing problems so when the muffler came apart and was dragging on i5 all i needed was a quick weld job they did a free check on my car they didnt try to sell me anything more than what i asked them too but were happy to explain any questions i had every estimate was decently priced they were very friendly, honest, and helpful they had fast service too but they werent that busy that day:)

I have had nothing but wonderful experiences here. This is where I get my oil changed, and Ive had new tires put on and a few repairs as well. I love knowing I can trust the staff to treat me well, and not try to use "scare tactics" to get me to agree to unnecessary repairs - as Ive had done to me at other repair places. Frank is wonderful, as are his other managers. Highly recommended.

I have been taking my vehicles here for many years. Frank is one of the most trsut worthy mechanics in the business. He tells you his honest opinion and his decisions are always in the best choice for the customer. He helps explains why and how and makes sure you understand what is happening to your vehicle. Great guy. I have never had a problem after they have fixed the issue.
