Never had an issue here. Great for quick needs, like a few hours for an oil change, scheduling an inspection, new tires. I have never received detailed work here- but it’s great using the Midas credit card to cover basic upkeep on my car! I’d recommend for your day to day car needs.

The guys were super friendly. The service was fast and high quality. It was a pleasure doing business there. I will definitely be coming back.

Don't come here! I took my truck here for an oil change and a diagnostic. They forgot to actually put oil in my truck and resulted in my engine blowing.

Great mechanics but their prices are extremely high. This is now my last choice for my automotive service work.

On December 1, 2024, I visited Midas to address several issues with my Cadillac Escalade. The vehicle displayed brake service warnings, traction control, and Stabilitrak alerts, along with a squealing sound that I suspected was due to worn brakes. Joseph Rosario greeted me with professionalism and care. Due to their busy schedule, he suggested scheduling an appointment for the following morning, which we did. December 2, 2024: I arrived early as the third customer of the day and was again met by Mr. Rosario, who remembered my name and vehicle details—a great demonstration of excellent customer service. After handing over my keys, I waited in the lobby. About an hour into my visit, Mr. Rosario called me over to explain the diagnostic findings. The $165 diagnostic scan revealed: The right front caliper was seized. The hydraulic brake fluid was near empty. The front brake pads were completely worn out. I authorized the repairs after confirming with Mr. Rosario said that no additional paperwork was required before work began. However, I asked if I could source parts from Advance Auto Parts, located just across the street. Mr. Rosario explained that Midas does not use customer-supplied parts due to warranty concerns. During my time in the lobby, I observed a man wearing a two-tone blue coat that I initially assumed worked for Advance Auto Parts. He was carrying what appeared to be parts, including boxes for rotors and brake pads. He entered the Midas garage directly without stopping at the front desk, where other customers typically check in. Upon reflection, it’s unclear whether this individual was a worker from Advance Auto Parts or a Midas employee wearing a jacket over his uniform. However, the interaction strongly indicated that Midas and Advance Auto Parts collaborate on parts procurement, raising questions about why customers are discouraged from providing their own parts when Midas sources them from the same place. The repair work began at 10:38 AM and concluded with a road test by 12:26 PM. The total parts cost was $229.97, and labor totaled $525.50 (including the $165 diagnostic fee and $180/hour labor for two hours). Mr. Rosario provided me with a $40 manager’s discount, which I appreciated. However, it’s worth noting that my military discount could have reduced the parts cost further if I had been allowed to source them myself. Additionally, I wasn’t asked to sign any agreements before the work began, but I was required to sign twice at the end—once on the service description and once for payment acknowledgment. Presenting this information upfront would have added transparency to the process. Pros: Excellent customer service, especially from Mr. Rosario. Timely and quality repairs. Manager’s discount provided as a goodwill gesture. Cons: Lack of transparency regarding parts sourcing and warranty policies. Ambiguity around the collaboration between Midas and Advance Auto Parts. No upfront service agreement was presented before work began. Despite these concerns, Midas resolved my vehicle's issues effectively and professionally. I appreciate Mr. Rosario’s attentiveness and the team’s quality work. Thank you for your service!

I live in an area where they randomly decided to car about car inspections. Knowing mine was past due, I was ticketed in front of my own him for past inspections. Because of my job it was crucial I got it fixed that day. Joe, the gentleman on the desk was the one who first took my call. He explained that they could get me in that day and even went so far to explain the changes going on that made this random ticket appear. When I got my car to the shop, Joe was already waiting on me so he could take it in. The inspection found a few extra things that needed fixed and because of the surprise urgency, funds were low. Joe explained in detail all of my options and even helped me get approved for financing. This is my second year in a row I’ve come to this location for my inspection needs and Joe and the rest of the staff is why I can I will certainly be back. As someone that works in hotels, I understand how easy it is for someone to come on reviews to complain but rarely does anyone leave a review about how excellent their interactions were and this experience was so above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of that I highly suggest this place be taken into consideration and used when “inspection shopping”. Thank you Joe.

My mom and i needed an inspection and Joe Rosario gave us the best experience we could ask for. Was very knowledgeable and patient. Will definitely being coming back and telling my friends about Midas. 😊

Awesome service- very thorough, courteous, cost efficient, and timely. Great location!!

Booked appointment online for 1-3 for inspection. I get there and they say at least a few hours. They had to accept the appointment a few hours prior so they knew they were behind by then. Would not recommend.
Nov 07, 2024
Everybody here is so friendly and helpful but Jake is literally an angel! He is so good he makes you feel like you owe him. I’ve been here couple of times so far and I will never ever consider to go somewhere else.

Excellent service, no long waiting time and friendly staff

Had brakes checked for free. Was given good advice. I am making an appt for inspection right now.
Nov 07, 2024
Helpful with my vehicle as best they can. I still need help with it but it's because my vehicle is old
Nov 07, 2024
Oil change took over an hour. Just go to Valvoline or pennzoil… they would save you time!

Appointment was flexible for me. Car completed in a timely fashion. Thanks so much to Samuel with great customer service skills and professionalism in explaining important details also providing rational options for me. Went above and beyond for me.

I should have read the reviews before coming here. I called earlier in the week about getting an inspection sticker for a brand-new car I just purchased out of state. I let them know I could come in after work in the week if it would be better than the weekend. The gentlemen on the phone told me Saturday would be fine and booked me an appointment for 11am. I got there and was told I would need an inspection in PA even though they inspected it in NC 2 weeks earlier when I purchased the car, paperwork showed it, Carfax shows the record of it with my VIN #, etc. But alright, fine, no problem. 2.5 hours later we noticed my vehicle hadn't been moved. NO ONE communicated anything to me, I asked what the progress on my vehicle was for a basic inspection - they THEN pulled my vehicle in AFTER I asked. Who knows how long it would have been if I didn't say something. We watched multiple people who checked in after us get their services and leave before my basic state inspection (mind you, it's a 2024 vehicle) I watched them pull it in the shop and 10 minutes later they told me they were done (after I asked the guy how long it would be and he told me an additional 20-30 minutes) The lack of communication is astounding to me, they said the vehicle before me was a 10am appointment and took longer - when I questioned what was the point of me making an appointment for it to still take that long. I wouldn't have been so upset if anyone would have communicated that during my 2.5 hour wait. Then for it to take TEN MINUTES to inspect my vehicle?? That seems very suspicious, they had no problem charging me $90 for those 10 minutes though. I will never be back to this location - I advise others look at other companies in the area for such a simple service. Based on other reviews I'm not the only one who has had this type of experience with a huge lack of customer service at this location.

Brought my Rav 4 in to have the brakes changed, while driving home, the car made a horrible crunching noise when braking. Took it straight back and they apologized and fixed it right away, over the course of the next few weeks, I realized the car wasn’t braking right and that they hadn’t bled the brake lines. At this point I didn’t bother taking it back and I will never consider going back again. Give midas 10/10 if you want to bring them a safe car and have them turn it into a death trap for you.

Ever since this place got new management it’s been great, Joe & Sam made me feel very comfortable with leaving my car there. I needed my brakes replaced because they were getting bad, I’ll definitely be coming back again when I need more work done!!
Sep 07, 2024
Failed safety inspection for my control arm and quoted over 600 bucks. Second opinion from a different shop with better reviews said he didn't see anything wrong with it. I don't trust the Midas touch. All they touch is your wallet.

Joe and Sam have been an excellent help with my Mercedes, I was experiencing issues with power steering leakage and needed a tune up, however too many dealerships were denying me due to the Mercedes equipment needed. Joe was able to talk me through what was needed to perform the work on my car and handled it within hours! Excellent service !
Sep 07, 2024
So my car was making a weird sound that I didn’t recognize so I brought it in and Joe and Sam really helped me understand the innnerworking of my car a bit more.While letting me know in what ways they could help me and I could help my own car in my own time.Very much appreciate the advice and help!

Stopped in about a week or so ago, spoke to someone named Joe up front about different noises my car was making. I know nothing about cars but he was able to help me understand the problems & had my car fixed pretty fast. Thank you so much, I will definitely be coming back

This was a decent experience turned into a nightmare. I originally went to this Midas to get my rear rotors and calipers replaced. They did a decent job with that. When I got the car back I noticed that metal caps had been placed on the tire valves. I have never used nor was I even aware that metal caps existed for tire valves. I've always had and used plastic caps. So, when I saw them I was confused but assumed they replaced all my caps because I was missing two. Last week when I went to put air in my tires, I realized that I could not remove the caps. I immediately called Midas. They claimed that they didn't do it but the metal caps were not on the valves when I dropped it off but were on the car when I picked it up. So, I took it back anyway just so they could be removed. They can't get them off and state that my valves would be damaged if they tried to remove them. I left and came back a few days later and stated that I needed them to get the caps off because my tire sensor is blinking, which means I needed to add air to one of the tires. When I take it in, they remove two of the caps and claim that the valves are damaged and I would need to pay about $550 to replace all of them. I stated that they put the caps on and the guy who didn't work on my car insists that they didn't so I left and am in the process of filing a formal complaint. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE. THEY ARE NOT A BUSINESS RUN WITH ANY INTEGRITY.

Very thorough service and texted me when it was ready. I’ll be back.

When i went to get my mothers car checked out, Joe and Sam helped me to feel comfortable trusting them with her car. They checked out her suspension, oil levels, and her breaks and were able to get them working as if they were brand new!! I know exactly where im going when the car starts to act up again

Inspection report was very thorough and will definitely come back here in the future. Great communication as well to help me understand what was necessary versus recommended for my vehicle.

Went to Midas because I was having an issue with my exhaust and they were the only location that could fit me in within the same week. I paid $1,200 for a shoddy job and for me to be poisoned by my own car because of their handiwork. Told me they'd replace all the exhaust pipes due to them completely rusting out, only for me to have an issue arise 2 weeks later and have to take it to another shop. Turns out they failed to replace/correctly weld the pipe connecting to the catalytic converter, causing CARBON MONOXIDE to seep into the cabin, leaving me sick for weeks. The employees are nice enough but I will not be returning and suggest you find a small, reputable shop to do any work past an oil or tire change.
