My loyalty is hard won. Midvale has it. I’ve been taking my vehicles to them for 20 years. They were referred to me by my landlord when I lived in the neighborhood. He had taken his vehicles there for 40 years before that. I have brought all kinds of vehicles. Jalopies. Commuter cars. SUVs. I have never found the owner or the mechanics to be substandard in anyway. All techs are Human. Should a minor mistake or oversight occur, it’s fixed immediately and free. Nothing serious or incompetence whatsoever. At the same time, it’s not a place you’re going to get over. He’s still in business after all these years, right? They know the aftermarket parts business well. How to play the game with warranties. If you want valet service and all the bells and whistles of the dealer, then go to a dealer. If you value honest work for an honest price and practical advice, you can’t go wrong here. If you want fancy, go get fancy. I prefer functional.

Been here twice, great both times. Went for an inspection today. They were quick, and unlike anywhere else I've ever been, there was no list of things to be fixed that were actually fine in the first place. Thanks folks!

Needed a new tire. They got me a tire and installed it for a reasonable price. I knew they didn’t stock tires and would need to order it, so it would likely be the next day (not same day). They confirmed when I dropped it off in the morning that it would likely be the next day until it was ready, which was fine with me. All worked out according to plan, and I had my car back the next day with the new tire. My only small complaint was slow communication. When I dropped off my car, we weren’t 100 percent sure that they could get the tire next day, and I asked them to call and confirm that they could once they called their supplier and placed the order. (If it was going to be two days, I wanted to try to go someplace where I could get it next day.) They didn’t call me, so I called them later than afternoon. When I did, I learned that everything was in order; tire was ordered, would arrive and be installed next day. So no issues, but it would have been nice if they had called earlier to confirm everything was in order so I didn’t need to worry. Again, minor complaint, still 4 stars!

Finally found a trustworthy auto mechanic !! They’ve kept my car rolling for years and they’re always at least 1/2 of what others charge sometimes even less than that. First found them after to a different mechanic down the street who charged me $1500 for a repair that broke again in 1 week. Came here they fixed it for $200 and it’s never broke again now 2 years later they’re my one and only stop for any car maintenance!

Horrible I took my car to this place and kept having to take my car back to this place due to issues that they couldn't get right. I took my car to this place to see why my check engine light was in why my gas cap light was on and why my vehicle kept shaking after i would drive it pass 65mph. They gave me a tune up did a intake manifold on my vehicle etc and still couldn't fix it.Fast forward to now and im still having problems with my car. The parts that they put on my weren't no good because because currently have my car a another job for the same issues that I had. All I wanna say is this place took alot of my money to not fix any of my issues that was wrong with my car. I wouldn't never go back to this place. Each time they claim they fix the problem I found my self back there the next couple days for something else that they did. Never again...Never ever ever again. And that was my experience at this place.

I came to Midvale Auto after being ripped off by multiple local auto shops. I have never had a bad experience here.The relief I have knowing if something happens to my car, its not going to be a big deal is really comforting. Always a fair price and polite transactions. They take care of me, And I 100 percent recommend them to anyone tired of dishonest service elsewhere.

My husband and I were having break issues while we were about to leave town for a big work trip. Not only did the team at Midvale understand our panic, but they looked at our car within minutes, explained what was happening, and discussed all our options. They were honest and made us feel comfortable, speaking to us like neighbors or family and not customers. We’ll be back every time we need car help and are so thankful this place exists.
