I scheduled an appointment for what should have been a simple inspection since it is very close to my work and I had the convenience of making an appointment online. Honestly, the online appointment ability and the close location are the only positive things about Midas.
While the staff I dealt - Ron - was very nice, the pushy up-selling of unnecessary repairs/parts is beyond ridiculous. I have a 2 year old vehicle with low miles and they forced the purchase of wiper blades - yes, wiper blades - to pass inspection even though I was having no issue with my wiper blades and know how and when to replace them!!! In addition to that, charging $90 ($21 from Auto Zone) for a cracked turn signal lense plus labor costs of $25. All in all, my 2 hour appointment took 5+ hours and cost over $200.
Many places take advantage of you when you are female - but from what I have read/experienced - it appears that Midas as a company is an equal opportunity rip off artist with unethical business practices.
I will never return to Midas for any type of service, nor would I recommend anyone to go there for anything because you can never simply have just what you went for taken care of. Get to know your local auto mechanics and skip the national companies. They may not offer coupons or online appointments, but they also won't rip off those in their community. While I am sure the lack of my future business will in no way affect Midas because there will be more suckers (I was one too!) will be lining up for disappointment in their experience.
