I took my SUV to the local Midas where I had been hivung it worked on for 3 years without complaint. I took it in for work and got an estimate, when the work was done the cost was exactly 100 dollars more according to the asst.

Mgr., I complained to the Mgnager who had given the estimate, he "red faced" deducted the 100 dollars. The last time I took in the car for service, I was told the "air filter was black with dirt", I told them I wanted to see it and they then brought it out to me to look at. It was fine aas I looked at it while holding up to the light. They caharge me the "Flat rate of 96 dollars for 6 minutes of work to change out the belt and doubled the cost of what the belt cost to purchase at the parts store they use, (I checked).

When I brought this to the attention of the manager, he said the store was in an "high cost area, so they had to make ends meet.

Needless to say, never again will I trust they folks who seem to think they can rip off customers as they can get away with it. STAY AWAY FROM MIDAS.....

Monetary Loss: $300.

Location: Locust Valley, New York

Midas Seaford has not changed.

WORST EXPERIENCE.

Took over 2 hrs for "simple" NYS Inspection.

Declined "recommended" service and tech broke the hoses. Can't trust them. Rip off mechanics.

I will be posting photos on Facebook to warn other customers to make other selections.

What's worse than politicians?

CROOKED MECHANICS who work at MIDAS

Two of the posts are almost the same things I heard from the Mgr and ***'t Manager in the Midas Shop.

Ya think they are answering back? As I understand, this is a forum for Pissed Consumers, not for alibi ikes to refut something they know nothing about....

However this is America and they have a right to speak. I fought in two wars to defend that right.

Oh how I love this argument...........

I can goto wal-mart and buy a pound of hamburger for $2-$3..........now, how much do you suppose McDonalds would charge me

you CANT compare discount parts stores to retail repair shops...

that being said, Midas does seam to be very high (as compared to most other shops)on thier parts mark-up, but hey, if you dont like it, DONT GO THERE! :grin

Guest

Agreed. Another good point.

How does any business make a profit selling products for what they pay. Use your head

Guest

If it took 6 minutes to replace the belt why didn't you just do it yourself? If it was so much cheaper at the parts store, why didn't you save yourself a bunch of money and installed it yourself!

If you can't or won't install it yourself, you are not allowed to complain.

Next time you go to the doctor or the dentist start complaining that he charges too much and see how well that goes. You cheap loser.
