Very honest, professional, polite service here. Tracy is the best. I had an issue today that I figured would cost me a few bucks, months after I had some lines replaced here. She didn’t charge me and told me my current issue was under warranty. I was shocked and delighted. I highly recommend this shop. Thanks.

OG of Midas in Coram is your most valuable employee. I have been to other locations in the past and have never received such professional and amazing service! From the moment I pulled up he provided excellent customer service, diagnosed my vehicle issue quickly, and fixed my vehicle EVEN THOUGH the store was about to close. His high level of professionalism and skill should be recognized. OG Is the best and I will be back to this location for my vehicle needs ONLY if he is working.

I have had nothing but excellent experiences here. They have always been fair and honest, and have always provided me with solutions and advice on car care when Im in a bind. I wont bring my car anywhere else for maintenance, service, and repairs.

This place is bad... no proper communication... dropped a vehicle off for service and received a quote for about $200. Dropped off the vehicle around 11:00 AM, got a phone call and message 5:26 PM stating the vehicle was not finished and would be ready the next day. Spoke to personal Saturday morning and was told it was a little harder to the seasoned tech and would be finished later. I went to pick up the vehicle and was handed a $450. bill. Asked why I wasnt notified of an increase and was told that they left a message that it was harder but nothing about more money. I understand that during these trying and difficult times its hard to have proper communication skills. this is just a sad sad story ... I definitely would not recommend this place

I happened to be passing this Midas shop when the tire light on my dash lit up.The guy was so nice. He checked my tires, filled them properly and taught me how to reset the light so it could be recalibrated.I expected he might charge me - but he didn’t.That says a lot. If I lived nearby, I would always bring my car here!Thanks.

Tried to sell me an entire exhaust system that was not needed. Did a 6 sleeve the weld on it in my opinion was sub standard. Im a welder and know a good weld when I see one. Would not go back for that reason. Staff was very courageous.

My car ran over a metal pipe on the LIE and it started making all sorts of weird noises. The owner of this Midas was able to quickly figure out that my driveshaft was broken. Since I was more than an hour away from home and it was too late in the afternoon to get a new part, he figured out a creative way to get my car running well enough to get me home. The price for this repair was very reasonable. This Midas was super clean and the staff did a great job with making customers feel comfortable despite worries about the pandemic. They also went the extra mile by locating a Midas closer to my home that would finish the repairs, and they also followed up by phone to make sure I made it home safely.

I went to this location because earlier this year they replaces my rear brakes. Even though they were expensive they did a great job. Yet, I am extremly disappointed to see zero staff wore mask. The place had nothing clean about it. Customers had no requirement to wear mask and their was a since of irrogance and proudness about that and people at risk. I walked a few miles in each direction in the pouring rain to not stay in the waiting room. I worked in maintenance shops severals years of my life. No place has to be kept so dirty. Plus which has nothing to do with the above - their costs have risen. Not worth the health risk or price. Yet great receptionist - kind to all people.

Brought my car in For an inspection. They said I would need a new back brakes in order for it to pass inspection and had a leak in my transmission couldnt tell me where it was coming from until I spent $85 to clean around transmission. So we got the brakes done because I needed you to be inspected as soon as we pulled out of the shop ABS brake lights went on didnt bring it back but called them right away two days later when did bring back they said it wasnt there fault it was some sensor I guess possible but I wonder why it happened as soon as they did the brakes. So I took the car to a transmission place they said it was a washer which is where the transmission was leaking and mustve been really recent cost me $20.I have zero proof they did anything to the break sensor or the transmission it just seems really shady especially the brake light three minutes after they did the brakes. So just be careful

!!!DO NOT COME HERE!!! This place will trick you and scam you. I needed new front breaks and rotors so I had those replaced. He also cleaned my back breaks for me as well (which I did not ask for) When he was all finished with my front breaks, I left the place and immediately heard squeaking. The lady at the front desk told me there would be some squeaking for the first week or so because the breaks have to settle in. I brought the car back in because the squeaking would not stop. and now they are telling me I need back breaks and that the squeak was coming from the back and not the front which made me so confused at first but now I know what they did. They did a full break evaluation the first time and all they said I needed was front breaks. When they cleaned the back breaks they did something to them so I could take it back there and spend more money. They charged me $540 for breaks, rotors, and a rear break wash that I did not ask for. and then tried getting me to replace my drums and shoes for another $700-800. These people do not care about you they just care about ripping you off. These people WILL mess up more parts of your car to get you to come back and spend more money. Please be aware.

CROOKS! I noticed my brakes start squealing 2 days ago. It has 40000 miles on it. I took it to one place that told me I needed new pads and rotors all the way around. They offered to show me the wear while it was still up on the hoist, so I looked, didnt see any abnormal wear, but Im no expert and told them that I wanted to get another opinion. Besides, in my experience, if you change the pads when they first start squealing you dont do much damage to the rotors. Today, I took it Midas Centereach because I have dealt with Midas in Canada (my home) in the past. They told me that the front brakes looked good, but the back needed new pads and rotors. I figured that I must have been wrong about the rotors and told them to go ahead, but that I would like to see the parts after. Once all work was done, they showed me rotors that were VERY corroded, pitted and worn. I am 99% sure they werent the rotors I saw on my vehicle yesterday, instead probably rotors they had pulled off some high mileage vehicle that had been abused. If the mechanic at the other place had showed me that kind of wear I would have had them switched in a second, and when I said I was getting another opinion, why wouldnt he point out the most possible wear to convince me to trust him!?!? Please dont make the same mistake as I did, avoid this place!!

I don’t understand the bad reviews. The wonderful young lady at the front is always so sweet. Tommy the owner is always honest. It may hurt my wallet but at least I know once it’s fixed it will be done right. Ive never had an issue on anything he’s worked on. It’s a busy shop, i’m amazed at how many people came in and wanted things done right away and thought they were more important than everyone else who made appointments.

After getting my car serviced by the dealer, they recommended a change of my rear brake pads and rotor. I called midas for a quote and requested a quote via website. In 2 hours, I got a call with a quote. Very Impressive. I dropped it off first thing in the morning (8am) and was done around 1030. Good service and Tracey was super friendly!

With the way the roads are on this island my vehicle was bound to break. Honest and upfront in telling me what needed to be done. Seems like a lot of the negative reviews are people out of touch with reality. Cars cost money, you get what you pay for. Repairs are the same way. Thank you Midas! she runs like a beauty now!

Called for a safety inspection for a 2013 car and an oil change, I was told the day prior my appointment was at 11:30 am and I would wait for the services to be performed as opposed to leaving my car there. I arrived at the shop at 11:31 am, it took the receptionist over 15 minutes to get to me (there was nobody else waiting to speak to her besides myself). At that point I was asked my information to pull up the appointment; the information was provided to her. She asked me are you dropping off the car? I explained to her I would prefer to stay with my vehicle as past experience has taught me; an oil change takes about 10 - 15 minutes, and a safety inspection on a car thats ONE year old takes another 10 - 15 minutes.Her response is oh you want to wait, this process takes 2 - 2 1/2 hours Are they kidding me?!So what is the point of taking the appointment if youre not going to perform the services at that specific time, additionally; How in the world could it take 2 - 2 1/5 hours. I smell a shop that wouldve created things that needed to be corrected. I assure you, my car is literally; 14 months old and has 15,100 miles...what a joke.STAY AWAY from these crooks!Please keep in mind though; Midas is a franchise, so dont let crooks like these steer you from trusting another Midas shop.

Ridiculous price,$800, for an easy fix. Left without having work done. Did myself in an hour, under $50.

Review №26

Came in for an oil change and inspection, as my regular shop doesnt do inspections. I was told me I needed new front brake pads, rear shoes, and wheel cylinders. Quoted over $700 for what should be half of that price (again, just pads, shoes, and cylinders, no rotors or resurfacing). I replaced the pads and shoes, but the cylinders were bone dry. One of my front calipers was seized, I suppose that could have caused the fluid leak, so ill give them the benefit of the doubt, and I appreciate that they didnt run the inspection before telling me about the brakes . But thats a pretty steep quote... if youre not comfortable doing your own work, you may want to call around.

BEWARE!!! Lied to me about the parts my car needed and charged me $100 to perform a fake diagnostic service, told me they wouldnt align my car without selling me tires and wouldnt give me my car back unless i paid them the $100. Theives.

DO NOT GO HERE!! SCAM ARTISTS, BEWARE!! I called and said my brakes were bad but that i would take care of that and I had a drivetrain issue if i dropped it off could they let me know how bad of an issue the drivetrain was so i could decide if its worth it to do any of the work. No problem drop it off. So I do, he calls me back and says you have a brake issue so we cant diagnose it unless you let us fix the brakes first. Are you kidding me!!! I told you that!! Now they want me to pay them for telling me that otherwise I cant pick up my car.STAY AWAY!!!!!!!
