Okay, for this particular Midas, I am happy to give everyone there a 5 star rating. The mechanics were very thorough. Fixing my front brakes takes time. And they are now in perfect shape. I will gladly return for other maintenances on my HHR. πŸ‘πŸ˜Š

I hate 90% of mechanics. These guys are opposite to the majority, they are reliable and trustworthy. They keep their word, they honor a given quote. I appreciate their expertise and work ethic. Reggie the store manager has been a joy to work with over the past year. Mike the owner has a few locations and has really maintained a good reputation with me. Ive had issues with a few things assumed to be related, called Mike and he said if its something we did, we will take care of it. To me thats honorable. You cant expect perfection from anyone but you can appreciate effort. These guys go the extra mile to maintain customer relationships. Thanks guys! I appreciate you helping me with my daughters car! In this case particularly, your commitment to excellence shined through like the morning sun!19/8/6 Back again! Came in for a small noise from the rear end, o2 sensor and oil change. They ended up finding my rusted out and broken exhaust hangers were allowing the exhaust to hit the rear end causing the noise. They saved me time and money by repairing one hanger and replacing the other 2. Thankfully they did this, the quick repair saved my flex pipe that connects the engine side of the exhaust to the mid pipe under the car that runs to the rear of the vehicle. Had they missed this repair, it would have damage all of my exhaust system. Could have cost me a thousand dollars! Exhaust can be pricey especially while traveling. Thanks guys! Im finally giving up most of the maintenance on the bottom side of my vehicle, arthritis is getting the best of me. I could not do it without having a reliable shop I can trust. Mike is a dependable owner and maintains the same standard at his Fort Wayne locations. Ive used coliseum and Coldwater. I prefer Coldwater from my experiences.

Ive taken two of my vehicles there for a variety of services and have been very satisfied by the quality of the work. Everything has been reasonably priced and when I couldnt get my hood to close, Reggie even fixed it for free. It took them no time at all but was a major hassle for me. Excellent service and always done well!

Absolute clowns. car came back smelling like cigarette smoke even though I was assured they dont smoke in the shop ;)Was the smoke wafting through the shop to lobby door a hallucination too? I think not. extremely unprofessional.Also almost 500$ for a spark plug replacement (which was rightly refused)Jiffy Lube will do it for 200Tom Kelley Buick for 239I wonder where they got that big ol number from?When considering some of these other negative reviews as well I can confidently tell you to do yourself and your car a favor and avoid this location.

I had an oil change and diagnostic test done which was fine. The diagnostic test was due to my hazard lights coming on by themselves randomly often. Midas informed me to go purchase the hazard switch, but to repair it would take them 3 hours and cost over $200. I purchase the part went to another mechanic they replaced the switch in 15mns and charge less then $30..So they LIED about the repair cost..PLEASE always get a second opinion when u need work done. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

I used to go elsewhere in town before they jacked prices of an oil change up, at which point I gave this Midas a try. That was over 3 years ago and Ive been taking my van there since. From having some of the lower prices in town, to there accommodating scheduling, to the fact they call me out to see the issue before having to make a decision these guys are great. Will continue to rely on this Midas for my future vehicle maintenance needs.

It was horrible, I went there to get new break pads and an oil change. They messed up my oil container and my car was leaking oil and lost all the oil after 2 days and the new break pads didnt work at all, they felt exactly like my old ones. Then since my car ran out of oil it almost ruined my transmission and now I have over $1000 I need to fix on the car.

I had an amazing experience here. I came in for my exhaust and they fixed it right away. Got my truck in the air within 10 minutes of being here. Also told me another issue with my truck I didnt know about. And the price wasnt bad at all. Friendly staff and clean shop.

I made an appointment for an ac inspection and they got me in quickly! When I arrived, they took my car back within minutes! After an assessment was done, I gave the go-ahead to do the work and within an hour it was done. I could tell the employees take great care of not only the car but the customer as well. Just the fact that the shop worker came out to talk to me and addressed me by name was huge. Not many businesss do that anymore. After everything was said and done, I was told that if anything changes anytime soon, then to come back and theyd figure out the issue and not add any extras! Between the work satisfaction and the customer friendly employees, theyll be getting my business from now on.

I went to this location several months ago because I had a bad transmission leak. I needed a new fitting to stop the leak. Started out at $110 but then they told me another hour because they needed to drop the driveshaft and crossmember for more working space. Now $220 for a new fitting and some fluid. Seemed ok for the amount of work.I went to another mechanic for some tune up work to be told that the driveshaft or crossmember havent been messed with by looking at the bolts. I feel like Ive been taken advantage of. With all that said; I still have a fitting leaking transmission fluid that was never worked on but overlooked because of a worse leak.

Every time I come here I am given nothing but excuses. Never real solutions. They seem to always jack up my bill. They never take responsibility for their actions. They charge top rate money for second rate service. I would not recommend this place.

Slowest Midas Ive ever seen. I was there 1st appointment right when they open and was there a few minutes early. The guys literally take my keys and then go on a 10-15 minute smoke break as Im sitting there and can see them. Takes them another 10-15 minutes of standing around before they go get my truck to to pull in. After 45-50 minutes I go out to the garage and stand there. The tech is just texting on his phone smoking another cigarette. Hed already been finished looking at the truck but hadnt bothered to simply tell me they were done. Courtesy check took over an hour.

If it was possible I would give them zero stars. I took my car there because it kept over accelerating in one spot, I told them I think its the transmission. They said my car just needed a tune up so I paid 600 some odd dollars for that. Pulled off car started doing the same thing. Brought it back said it needed a new computer state paid 200 something for that and it didnt work. Finally told me my transmission was slipping which I said from the start and told me I had to pay 2500 for a transmission plus labor on top of the 800 I already paid.

Review β„–54

Was in Ft Wayne for the week visiting familyWhen out of nowhere by brakes locked up this past Saturday morning.I found a Midas near by and decided to try to make it there and have them look into the problem.They found out that my rear caliper was missing a bolt which caused the caliper to fail and lock up my brakes.They put in a new caliper and put everything back together. Reginald the store manager took the car out for a test drive and noticed it was making noise and brought it back into the garage. He took a screwdriver and hit the dust shield a few times thinking that was the problem but to no avail the problem persisted.After asking Reginald (Store Manager) why the brakes were still making β€˜grinding’ noises he said to just drive it and that the noise would gradually go away and if the problem persisted i could go to another Midas and have them check it out since it’s under warranty. I ended up driving all the way back to St Louis with that β€œgrinding’ noise and instead of it getting better and going away it actually got worse. So after making it to St Louis I decided to take it to my local Midas and they immediately figured out the problem. It turns out that the tech ( Eric) at the Fort Wayne Midas put the brake pads in backwards after installing the new caliper. the noise i was hearing the whole time was metal to metal friction. My pads and rotors were completely shot due to them putting in the pads backwards.Not only did the Tech (Eric)screw up big time but Reginald the manager didn’t notice the issue after double checking the work the tech had done. Bottom line their place is a joke and I could of been in a serious wreck due to their negligence.to make things worse when the St Louis Midas contacted the Fort Wayne store to get the an explanation as to what happened Reginald (the manager) told them that I could’ve been the one that swapped the pads backwards on my way back. Words can’t describe how upset I am about this whole situation.The reason I decided to write this review is to keep others from having to go through the same mess I had to go through. I hope these two incompetent clowns (Eric & Reginald) get fired because they shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near an automobile.

Customer service was friendly and they honored their 24.99 online oil change price BUT shorted me a whole quart of oil!!! I guess they didnt think the naive pregnant lady would notice but I have friends who look out for me. I will be going somewhere else for my next oil change!

Stay Away!I use to go to Midas, in particular this branch, often. I got a newish car (50k miles) and I took it in for an oil change and brake job (replacing the pads). To my surprise, my car had over $1000 in needed repairs ranging from ball joints to welding of the underbody. I declined the repair and took it to two different repair shops, and I asked them to inspect the car. They found nothing wrong with anything other than an improper brake job was done and needed to be fixed.

I have taken all of my cars to Midas for more than 10 years. That ends today. Upon arriving for my scheduled appointment to 3910 Coldwater Road, Fort Wayne, IN 46805, the representative advised me that Midas is required to put synthetic oil in my 2010 Toyota Corolla LE. Mind you, we have taken this specific vehicle to this specific Midas since we purchased it in November of 2014, and Midas has ALWAYS put conventional oil in the vehicle without any incident or notice otherwise until today. The manager refused to do the oil change wit the conventional oil, indicating that this year, make, and model REQUIRES synthetic oil. I asked him to pull my receipt history, which verifies that I have ALWAYS had conventional oil put in at this very same Midas. The manager then, VERY RUDELY, advised that, Well its not my problem when your engine blows because synthetic oil is REQUIRED. I immediately contacted Toyota in Fort Wayne, IN and spoke with the Service Manager, whom I used to work with. He advised that in no way, shape, or form, would a 2010 Toyota Corolla require synthetic oil and that Midas was very clearly attempting to rip us off by using scare-tactics to trick us into a purchase that is almost triple what we have ever paid. This is unacceptable. My business ends with you today.

I went to Midas mainly because they have late evening and weekend hours. I had gone there out of desperation before and I was reluctant to go back because on previous occasions I felt like I had been overcharged. This time I went there because my car engine was leaking coolant at a pretty alarming rate. I dropped it off and they called me an hour or so later to tell me that the hoses were leaking and that it would cost 200 dollars to fix. I felt relieved because in the past I did not make it out of there for under 500 dollars. The next day after driving it for less than a day my low coolant light came on again. I returned to Midas and after they had my car for about 7 hours they called and said the problem is a leaking gasket seal on the timing case. The parts and labor would be over 500 dollars to fix. I asked if they would give me my 200 dollars back from the work they did on the hoses and they insisted that several of the hoses I had were leaking and did need to be replaced. Now I am no mechanic but before I ever took my car to the shop I and during one of the many times I added coolant to the engine I inspected the engine and hoses for leaks and never could find any with or without the engine running. When they showed me where the coolant was now leaking from near the side and bottom of the engine I insisted that is where I thought the leak was because that was where I noticed coolant pooling when my car was stopped. So I took my car to my regular trusted mechanic who quoted me about 300 dollars to do the same work Midas wanted to charge me over 500 for. When relating this story to a friend they told me that Midas employees/ managers work under a commission and that explains why they try to maximize profits with extraneous repairs. I also heard Midas technicians use a type of flow chart for diagnosing and correcting problems. Like they probably looked at my car and saw leaking coolant then looked at the flow chart replace hoses if that doesnt work replace gaskets and so on untill the problem is fixed or the customer is broke. I dont know if it is true or not but this coincides with my experience everytime I have entrusted my vehicle to their care. Please save yourself some time and money and go to a real mechanic first.
