Ripoff

Hi everyone went to this midas about 3,years ago to have my wife toyota`s exhaust repaired they checked out the car and told me I needed a complete exhaust system front to back I got a price of 1000.00 dollars to do it. so, I needed it and said ok being in the auto repair business myself for years and needed my wife`s car fixed of which I didn`t have time to crawl under the car and do it myself also knowing I would a... view moret least have a lifetime warranty on my muffler I ok`d the job, I also specifically asked the manager if I would have a lifetime warranty on the muffler he said yes of coarse they completed the job and we drove off about 2 and a half years later my wife`s muffler was making a rattling sound inside the muffler when I checked it out It was broken baffles in the muffler. now my wife`s car runs perfect no backfiring I tune up it myself so knowing this is a defect I returned with the receipt to this midas expecting to have the muffler replaced and be charged only the labor but, when I spoke to the manager that was there and explained that the muffler had broken baffles and no rot he got agitated with me and walked out of the room and left me waiting for about 15 minutes the came in and looked a receipt as he smerked and Said your way out of warranty I replied I have a lifetime warranty on the muffler and it`s a manufactures defect he the showed me a stipulation that was added to the top of the receipt that stated all exhaust assemblies carry 1 year warranty I was fooled by these people being they advertise a lifetime warranty on mufflers and also by the manager who told me it was warrantied for life. the muffler of coarse, I was angry and drove off I was charged 250.00 for the muffler part which I priced at autozone with a lifetime warranty for 145.00 so I called the corporate office the next day I recieved a call from the arragant manager at midas whom told me they would replace the muffler labor wise for free and I would only pay for the muffler in the amount of 175.00 for a 1 year muffler and 250.00 for a lifetime muffler another scam I could buy the muffler with a lifetime warranty from autozone for 145.00 why would I let them put in a muffler of the same quality that will break in 2 1/2 years again when for 145.00 from autozone I could put in a lifetime muffler and it would take me 10 minutes to install myself on this car. they should have either replaced the muffler and charged me just the labor or given me the muffler free of charge and would have installed it myself I feel these people are sneaky to lie in my face just goes to show I should have carefully read the receipt. when I had my business I would never have done something like that to my customers people be advised watch out for this place they are experts at fooling you check your prices and carefully read your receipts

Honest & Fast Service

Back in January,my car had a very bad vibration when I was driving over 20mph. I called the Midas in Mapeth-they told me to bring my car in and I did. I do not know anything about cars or how they work, so I was at their mercy. Well let me start by saying that they were very friendly and accommedating, but most of all very, very honest!! The problem was that there was ice that buildt up on my axle shaft causing the v... view moreibration-- they got the ice off and my problem solved- they didn`t even charge me. I came back this past Saturday because I need an oil change, while rotating my tires they noticed that I needed brakes. Midas repaired my brakes and my car stops great now, like never before. I recommend this place to anyone in need of car repairs!!

excellent service!!!!!!!!!

I had recently visited midas on eliot ave. in Maspeth. I was incredibly satisfied with the price of my auto repair and the customer assistance that I had received. They are trust worthy mechanics and I would recommend them to anyone.
