WHAT AN AUTOMOTIVE EXPERIENCE

by RA123456

Took my car in for a brake inspection. The dealer tried selling me approx 2k worth of needed brake repairs. I took it to the Midas in Glendale which I've used before for some shocks and struts on my wife's car. They have this amazing life time warranty deal going on which saves us a lot of money because we put high miles on our cars. The manager there, Yuri, was extremely helpful and friendly. His entire staff and all the mechanics were nice and very professional and welcoming. They all seem to be certified and knowledgeable on auto repair. THEY ENDED UP FIXING AND RE DOING MY ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR 500 DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A SAVINGS!!!!! :)))))) will def return and stop going to the dealer...

***************HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND MIDAS GLENDALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Pros: PROFESSIONAL AND GOOD PRICE
• Cons: NONE!!!

almost ripped off!!!!!

by your1gay

I was just in there to get my car checked out with the understanding it was going to be a free $150 diagnostic check, the car was in there all day and the first impression everybody seemed to be courteous and really nice, however when it came to getting my car back there was a problem and knowing my girfriend had to be at work they would not release my car until they got paid which they did...the estimate I got was way over priced...I did some comparisons after the fact and I got some way lower estimates...bottom line Yuri could see the puzzled look on my face knowing I knew nothing about cars and it looked like a perfect chance for a great rip off!!!! so on that note I would not be taking my vehicle to midas ever again or recommend them to anyone...you got your 50 midas...50 slaps...

• Pros: I was able to get my car back
• Cons: ripped off on diagnostic for transmission,bad attitudes.

Ripped off??

by gottsuaho

This is my first review ever. I recently got my alternator replaced and had an oil change. Yuri was nice, but I'm not sure that they gave me an honest price. It cost $535 for the alternator. After I paid, I did some research and found that the average cost for such a repair is around $200 - $400. I really think I got ripped off. Yuri could tell that I don't know anything about cars and took advantage. He told me that he took off the tax for me, but why would he do that? Because he knows that he's already getting plenty of extra money from me and taking off the tax sounds like he helping me out. I also noticed that almost all of the good reviews written here are most likely written by this Midas shop. Notice how each reviewer has only written one review (I will be writing more in the future). Most reviewers tend to write more than one. I will give 2 stars because they finished ripping me off in one day, so I was able to drive to work the next Monday. Keep in mind that this review is speculative.

• Pros: Timely
• Cons: Price

The BEST Car Place in Town

by Pow29

The customer service at this auto shop was amazing! The manager and mechanics explained every detail about the problems I was having with my car and their suggestions. The place was so reasonable and did not overcharge me at all! My car has been working amazing and I have already referred some friends from school who are all extremely pleased with the shop. I would highly recommend this MIDAS for any car problems, towing, oil changes, or engine issues. After a lot of searching and driving to other shops nearby, I would definiteley recommend this place over any other!

• Pros: AMAZING auto service, honest, reasonable, professional people!
• Cons: NONE

Honest & Reliable Service

by KevinBarrera

I know very little about cars and always feel like I'm being taken advantage of. I have been to other Midas shops around Los Angeles for brake repair and this one is far superior to the others. Yuri, my contact, was courteous and honest about what I needed and didn't try to "sell" me to make more profit. It was a great experience and I highly recommend this store.

Good service - would recommend to anyone in the Glendale / Pasadena area

by mshawkat

Excellent service and honest evaluation of the kind of work that needed to be done on the car. For the same exact servicing, the Pasadena Midas quoted me $1,100 to $1,300 over the phone. Yuri got it done for about half that amount.

Overall excellent shop, I'll be returning for all future works related to my car in future.

fast and friendly

by wordguru

A few weeks ago, the unfortunate grinding sound coming from the right/front of my car told me I needed a brake job -- and fast, because I was leaving on a 3 hour drive down to the Mexican border. It was early Saturday morning, my usual car repair guy was in a distant part of town, wouldn't be in until 10am anyway, and always made me wait endless hours (is it because my rusty ol' Mazda is low on the automotive food chain?). I went online and began reading reviews about Midas Muffler in Glendale, and this great guy Yuri, who everyone seemed to love. I decided to try Yuri. Well, the other reviewers didn't lie -- Yuri was smart, fast and friendly. Yuri's family took over the business some months back, and it shows -- he manages the shop with care, integrity and a real dedication to customer service. When I asked Yuri where I could catch breakfast while waiting, he directed me to Foxy's, a tasty coffee shop within walking distance. I don't want any more car problems, but if they crop up, Yuri's the guy I'm going to.

• Pros: reassuring, friendly, fast, honest
• Cons: none
