I brought my car in for all 4 tires and was blown away by the service received! Paul took the time to explain my options and helped me choose the right tire to prepare for the snow. We went over future services and a timeline for when I can expect those to be done He is very knowledgeable and passionate about customer service, and it shows! The service was done quickly, and Paul beat the the quotes I had received from other repair shops with a 5 year alignment. Great service, professionalism and care for their customers. Paul has a customer for life!
I went in for a synthetic oil change. During the free safety inspection, they saw that the inner edges of my front tires had steel belts showing through! The manager Paul showed me the tires and got me a good price on 2 new tires. He was very nice and explained all of the different options available. He even got me 6 months same as cash financing to help me with this unexpected expense! Paul and his crew really care about keeping their customers safe and on the road! I would have had a blowout if they didnt show me those tires. Definitely recommend taking your car here!
Great service didn’t hide fees timing is decent, def will come back here. Thanks Paul
This place is fantastic. The assistant manager, Cesar, is awesome. Very knowledgeable and polite. He goes out of his way to answer your questions and makes sure your wait is as short as possible. This Midas is clean and comfortable and everyone who works here is polite, and goes out of there way to provide exceptional service. Highly recommended.... Ron
The manager, Anthony, made sure that we had a very positive experience. My husband and I felt very welcome and valued as customers. Our brake job was completed within the quoted time, and we really appreciated Anthonys call to let us know the job was completed. I would absolutely recommend this Midas to family and friends who are looking for prompt, friendly, professional service at a reasonable price.
The staff is friendly and doesn’t try to upsell services. This is my favorite local repair shop in palatine.
Argon got me in in 10 minutes no appointment. After a very long day and last minute before an important road trip, he was very kind and professional. This place operates with integrity.
I have been coming to this Midas Location for a while now with my other car and now my newer car. I really appreciate how everything is always explained when other things are needed to my vehicle. Very clean place, very professional. Highly recommend Midas in Palatine.
The manager Paul took advantage of my wife. Overselling lying about required services. This is predatory. Go in for an oil change and $500+ later on a car with 20,000 miles. This should be criminal. Filing a complaint with their corporate offices too.
I walked in for an oil change. Sargon was very professional and honest. I really appreciated this. I will definitely use this Midas for future car needs.
I came in on short notice before a trip noticing an oil leak. They took care of me immediately and talked me through everything. I ended up having a few more services done as well. I will definitely be back.
My girlfriend went in for an oil change and the manager Paul told her numerous things that were wrong with the vehicle and the vehicle is only 2 years old with 30k miles went to the dealer and they told me everything with the vehicle is perfectly fine and there is no issues this place is a scam I would never recommend this place to anyone they are lucky I am not reporting this to the better business bureau, DO NOT GO HERE I REPEAT DO NOT DO BUISNESS HERE
Will never be going back here again! They called to tell me my car was ready and even went later than they asked and yet it wasn’t ready when I got there. They also never called to tell me it wasn’t. Then the car was going to have to be kept overnight but I had to come back to the store to pay for the parts when they could have just charged me while I was there prior. Why wasn’t the issue of the motherboard being shot inspected prior to calling me that my car would be falsely ready when it wasn’t? Isn’t that part of your job as a mechanic to inspect and knock out all possible variables. Clearly was not a full inspection, and a lack of knowledge apparent. A team member was also hitting on me throughout the process of me being there! Extremely unprofessional and unsatisfactory.
Quick service and at a good price, plus they had the AC blasting during the hot weather so thats a plus
Sargon was very helpful throughout the whole process. Thanks man would recommend
I’ve been coming here for years. Staff is super helpful and knowledgeable and willing to work with you on pricing for major (and minor) fixes. As a female, its not always easy to feel confident that you’re getting the correct recommendations for service on your car. I’ve never had any issues here in terms of unnecessary upsells or dramatizing a problem to make a bigger sale. (I always shop around, and 99% of the time I end up bringing my car into Midas anyway)Huge shout out to the whole staff! But special thank you’s to Cesar, Nick, and Wes for your help over the years.
Great 😊👌 pricing....great service....great people!
BIG SCAM! I got a coupon in the mail for a discounted oil change. I was pretty satisfied until they told me the cabin air filter was missing and that it would cost $50 to replace it. This made me very suspicious of them and I told them I would replace it myself. Just checked my car and the cabin air filter is there, it is not missing. This guy was trying to rob me. Buyer beware!
Sargon was very helpful in getting my hubs pressed in to them installed in my car. Thank you again!!
Free and fast walk in break inspection. Nice and friendly experts
Dont go here they tried to charge me double for the parts and told me my belt needed to be replaced which was not true I hade just replaced it a few weeks ago. Fact is these guys are trying to scam hard working people.
Nick was awesome look forward to doing business with them in the future
Anthony and his crew took care of my truck. They share updates, show you what they did to the vehicle and why and they are all around great people. 10 out of 10 I would recommend them for all vehicle maintenance and repairs.
Great service! Highly recommend.
I have had nothing but positive experiences here. The employees, specifically Wes, have gone above and beyond to provide great service. Wes and another employee (I forgot his name!) actually drove out about 30 minutes to check my car because I was nervous something was wrong. They said they wanted to make sure the car was safe for me to drive and they didn’t want me to drive all the way to the shop if it was unsafe. I highly recommend :)
Ti tried making an appointment online. They called back within the timeframe they provided. The guy was very nice and friendly.
Paul was Great!
I went here for an oil change and they offered a free quick inspection. They found an issue with my suspension that they were able to fix easily. I was back on the road in no time! My experience here was great and Joel was very kind and helpful. Thanks to him and the great mechanics!
Good excelent place
It took them 11 hours to do an oil change
My car was making weird noises that were worrying me. But after coming here they quickly found the problem and were able to fix it right away and at a reasonable price! Joel was very friendly and explained everything thoroughly. Great service and I will definitely come here again! Thanks to joel and to the wonderful staff here !
Poor pricing transparency and misleading communication.
Good oil change..good and quick
Great service. Reasonable prices. There’s never a long wait time. I highly recommend this location for all your car services
Very nice and honest. Quick and easy oil change for a great price! I felt my driving loose and he said he would check all that for free. Definitely coming here for regular oil changes!!
Complete rip-off. Had REAR brake pads changed in January. I paid 467 dollars to get JUST the REAR brake pads(not rotors) changed in an Altima. I would have saved 90 dollars getting the job done at Nissan - they threw in brake-bleeding for free.
Seriously TOP NOTCH staff at Midas of Palatine. I needed maintenance on my car and Paul and Wes & their team were SO friendly and helpful as Paul walked me through the options for service needed on my car. I left completely satisfied that quality work was done on my vehicle and they worked with me on pricing. Experiences like these are why I keep coming back to Midas. If you go in, be sure to talk to Paul or Wes! Thanks a million guys!!
I went to the Midas in Palatine and the manager and staff were friendly and professional. They explained everything they went over on my car and what I needed. I feel the quality of service was excellent and I will recommend my friends to this location.
I just picked up my car that had a nail in the tire, thought I needed a whole new tire, but they were able to patch it for $35! Ive also had them replace my car battery, brakes, and oil changes. Very quick service and they dont jerk you around.I also saw them days later with my girlfriends car and they were able to get us in on a Sunday! Thanks!
Been going to this location for years and have had great service with several fleet vehicles. Always on top of everything Ive needed and work with my schedule to have next to no down time.
The Midas in Palatine is fantastic. Their service cannot be beat. Paul helped explain what was going on with my car and what repairs were needed. They will even throw in a coupon if they can to help you with the price.
Great service! Wes got me in for an oil change last minute right before they closed, and even added the coupon I mistakenly left it at home on the kitchen counter! A true life saver & Im so so grateful. There are plenty of auto shops near the corner of Rand & Dundee, but Midas is a true Palatine gem!
I have a 1999 Cadillac Eldorado. When I purchased this vehicle immediately I took it to Midas. They informed me that I had no major issues. I just needed an oil change. They advised me of getting the coolant treatment as well. The staff did a beautiful job of inspecting my vehicle. Not to mention gave me very informative information about my car. Fast forward 3 months later and I am getting trouble with my water pump. I was nervous because I could not afford the repairs for about a week. Luckily, for me the staff told me that because I got the oil changes and treatments plan with them. They would put in a claim and do the repairs no charge. The claim went through and the staff did a great job repairing my car. THINGS LIKE THIS IS THE REASON I TAKE MY CAR TO THIS MIDAS!!!!!!!
Great experience 5 stars!
I was immediately professionally greeted. They took my vehicle to the back right away and the staff are super friendly and haliourios. They did a good job on my oil change. COME HERE
These guys are awesome... if you are looking for professional and fast service come to this location.
Really enjoyed my experience at this location. Great customer service! They got me in the quickly and I was able to get on with my errands for the day within an hour. Will definitely be back in the future! :)
When ever I need work done on my car I take it to this MIDAS location,because I have strong faith in the managers WES and Paul that they will care for my car needs honestly without doing work that does not need to be done. A few times I was told by my dealership that I need service on certain areas of my car and both managers would say that these issues do not need to be done at this time. I was even told I could wait 3 or 4 months before the need to have my brakes replaced. I as a customer appreciate the honesty. I hope other folks feel the same way about the service and professionalism of these two men. I might also add they always find me a nice discount on a service, especially when I forget my coupons.
Im very satisfied with their work on my car every time I come here. The techs are very friendly and co-operative. The prices are much affordable. I trust them 100%
Both my husband and I bring both our cars to the Palatine Midas location. Friendly and honest staff and always quick service. I often bring my laptop and work since they have a nice seating area and wifi.
Joe was absolutely the best! He knew what needed to be done and he was very helpful. Highly recommended to see Joe if you have any issues with your car. Everyone was polite there and the place was clean. Definitely coming back!
Very satisfied. After trying many mechanics, finally found some quality workers there in Midas. Employees are very friendly and explained well about what’s going on with the issues. It was great experience.
Service was fast, efficient, and affordable. Came here on a whim after the shop across the street couldnt get the job done. The tech was friendly and easy to talk to when explaining the car issue. Even met a long term customer in the waiting room with nothing but positive things to say about the shop. Highly recommend!
Noisy car. Found I had a broken flex pipe andCatalytic converter needed to be replaced. They gave me an estimate and fixed within two hours. Polite friendly person at the front. Perfect repair. Fair price. Thanks again.
Been coming to this location now for some time for everything from simple oil changes to more complex vehicle repairs. The staff here is always polite and professional and they are quick to get vehicles in and back on the road safely. Whenever I bring my car in for service, they always bring me back into the service area while my car is still on the lift so they can show me what exactly is wrong and everything is explained to me in plain English. Im always presented with a full quote for repairs from which they explain to me what needs to be done priority to what can wait till later on. (In case youre wondering, I have high mileage vehicles, both over 100,000 miles which require more maintenance than typical low mileage vehicles. Not all of us can afford new(er) vehicles. One vehicle they kept running up until 183,000 miles.) The Assistant Service Manager Don has always been understanding to my financial situation and really does work with me to help me get repairs done. I typically only work with Don because he understands my vehicles and my financial situation. He has always been up front and honest about everything. I have received quotes from him before and have spoken to my brother who is a mechanic (he is to far away from me to take my vehicles to) and my brother has always agreed with what he says and and the prices quoted. In some cases my brother has told me to some quotes Thats a damn good price theyre giving you. I have been a loyal customer for some years now and will continue to only go to this location for anything my vehicles need.
I can speak for this location when I say the service was outstanding! Joe assisted me throughout and provided impeccable service! He gave me all of the details up front before servicing my vehicle. No hidden fees. Honesty is the best policy. Thank you Joe!
Showed up this morning at 8 and they were closed I’ve been going there for years and since Wes the old store manager retired it’s gone down hill fast
Great experience! They helped me pick tires and an even better rate and brand I requested. 10/10 experience!!
In my extensive experience with Midas Palatine, they have proven themselves to be honest professionals who provide excellent service and high quiality repair work. I would recommend them to everyone.
I showed up right at close time with a muffler that was dragging on the ground. The staff took a look at my car and were willing to stay an hour after close to send me home happy. Good customer service. Recommend.
Wes was very helpful and super polite. I had a very minor issue and he graciously helped me even though the store was closing. I will definitely come back to this Midas!
I brought my 2016 Passat for a oil change here with absolutely no issues with car. It started leaking oil after 2 days. Took it back to get it fixed and I was told that they left the filter gasket loose. Waited about 2 hours to get that fixed. My car is still leaking oil. So if you would like ruin your perfectly fine car, this is the place to go. Good luck
Love the technicians here. Always helpful and friendly
Midas advertises $99 brake job per axle online. But if there are some other problems, the price can go up to $1180 per axle like the case was on my car. The price went down to less than $700 with no bleeding service and only fixing the leaking piston on one wheel. So basically charging almost $600 more for fixing one piston on top of $99 for replacing the pads on two wheels.I went back to my ol mechanic and get the brake fixed for $380 without any reduced services. I worked as an auto mechanic myself before starting the college study 40 years ago. And I did start replacing brake pads after 20 minutes lesson and an hour of practice session, fixing the stuck and leaking pistons after a month or two on the job, and confidently handled bleeding the air out of the brake system after about 3 months. The mechanical auto break system has not changed. It actually became little simpler as the brake drums are replaced by the brake discs on most of the sedans and SUVs. My car brake job can be fixed within 2 hours easily.The receptionist acted like a kind guy but actually handed me the car key back ten minutes after my car was pulled out from the garage and parked outside. I still give them three stars because their manners are kinda polite side and not aggressive. If my car is an expensive new car, I probably let them fix it even if I know the price is too high.This Midas shop is closer to my home, and I wanted give my village more business but certainly not with that much bleeding on my wallet. I wasted two hours in the shop.
We were looking for the place to change breaks, balance and tire rotation. They did everything so fast and easy for us with a good discount. I highly recommend this place. I would give more than 5 star for customer service if I could.
Apparently They don’t open on time anymore Absolutely ridiculous to sit in the parking lot waiting
I knew their manager, Wesley, from years ago when he was Lake Zurich Midas manager; and he and his staff always took great care of all my family cars; then he was transferred to Palatine, and today he took the same great care of me, and his staff did the same great of my car.He is the most honest shop Manager I have ever met, and his employees do an excellent job.
Wes, the manager is wonderful and so is the staff. I took my daughters car there to get some work done and they were quick and efficient with their work. They called and gave me updates on any issues found and pricing before anything was worked on. Professional people and will take my cars back there for all work.
I brought my car in for a repair concerning the brakes... They were so nice and they looked over everything without me asking them to. They did not try to upsell me at all which is a plus..They even drove me home while they worked on it. They are efficient and extremely pleasant to deal with. I feel safe in my car once again...
Wes and Tim were an INCREDIBLE help! In and out in less than 15 minutes. Midas is your best choice at this busy intersection. Friendly service with a smile. Thank you very much!
Generally take my vehicles here, super close to home and they always have specials. With them, I’ve been underneath my car to see issues and they typically give their opinion on various parts about the car. They can get pretty busy, try to schedule a visit ahead. I think it’s common sense, but it’s always good to get a second opinion.
I had these guys repair my car and everything was dine to my perfection. Accommodating, dependable, honest, polite, thorough, fast, affordable. THANK YOU so much guys!
Midas Muffler - Palatine on East Dundee RoadI called in to get a rough price on front and rear brakes and rotors, and talked with Wes. Wes was professional from the moment we started. He said come in and we will give you an exact price after we look at it. I told him that price was a concern as I have been unemployed for a year. He said dont worry, we have a midas card which will give you 6 months to pay. When I got in, it was everything Wes said, and He helped me get the midas card open, and now the car runs smoothly, no noise, and stops. He is a credit to Midas in customer relations.
I have been going to Midas in Palatine, Il. On Dundee for over 2 years! They are the nicest and most accommodating people I have ever had. Wes is great and always greets me with a smile. Also, they have the cleanest bathrooms that any woman would go into especially when its Generally a man’s place!
From the very first step through the door I feel welcome and respected. The employees are quick, fair, and knowledgeable; not to mention they get the job done right. The Palatine Midas store has always proven to be a great experience which is why I always recommend this facility to all my family and friends and why I am a return customer.
Service was phenomenal
These guys are really trustworthy! I have been going to my own mechanic for years and all that to find out he has been taking advantage of my trust. The guys at Midas helped me recover and make me able to trust again. They are very helpful and are the best at what they do. Thank you for all your help Guys!
People are friendly and kind however they could not diagnose a vacuum leak and I wasted about $2,000 and still have a check engine light on.
Joel was very polite and knowledgeable. Explained to everything with details. Very happy with the service.
Ive been servicing my car here since 2012. The service, professionalism, and speed of this Midas is superb. There are a few other car service companies within a mile of this location but I only go to this Midas.One thing my wife and I always appreciate is how they will let you know what they recommend fixing/replacing but are never pushy about making the sale.Whether you need an oil change, break maintenance or a heat shield falls off the bottom of your car, the Palatine Midas wont let you down.
Tim was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Great service and great price.
Good customer service
I have been coming to this Midas for roughly 4 years now, through 3 different cars. Really appreciate the work they have done. Technicians have changed over the years, but all have been very helpful. Currently getting the oil changed, brakes replaced and the throttle system cleared out. Should get a little more pep out of the gas pedal now). These guys have been pretty honest and straightforward with me every time I go. They tell you what you need and what can wait. I am sure they have saved me so much money over the years with repairs that could wait and with repairs that need to be done preventing more damage. Highly recommend.
Fair price on oil change and brake fluid exchange. Beats dealer prices and uses OEM fluids. Highly recommend this shop.
Great place which I have trusted and gone to for years. Polite, professional and trusted. I get 3 estimates if its a costly repair. This Midas is good. They are very honest and explain everything. I never had any problem.
I called this location after all the other locations were closed on Sunday. I am so glad they were!!! Joe was so nice and professional . I called prior to coming in the shop a little freaked out about not knowing what is wrong with my car. Joe told me to bring my car in and not worry about anything as he knows what the problem is. I felt so relieved as I truly knew I was in good hands. This location is amazing!!! Ask for Joe and you won’t be disappointed :)
I have had nothing but exceptional service at this Midas location. Don, the assistant manager, will never sell you something you dont need. He is extremely friendly, professional, and accommodating. The time frames for work are always accurate. There is no where I would rather go to have my car worked on.
Bought headlights for my wife’s car and realized I don’t have the tools to get in there. I called and the manager, Wes said he’d take it in a install them for me and just charge labor. Pretty quick, fine job. Wes followed up with me a week later to make sure everything was satisfactory. Will be returning.
Got a new exhaust on my car, they had to cut off my exhaust in several places to remove it and it cost me around 200$ which isnt bad or good. Th exhaust was installed without flaws and only took around an hour. What surprised me is that they called me the next to follow up and make sure everything was working fine. I highly recommend this Midas.
Don saved me money on my exhaust system repair by not replacing the entire exhaust pipe and instead doing a great repair job. You can tell they take pride in the work here and they run a good, efficient, clean shop. I recommend Midas in Palatine.
I had a really nice experience here, so much so I had to share. I had just had my oil changed by a different shop before my wife planned to take the car out of town, only to find oil under the car on the Sunday morning she was due to leave on her trip. Since my shop was closed on Sundays I noticed some nice reviews in Google Maps of this Midas so I reached out to them. Tim answered my call and said theyd be able to take a look at it. In the end it was a simple fix but they had to re-do the oil change. Since the car is a diesel Porsche Cayenne these are expensive oil changes but the price here was very reasonable, the service was thorough and friendly, and the turn-around was pretty fast for a last-minute issue. Thanks a ton Tim and team.
I do agree about them charging more than necessary. I was using a coupon for $19.99 oil change that includes filter and oil. The coupon states they can charge for extra parts. I was charged $4.5 for shop supply. What other shop supply do you use? Oil ring should be included in the oil change if that is what the charge is for. In addition, they where suppose to rotate the tires. They did not. They stated that the better tires are in thed back. No offence, but it is my car and if i ask you to and pay for it, please do it. You can call out the concerns, but do it. It is not about the money but about the trust. If I cannot trust you with a simple oil change, how am I going to give you bigger jobs.I know that it is only $20 but you guys are the one who came out with that offer so please do as you say.
Visited midas on 5/1/2018 to receive excellent service from the technicians. They answered every question I had and explained stuff I didnt know. Didnt have to wait long and was comfortable waiting in the lobby. Very clean facility.
I went to two different jiffy lube that told me it would be at least a 45 minute wait before they even looked at my car for an oil change. I called Midas across the street and they got me in right away without even having an appointment(although thats recommended). They were very accommodating and I even got a free bottle of water. Will be coming back!
Replaced my exhaust entirely which was a fine job, but after they worked on my car, my serpentine belt made a nails on a chalkboard screeching. I asked them to fix it since it had never made a sound before they touched it, and they said coincidences happen.I guess I agree. I guess it was a coincidence that I took my business elsewhere
Went in for some typical maintenance on my car. Theres a lot of places in the area that I dont trust, so I tried somewhere new. I worked with Paul, real nice guy. Got my oil change done and he went over my inspection. He explained what I needed and why I needed to get it done and what could happen if I dont. He was thorough and explained things really well. You can tell he knows his stuff. Sometimes I feel like places are trying to rip you off, but I could tell Paul was an honest, genuine guy. Ill be back next time I need work done.
The Assistant Manager, Don is AMAZING!! I know nothing about cars and he was extremely patient with me and walked through things with me in detail. He also gavee me a great deal on fixing a tire rod!! Love Midas, THANKS DON!!!!
Ok service had better at an independently own shop the old staff was friendly and seemed more honest and not to up sell or cheat the customers should of read the other reviews that are true seems like i have more issues with vehicles. i wouldnt recommend this place any longer there cheats do your research and shop other shops even oil changes and tire if y have to pay a couple dollars more its worth it go to an other shops that cares about the customer not just a sale
Wes Kulczycki is a great manager, very nice and professional! Ive had a lot of work done here over the last 4 years or so (besides just oil changes) and Im always pleased with the customer service I receive as well as the work performed!!
The guys here are all so nice and always take great care of my car! In and out service, always doing their best to get you on your way. Ask for Ben he’s my favorite!
