Paperwork states that oil change comes with a free tire rotation. Tire rotation was not done. I was also brought into the garage to see “my air filter” which was supposedly full of leaves and needed to be changed. I declined and checked my air filter as soon as I was home and it was perfectly clean.

Well we are still here waiting for 2 cars to be inspected!! Had an appointment at 1:00pm and 3 hours later we are still here!! I would n vet recommend this place to put out the garbage. 1 star is too good for them.

I bought a tire from them four months ago. They guaranteed me 45,000 miles. Less than 10,000 miles, this what it did. They said they can’t do nothing for me because I didn’t have roadside assistance. I said I ain’t get the roadside assistance because I was expecting to do the 45,000 miles, by then I would’ve just bought two new sets of tires. They response was it’s nothing I can do for you. I will never go back to them again.

Very unprofessional. Made an appointment for an inspection… the inspection guy left early and they never called to let me know. Drove there after work and guy at the desk was rude and unintelligent. Very pathetic and unprofessional. Schenectady trash.

As a dealer, time is of the essence. Today I needed to get a car inspected same day and my guy was out. Called a few placea that said they couldnt get me in. These guys were super professional and friendly. They invited me to come in right away and did a great job working me into their morning. Would recommend to anyone and will use these guys again when Im in a pinch again. Thanks Midas!

Went to go and gave my truck inspected. They told me that my tie rods would not pass and that it would be over $700 to fix it . I told them truck runs fine and I have had no issue. I refused the service and took it to another business where they inspected the truck and found NOTHING wrong and passed the truck.I would not recommend using this business as they are out to rob you of your money which as we all know during this pandemic money is not easy to come by .

I love Midas I would not go anywhere else. I had to get an inspection and Kevin was amazing at fitting me in immediately. I had to wait only a short time. Great customer service, very professional and friendly. Any car service that you need oil change to new brakes I would go to this Midas.

So the first big snowfall of the year I was slippin and a-slidin skiddin and a gliding all over the road it was a really scary time but luckily I pulled smoothly into this nice midass parking lot, I was immediately greeted with warm smiling faces and they were very attentive and receptive to my needs they had the tires I need immediately in stock so I didnt have to wait around at all after I sat down the immediately drove my car into the bay and put those brand new tires on my vehicle I am really happy and really pleased of how conscientious and courteous the workers were at this location I decided to post a review because they had a big postcard basically encouraging me to leave a good favorable review on Google

Review №16

I went to get my car reinspected, it was going to pass but was told my odometer wasnt working and the dmv computer couldnt issue me a sticker, now the guy told it could be just a fuse but they couldnt be sure and to run a diagnostic would be $89. Mind you the reinspection is only $10 but he knows I need the sticker because its the 2nd and my sticker expired on the 31st, so against my better judgment I say do the diagnostic, why does it take him 5 minutes to tell me I had a fuse missing..........sir you figured that all along, so you charge me $107 for a $10 job, but he goes I didnt charge you for the fuse...... never again Midas. Total RIP OFF

I just have to say that this is my second time coming here. Both times they got me in very last minute and we’re so nice and helpful. I myself don’t know much about cars, and I could easily be lied to and wouldn’t know. Both times they were as honest and up front as they could be. Explained to me I need a new air filter (very cheap) but that it wasn’t urgent and I could come back in a few weeks because I was in a time crunch. I really trust them and both of my experiences were great. I’ll be doing anything I need done with them as long as they offer it from here on out.

This business does over charge. I came into their establishment to get a quote. I received a quote and then paid the $98 fee for getting it diagnosed. He quotes me a price for $1600. I left and took my business to Mavis. They were nicer and charged my way less ($850). How in the hell are they able to charge half as you?

These guys are always exceeding my expectations whenever I go for an oil change or inspection or anything they are very courteous and are extremely capable to answer questions. Kevin helps me out most of the time and definitely is always willing to go above and beyond. I would recommend anyone in the Albany or Schenectady area to definitely check them out. I would give them 100 stars if I could.

Was able to get everything done all in one short visit rather then returning to order tires and come back another day. With kids that isn’t feasible. Was reasonable priced and educational on possible future work to be done.

I arrived after they had closed because I needed an emergency headlight change. Instead of turning me away completely, they showed me how to do it myself and told me what bulb I needed to replace it with. Not only did they teach me something, but they saved me a lot of money too. Really good group of workers here!

John was courteous, professional, informative and was understanding when I wanted to price tires across the street at Mavis before deciding to purchase through Midas. John offered to match the price quoted by Mavis and was more then willing to answer my questions and took the time to explain his answers. He dealt well with all the customers that came in while I was waiting and his ultimate goal was always safety.

Review №37

Excellent service! John, the manager, were able to give me a quote on tire replacement within less than 5 minutes. 2 hours later, I was back at home with 4 new tires! Without mentioning how great and understanding he was while I had to wait with my 4 young children. He handed them crayons and paper, balloons, etc to make our experience much smoother than I could have possibly imagine. Would go back there for any service in a heart beat!

John, the Manager, is just about one of the nicest guys you could hope to work with when your car needs something. My husband and I have found ourselves at Midas a few times since we moved to town, and each time John has been kind and honest with us, even telling my husband to take our care to the dealer when the transmission overheated so we wouldnt have to pay out of pocket for repairs because he knew the warranty would cover it there. We will absolutely bring our car back when we need another service, and Ill be advising others to do the same.

I was conveniently able to set an appointment online to bring my car in hours later for an overheating engine. I spoke with the service manager who conducted himself with the utmost professionalism as he talked me through the repair requirements along with the associated cost. Within 24 hours (given the late time in the day I dropped my car off and the replacement of a water pump and thermostat), I was back on the road without issue.

Review №45

Not very helpful at all. John has the worst customer service I have ever had to deal with. I had them installed some new tires on my truck and the location they put the tires on dont match up with the trucks TPS (tire positioning system). When I called about he said just put some miles on them and it will fix its self. To my understanding is does not but i gave it a week and it dont fix its self. I went back in to ask again if there was a why they could fix it and he basically blew me off and said I had to bring to dealership to get fixed. So if you dont have the right tools to work on newer cars/ trucks with this system why are they working on them or not a good experience at all. They should have help and fix the problem after spending a good amount of money there. Never going back

Today I went to this local midas for a oil change done for my car. Not only did they rotate the tires they also did it for free. Im in tears here. They saw who I was. My license plate is Gold Star Mother 675. Today is also his birthday. Ive never had anyone do this for me before. I am so incredibly surprised that someone would be willing to do this for me today. The emotions of being happy and sad today are really hard. Thank you.

After feeling as if the garage where I normally go for auto service didn’t seem to have any regard for my status as a regular customer, the manager at Midas Schenectady - John - made me feel like a VIP as soon as I walked in the door. From that point on, he & the team handled everything with professionalism and maintained communication throughout the entire repair process. I would highly recommend taking your vehicle to this shop!

Came here to do a quick pre-purchase inspection from a private sale on FB, the mechanics here are very helpful and know what they are doing.

Review №57

The manager, Matt, is extremely kind and goes out of his way to help you understand what is going on with your vehicle. Chet, one of the mechanics, is incredibly kind and extremely helpful. They are both more than happy to explain everything no matter how long it takes. They arent condescending at all, which isnt something that is frequently found in this profession. Everyone here is just trying to make sure any vehicle that comes into the shop is taken care of to the best of their ability and not just trying to make money off of scared customers. This location in particular is better than any other Ive gone to. Id recommend coming here to everyone.

Went in to get my brake pads done and it was only $139.00 dollars. The guy calls me over and says its my Calibers and gives me another estimate saying its $948.00 dollars. So I go back to Honda where I bought both of my cars from and speak to the mechanic and he says its not my Calibers. My question is why is Midas trying to charge me an extra $700.00 dollars? My car is still brand new. Honda is only charging me $238.00 dollars. Midas youre crooks and you need to be stopped. Seriously $948.00 dollars to get my brake pads done and calibers. That doesnt sound right to me. I recommend dont go to Midas because they will over charge you.

My boyfriend and I have used Midas two times so far and both times we were completely and totally satisfied with not only their professionalism but also customer service. John was so patient and knowledgable, Pat took his time and explained pricing, what needs to be done right away and what can wait. For myself personally I was so pleased at how gentlemanly the other workers were. There was no cat calling, whistling or blatten disrespect towards me like we have experienced at other garages. We will always give John and the people at Midas our business.

The manager Jon at this location is AMAZING!!! I don’t go to any other locations in this area other then the state street location they have helped my husband and I with multiple issues over the last couple of months and it seems like Jons first and foremost priority is best price and service possible.. I am a stay at home mom and have to bring my 18month old daughter to the shop with me when work is needed not only do I get top quality service (showing me first hand issues with parts) the atmosphere with my daughter is fantastic he’s even gone so far out of his way to hand my daughter crayons/paper and even just talk to her so she’s not so confused.. waiting an hr+ at this location with her she is amazing and comfortable and being a mom who has to do everything with her kid this is a BIG PLUSS Jon and his staff are very personable and friendly! I will be moving out of the area soon and I personally am upset that I will not be able to continue getting our cars serviced here!

So today I went into Midas on 1597 state street in Schenectady, ny to get an oil change and once I walked in I was told by their manager that they will call the cops on me and that I had to leave property, Now I was shocked to hear this and once I got home I called corporate and was told that they banned me because of some one else’s prior review of their business, which is sad I never got into no altercation at this business, I always went in with a smile and greeted everyone and payed my bill after the work was done, unfortunately this is the work of poor management and a business that does not care about their customers and if they did care they would have figured out a way to keep my business instead of turning me a way, I would never recommend this company again, it’s sad that these big companies don’t care about the little people especially when we are the ones that keeps them in business !!

Thank you for the generosity, Midas!My wifes car had a flat tire yesterday. I went to Midas in Schenectady on State Street with the damaged tire. They immediately started to work on repairing the tire damage and installed it back on the car. While I was standing there waiting to make the payment, I was told Dont worry about it. Its free.. I was so surprised and had to ask them to repeat what they said. This generous help from Midas employees completely changed my mood and made my day. Thank you so so so much Midas!

These guys tried to get me to open a credit card and tried charging me upwards of 3000 dollars for absolute nothing services. Literally been to upwards of 10 different car places since then that did not pick up on any problems beyond 100 dollars and these guys want me to open up a credit card to get my tires rotated? Absolutely horrible corporate greed.
