Ill NEVER go to this place again. I went to get an oil change and they charged me for an oil change that was not discussed on the phone the night before. Then the day of, they did not ask me, nor did the give me the opportunity to say yes or no for the more expensive oil change. Then, they were telling me I needed this and that. Well 2 weeks later my car started leaking oil all over my garage floor. So, I took it to another mechanic and so they took my car into their garage to look at it. They told me that1. Midas had put the wrong oil filter on my car. It was for another car.2. The oil they put in was more likely overfilled because after leaking the oil. It was still between the fill and low line3. The drain nut was looseI took the report I got from the mechanic shop back to Midas and demanded my money back. The manager apologized to me and said that the guy that worked on my car was new. I told him, Well then get someone to watch over him or get that guy out of there and get him more training.I will NOT be going back there and I recommend you dont either!!My rating: πππππ
They are very cool π if I need any work done they are the best.
Great customer service esp Mike at the front desk. Fair pricing and an overall great experience.
Ive never been more thankful and appreciative of the exceptional, respectful and professional way that Mike R leads his staff, and together genuinely cares for their customers...their diligent and thorough work reflect the work of honest and defining integrity and service that can be trusted! There are many good leaders in business...but few are Great, as that type of leader goes beyond the good and genuinely strives for excellence in every aspect, because Mike R. does it because its the right thing to do.
Michael Richards is no longer at this location. The new people running this place are just there for the money no real automotive knowledge. Highly recommend to go somewhere else.
Mike was awesome with his customer service. Very friendly and funny. He provided my battery and tire services and offered other tire services as well.He even offered they can pick up my car while at work to service if needed...very convenient!
Mike and the guys are great!!! Mike was knowledgeable and made us feel welcome and comfortable. They did the work in the time we were told and they did a GREAT job!!!! We highly recommend this Midas!!!! Thanks again
I took my car here because my brakes failed and my car would overheat sometimes. At first they called me on my phone and quoted that it would cost 1800$ to fix both things, that my radiator neeed to be replaced, i told him i couldnt afford to pay 1800, i told him to just fix the car brake failure. Then he gave me another quote saying they fix both problems for 1400. He was like hustling me. My car is not worth that much and paying such high price is not worth it. I rather take the risk taking it to backyard mechanic. My car has a value of about 2500. So any way i had them fix my brake failure problem which ended up expensive. Later on i took my car to another mechanic to check the radiator and he said it was in good condition, no replacement needed. Midas told me that it had a leak, which was a LiE. I use to take my cars to fix at Midas and they were always honest and fair, now this happened and now they lost my TRUST..
I was on a roadtrip and our brakes started to act up. Luckily I called Midas right away the next morning and they were able to fit me in and get me back on the road quickly. Mike was extremely accommodating and his demeanor was very pleasant and professional. Id like to say Id come back for my routine maintenance but I live way out of state.
I had a bad tail light that needed replacing and I brought it in and Mike changed it out and serviced us right away so that my family did not even have to get out of the car. I scheduled an appointment for the next day to get brand new tires and I was in and out of there in no time. Where this place really earned my business was in their customer service. They were courteous, respectful, and timely. They were upfront and honest about costs and made it really a stress-free experience.
Amazing customer service
BEST service in Tulare County. It was my first time there and Mike was so helpful. Mike, thank you so much for all your help. You honestly have the best service here in Tulare County. I couldnβt be happier with the service and the staff.
I just want to say thanks to Manuel, Mike and the rest of the team at this location. They came to me from a referral and I needed major help with a massive oil leak I had on my 1999 Jetta. They took it in on a Saturday, got to it in a timely manner and gave me a breakdown of the possibilities and estimate. We waited for the hard-to-find German parts to come in and they got to the car right away. I got a call with the news that they discovered it might only be an o-ring that would need to be replaced and not the whole oil filter bracket. They replaced the o-ring, reinstalled the existing bracket and...it worked! They returned the ordered part, saving me almost $300 and charged me only the cost of the o-ring labor and oil. I am so surprised and appreciative at their honesty and integrity, which is hard to find in this industry.The guys here have also gone way above-and-beyond to help with other instances I have had with this car. I cant thank you enough. My experience with Manuel Mendoza and Mike Richards at this location has been outstanding and I give them my highest recommendation if you are in need of auto repair, service or parts. Thank you guys!
DO NOT GO TO MIDAS!Had my car towed to Midas thinking I could trust them, BIG MISTAKE. I had to get my engine, waterpump & radiator replaced (along with having other services done to get my car in good shape).Over the course of 2 mnths, my car was in their shop for the majority of that time due to continuous misdiagnoses & faulty parts that needed to be replaced after already having replaced them thru Midas. I continuously gave them the opportunity to fix their mistakes and I was very patient as I rather have them take their time to work on my car and get it done right than rush thru it & end up having to deal with more headaches. Or so I thought.During one of the many times I had to take my car bk to Midas, they somehow managed to break my drivers seat headrest & sent me off thinking I wouldnt notice. I returned the nxt morning right at opening and asked Mike if they had any work that involved them being inside of my car, to which he replied no. I asked this bcuz it very much looked like the damage of the headrest had to have came from someone pulling on it from the backseat. They offered to repair it & did not charge me but did claim it was just a bad clip on the inside of the headrest.During this time I had also paid for my brakes, wheels & tires to be checked & ended up replacing 2 of my tires. According to Mike, my wheels worked fine so their suggestion was to keep them & replace my tires. After this, I had noticed my tire becoming low on air & unfortunately Midas had once again misdiagnosed the actual problem. My tire was shredded. At this point they still hadnt diagnosed my wheel correctly, after having said that they dunked it & had me purchase a 3rd tire to replace that one.It took 2 weeks & ME contacting them to ask if my headrest had came in yet to get it replaced. When I spoke to Mike about scheduling a time I could go in, I mentioned to him my tire was still not holding air & that it had gotten worse nw. I let him know I had to be checking my tire pressure before leaving the house & was upset that I had paid over 7 grand at that point to not have a dependable car.When I took my car back to have my headrest replaced they also checked my tire & wheel to see what the problem was. They asked me to go into the store @ the end of the day & told me they wanted to show me what they had discovered. Mike sprayed solution on my wheel to show me the bubbles forming, telling me that I had to replace my wheel bcuz there wasnt a way to fix that problem. Mike said that I must have hit something very hard to have it crack the way it did during the 2 weeks I had my car. I hadnt & expressed that I was upset that this was a reoccurring issue on the same wheel and tire we had previously discussed numerous time. I let Mike know that it was obvious to me that this was another misdiagnoses on their behalf and that bcuz of it my wheel had only gotten worse over time and that the 3rd tire I had purchased from them should be refunded to me bcuz if they had diagnosed it correctly I wouldnt have had to purchase it to begin with. To which he got upset and refused. The only solution he offered was to outsource and see if a local welding company could fix it. So he kept my wheel, and sent me off on my spare.After waiting MORE time, I finally heard back from Mike. More bad news. He informed me that the welding company could not fix it & that the crack was strange bcuz of the placement. Which was weird, bcuz his first claim was that I would have had to hit my wheel very hard. He also let me know that I wouldnt be recieving a refund nor would they be replacing my wheel.I called corp. who then had to contact resolutions to file a investigation bcuz the store manager hadnt responded to their attempts to speak to him. After a month, Mike contacted me to refund me the 3rd tire purchase but failed to have my cash when he asked me to go in. More time wasted.Here I am 3 months later & over $7000 paid to NOT have a dependable car, STILL on my spare & have no money to go elsewhere bcuz I spent my entire savings.
Midas in VISALIA has always treated me with the up most respect they are truly reliable, & I am pleased when I visit for my car needs Got new tires Mike helped me save money on my tires, the guys are kind and respectful as well, thank you for making my experience with MIDAS amazing π
Mike and his crew have been great with my car(s). I think my sequoia is the third car that they have worked on for me and the service is always GREAT.Always an honest evaluation with reasonable pricing!
I have been taking my vehicles to this Midas since I was 16. I have them check all my cars before long trips. I even call and ask about particular cars before purchasing. Mike and his crew are great. They arenβt some speedy in and out shop, but thatβs because they are busy and they do the work right. Mike runs his business with honesty and integrity. I know from my own experience as well as friends and family, he wonβt try to up sell you. He gives you options and gets you on the road and safely.
They saved me lots of money. theyre thorough and professional with their work. they do more than whats required for the customer with no added expense. thank you Midas! you get 5 stars from a 1st time customer (me) and a lifetime customer. So proud to report this.
Mike and his crew have kept my older vehicles going for several years. This has been a much less expensive alternative then going out and getting a new vehicle. They are honest and stand behind their work.
Good work, thorough and very friendly and helpful. I had an oil change, tire rotation and a fuel filter inspection. I was really impressed at the time that they spent making sure that the work was done correctly and the price cant be beat!Thank you so much! I will be a returning customer!
Very clean, excellent customer service
Itβs a great reasonable place. They did perfect Alignment with free inspection and applied discount (you donβt need to take any coupons with you). Seth knows already what to do π
I would highly recommend!Got the AC fixed on my 1981 Chevy G30. Michael was extremely helpful and took the time to make sure I was comfortable and knew exactly what work was being done. The rest of the team were also very friendly and helpful.Its tough to find a reliable auto repair centre. These guys went the extra mile taking time to help me out on a Saturday afternoon to get me set for my trip down to LA then Vegas and the Grand Canyon.Thanks for the help!
Honestly, honesty is the most expensive car part you can purchase in my opinion in the car industry. That may be applicable to a few other Industries as well.. that being said new to this beautiful V8 driven Visalia I was looking for a goodol coin for steel price like how Dad did it and after doing business with surrounding auto shop Ill just say I miss the old way of doing things, Michael and his team offer just that. After driving my vehicle for a few days Im confident in there work this is the second vehicle taken to them and there will be a third. π
Good priced for synthetic oil and tire rotation. Got me right in and out in 43 minutes. Wish the waiting area was better!
Awesome people! From the moment i walked in mike (the manager) was super friendly and easy to deal with! I will totally be going back for all my car needs!
My husband had a 10:00 A.M. appointment 3/2/19 and didnt get out of there till 4:00 P.M. He had new breaks put on in Nov 2018. We went on a trip to Newport, Ca. And coming down a hill to a stop light, he put the breaks and they made a grinding sound. Concerned us both. Made appointment on the way home for the next morning. They checked the breaks and said they worked fine. The sound was just because they were new and just cosmetic. My husband told them we usually pull a 8,500 lb trailer and we need the breaks to work good not just fine, without grinding. So the manager offered to replace the break pads with heavy duty break pads. The same ones he puts on emergency vehicles he said. We paid extra for them. The other thing, my husband took an older customer of theirs to his home because they couldnt give him a ride .(They were keeping his car overnight ) And he was sick with the flu. We sprayed Lysol all over our truck when my husband finally got home. What a joke this place is. Will not recommend it. And will not go back.
Excellent service! Mike was flexible and friendly during the auto maintenance service. Oil change & tire rotation done quickly.
Excellent service every time! I had my Lexus and Mercedes serviced at this location and never had an issue. Thank you to the employees for always making my trip simple, quick and hassle free.
Anytime I need any kind of vehicle care, I go to Mike at Midas. Quick, detailed and honest. Couldnt ask for better service. Thanks Mike, Seth and the rest of the team.
They have always been quick and honest about issues with my car. Never tried to push things on me that I didnt need
Did an oil change and rotated my tires and my front tire started shaking and felt like it was gonna come off and when I took it back the guy said he βdid not β hear the noise and come to find out I need to get struts and bearing for my car 10/10 would not recommend this place
These guys are the best. They actually physically showed me the problem and explained to me what job certain parts of the engine play in the preformance. The workers are very nice and well mannered and they are all very wise when it comes to fixing your car. The only kicker is its 95 and hour for labor. If you can afford that definitely bring your car here.
This place is a joke..all day there for a alignment and when done after 6hrs or more my stearing wheel was upside down when driving straight..they said its not a big deal to other people, but just bring it in wow!! Plenty of more things that happen that day that i cant even get to because of frustration trying to explain..worthless and cant believe people even go there. This place is a Fraud!!
Great friendly service very helpful
Ive been here a couple times for my vehicle.. both times the car was done when promised and the repairs were explained thoroughly to me before the work was done. Prices are competitive with other places too. I definitely recommend this place to others!
Good service done in a timely manner
I always get great service here. Mike and Seth and all the staff is great. All 3 of my vehicles go here. The one thing i would change is a quick oil change lane so that my wife would take it in more vs. One of those quick lubes. I would like to have 100% of my service there, but the wife is very impatient. Lol.
The guys at our Midas are wonderful... I love to go there as they are so helpful....they check everything out....Iβm not fond of the bill at the end...but they fix it all well and are soooo kind....
Out on a road trip. 11th hour issue with under plate. They helped out immediately. We got home safe.Thank you!
Sketchy. Had an employee point out a simple fix then his boss butts in and started making it seem like it was a huge deal and very rudely insisted we needed to have them do a $200 troubleshoot not including labor at $95 an hour! Long story short I had my mechanic fix the issue in 15 minutes and didnt spend even half what Midas wanted to charge.
They specialize in troubleshooting, inspection, evaluation, and explanations.Automotive technicians that ACTUALLY troubleshoot, inspect, and offer their recommendations as well as the reasoning behind their recommendations. Every visit (four times, I think), either repair or routine maintenance, has had long term and lasting positive results down the road. 170k miles down and another 200k or more to go, I hope, with their TLC maintenance.A couple experiences. My transmission was shifting rough around 30 mph. I took it to a local transmission specialist shop. They shotgun troubleshot the problem from the desk and just swapped out some solenoids within the transmission. I didnt want them touching my car again so I found Midas in Visalia. They diagnosed the issue to one of the three speed sensors in the drive line being faulty. Swapped it out and it shifts much smoother now. I had an A/C fan shutdown issue at certain driving conditions. They troubleshot it COMPLETELY and told me exactly which part is bad, how it is likely broken, how cheap the part is, and how labor intensive (expensive $) itd be to dig the part out of the dash. The way they explain their findings have always left me with a feeling that I understand the condition of my car a LOT better than any other shop Ive ever been to. Shop around for prices if you want (car repairs arent cheap), but personally, I find it difficult to put a price on the piece of mind I get here.
I needed major repairs to my 2002 Crown Victoria. I can always go to Midas in Visalia knowing I will be treated fairly and receive the best possible service. I highly recommend this Midas location.
Michael answered the phone, made arragements to see me on Saturday and had the problem diagnosed and repaired on a weekend. I apprecaite the weekend service!
Excellent service and personal employees that make everyone feel welcome.
Theyβre great there and get the work done quickly :)the coupons are nice to help out the cost as well !
The service is always top notch and I know what to expect. Going in for an oil change, you get a 25 point inspection and it is well worth an extra few minutes to wait. If something is wrong with my car, they offer to fix it, but I never feel pressured. Best experience with Midas hands down!
Ive brought my truck in for my rear brakes squealing 3 times, each time they say dirty brakes, rims are too big, tires are too wide. This time they say I have leaking cylinders I need new drums brake pads are worn down significantly. I said put it back together you didnt see this months ago when I brought it in.,,,,,,,, REALLY NOT COOL,,,,
Kind employees and great service π
Seth and Mike are great! They really have concern about your vehicle, do great work and have great prices!
Great π
Very trustworthy place to do business with. I recommend them highly. Work on a variety of cars, Lexus and Honda as two examples. Give Mike a call.
Friendly, knowledgeable, decent waiting area.
When engine warning lights all came on and started to randomly flash I headed to Midas. The engine died as I rolled into the parking lot. Mike quickly responded, opened the hood, assigned a mechanic to trouble shoot the problem. Within thirty minutes the diagnosis was: failed alternator and belt tensioner. The parts were in stock. Informed that the repairs would take up to three hours. Went to lunch, returned within ninety minutes the repairs were completed. I surely will return.
I got a oil change there. It was a very friendly service. I wish they would of shared the inspection results with me.No problems with the service.
Put over 20 miles on my car βtest drivingβ. Owner dropped me off in my car at my appt 1/2 mile away and said he would test drive it on highway the way back.Came back to grab a cord from my car after 3 hours and my car was GONE. Waited 10 minutes after the guy at the counter called the owner to bring it back. Owner pulls up and the cars passenger seat is almost the whole way back. Claims he was on its 2nd test drive (actually 3rd since he drove it to drop me off) because the technician didnβt hear anything. I asked who was in the passenger seat and he said he had to βfigure out who the technician was....to see if 2 techs went.β How do you not know which tech test drove the car if they told you they didnβt hear a sound?? He still hasnβt provided and answer for why my car passenger seat was set for a 400lb man. If you want your car to be used for dropping customers off, use Midas.
Excellence in service and trustworthiness; I used this particular store multiple times and each visit was more than satisfactory. The staff and mechanics are efficient and reliable; qualities that I admire.
The classic
This is the best shop they have six bays to work on cars the waiting room is clean and the mechanics are the best in the business
Mike and his staff will back up their work. I had a problem with replacement cats and they fixed the problem TWO years after service. This is a philosophy you donβt see much anymore.
Excellent . The Manager and Crew are friendly and well trained. They will tell you everything whats wrong with your vehicle.
Your always helpful you go above & beyond to make sure my car is safe to drive plus the prices arent to bad either
Dealt with Mike, the owner. Brought my company vehicle in for some ac work explained to him that I could not be down for very long, bam, I was in & out. Also honest, gave me the option of choosing a expensive connector or the el cheapo. If they see anything amiss they will let you know & ask if you want it checked out, great service for a reasonable price.
Way overpriced they will take it vantage of you ...
Seth and Mike are very knowledgeable and always will go into detail with whats going on with your vehicle.
Very good service, very friendly, very helpful. Lets customer know what is wrong, does not price gouge.
I purchased an oil change with free tire rotation at the Visalia location, Ive recently changed my oil with another company which notified me that the last place that changed the oil strip the oil plug(Witch was Midas). On top of that I just purchased new tires they notified me that all of the lug nuts on my truck are stripped. never going to Midas again.
Friendly staff and great service
π― satisfied every visit
Good ownership/management. Always very clear. I wouldnt take my vehicle anywhere else.
Brought my car a week ago came back and they had good customer service. My car is working better then when I brought it in.
Fast service helpful attitude
Went in without an appointment,they got my car right in. I got oil change and tires rotated, all for a reasonable price!
Trustworthy! Only place we take my cars to.
It was awesome felt how the manager treat to what customer wants really, i was bad experience at Midas Merced for over 3 years but this Midas Visalia location better and almost perfect services.
My car ran out of gas and I coasted into the Midas parking lot, I went inside to explain what had happened and that I may be parked there for a few hours until I could scrounge up some gas money, but they had a gas can and gave me two free gallons, they couldve just gave me enough to get out of their parking lot or nothing at all, thank you Midas!
Been here once and they made a great impression
I found their service to be thorough and liked how they took the time to explain in laymans terms what they found wrong and what they did to fix it. I would recommend them to friends and family
Dont go to this place people specially if you have laxury cars because nothing but a ripoff!!(over priced)...$50 problem they charged you $250+ πππWhen you go there make sure you double check the price on any auto shop before you even let them touch your vehicle coz this happened to me twice already..One more thing,This is very important!!! When they call you to go pick up your car pls do this!!..make sure that you take a look at every single parts that they installed make sure that they did replace it make sure that its a new one not the same ones!..I have learned from my mistakes for not double checking everything before leaving from this shopπππππ....
Never going back here again. Its been my 2nd time coming here with Michael and he overprice everything!! DONT GO and loos your time and $!
The Visalia Midas replaced my timing belt, a sensor and a few other things. The car drove home w/o a problem. We went on vacation for about a couple weeks and didnt use the car. When we got back it didnt run right it would shake violently ... I took it back and asked them to check it out. WHen I went to pick it up, the owner Mike, said they fixed it, NO CHARGE, and it is running like a champ! I took it for a test drive and they are absolutely right. That old car is running better than it has in a long time.I have been a customer there for a couple years now and I will continue to be one as long as I live in the area.
Knowledgeable, competent, considerate and thorough. I trust their opinions and work.
Called to get pricing and Michael answered the phone Hello and nothing else I then asked whos this? To which he replied Micheal. I then asked if it was a business line I had called or a house number and he rudely replied BUSINESSHis phone demeanor and tone of voice was enough for me to know I dont want to to do business with Midas and Im appaled thats how they answer their phones!
Just wasted 3 hours waiting for a diagnostic on my AC for them to tell me it only needs to be recharged and it will cost 300 dollars!! But since i refuse to pay that, i have to wait another half an hour for coolant to be drained from my system.
Great job
I was extremely disappointed in the relationship that the coworkers had with one another. The man running the front desk communicated very poorly with the technician who serviced my car, and they both treated each other with contempt... RIGHT in front of me. I could not believe it. In addition, the man working behind the desk did not give me the complete paperwork when I finished, making the two hours I waited for a complete diagnostic a complete waste of time.I have never felt as though Midass was a very honest company. Many times I have been told that something was somewhat urgent and needs to be done, when in actuality every other auto repairmen says the contrary. I will never be returning to this particular Midass, and will more than likely never visit another because of it.
They are very nice and friendly
Theybwerenablentp do what unneeded in the timeframe I needed it done. I will return.
Great service and products
Another auto repair shop. Nothing special about their service.
Had a 10:45 appointment that was not met. Waited for an hour and finally had to leave
They have been around forever, know what there doing βββββ from me
Not trustworthy at all they tell me I need a new 300 dollar a.c. blower motor when all I needed was the harness connection what a rip off and to top it off they charge me for the time my car was there but it was only worked on for 30 min but they charged me for 3 hours what in the hell you guys need to change things soon before they close you down
The staff are top notch
Great service
Prices are to high
SAVED MY BUTT!!! I was passing through town with a new banging noise in my car. They investigated, stayed late to fix it, and sent me on my way. Above and Beyond!
They checked my car out, and I found out my newish car was OK!
Come here if you want a 2 hour oil change with no one else waiting....
Great service!
