The new manager was awesome and the guys there were real efficient and helpful!
Went to get my oil changed, was able to get a last minute appointment, which I was very thankful for. Dropped off the car around 430, got a phone call at 545 that they dont have the right oil filter, but maybe the other shop has it but they dont have anyone to go get it and if I could come back the next morning. Unfortunately I wasnt able to because I had to work. Within 10 minutes someone else called me back saying that they were able to get the filter from the other shop and that I could get the car shortly. I went to get the car and left. Within a month my car was putting out random blue/white smoke, I thought it was breaking. Took it to a verified mechanic (its a VW and needs special equipment to be checked out). 200$ later I come to find out that Midas put almost 9 quarts (!!!!!!!) of oil in my car, when it barely holds 4.5, and that was why the engine was burning oil. So not only did Midas charge me almost 100$ for an oil change, but they also nearly broke my car by overfilling it with oil. And on top of that I had to pay another mechanic to find and fix the issue they caused!!!
The manager Chris and his staff took very good care of my car. There was a lot going on with my vehicle, but Chris explained everything that was wrong and what they needed to do to correct the problem. Im very much satisfied with the repairs that were done to my car. I drove back to PA a very happy customer.
They will try to get you to buy things. They told me that tires had to be 6/32 to pass Inspection and that awd cars had to have 4 replaced at the same time. Well some of those things were store policies. When I said it was to much he asked me how much was enough. I was even told my tire fasteners needed replacement. I think they are the lugs which are practically brand new. Thinking of calling the DMV they should not be able to do this; if I didnt know any better, I might of spent all this. Sure my car could use it, but I didnt have to have it.Updste: They district manager called and explained some things to me and why they would be important. I get why the work should be done. And knowing that those tires werent the cheapest would of been beneficial at the time. I know now it was just some miscommunication and me not be totally knowledgeable about cvts. Thank you Rick for taking the time to explain.
Great place, people are very professional and friendly
The guys at Midas are always helpful and make quick work of service jobs. John is very knowledgeable and takes care of his customers.
Went to appointment for inspection . was taken care of no trying to nitpic problems ,
Went in for an oil change and inspection. I had a coupon for a $19.99 oil change which said it covered most vehicles. They finished my car and proceeded to say they wont honor the coupon because they put full synthetic in at $69.99. They never once told me or the price or asked if it was ok to do the service. I was told to call midas international and make a complaint by the guy in charge. I did and have had to report the issue twice now. YOU NEED TO INFORM CUSTOMERS OF CHARGES BEYOND A STANDARD OIL CHANGE BEFORE YOU DO THE SERVICE!!!!!! AND WHY DO DEALERSHIPS CHARGE LESS THAN YOU DO? Update...after weeks of being in contact with corporate the situation was never fixed. I will never use midas again.
The staff is always friendly and does great work
Today I went in to my previously scheduled oil change appointment with my new-to-me car, and found out it takes a special type of oil. I was not prepared for such an expense, and would not have been able to get my oil changed if it were not for the amazing resourcefulness of Chris, who was working behind the front desk. He worked with me, and was so kind to me throughout the entire experience. Oftentimes I feel like men are condescending towards me when I get my car worked on, but not Chris. He was polite and courteous, and also very respectful. I was so impressed by my experience that I will surely be back after the next 5,000 miles.
The service was beyond excellent, everyone was very nice, and friendly, they did fantastic work on my Race car exhaust system. It sounds and looks fantastic and Im very pleased with their work and customer service. the Manager Chris Skinner took great care of me, and He will do the same for you!
Honestly some of the nicest, most genuine mechanics I’ve ever met. Every time I go in for an oil change, Chris and his team take the time to have a conversation with me and walk me through any issues they may see with my car. I’ve never felt that I had been talked down to or forced into making a repair I didn’t think was necessary. Super trustworthy and I could not recommend them enough!
Dropped our vehicle off Friday night around 5:30 because the brakes were making a grinding noise. Was quoted $470 when we dropped it off for front pads and rotors. We thought that was high but needed the vehicle turned around quickly so we went through with leaving it to be done. Got a call Saturday morning saying the quote had now give up to $690 due to the back rotors and pads needing to be replaced. At this point we looked up a parts package on EBay and found a set of four pads and rotors for $160 and knew we were getting screwed. When we got to the shop to pick up our vehicle we were advised that one of the rear calibers also had been faulty, so without notifying us they replaced it and the total now sat at $873. This particular store has its labor rate posted at $110/hr, which is more than any dealership or other shop I’ve ever been to. The parts total came $548, and could have not cost the shop more than $100 at their cost. That markup is insane, and highway robbery. I don’t know how the manager can sleep at night. And speaking of the manager Chris, he was ranting profanity about having to answer the phone when we came in to pick up our vehicle, and complaining to anyone who would listen that there was too many people to deal with. We will never have any of our vehicles serviced at any Midas for the rest of our lives.
Midas in Binghamton has been servicing my vehicle for years now and I couldnt be happier with each and every encounter. They are always thorough, efficient, professional, friendly and the prices are always fair! The team works well with each other and it is a pleasant (and clean) environment.Chris the Manager does an EXCELLENT job!
Went there for an issue because my mechanic couldn’t look at it for 5 days. Ended up getting a part (control arm) replaced, BUT the next day I drove it 100 miles away and it was a faulty part. Ended up costing me $800 with everything else included for their screw up. I was refunded about a week after the fact, but livid that they let me drive something that was NOT safe to drive. They definitely cut corners and I don’t trust them for anything. Use a local garage, not this place.
The staff at Midas on Court Street in Binghamton NY is competent and friendly ... They kept the lines of communication open during the entire process and helped me by making suggestions. Chris in particular made sure I understood everything he was doing and answered my questions.
I had an appointment scheduled. I had even offered to come earlier and drop my truck off for a simple state inspection. I was assured there would be no problem getting me in. One hour later, Im told they cant get to me and I could come back the next day. Not a happy camper.
For as many times as Id brought my stubborn truck in for inspection and even though it failed a good number of times not to any fault of theirs it was that the reading werent clear as to the extent of the problem a new cat fixed that and old teddy passed. descent folks and never a complaint about them doing their best to do the job right. thanks gentlemen.
I was visiting some friends in Binghamton for the weekend and not even two minutes into my drive back home to New Jersey I got a nail stuck in my tire. Midas was the closest repair shop so I drove there and spoke with Chris, the manager. Within 15 minutes they were able to take my car in to assess the damage and in less than an hour I was out with a fixed tire...for free. What could have been an extremely stressful situation was handled wonderfully and with great customer service. I would definitely recommend Midas to anyone experiencing car troubles.
Be careful leaving your car here. Someone got into my Jeep while they had it for repaires. A few thousand dollars worth of tools was stolen while in the lot. Idk how they got into a locked car without damaging it.
Took my car there for an inspection at the very end of the day. Everyone there was awesome. The guy that did the inspection even took the extra time to put the registration sticker on also. Very professional and courteous.
The service techs got my 2020 subaru in for 2 new tires 11-14-2020 and waited a few minutes while they worked and you can watch the whole service being performed on your vehicle and im happy with the service done on my vehicle.
Originally I visited Midas for a tire repair. The service manager was extremely rude. He had a stand off less than perfect professional personality. Definitely should not be around people. He told me, in a aggravated tone that my tire had a nail in the cord and it could not be repaired, I have to purchase a new tire. Noted my tire was in a new like condition. I asked him to check the computer to see if I purchased the tire form Midas. He refused, told me if I didnt purchase from Binghamton it wouldnt show up. He filled my tire with air and sent me to Advanced Auto for a quick fix. During my visit with Advanced Auto the customer service rep disclosed he too had a few unpleasant professional experience with the same managing service tech.The next day I visited Mavis. I consulted with Matt the managing service technition. Immediately he checked the computer. With relief my account was a validated purchase for the tire. Matt from Mavis was pleasantly professional, polite and he eased my anxiety about my tire with a welcoming sense of humor. I was made to feel comfortable with prompt honest customer service. The moral of my review is.. Matt from Mavis informed me my tire is repairable which means Midas tried to rip me off.I was extremely thankful for Matts outstanding humanity in customer service and wish there were more people like Matt servicing consumers, honestly.I will never forget my UNPLEASANT, INHUMANE TOTAL LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM EXPERIENCE with Midas.....
Ive recently moved to the area, but have always trusted Midas in the past. I was glad to see that this Midas had the same professionalism and knowledge as others Ive been too. I went for just an oil change and tire rotation, but they also showed me the wear on my brakes and rotors. The manager was friendly and Im very happy with their work.
I got a 2.00 p.m. appointment for a regular oil change and complimentary tire rotation on 1/18/2016.The New Manager named Chris Skinner was there. He welcomed me with utter professionalism and the whole experience was as swift as it was pleasant.I generally do NOT write reviews for places, however, as it was obvious that he was working extremely hard to enhance the reputation of this particular Midas location, I am doing so now.I would strongly recommend this Midas if you are in the area. Just remember to look for Chris Skinner. Good, swift, reliable service can be guaranteed on his watch.
They were fast and friendly when I took my car there. Even before I went, I called and they answered all my questions politely which is why I decided to go to them. They were reasonably priced and had me in and out in within an hour.
We have taken a variety of cars to this location, and are always happy with results! They dont try to take advantage of women or young drivers, and take time to explain things.... Not pushy with extra work. Chris is very nice to work with!
$70 for a full synthetic oil change? You must be out of your minds. I can get a gallon of Mobile 1 full synthetic and an oil filter for $40 at the store. So someone explain to me how I am being charged $70 when the total cost of equipment is probably between $25-$30? They also told me that my brake pads on the front of my car had 25% left on them. I bought brake pads at Autozone, and as soon as I took the caliper off, I compared the brake pads on the car to the new one, and it was actually at about 50%. They are cheats. I will never shop there again!
Great service, friendly , kind and curious. I dont remember the gentlemans name at the moment but he was a great. I am writing the review for him. My Boss and his brother bring their vehicles there all the time. They came highly recommended.
They wouldnt inspect my car because it had a different hood on it. My hood latches. Then they said they wouldnt do it because of my lights which are intact and in working condition. Wouldnt even give me another 10 day. These people are ridiculous I was singled out for no reason at all. My opinion. I literally only had to pay 21$ for an inspection and that just wasnt enough money for them. Dont come here. You tell one person they are wrong and they gang up on you wouldnt even get the hand book so they could be shown that what they are refusing isnt even on the safety list or the emissions list I recommend zero stars for this place. But in order to post I had to give it one star
Fastest in shop oil change I ever got in my life. 35 mins opposed to the typical 1.5 hours for a 20 min job . Very impressed and satisfied with there no slacking off and getting straight to work!!!
My van is 10 years old with 125 thousand miles. I bring it to Midas on Court Street for maintenance. They do quality work at a fair price. We just made it out to Lake Michigan and back with no issue. Glad I brought it in before leaving.
Only went in to check my engine light, was really nervous about having something potentially wrong with my car being a college student and all. The manager and technician both were very courteous and really explained to me a couple options available. Would recommend to anyone needing service or maintenance they really came off as professional and a couple of people in the waiting room who were regulars really praised how they took care of their cars...went to kost and a couple other places in binghamton and i always felt very sketched out but Midas felt the polar opposite
Well I came here to have my van fixed. I started out being super happy because they said they would put my struts on my van and not have to leave it over night.. So I was super happy. And well when it was finally done they said my van would make noises til the struts settle in. Bring it back in to me in one week the guy told me. So I did. He adjusted my struts and it still makes the same sound. They messed my entire right side front end all up and wouldnt fix it. I spent a lot of money there to have them fix my van. Very very unpleased they took my 400$ and didnt fix my van. I recommend going elsewhere.
They took me exactly when my appointment was scheduled. The work was done great and even had a great conversation with the manager, Chris. Ill definitely be back there!
Over priced, paid almost $200 to replace 3 out of 8 spark plugs, I replaced 5 of them. Didnt replace the spark plugs wires. I did that myself. But free info about the car was OK
I have taken my car there for years with no major issues. I prefer going to this Midas over the dealership. The staff are friendly, get the work done in a timely manner and within budget...
Worst experience Ive ever had at a garage. Overcharged me, was supposed to provide diagnostic but couldnt tell me what was wrong. Over revved my engine, left in worse shape than I came. One of the workers thought he should make lewd comments about how he could see a girls panties up her skirt while she was getting stuff from her car in the middle of when we were discussing my vehicle. Dont go there
Chris skinner midas manager is one great guy!We had a door issue that wouldnt close in our mini van with 2 children in it. Safety was Chris skinners number 1 priority.He sent our Chuck to look at it, and in minutes it was closed! Back on the road! And did I mention it was Saturday!Thats men at Midas, above and beyond your call of duty!The Z family)
Very flexible, fixed our vehicle the same day when our muffler was dragging on the road. Manager was friendly responsive. Their prompt repair was much appreciated.
The service was excellent. They were fast and friendly, the price was awesome for oil change and tire rotation. Thank you to Chris the Manager for getting me in.
I took my car down for an inspection in May 2014. As part of an issue notification they had all 4 tires off on the lift for the visual aid. It is now September 2014 and I went to go take off my front drivers side tire and it appears their technician had over tightened 3 of my lug nuts and stripped them. Had to break them to get the tire off. I called this shop and the manager claims that it was not their fault even though they were the last ones that touched that tire. The manager claimed that studs stretch over time and this happens sometimes even though its 3 of the lugs/studs on one wheel.
I’m in the Miltary and I was moving from NY to NC when about the Binghamton area I had some serious car trouble. I was calling all the mechanics in the area asking for help and it wasn’t going well, so I tried Midas and asked if they possibly look at it that day or in the morning. Chris and his crew not only fit my car into their schedule but was able to fix all my issues and had me out the door by the end of the day. I owe the team at Midas for helping me out even though I was a pain to deal with.P. S. Thanks Chris the A/C is kickin now
A simple oil change and tire rotation. I had taken it there before and i noticed they did not rotate tires. This time I asked if they had done it, they said they could not get the lug nuts off the wheels. when i got home, I noticed spiderwebs around the lugs, and all of them came off with a small lug wrench with no problem. I called Sean for an explanation as to why I was able to get them off with not problem but they could not with an impact wrench and got a huge attitude. Had to call corporate, and enjoyed watching them rotating my tires after being forced. I know it is a cheap price for oil change and rotation but that doesnt mean you try to get out of it. Will never go there again for anything.
Horrible management scammers and nobody is really certified
New to the area and have had good experiences at midas in the past. Went for an oil change at this location and jt was done quickly and easily with no hassle. Great job by the mechanics at Midas
Had a emergency on a road trip, Chris was awesome, Jesse was so courteous, and John did a thorough job on the car.Grateful for such professional help!Thanks a million!!
No complaints here. Scheduled a routine inspection and oil change. Got in on time and quick turn around. Got a detailed report of what was looked at and done. No BS up sells attempted either which is a huge plus!
One of the worst trips to a mechanic i have ever had. Charged me for an inspection, snapped my emergency brake during testing, and then quoted me $500 to fix it. Plus i would have had to pay for two separate inspections.I will not be returning and i strongly discourage anyone else from going there as well.
It was great they mount and balance tires for 20$ each John one of the mechanics there is really nice and above all they dont rip you off.
Great experience. My go to place for most of my cars maintenance.
Got a new battery installed there and was told everything would now be good. I still was having problems so I brought it to another shop to find that the battery was installed incorrectly at Midas.
Trustworthy, Friendly, understanding and efficient men. Awesome environment. Fair pricing and offer great financing for expensive repairs.
They got me in much quicker than Monroe could and I had a flat tire. Everything was quick and professional
Excellent customer service, the technicians go above and beyond to help and make sure you have all the information you need to make decisions about your car.
I always bring my vehicles here. The manager Chris is great and always shows exactly what needs to be worked on and doesnt do any work that is not necessary.
Very pleasant to deal with
I’ve had nothing but good experiences here. The staff have always been kind and do a great job of explaining things for me.
Thy always keep my spaceship fully maintained
Excellent, quick, professional and very thorough. Chris, the manager was awesome. At least id assume hes the manager, if not he should be!
Excellent customer serviceGreat job and always thorough.
Chris is professional, friendly, helpful and welcoming. I always get good service here.
They were very personable, the service was quick and professional and the price was good.
Quick fast friendly, had oil change very cheap. Wow.
Were unable to fix my vehicle but they were friendly.
Awesome mechanic works at court street in Binghamton location Tuesday s thru Saturdays it him up
Very dishonest. When I tried to speak to the manager he hung up on me. Did not want stand behind the workmanship of his technician.
Not the fastest service but they do get the job done if your in a pinch
The folks were cordial. Ultimately couldnt help me, not for lack of trying.
Very friendly!
They are such friendly people. And did not try to sell me anything I didnt need.
I wouldnt recommend this place, when they did my car they did it carelessly, and my wheel alignment was not successful.
Had a bad experience last visit but decided to give them another try
Very friendly and always explain things very clearly and fix things in a timely manner.

2022-04-09So I’ve been coming to this Midas for almost 6 years and normally things were good. After switching out my tires, I asked them to do a check to let me know if anything needs to be replaced soon. They came back and told me I needed my rear shocks replaced and it’d be $600. Specifically they said the shocks in the car were the ones the car came with (the car is over 10 years old). I then took the car to another shop that quoted me cheaper ($400). They call me two hours after dropping the car off saying that my shocks were in great condition and don’t need to be replaced AT ALL. Midas was going to take out perfectly fine parts and charge me for a service that didn’t even need to be done. AVOID AT ALL COSTS, they will lie and try to scam you. Makes me wonder how many unnecessary repairs they did in the past on my cars.

2022-05-31There is a new manager on board now. He is determined, no nonsense and aimed to fully serve the customer. I was impressed by his work ethic and demeanor as I watched him encounter very stressful situation. I’m heading back there as future needs arise and I recommend that you do too.

2022-07-09Very professional. Not your average chain tire shop. The manager runs a real business and knows his customers. I came here by chance and already returned and will so again.

2021-04-05Came to get tires and an alignment. The gentlemen I talked to were both professional and took care of any paperwork quickly. The install of tires were done good. Pretty quick on the amount of time it took. Good dudes there. Call and get an appointment though. They get busy. Two thumbs up guys. The four star is only cause of some pricing confusion.

2022-01-15Never have been there until today and the mechanic was very nice and put air in my tires for me for free and it really helped me out I had been to a bunch of different gas stations and the air machines were all broken and so I just decided to stop and they helped me I will be returning :)
