Midas in other cities:
I scheduled a trip with my family for the 4th of July holiday, our plans were to leave the house at 2:00pm on the 1st of July. I just want to check my car wheels as they were shaking a little. I called the store on Wednesday the 29th of June, and I was told that there would be two times available on Thursday the 30th of June, so I left my car at the store at 8:30 am, to pick it up at the end of the same day, ( the clerk told me it would be ready by that time of day) when I arrived at the store at 5:40pm, they hadnt even looked at the car yet, so he told me I could leave the car there and assured me that on Friday July 1st at 8:30am they would work on the car and that by 12:00 it would be ready. When I arrived at the store at 12:05, he handed me the key and said they didnt have time to look at the car. With that I need to travel and I cant find any other place with available times. This is being a disaster for me and my family. Lack of commitment and respect.
Had a good overall experience. Had them change out my summer tires for snows I had bought. Only problem was I had a 10 am appointment and didnt get in till 3:30pm. Cant be mad at the people there because some of the workers didnt show up to work that day. Or so I was told. Overall they did what I wanted and I didnt have any problems.
John was extremely professional offering his expertise, experience, & his time working on our vehicle. He explained in detail pros & cons of when each repair should be done. Offered to transport us to & from our home to make being car less for the day a bit easier. John made sure we were a priority as he knew our vehicle is how we make a living bc my fiancé does food delivery. He went above & beyond (professionally) to make sure we had a great customer experience.
As a Mini Cooper driver, there are not many places who are able (or willing) to work with my car. Not only was Jon professional and knowledgeable, he was also reassuring. There was a ‘major issue’ with my car in which my dealer was going to charge me an incredible amount of money. Jon (and peers) were timely AND affordable!I am thankful I found this local gem! Highly recommend!
I got a flat in my smart car nearby (sidewall tear, so needed a replacement) - called aaa for a tow. They never showed, so I limped my car to Midas. While they didnt have the tire for my car (smart car with a rarified sized tire and no spare), they let me keep my car in their lot and recommended local places to seek a tire. I ended up having to pick one up pretty far away but they understandingly let me keep the car there and put the tire on graciously and affordably when I brought the 165/65 15 tire to them ($21). Super appreciative of their kindness on phone and in person and helping me through a stressful moment. Highly recommend these guys for any tire work, considering my experience.
Jon and his crew were great to work with. Had (6) tires changed out, they were able to do a price match and saved me headaches and $$. Highly recommended. He also helped me out with my sons car, timing belt, water pump, exhaust system, and brakes, I felt he was honest and trust worthy , not like he was trying to upsell on anything, just an honest assessment of the situation and offered options. We also took my wifes car here for an oil change, much easier that scheduling an appointment with the dealer.
This was my first time at a Midas Service Center in decades. I was very impressed at how well the services and repairs were made to my car. The service manager was helpful and accurate about time needed to do the service work and make a repair. Overall I was very pleased with this shop and would use them again for car repairs.
Hey it’s Heather,Just wanted to say thank you to you guys.Wanted to let everyone know this place is absolutely the best in town. I have gone to so many mechanics and they have done above and beyond what others have tried doing and couldn’t figure out. They helped me and worked with me on many issues I had involving some hard work. The steering knuckle issue I had being one of them. So happy to have found you all and will be returning here for all my Kia Sportage needs. You all are just wonderful. I saved money with my new tires and my windows finally are working again too. Just a great company. Thank you again for everything.
Live in Latham, wife works Clifton Park. She sent a text Monday that her car is loud! HOY! I took 4 days off to get other things done (NOPE)...wife, car, noise, wife noise...no good. Found Midas on Rt. 9 near her office and called. Jon said he could get me in that afternoon. Sat down next to me like he was sorry I had to put my cat down and explained the part would be there the next AM. I came back Tuesday and within 1 hour 10 minutes, car was done. Jon walked me to the patient and showed me the operation was a success. I waited for the usual garage BS for 2 days and it never happened. SO used to that. Excellent job, Jon was awesome and Sebastian on his 2nd day on the counter were both what I havent seen in a long time. Wife happy! Great job to your entire staff!! You deserve this review! Can you put a muffler on my wife?
Great service and professionalism! I found myself in a bind trying to complete a DYI project for my exhaust. I called about 5 different repair shops, all of which were “busy” before giving me the time of day. Jon heard me out, had me come into the shop without an appointment, and was able to help me out in a short amount of time!I recommend them if you’re in a bind!
Dropped off my car Friday for an 11am appt. at 5pm they called to tell me they never looked at it and wanted to keep it over night and do the work in the morning. Saturday morning they called to say it was ready and we asked if they could lock the keys in the car for us to pick up after 5 and we were told that’s no problem. We showed up after 5 and my car is locked inside the garage. Oh and the best part is they’re closed tomorrow. So at best I’ll be able to get my car around 8am Monday from a 11am Friday appointment. The level of unprofessionalism at this place is insane.
Cant say enough good things about my experience at this location. Jon was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. He took the time to go over his entire quote item by item and explain what was needed and why. My car was ready earlier than expected and there were no hidden charges..... I would highly recommend Midas of Clifton Park. When you go in ask for Jon you wont be disappointed.
I’d like to say I was very reluctant to go to a mitis because of the horror stories I’ve heard but thankfully I did because John has been the most helpful given Karen manager I think I’ve ever met I will continue to bring business here because it’s honest and I will refer everyone I know to him .You should be very grateful to have John running your sore because I greatly have appreciated his customer care.:). Happy Customer
These guys are great! I am so grateful for their fantastic service and will definitely be going back again. They brought me in, last minute without an appointment, on a very busy day (first bad storm of the year, i am 6 months pregnant and was terrified to drive without snow tires) put snow tires on for me and even put a new sensor in and changed my oil. They then were nice enough to put my moms snow tires on (who had to drive an hour home in the storm) at the end of their very busy day. All of the staff were very nice and very knowledgeable!
It was my first time at Midas. I called before I came and was spoken to with courtesy and professionalism, over the phone as well as greeted when I entered Midas, by Manager Josh. He has excellent customer service. I spoke to mechanic Jon who also was professional and explained detail what was needed to get my car inspected. They worked like a team. They did beautiful work. I was highly satisfied and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this business over any other. Thank you for welcoming me to Clifton Park.
Previously had went to Midas in Albany and was very disappointed. Went for an inspection and oil change at the Clifton park branch and could not have been happier with the experience.Jon was honest, professional and only suggested what was necessary. 11/10 and will recommend to friends and family.
This place is wonderful. I had tires shipped to this location and they installed them for cheaper than my personal mechanic. The manager is out and Justin is running the show this week. He is very friendly, professional, and definitely knows what he’s doing. If he hadn’t told me about the manager, I never would’ve guessed, that’s how smoothly things are running. I will take my car back to these guys any time.
This place is the worst service center I have ever been. They are unprofessional. I went to get my cars state inspection and tire rotation done. The store incharge Jon Jarvis gave me estimation before and when I returned he told me that two of the tire lug nuts have broken and needs to be replaced. Charged me 20$ for each one so extra 40$ which was way expensive and it would cost me 6$ a piece online. Anyways I settled the amount and was about to leave then I noticed that my trunk was not opening to keep the stuff inside. This time they told me that the trunk was already faulty which is absolutely ridiculous and lie. I will have to spend extra bucks for fixing the trunk.I have raised complaints against them at Midas, Florida. So guys beware of the tricksters here. They will loot you. Go somewhere else if you dont want to get cheated.
When I walked into the building, I was greeted at the door! The gentlemen Johnathan,Tyler and Justin ... first question was how they could assist me,even offered oil change,alignment and their service warranty! Very professional and very hospitable! I keep my eye out for that sort of thing! I’ll definitely travel extra again for these quality customer servicemen! Thank you!
Excellent service! The staff is mostly friendly. Have only ever had one issue after service and it was taken care of promptly, no discussion or problem. The lady who checks you in at the front, Tina is absolutely wonderful! Shes always friendly, helpful, answers all questions, and doesnt have a problem checking with the technicians/mechanics to go over any and all questions/concerns Ive ever had. The manager, Todd is pretty decent and nice. Comes out and talks with the customers as well. The techs, most of them seem fairly decent and pleasant. They seem to be very thorough and pay attention to detail. Theyre also very courteous and conscientious regarding keeping vehicle seats and interior clean while theyre working on vehicle.I have 2 vehicles and will not take either of them any place else.
John is excellent! I was running a little late and he wasn’t pushy or upset. He was understanding and was able to help me out expeditiously with my flex pipe on my car! All off the Midas staff are very efficient with a positive attitude! I recommend everybody to come to Midas! What ever the problem is they can help!!!!
I really don’t like having to post negative reviews..I don’t enjoy it. People have off days, bad days, long weeks, etc, I get it. But, my experience today with the Clifton Park Midas was not pleasant. Drop off of my vehicle was fine as I called same day for the appointment but I was never given an estimated time for the oil change/tire rotation to be done. Dropped off the vehicle at 10:30 AM. Fast forward to a little after 3 PM and I receive a call from the store (I believe I was dealing with Jon Jarvis based on paperwork but not 100% sure). He called to inform me that they needed to use high mileage motor oil for my vehicle which is fine, my car has over 96,000 miles on it and I wouldn’t expect them to use anything else. However he then informed me that I had snow tires on my vehicle and that they could not/would not rotate those. Rather than discuss that over the phone with him I figured to wait until I got to the store. Once there he mentioned again how I had snow tires on the vehicle to which I replied that they are actually All-Weather tires. He replied again “they say snow on them”. The tires in question are Kumho Solus HA31 listed as an all-weather/4 Season tired designed for improved snow and ice traction and do meet the requirements of a “snow tire” which was something I wanted having a small FWD vehicle. Additionally I never had the paper work gone over with me and when I inspected the paperwork at home I noticed there was a Technician Note stating “RR tire chopping?” Unclear on what exactly the last word says as I can’t make it out and it was not brought to my attention. The associate (Jon?) also just seemed short with me and brushed off my claim about the tires and my leaving was awkward, standing there until having to ask if “I was good to go” as nothing had been stated by him.I came to this Midas as I always had excellent service at the Saratoga Springs location but, after today and $64 later for just an oil change and no tire rotation I’m a little disappointed with this location.
It was not a pleasant experience at this location. I almost spent 2 and half hours with an appointment just for an oil change. Over priced, and they try to get you do other things you did not ask for. I dont understand how they manage to get away with charging 75 dollars for an oil change. I have read good reviews about this place , and that is the reason I went there. Live and learn I guess. Life goes on. It seems like every individual sees things differently.
I came in from St. Louis to pick up a car at auction and needed a few items fixed on the vehicle. John, Justin and the rest of the team went above and beyond in helping me to get what I needed and on the road quickly back to St. Louis. They were kind, respectful and well in the price point of anyone else out there. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in the area or if you are coming in from out of town to pick up at the auction nearby. Thank you, Midas!
I had a great experience at Midas in Clifton Park. They took me in for an inspection with no appointment, gave a accurate estimate of the wait time, and had very nice facilities to wait in (very clean bathroom, recent & varied magazines, a big screen TV, comfortable chairs, free coffee). I had 2 things to be fixed to pass inspection & they explained them thoroughly as well as informing me of other issues that would need attention soon. They were very professional & friendly w/ out being pushy to purchase extra services. Great service, I will return again!
Jon the manager there is a great guy! I’ve gone there several times for car troubles and they have gone above and beyond to help me out. Super fast and really friendly! I’ve been to plenty of places where I feel like they’re trying to rip me off and this is definitely not like that.
The guys here (John, Tyler, & Justin) are such great guys! I had a very severe flat tire. They got me in right away, treated me with respect, went above and beyond for me and found a very large screw in one of my tires and another screw in another. They were able to save the tire and do a tire repair. Again, they were very respectful, did everything they could do to help me. I appreciate them so much! Thanks guys!!
Customer ReviewsOutstanding Customer Service!A few years ago, I needed some help replacing a headlight and was unsure how to replace it after I purchased it. Midas in Clifton Park, NY was right near where I purchased the bulb and I decided to stop by to see if I could receive a little help. Aaron, the manager, immediately pitched in to help me. He was was so friendly and didnt even charge me. I knew the next time that I needed service, I was going back. It is now 3 years later and Im even more satisfied with the customer service that I have received from Aaron, Tina and Ray! They always make me feel like a valued customer! I trust their opinions and workmanship! I would highly recommend this Midas location to anyone!- Colleen S.Clifton Park, NY
I have always had great service from Midas. Mostly, I use their services for oil changes but yesterdays appointment was for a state inspection. The people that work at Midas have always proven to be fast, efficient and courteous. I especially like the treatment I receive from Tina. Shes very thorough and professional but at the same time warm and friendly. I appreciate the service maintenance schedule for my particular car so I can plan for the future.
I have been bringing my vehicle to this location for quite some time. The staff at this Midas are always extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They maintain a professionalism that is most certainly noticed. They keep a calm and understanding demeanor with obnoxious and rude customers. The mechanics always fix each issue whenever I bring my car to them.
I keep coming back here because of the customer service. They can usually fit me in within a couple days if not same day. The manager is very friendly and he and the staff take the time to explain any issues with my car, but I never feel like I’m being talked down to. They always try to find the most cost effective solutions as well. Much appreciated!
Josh was very professional and helpful. I made a last minute appointment for an oil change during peak hours. They were able to get me in, he apologized for the wait(was maybe 30 minutes in total?) and gave me the oil change free of charge. This quality of service was unexpected.
Im not from this area and needed my vehicle looked at quickly. I was referred to Midas by my boyfriend, who highly recommended them. I met with the manager, Jon Jarvis, who explained everything that they found wrong with my vehicle and gave me options for the repairs needed. They were very quick & efficient. Ill be going to them for all of my car issues and maintenance from now on.
I have been going to Midas for years now and I cannot say that Ive had one bad experience. The people are all so very professional and helpful. Just recently my car needed service done and it was much more than I expected to be wrong, but they worked with me and broke everything down for me to make sure I understood where the costs were coming from. I would recommend anyone to use the Midas in Clifton Park. They are an amazing crew and do extremely good work.
Great customer service! Tracked down my requested tires and got back to me with quote and appt. time within an hour. The manager Jon was very helpful and even delivered my car back to me on his own time due to a schedule conflict i had! Wow! This stuff rarely happens in today’s world. Would definitely do business with in the future. Already have spread the good word to friends! Thanks guys.
The staff there was very honest and even went out of their way to find me a light bulb that the parts stores could not get the mechanic was nice enough to get me on the road with a spare one he had, Ive worked in this industry before and when you find people like this you have found a new home for your car and can trust them I appreciate these guys and would recommend them to anybody
I recently started going to the Midas in Clifton Park regularly and I havent had a negative experience yet. Every employee is very kind and informative, and they are transparent with everything they are doing to the vehicle and things they suggest you might want to do without being pushy at all. They take the time to walk you through their inspection or courtesy check and have you on your way quickly. Always a pleasant experience!
I came back to Midas today for an oil change. Justin greeted me politely over the phone this morning and set up an appointment for a later time. Justin and Jon happily greeted me when I walked through the front door. Shortly after sitting down Rich started doing my oil change which came with a free tire rotation. While doing the tire rotation he noticed I needed new brake pads so he politely recommended changing my brake pads and was happy to show me why. I had yet another amazing experience at this Midas. I will gladly come back to Midas and will continue to recommend them to others.
Midas at CP is quick, easy and efficient. They were able to find the smallest leak in my tire and repair it at no cost! Their customer service is the best with Jon, Justin and Tyler greeting me with positive energetic attitudes. Their waiting room is very enjoyable with free coffee, comfy chairs, magazines, and tv for entertainment. I would recommend this shop over others for affordable and reliable care.
Recently I experienced a complete replacement of my Dodge Rams rear differential. I brought my truck to Midas here in Clifton Park, NY. I could not be more satisfied with the final completion of this task! Competitively Priced, Completed in a timely manner & My truck is Rock Solid. Thanks to everyone @ Midas for a job well done. You Guys are the Best!!! Jim
Watch out for this Midas at Clifton Park. I have been using their service for my Honda Accord for the past 4-5 years. For every 2 year intervals since I started, I have gotten a brake pad and rotor replacement for both my front and rear wheels under the strong recommendation of Midas. I drive my Accord about 6000 mile a year and do not drive aggressively. Regardless of that fact, Ive always changed the rotor and pads due to their advice. Today I went and got a brake check right around the 2 year interval period. Midas once again strongly recommended me to change my brake pad and rotor with 2 of their mechanics saying that they were heavily worn out. I refused the service to get second opinions from two separate local mechanics. Both of them said that the brake rotor and pad were as good as brand new. Midas just assumed that I would trust them this time around to get their replacement service again to cheat me out of my money. I suspect that my past Midas brake rotor and pad replacements were the same in that they were in fine condition. I highly recommend for other Midas users to get second opinions from other mechanics to ensure that you are getting the quality service that you deserve.
These guys are the best! We were stuck with a flat on our way through town to Jersey and they squeezed us in on a super busy day. Customer service is off the hook... So kind and helpful. I would highly recommend them anytime to anyone. Thank guys for saving the day and turning our roadtrip misfortune into a win!
Ive been going to Midas in Clifton Park for many years and had come to rely on the manager, John, for being honest and always giving me a great deal. Until my most recent visit. To make a long story short, John told me my car needed a catalytic converter, center pipe and muffler. Estimated cost for the job $2300!!!! Needless to say, I brought my car to another shop for an estimate. I was stunned when they told me I DID NOT need anything except a muffler!!!! And where was the muffler? I asked the guys at Midas to remove it because it had detached from the pipe and it was causing a very annoying rattle. I was never told the muffler could be reattached. The mechanics at the 2nd shop told me it could be, and suggested I return to Midas to pick it up. Of course, when I called Midas, they said they no longer had it. It was at this point I decided to file a formal complaint with corporate Midas. Unfortunately Midas has failed to address my complaint or offer any compensation for the muffler. This has been a very disappointing experience and Midas failure to respond to numerous calls is infuriating. I did not want to write a negative review without giving Midas the opportunity to do the right thing but their blatant disregard for good customer service has left me no choice. I will never return to this shop and I recommend great caution to anyone who is thinking about having their car serviced here.And btw, the one star belongs to Justin who spoke to me several times about my concerns when John refused.
I was very pleased with the level of care & attention to detail. They went through my vehicle and told me the issues my vehicle was experiencing. Gave me a run down of the cost to fix the issues & did so in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend this location. Great customer service, very happy!
As a Customer Experience Manager myself I think it’s worth sharing the amazing service I received from my local Midas. I generally never get my car serviced at a “chain” for fear of getting ripped off (in my mind a expect this) so when my car was making a horrible grinding noise when I hit the break at 5:15pm with my daughter in the car I pulled into the closest place still open, really just expecting to be asked to make an appointment for some other day. What I got was what I consider the gold standard of service from Justin Wagner, John Jarvis & Billy Riordan. I name these guys here because they all deserve the recognition. Justin was friendly, knowledgeable and empathetic. John took charge and made sure I knew he and his team would do whatever it took to make sure my daughter and I were safe. Even though it was 15 minutes to close they took me in made sure they quickly diagnosed the issue and clearly communicated what the best course of action was (new breaks all the way around and new front roaters), not cheap but necessary. They went so far as to make sure I knew that their location was just cleaned and that my daughter and I were welcome to grab dinner and eat it there vs. the not so clean Chinese restaurant near by. They entertained my daughter, we’re kind, courteous, and fast. They keep an immaculate shop, bathroom included (cleaner than a lot of restaurants. Billy obviously stayed late to do the work on the spot and added a tire rotation when he could have hurried us out with the basics. They tested the work, didn’t like the sound of something, apologized for wanting an extra 15 minutes to take everything on my driver side front wheel assembly apart to double check the caliper wasn’t ceased up. Luckily it was good to go and so was I. They got me a $60 mail in rebate, asked me to come back after 50-100 miles so they could double check everything and let me know all the details of the lifetime warranty. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the amazing level of service I was afforded by this team, keep up the amazing work. I’ll be back for all my future oil changes now too!!
I stopped in Clifton Park Midas because my car was making a strange noise. I am happy I did! Service here was excellent!!! Todd was professional, courteous and attentive. Service was prompt as well! If youre looking to get your vehicle serviced, I would highly recommend this Midas. Thank you guys!
Midas is truly the only place I will take my vehicle for service. I have been doing business with them for almost 10 years now and they have always been honest and fair with me. I have been told by dealerships that I have this or that wrong with my car only to take it into Midas and been told, no, its not a necessary repair or they were trying to stick you for much more than you needed. Go and see Jon, he will do right by you.
Completely awful! Told them how advance auto already told me about my cars issue and I asked if they could fix it. The guy told me possibly once they diagnosis it themselves. Took my car in for two minutes and came out and told me exactly what I already knew and charged me close to 100 bucks to tell me to go to a dealership! When I called the guy gave me attitude and asked why I was calling? Never ever ever doing business here again. EVER. Do not go here very unprofessional! And 100 bucks to tell me what I already know? Crazy!
My experience was a pleasant one. Arrived at my appointment for an inspection and was greeted by staff. Wrote up my service, took my keys and brought my jeep right in. I had a seat and before I knew it the jeep had passed inspection and the sticker was on. When checking out everything was explained to me by Tina who goes above and beyond to make sure everything met my expectations.
I cannot thank the manager Aaron and her staff enough for helping me out the other day. I have an 06 Trailblazer, and it was due for its 2nd transmission service at 120k. Called on the phone, made an appointment and was getting my vehicle serviced within the same hour! The clearly explained to me what they were doing, what fluid was needed (I knew but wanted to verify with them), and how the service worked. SUV was in the first bay so I saw the work going on. Only took an hour instead of an hour and a half, and saved about $20 with coupon (so only $135 for a full transmission exchange service).They also knew what they were doing (their techs are ASE certified) and ever since my transmission has been shifting and functioning perfectly. I cannot thank the staff enough for giving my car the Midas touch, and I will certainly be going back.Thanks again for your quick and efficient service that you provided.James
I needed a quick oil change before a trip out of town. Midas fit me in immediately. Service was fast, thorough, and friendly. I was invited into the garage area so I could see an issue with one of my wheels (I had a bent rim from a pothole). I authorized the extra service which was done at a fair price and barely added any time to my visit. I was also invited back with in 50 miles for a free follow up to check the safety of my lug nuts. I will definitely be back for future oil changes as well as other service.
Todd L and his team took amazing care of my vehicle today! I was pleased beyond belief at the respect and honesty I received here at Midas in Halfmoon. Any other shop could have taken advantage of me. I plan on getting the high mileage oil changes here whenever needed. Now I know I can count on Midas! Excellent shop, even better staff. Any time I need work done, I am coming here.
Scheduled an appt for an oil change, arrived on time. Despite the fact that THEY chose the appt time and told me they had an opening then, when I arrived I was told it would be a half an hour wait. I figured, I expected to wait that long anyway and an oil change only takes about ten fifteen minutes, so okay I can live with that.I sat in that waiting room for at least an hour and a half before they ever even touched my car and it took over 2 hours from the time I arrived to be complete. (My appt was scheduled for 230 and I left at roughly 450.)They def also spilled oil on my engine as I could smell it burning off my whole drive home.Overall my biggest issue is how long it took to complete a simple oil change, especially with an appt. I didnt ask to come in at that time, I asked when would be good for them and that was when they told me to come. 2+ hours for an oil change is bananas.
Excellent service at Midas Clifton Park!! Ive been there a few times, and even though I probably shouldnt say this, I work at a car dealership and always find myself going back to this store because of the excellent customer service and prices. The manager, Todd LaViolette couldnt be more professional, and the young man that changes my oil, Bayle, knows what hes talking about and always gives me excellent advice on items and services that my car will be needing!!
Just had both front and rear brakes replaced on my 1999 Camry. Great customer service: fast courteous and straightforward - pleasure to deal with. They gave me a coupon for the pads to help with the total price. The price came to 20% less than the estimate I had from another shop in the same area.
October 22, 2016Today I stopped by the Midas shop in Halfmoon, NY.I requested to have an oil change and tire rotation, the oil change would require synthetic oil, and the personnel at the desk had no problem fitting me in for an oil change and tire rotation.I appreciate the accommodation that the personnel at the Mitre shop showed. I would definitely use their services again. I was taking care of quickly and courteously.Thank you,John Weiss
The service at this midas is amazing! They always go out of their way to help and their manager Aaron is the most honest straight shooter Ive met. I am very pleased with the way they bring me out to my car and show me exactly what is going on with my vehicle. I will definitely continue to use this Midas!!
The service is good and the people working here dont hide a single thing from you - theyll tell you what is needed, what isnt, etc. Cant get better. Plus theyre open on Saturdays which is great for Monday to Friday workers like me.However this place is definitely a little pricey compared to other mechanics in the area.. I got quoted $150 less on a job by Jays Auto nearby.. however Jay is not open on Saturdays.If you have little to no time during the week then these guys are a fine choice. But if you have time during the week, go to Jay. Hell save you some money and his work is top-notch.
I was provided excellent care at Midas during my most recent visit (headlight repair and NYS inspection). Prior to the headlight replacement, they called to advise me what the cost would be - then promptly called me when my vehicle was completed. I forget the name of the lady at the front desk but she is extremely polite and thorough. I would be comfortable returning to Midas for future service.
What brought me here was me needing my taillight fixed due to another place not fixing it properly . I called Midas up and they were able have me come right in . John Jarvis came out and fixed the issue in less than 5 minutes. This is definitely the place I recommend to go to for your vehicle repairs.
Not one to complain but not good customer service here. First my appointment was never saved from the counter guy then had to have my car checked over for warranty covered parts and they acted like they didnt want to help while the guys chewing his gum in my face. Recommend going elsewhere!!!
I always do my car work at Midas. They take me out to see the car once they assess the situation and show me exactly what is wrong. I like how they physically show me the problem and explain to me what needs to be done and why, rather then just tell me i need to pay blank amount to get blank fixed. I always have a wonderful experience with them, I will continue to use their services for future cars to come.
Great service every time we visit this location whether its for our regular maintenance or more complicated fixes. The team is very professional and transparent about what we need and how to fix it. We are glad we have a place to go to that we can rely on and trust with keeping our car working well and all of us safe!
I am more than pleased with the service that I received today. ( 2/19/16 ) The work was done quickly, courteously & economically. I was very impressed with Tina and the gentleman who performed the service. The next time any further work is needed, I will definitely have it done at Midas of Clifton Park!Bill Daubney
I came to this shop to fix the mistakes of another Midas. Originally I had a cracked radiator replaced at a Midas in SC. The shop in SC had terrible service and while I was driving to NY for military tranfer I found some more coolant leaking from a different spot (the reservoir was almost empty)I came to this shop to use the Midas warranty and they treated me like an actual customer who was giving them business, the mechanics came out and explained to me the leak was coming from the thermostat and what had to be done about it and it cost me nothing, there were no surprises when I got the bill unlike the one in SC. Im very happy with the way these guys do business.
Made appointment online for an oil change. They told me they could fit me it 12-2. I came in and was told that it would take them all day to get an oil change done on my truck. This is not the first time they have done stuff like this. They always make it seem like the info online is never accurate. Im not coming back this time. Ill find a new garage for basic maintenance.
Top notch! Even showed me what needed to be fixed and explained it to me! Amazing service!Update: Yeah, scammed me big time. Used unsafe parts then tried to CHARGE me for warranty work which cannot be charged for! District manager is a gem though and shut it down before we paid thankfully!
They tried to convince me that an alignment already done for my car while they did not do any alignment at all .when I asked him for copy of it .He said that his printer is out of ink and cannot print it. They did balance 4 new tires ,drove the car next day it was shacking like hell.Had to stop by Midas albany ,which they checked the alignment and re_do 4 tire balance .Will drive the car today and see .I will never use Midas cliftonpark again .
This establishment is great. New guy justin behind the desk is great with customers. He kept me updated on everything and the manager jon brought me out and showed me the brakes were getting low and the tire had a nail in it. They repaired it for free. Ill be back for the brakes real soon guys!!!!
Ive been to overpriced car shops before but i have never been denied the option of canceling the work that was being done on my car after the diagnostics but thats exactly what happened at this mavis. the manager treated me as though i wasnt his customer but rather as a defendant at a trial. i offered to pay for the diagnostics just so i could take the car home since i couldnt afford a $750 brake job but he wouldnt have it. VERY DISAPPOINTED
I went in to have a leak in my power steering fixed and to get the cars inspection completed. The power steering leak was quickly spotted and fixed. Midas also found some severe problems with the rotor, brakes, and calipers that were impacting my cars performance, and that the previous garage did not identify. Unfortunately, this repair had a hefty price but the staff was friendly and helped me get some coupons to bring the cost down..
I was completely impressed with their attention to detail. They made sure I was aware of the repairs being done as well as showed me the parts that were replaced, pointing out the wear that was of concern. I would highly recommend them for the service of your vehicle(s).
I made an appointment and they took several walk ins before me even with empty bays.I had a car shake at 55 mph and I asked them to figure it out.They aligned and balanced and I asked the guy test driving it to make sure he went to 55. And when he came back he said the shake was gone but on the paper work it said they tested it to 50mph. Needles to say 3hrs later... the shake is still there. Full charge, no discount even though they aknowleleged they let walk ins be serviced before me...
To preface this, my car is old and the trunk no longer opens. When my rear brake lights went out, these guys seriously went above and beyond by putting the seats down and fixing the lights from inside the trunk! They are always nice and prompt every time I stop by to get something fixed!
I will never go to the midas in clifton park again or any midas for that matter. John and his crew of mechanics must be the dumbest bunch of mechanics Ive had to deal with! So I go in for an inspection and they fail me for safety because they couldnt figure out how to change a license plate bulb, so they tell me they need to change the whole socket. The price would have been 85 dollars but they couldnt get it that day so I went home and and I took out the bulb and put a new one in and it worked fine. So i go back to finish my inspection 2 days later and john tells me i cant have tint on my back window and tells me he cant pass me until I take it off. So I started to take it off then I make some calls and look up the law and he was wrong and I showed him but he still wouldnt pass me, so I left with a ruined back window and had to pay to get my car inspected again elsewhere!
For the first time I made an appointment at 9am, rather than being a walk-in, thinking I would be out by 10am. Just needed an inspection and a couple tires. Apparently that takes 2.5-3 hours. Friendly staff doesnt make up for the inconvenience, especially on a weekday.
Had a bad tire blow out and called this place. They told me I could come and they would do the job. So I drove my truck there on the flat just to be told they cant do it because they dont have a tire machine large enough to do them. Their machine can only do 20 not 22. Basicly they didnt feel like doing the job because it was close to closing so they chose to screw me instead. Now its late and everyone is closing. Wow great customer service!!! Wouldnt recommend to anyone. 1/11/2018
I had been there for State Inspection. There were hardly two cars in the garage. One employee took my car, tested it and went somewhere for an hour. I was there waiting for an hour. Other staff members were loitering around and saying that other guy will come and back off my car.I just went there because they has 50% off, but with the wait time,it was not worth it.
Have gone to this Midas multiple times for a wide variety of car issues since Ive owned many old vehicles. Even if the repairs are expensive they always seem to work with you to make sure you get your car on the road without going into major debt. Very helpful! Thumbs up👍🏻
Takes 3hrs to get a oil change an state inspection. DONT GO HERE!!!! Only time you matter to them is when your spending money. The only reason they offer oil changes at low rates is to get you in the door to screw you over. The time it takes them to get to your car only depends on one factor. How much do you plan on spending the second you walk in. The more you need done the quicker they get you in cause they dont want your money to walk out the door. If all your getting is a oil change or inspection plan on being here for half a day
Jon is one of the Best Mechanics I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Totally professional, experienced and does a superior job!! He also has a great personality and keeps you at ease. I will recommend jon to all my family and friends and tell them about Your Mechanic
Worst experience ever...charged over $900 to fix my car and Midas made my car worst than when I brought it in. I dropped my car off in the AM and they kept it until closing. As soon as I tried to drive off I knew something was wrong. It was making sounds Ive never heard my car make. So I brought it back, and again, they kept my car all day open to close for the second day in a row. When I picked it up the second day everything was the same and nothing was fixed. I literally had to bring it to another shop to fix the damages Midas did. I will never go here again. $900, two whole days without my car, and nothing fixed just broke everything they worked on...good luck if you go here! Be prepared to waste lots of $$ and time!
They will try to take advantage of you if they can. District manager is sympathetic but never makes good on promises or returns your calls.Midas brake warranty ONLY covers cheap parts NOT high priced labor.Synopsis:Midas tells my wife she needs pads and rotors all around (over $700), that she shouldnt leave without having the work performed because the car was unsafe to drive. Turns out ALL pads and rotors were fine, what she had was stuck caliper pins.Long story:Wife brings car in with complaint that brakes feel spongy and an intermittent smell of burning coming from front passenger tire. After waiting close to 2 hours with a 5 year old (keep in mind she called ahead) she was told all of her pads and rotors needed to be replaced and that she shouldnt leave because the car was unsafe to drive. Labor and parts to cost over $700.Wife proceeds to take the car to the local family owned shop who replaced back rotors and pads (still under warranty) 12 months prior. pads and rotors are inspected and no issues are found with either.Car is then taken to 3rd party ASE certified master technician who promptly finds issue with BOTH front calipers pins and is able to service them for a fraction of the cost quoted by Midas.District manager is nice enough, says he will look into issues of misdiagnoses/strong-arming will update me in a few days but never does. Multiple calls to DM but none returned.
I came to my dads in at Route nine and John Jarvis help me and he was very great I had a flat tire leak by the closing time and he fixed it he got it fixed and I appreciate it so much the customer service is so great I’m so happy I have been coming to my dads from years thank you
Did an excellent job on fixing the engine overheat problem caused due to coolant leak and also did alignment on my front wheels that fixed the steering pull. i recommend oilchanges with midas too especially the high mileage oil for >75k miles cars for their competitive pricing.
Weve been going to Midas for many, many years - theyve always correctly diagnosed and taken good care of our many cars.They will try to upsell you some additional items, but they dont make it seem like the upsell is mandatory, and have no issues with you saying you dont want it.
Absolutely the worst experience every time I go there. Not only do they ALWAYS find ways to soak you for your time but your wallet is what they are really after. I also witnessed a women sitting in midas for 3+ hours for TIRE ROTATION. Unbelievable. I dont know why i put myself through this.
Had my winter tires shipped here via TireRack. The installation was poor and damaged the stems in 2 tires as well as the TPMS system. The first tire started slow leaking and they fortunately repaired for free. When this started happening on another tire, I decided to try Warren Tire up the road instead. They found the same problem on tire #2 and recommended replacing one of the damaged TPMS sensors. So I paid $90 to get it done right and fix the problems created by the Midas installation.The staff is generally friendly here but both visits were very long and I question the quality of the work.

2022-04-29This place was so helpful and amazing customer service. I came in late on a Friday with a flat tire and they patched it right up and put my new registration sticker on for me. They were super fast, very helpful, and worked with me. This is the first garage in the area where I felt like they cared and were honest. Thank you so much, totally recommend going to them if you need help with your vehicle!

2022-03-15Im making this post a little late. This is for. 3/10/22. But these guys for a second time saved me again with a last minute tire problem. I got home from work and got a flat. Turns out my car didnt have a tire iron and it took forever for me to get someone with one over so I could get the donut on. Long and short these guys were closing and initially told me if the tire was reparable they would do it for me. Tire wasnt reparable and they didnt have the tire in stock. However, the guy I spoke to told me where I could get a tire down the street and told me to go there and come back. When I got back they had the blown tire off and ready for the new one. They stayed open late to make sure I could get to work the following day. And it wasnt for the sale. He said take care of my guy for taking care of you and we are all set. I gave the guy a 20 for helping me out and that was that. These guys are great. I highly recommend!

2022-04-02Stopped here in the middle of a 7 hour drive after my low tire pressure light came on. Had a screw in the tire that you could hear the air rushing out. JOE! was able to squeeze me in an hour before closing even though they were busy. Really helpful, honest, and nice workers at this location. Highly recommend and will definitely remember their kindness.

2022-05-13This place is my favorite around. I know cars very well, and I know when I’m being BSd. These guys don’t BS, they know their stuff well, and the manager is a genuinely good dude. They’ve been on time or early, and the price has been better than most spots around, if not the best. Especially for tire mounting / balancing.Don’t look further, go here.

2022-01-23If you aren’t going to Midas you’re doing yourself a disservice. Jon was exceptionally helpful. He made me feel extremely at ease during my visit. My car wouldn’t have life if it wasn’t for him. 100% recommend this establishment for anyone who needs ANYTHING.

2022-05-12Jon is an absolute lifesaver. My Lexus truck trunk door would not lock and I was in a panic. Jon was able to fix it with ease within minutes so we would not be driving in an Unsafe manner. Professional, courteous and he knew exactly what to do. Highly recommend!

2022-01-24Ive been going to the one in Clifton Park, only because my Drs up that way. These guys are absolutely fantastic. I dont remember the one guys name, but the 2 times Ive been there recently, he takes the time to explain things and to physically show me. Speaking as a female, I never feel like Im being taken advantage of. Ive had a very positive experience here. Definitely would recommend.

2022-07-05Called the guys at Midas at 4 pm and asked if they could repair a flat tire. He told me to come down right away and he’d get me in. By 5 pm I was driving out of there with the tire repaired good as new. Honest staff and didn’t try selling me some expensive new tire that was not needed.

2022-04-14First time here and I will absolutely be coming back! Very helpful and fast! I came in as an emergency with a flat repair, but I will be returning for all the times I need to switch into my snow tires from now on.
