"Went in for an inspection of the exhaust system of my 11 year old Mazda3, fearing the worst and knowing that there was at least one hole and a lot of corrosion"
"Pathetic"
"The man working at the counter was very courteous and helpful, however whomever called me to tell me that my brake inspection was complete and that my car was unsafe for the road was very grumpy, as though I was arguing with him when I mentioned that I'd only be driving it 250m up the road to my house"
"So, I left my car last tuesday(having a starter issues and bunch of other problems) Chris told me they would start working on it Monday which is June 26"
"I made the appointment for my car safety inspection and oil change, he gave me 8am so I went and dropped of my car before 8am, I have been waiting for the call from them to pick up my car, until 2"
Went in for an inspection of the exhaust system of my 11 year old Mazda3, fearing the worst and knowing that there was at least one hole and a lot of corrosion. The team at Midas was able to repair the hole, and let me know the rest of the system was ok for now and appeared to be normal for the age of the car. This saved me a bundle of money on an extensive replacement of system components, something I didn't want to do for a vehicle I may only keep for another year or so. The service representative (Chris) was friendly, informative, and honest about the car, which is otherwise in great shape. Thank you Midas! February 2023: Just want to add that I've continued going back to this shop for routine maintenance, tire changeovers, new winter tires, and most recently suspension work. I've come to trust them, and Chris has always been terrific. They've been great every time. Thank you!!
Pathetic. I tried booking online and everytime I do that they send an email back saying they dont have the time slot available. Called their phone number after multiple online tries and the rudest person ever spoken with in my life says that they dont have time slots available until end of october. Later he tells me that they dont service BMW’s. Why the hell is your shop open ? If you dont have services to cars. Update your website and clearly mention the cars which you service and which ones you dont. Also update your scheduler and let people know which slots are open and which ones are not. No one has that much time to keep waiting for your time slots to open up. Also I dont know why he said that coz the last time I did my oil change was from Midas cambridge location for my BMW.
The man working at the counter was very courteous and helpful, however whomever called me to tell me that my brake inspection was complete and that my car was unsafe for the road was very grumpy, as though I was arguing with him when I mentioned that I'd only be driving it 250m up the road to my house. They quoted me for around $650 for a new rotor and brake pad and to ensure the caliper was functioning. I was able to get this done for literally half that price by another trusted mechanic. Also, when I picked my car up from the inspection it wreaked of cigarettes and I don't smoke, nor have ever let anyone smoke in my car so that was really not cool! 3 stars for convenience of booking and pickup and the kind man working the counter.
So, I left my car last tuesday(having a starter issues and bunch of other problems) Chris told me they would start working on it Monday which is June 26. I called end of the day to see what’s going on, Chris was off. But other person on the phone told me that he is trying to get the car going but not starting and he doesn’t work outside in the rain. (Car was parked in the big parking lot) Red Ford Fiesta 2013.Well if the car was starting every time why would I drop it off? Given the fact that it’s been sitting outside since a week now.
I made the appointment for my car safety inspection and oil change, he gave me 8am so I went and dropped of my car before 8am, I have been waiting for the call from them to pick up my car, until 2.30pm no heard from them, so I called and asked what's going on, he said he had to do other car for the parts, I made an appointment at 8am and I wanted to be done my car first, and he left my car and no touching?? So I just went and picked up my car, this Midas turned me down for 2nd time, I won't recommend at all
I have only ever had GREAT experiences here, which is incredibly impressive given it is an automotive repair centre! Before finding this Midas I had resigned to the idea that taking the car in was inevitably annoying and stressful but wow, what a difference great customer care makes! When I have to spend money on maintenance and repairs, I am absolutely spending it here. Chris and the team are so knowledgeable, efficient, honest and kind. Highly HIGHLY recommend!
I had my winter tires put on my vehicle. I drove home in a nasty winter snow storm and almost got in a severe car accident. My vehicle almost lost control. Why? The mechanics did not tighten all the lug nuts on the front driver side tire. I would be very careful using Midas. Good thing my wife or teenage son were not driving as they probably would have not known to pull over and check the tires. Head office was useless!!!!!! I will never use Midas again!!!!
We moved to the neighbourhood 5 years ago and this was our closest mechanic... we feel like we got really lucky. Chris is always courteous and professional and the service has been nothing but stellar every time. We've literally never taken our vehicle anywhere else in the last 5 years. If you're in Hamilton and you haven't used this place, please do at least once, you will not be disappointed! Great owner and business! Thanks Chris and crew!
I have had the pleasure of have my vehicle serviced by Chris and his team a few times now and felt I had to share how organised, informative and how quickly they have serviced my car time and time again! I will take my vehicles to them as long as I drive cars! They have saved me lots of money on good advice and really make me feel like I'm the most important person to walk through their door! Awesome Job Guys! Keep up the Great Work!
Chris and his staff saved the day by getting a flat tire on my rental car replaced in less than a few hours. This was on short notice and at one of the busiest times of the year. He even attempted to save me money by suggesting to repair the tire before putting a new one on. Commend him for great customer service, his honesty and thoughtfulness by trying to save me a buck. A+ service. Very satisfied.
Chris, the Manager is wonderful. He's very thorough and will review any concerns asap. I had my rear brakes changed due to rusting. Had no clue they were in such disrepair, as I was only in for a tire change. Wow, what a difference! My car would make a strange noise and vibration when braking on wet surfaces prior, figured it was normal. When fixed, it never occurred again! Hooray!
I have been looking for a garage since I recently moved from out of province. I took my car to Midas on York Blvd for an oil. I was totally impressed with the service. They pointed out and shoed me some other things which were wrong. They told me what I should take care of first and what can wait. I really valued their honesty. I guess I found my new garage. Thanks guy great work.
I took my 2000 F150 for original muffler replacement in July 2013 and that part needed to be replaced under warranty after six years and further inspection revealed other original exhaust parts needed to be replaced today as well after 19 years. The tech and the owner Chris explained what parts needed to be replaced and I am very pleased with the quality of work done. Thank you
Absolutely fantastic service. Chris is great. Remembers everyone’s names, and very honest. I never worry about someone trying to upsell me into something I don’t need and have even been suggested to go to the dealer for a repair once because they would be able to figure out the issue and repair it for less. An honest mechanic is worth their weight in gold. Highly recommend.
You are asked to make an appointment online. Then told that there are no appointments on Saturday it is a first come first serve basis. You are the first person there and told it will take 3 1/2 hour for an oil change. I just moved to Hamilton and will never go back to this shop that is only 30 meters from where I live. Worst experience with Midas ever, very disappointed!
Booked an appointment online. They claim to confirm your appointment within 30 minutes of booking (during business hours). After waiting hours to confirm the appointment decided to call. Man was rude on the phone. Claimed computer system is wrong and no appointments were available. Why is there an option to pick that time if it is not available? This place is a joke.
I’ve been here about three times, always to switch between my summer and winter tyres. I have always been impressed with courteous and friendly service provided by all I encounter at this location. Calling and making an appointment has always been a very straightforward process, which I appreciate. I will definitely keep coming back here!
Chris was great from the first phone call! We addressed the concern with my brakes, he was flexible with a time slot, and he provided excellent information. From drop off to the car being ready took all of 3 hours. He was straightforward and honest with what needed to be done. Will definitely be back when a problem comes up.
I recently went here for the first time following my boyfriend’s good experience. I have been ripped off a few times before by mechanics, and I’m happy to say that wasn’t the case here. Chris is friendly to deal with, prices are honest, and mechanics are thorough. A great visit and my new mechanic. Online booking a plus!
I've been going to Chris and his team at Midas for years now. Chris always presents the issues and information clearly, tells me what needs to be done, what can wait, and is very accommodating whether it's a tire change or an emergency stop in. I trust this team very much and would recommend them to anyone
I recently moved to Hamilton and was looking for a good automotive place. I took my car into Midas. Was totally impressed with the service and honesty. They never tried to up sell me. They showed me what should be done and what can wait. I guess I found a new place. Good work you got a new customer. Jake
Had a crack in the muffler system. They did a custom fix and it is now quiet. Had my winters put on and they replaced a couple of wheel nuts. They installed wipers too. They stand behind their work. I highly recommend this Midas. Chris the manager will take care of all your vehicle needs.
The customer service here is top notch, they called when they said they will and finished the job on time too. Very very price friendly, got the best deal on brand new all weather firestone tyres almost $200 cheaper than a quote I had before. I love this place and I recommend it 100$
This was my first time at this Midas location. My service advisor was Chris and I have to say he made my wait very enjoyable and was the best experience waiting for my car he made the time fly by fast. This location will definitely be my go to for service for my vehicle
I had a safety completed at this Midas location. The staff are knowledgable and honest about their work and capabilities. They keep the customer in mind and provide great service coupled with a pleasant experience. I do recommend and will return for future work.
I always take my car here to get my oil changed and they have not disappointed me yet. Great service, they let me leave my car overnight because of my work schedule, and they let me know if they find anything off when doing the check up. Great service overall!
Usually I dread going to have my car checked out. My first time coming to this Midas and I'm glad I chose it. Prompt professional service with a smile is what I got. Chris was super helpful and I will be coming back if I have issues with my car in the future.
Thank you Chris for always fitting us in, often on short notice. We appreciate the honest and reliable service we get from you. Chris does very well to explain any issues or problems in terms that I can understand. I highly recommend this shop. Eska Hawley.
Chris and the team are absolutely fabulous, every time I bring my little car in here it comes out running like new. As a person that isn't very handy with cars I was so happy to find somewhere that made the hassle of dealing annual car maintenance a breeze.
One of the best oil changes and service by far. I live close by. Dropped my car off. They called me once done. Noticed I had my baby with me and opened the door for me. Very grateful. They did an amazing job. Thsnks guys. I will be back in 5000km :)
Oil change, snow tire instalation, and exhaust system repair at end of Oct. 2019. I love having a repair team I can trust. From spring 2019, As always, the team working here is courteous and knowledgeable. I'm so happy to have them nearby.
Just came from picking up my son's vehicle today. He was advised from his previous mechanic (local shop on Aberdeen...) that the tie rod and control arm needed to be repaired/replaced due to wear and tear. I told my son that we would take
Just moved and was looking for a mechanic. I tried Midas on York Blvd as I lived very close, and I was totally impressed. I will be going here from now on. Very honest, did not tried to sell me anything. I really appreciate this.
Went to Midas after dealer inspection revealed a leaking clamp. Midas found a second leak and was kind enough to show it to me. Vehicle ready an hour ahead of promised time. Staff pleasant and very easy to deal with
Visited this location for the first time to get my exhaust repaired and I was very impressed with their professionalism and service. I will definitely be back with my other vehicles, highly recommend this location
Came here for my first oil change on my first car including a courtesy check. (Took care of some minor servicing for me). Would not add additional services without permission, which is comforting to here.
New to the area. Had my car in there for the first time. Excellent service, and no time did they pressure me to do anything. They explained everything to me from their checks. I definitely would be back.
Highly recommend!!! Ladies don’t be afraid to be taken for a ride the work is excellent the employees are easy to talk to….i spoke w Chris….i wouldn’t take my car anywhere else from now on!…Thanks guys
I just had an oil change here. Everything was perfect. Great customer service. Great job and they even filled up my tires and washer fluid. It was quick and painless and they did it all with a smile.
I think the mans name was Chris... He booked me in quickly, was very nice even, worked quickly and the price was as expected... Didn't try to up-sell me, which was nice. I'll definitely be back!
I'm extremely happy with the service I received here. Fast, reliable, no nonsense. Highly recommend this business if you are looking for an honest mechanic in Hamilton. Great business practices!
Basically took a broken car and made it run smoother than when I test drove it, which was smooth. Treated me and most importantly my mom well, can't recommend the guys at this shop enough.
I've been going to this location for three years for oil changes, season tire changes and repairs and it's always been a pleasure. Great customer service, fair prices and no complaints.
Great service. They have helped me out on numerous occasions and have always done a good fast job. They also give great advice to help you avoid future mishaps with your vehicle.
Such a great business to have around the corner. Chris and his team are always quick, transparent, and do great work. Been using them for years and highly recommend their work.
Friendly staff. You don't need to wait long time to get service...They accommodate you very well. Other locations have long wait time but York Blvd location saves your time.
The Midas on York Blvd has really great service and friendly staff. No nonsense, easy maintenance, and reasonable pricing. Will continue to go to Midas for all my car needs!
Chris and his team run a shop with integrity. Honest, competitive pricing, quick and efficient, my experiences have all been great. Happy to have a local shop I can trust!
What can I say...I arrived at 10 am ..4 new tires installed and a new ball joint installed. Out at 1115. Great customer service,friendly and knowledgeable . I'm impressed
Always a good experience here. Mechanics (Chris is who we usually speak to) are honest and friendly. They work quickly and can usually get us in on short notice.
Great customer service and quick turnaround on my first visit! They were honest about what did or didn't need replacing when I thought more needed to be done.
Thrilled time and time again, the staff at this location are always so kind. They go beyond my expectations and have accommodated my schedule. Great people.
We are an out of town contractor, Midas got us in and got our crew home for the weekend. Excellent work as well. Would recommend this place to anyone.
Highly recommend them! They took the time to explain everything to me, addressed all my concerns about my vehicle and fixed the problem. Thank you!
Fantastic place , very professional people , kris at the reception is knowledgeable & professional, plus he knows how to deal with customers .
Midas has been fantastic to deal with. Great service, timely, always go that extra mile, very trust worthy. Can't recommend them more highly.
Always good reliable service. Even better since Chris took over. Still using these guys for a few different cars for several years now.
Super friendly workers and priced reasonably! Typically I’m scared to go to a auto shop by myself being a young female with no
Don't know any other shop that requires you to drop off your vehicle for the day just to get an oil change done, what a joke!
Personally I see this place is really great, nice people and have quick services. Moreover, they honest about their advises.
They took me in at the appointment time. Very friendly and clean shop. I will bring all my auto needs here in the future .
The owner, Chris, is a human. You will get only the truth and that’s rare in this Industry. I highly recommend this Midas
Bad service very slow and mechanics are always on hour breaks if you want a quick service go to lube car and it's cheaper
Reasonable prices for their services/products, helpful with answering any questions, and have quite convenient hours
Friendly staff. Great environment. And very trustworthy with my cars. Will continue to go there for years to come.
Guy at the desk is nice but mechanic stole loonies from the tray in my car. I will never return. Unbelievable
Did go in for a tire repair. Great service, and very quick. I will definitely come back for other services.
Chris was amazing and I had one of the best explanations to how Break pads maintaining. Great experience
