HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED. Racism like I never experienced before . I had a 10:30 am appointment here & was here BEFORE my appointment time . They had a white woman come in with an 11:00 appointment and they took her car in before mine . Had me sitting for two hours while my vehicle sat in the parking lot . Listened to all the workers singing and playing around in the garage the entire two hours . Don’t waste your time or money here .
Car was towed here at 12pm. The car died while driving and they tell me it's not my battery. But another shop told me my battery was getting low a couple weeks ago. Still waiting on my car, and they haven't pulled any new ones into the shop in an hour. One of the shop guys came out to take trash out. But 20 minutes ago they were "so busy". Would not recommend bringing your car here.
I cannot say enough about this Midas location or Shawn. 2 of my brakes went out on Monday afternoon (12/23) and were fixed on Thursday (12/26). Shawn was so kind and helpful with everything from the moment I walked in on Monday. I can’t recommend them enough!!! Thank you Shawn for making this experience manageable. I sincerely appreciate your kindness throughout this ordeal.
Staff were kind, honest and helpful. They listened to my concerns and needs regarding the car and found a solution that worked for me. The management team made sure I had a ride to work when my car wouldn’t be available until the next day and made sure to follow up with me ASAP. Definitely will be visiting again!
My daughter and I have been to this particular shop for a variety of needs for our vehicles and have never been disappointed. Shawn and his crew go above and beyond to make sure all is correct before we leave. They also treat you with courtesy and respect. Keep up the good work guys! Respectfully, Robin G
Pulled in my vehicle at 3:30 in the afternoon and had a full tire rotation within 30 minutes. Great service would highly recommend.
I've been going to this service shop for a while now, doing most of my routine maintenance there, from oil change to flat tires etc. Never had an issue with them, the service is excellent, car is usually ready to pick up within the same business day unless it's something major. The guy at the front desk is awesome. Very helpful, always trying to accommodate my requests. Will definitely keep working with them as they've been taking good care of my BMW.
If I could give this business a zero, I would. I got an oil change in July. 2024 at Midas in Latham. I had an 8 am appointment and it took until 9:45 am for my car to be pulled in for the 15 minute service. When my car was finally pulled in, they give me the laundry list of issues: cabin filter, air filter, other fluids. Interestingly, those filters were just recently replaced. None of this stuff needed to be done. They finally complete the oil change around 10 AM. Now here is why I write this review: After I get home and the car sits in my garage with a brand new garage floor, I pull the car out and there is a pile of oil about 2 feet by 4 feet under my car- not a few drips- a pile! I check the oil level and it still registers there is oil so I drive to Midas and they put the car up and tell me that the oil cap was not secure. And they also tell me that it is not part of their oil change procedure to make sure the cap is ok and they say they do not touch the drip pan telling me my drip pan was loose. What????? Really????? They can tell me about all this bogus stuff like a cabin filter but don’t check the gasket on the oil cap? They did provide a new o ring, cleaned off all the oil that had spilled over everything, topped off the oil that came out. I asked them about my damaged garage floor and they told me a manager would call- NO call yet. But there is more! In January 2024, I took my car here for an oil change and NYS inspection. They failed my car for inspection on tires claiming that two tires were at 2 depth. I take my car back to Sam’s Club where I got the tires and they say. What? The tires are fine and 4-5 depth. So I take the car to a reputable mechanic who inspects the car and says the tires are fine, but look to replace end of year for winter. Now here’s where it gets weird at Midas: when I am there in July 2024 for the other oil change, I ask about the tires for safety reasons and they say- “They are good at 4 depth”. Go figure!! Well I have to amend my review of Midas overall. The company did reach out to me and Bobby the manager over the Midas’ in the area called me. He was professional, kind and helpful. He listened to the issues and took action to make it right by: 1) refunding the original oil change, reimbursing me for the necessary garage clean up 2) had me come in to any Midas to have the oil cap looked at and at that visit he decided to replace the entire cap with a new one and replace all the oil with any oil I wanted and replaced new filter 3) I received a coupon for a free synthetic oil change 4) Bobby personally did all this work at the 1722 Central Ave store 5) he showed me everything he was doing and cleaned up under my car from the oil leakage. I am very impressed with the integrity and professional approach my Midas. So I have to change my review for Midas and give Central Ave 5 stars, but am still cautious of the Latham Midas.
Great service pretty reliable work
Avoid if you value your time. Called ahead to ensure I could avoid waiting and was told to arrive at a specific time. Left work to have car looked at at agreed upon time and was told I would have to wait. Waited for an hour then had to leave.
Made an appointment for an oil change and a tire rotation done quickly very happy
The people are very friendly and are the best
Fast professional service
Never was told that a labor charge of $33.05 will be charged with the oil change ? Coupon stated $72.00 plus tax ! WHAT !?????
Was stranded in Albany with a flat tire and pulled in to the shop 45 minutes before closing. They were to repair a 2 inch gash and get me back on the road. Thanks so much!!
Shawn was really helpful .id recommend Midas and dealing with Shawn 10/10 !! Thank you so much !
Always come back here whether for oil changes, inspections, or having most of my cars front end rebuilt. Shawn and his team alway takes care of my car in the best way possible.
Very quick to begin work! Fingers crossed on the quality, will update if it isn t good
5 stars for shawn
Being completely honest this has been my go too shop for the past 6 years The management here may get some bad rep but the mechanics are truly good people Ive never been riped off never been blindsided never been lied or scammed I trust these guys with any car I bring its always done in a timely fashion and its done right I truly appreciate the group of guys who work here when I was driving uber they always treated my car well replaced my transmission never had an issue next time I stop by I gota bring them some Little Ceasars I appreciate yall frfr saved my butt many times awesome guys 10/10 I highly recommend
Sean and the team at Midas are always professional, honest and go above and beyond to make sure my vehicle is safe. I have been bringing my vehicle to Midas for years and will continue to do so.
The guys at this shop were amazing and really helped me out of a bind. I was just passing through town and blew the fuel rail. This was the first place that I called and I got right in. They got me in right away and had the problem diagnosed within an hour. They gave me the estimate, ordered the parts and had me back on the road in the same day. Everyone that I worked with was professional and helpful. I highly recommend this shop for any service work.
I spent a lot of time and money in this garage and I ve given them a lot of repeat business. But lately it seems the service has gone downhill. There s nosay do ratio. I ve made appointments, left my car there the night before, and specified when I needed to have the car back only to find out they totally disregarded it. This is happened more than once. I m not gonna complain. I m just gonna take my business elsewhere.
Ive been going to Midas for 39 years and they still are as good as they ever were and I will keep going back I thank Sean, manager at Midas Randy
Sean and his team are LIFESAVERS. I was mid road trip from South Carolina to Cape Cod and my check oil light came on after I JUST got it changed. I was panicked and Sean immediately took a look and diagnosed the problem and had me in and out within half hour. It is so bleeping amazing to see someone care and treat their customers with such niceness and consideration. If I lived in NY they would be my go to!!! CANT THANK YOU GUYS ENOUGH!!
Every time I bring my car in for service, I am treated fairly and respectfully. The crew is super helpful in explaining what my car needs and what my options are. The communication level is beyond compare!!!
Ed went above and beyond to support my needs. I cave in for a regular oil change, and tune up. But he was able to see my tires needed to be changed due to I needed an inspection and have me an awesome deal on an alignment. Since I want expecting to to spend more than I plane he intuitive me to the MIDAS CREDIT CARD. This guy. Saved me a ton 6 months interest free and all of it in under an hour- alignment, tires changes(in stock) , inspection and tune up!! Whaaat. . Great job Ed and the team for hooking me up with my needs being met and deals!!!! I will alays come back for the quality of care but the ppl rock too! You too, Shawn ,lol.
I love this Midas location! Very friendly , efficient and they dont give you the run around. I highly recommend. I had my daughter with me and they even gave her a slice of pizza. Big Thanks to Sean & they guys
Just got my inspection done at the Latham location. Shawn and Ed were great since I had been waiting for a week because the DMV system was down. Thanks you so much guys!!!
Shawn saved me from making an expensive mistake. I appreciate him doing what was right for me as opposed to what would make them more money.
Yes I want to talk to you about Midas of the service is outstanding they help me every time I come they and Im so grateful please let the staff know what a great job they do and get them a treat thank you Sean and Ed
A vehicle service store that repairs and changes spare parts and tires, with private parking and a great location A sophisticated young man at the reception
This is the only place Ill take my car. I have been going to Latham Midas for years and have always been satisfied. The staff at Midas are always friendly and welcoming, they answer all my questions, and I always leave knowing theyve done a good job. Youre in good hands at Midas Latham!
Sean was super helpful! Ordered me a new tire and installed it in less than 24 hours, on the hottest day of the year. Thank you Sean and Crew. Also Midas how about some air conditioning for your dedicated team? They deserve it!! Thank you - Mandi :)
Great service- informative and explained everything.
Great service, great price, inspection done
Great shop
Shawn was very helpful
Shawn and Eddie are the best workers, they keep me coming back
Shaun and Eddie are great people they work on our vehicle and we have always had a good experience with Midas
Friendly knowledgeable service, quick and efficient in and out, will use again
Management s treatment of mechanic was upsetting!! I brought my car to Midas at 1008 Troy Schenectady Rd. Shawn called with the needed repairs at noon & said it would be done by 4:30. $4900 in repairs in 4 1/2 hours?? I called at 5pm and was told , It will be done by the time you get here. That was a flat out lie. I sat there for an hour and 45 minutes -(45 minutes of which was after the shop closed ) The whole time the two guys who made all the promises sat around while the mechanic was trying to fulfill management s untruthful claims about the completion timeframe. Neither guy who made the promises did anything but blame the mechanic and and speak unprofessionally about him. REALLY ??? After 90 minutes I asked why they lied to me and was told we dont want your car in the lot overnight. (Well they left it in the lot all day Thursday and Thursday night before it was ever even looked at on Friday.) If mgmt will admittedly be untruthful and lay the fault on the ONE guy actually working. SHAME ON YOU!!! I didn t realize I was paying $4900 to be lied to. Thanks to the skilled and hard working MECHANIC - my vehicle is just like new The way mgmt treats staff speaks volumes about character.
They make my care worse
I had a great experience with Ed and Shawn. Very knowledgeable and helpful
All these guys do is sell you on everything. Sell sell sell. If you are in need of regular maintenance go any place else.
They did a awesome job. Explained everything to me. I recommend Midas to everyone I know. Thank you
Shawn Haskell was super nice and he explained everything I got done on my car.
Got me in quickly and got my inspection done!
This Shop is GrEaT,,Friendly, Price,Service, knowledge,staff and Big Rich a Remarkable Manager!
I had an scheduled appointment for a Saturday morning only to arrive and my appointment not be logged even thought I received an confirmation email. After showing Shawn my confirmation he went the extra mile to get me in next. He was also kind enough to let me know my brake fluid was low and how to bring it to a safe level. Thanks Shawn!!
Bought Cooper all seasons plus an alignment for my Chevy Equinox. Have been going here for years. Shawn and Dominic are awesome! Today I had to have brakes, front and back, rotors and an alignment. Shawn worked with me on price and discussed reasons for warning lights that kept coming on. Very happy with the service.
Honest
They took great care of me when I was worried about my transmission. Even though I did not want to repair it at the time they were very kind and assured me that three would be there when I was ready. Great people and great service and I will return there again.
I come here to get my oil change in my 2020 Toyota Corolla. They re extremely thorough and send you an in depth checklist of their inspection of you far complete with pictures. I really appreciate it because when they make recommendations it s evidence that I m not being scammed. Shawn was great at describing issues beyond my oil change and I was able to get in an out. Thanks Shawn and Team!
Shawn and Dominic are the real deal. They took care of my automobile issues and were friendly and easily explained the issues to me! So thankful! Great service!
Shawn and Dominic are amazing!! Our car overheated on the highway late on Friday and they were so helpful and kind. They are quick and efficient and explained everything thoroughly. Highly recommend!
Shawn and Dominic were so helpful!! This is by far the greatest experience I have ever had at a repair shop. I came in at 5 o clock before Memorial Day weekend and they were able to get my car in within minutes and diagnose the issue. They explained clearly to me the problem and future potential issues, and assured me the whole way. 100000/10 would come back again with any car issues!!!
Had such a great experience with Shawn and Dominic at Midas! They truly were the dream team with figuring out what was going on with my car. Thanks!
Got my old car checked out by Shawn and Dominic. It was late on a Friday night and they were so polite! Would recommend to anyone in a pinch.
Shawn and Dominic were so great! Even over the holiday weekend, they were willing to take the car in and fix it as quickly as possible.
Classic example of broad daylight robbery. Went here to fix my car AC problem and clearly told them that I there is a leak and compressor is bad. They temporarily recharged the gas and hide the details that my compressor is gone and said its great now! After 3 days, the gas leaked completely and I get dry hot air from AC vents. Best snake oil salesman!
I came here for four new tires, New York State inspection, and a full-service oil change. Definitely was done in a reasonable time in the car was as clean, coming out as it went in, which is not common nowadays. Normally fingerprints on the hood on the door steering wheel door panel drives me crazy not here. Definitely recommend these people at this location only at the moment. Thank you for a great service and priced accordingly.
Sean at the front desk he was the guy that took care of me a perfect gentleman courteous very helpful completely helpful and he calmed my nerves and he actually helped me figure out a way where I can be able to get my car fixed so this is definitely the place to be I recommend it highly to any and everyone thats are in need to have their car fixed especially their brakes.
Very good service here! The people here were very professional and supportive; they worked with me and my situation and was able to get the best results. Worked with Sean and he was very helpful with giving advice (thanks Sean!) Definitely will be coming here in the future; really great service!
I brought my car to the Latham Midas for inspection. I knew dropping it off that I needed at least 2 new tires. Shawn was great and let me know the only thing my car needed was 2 front tires, alignment and he suggested I change my filters. My car was done quickly. I ve used this shop before and they ve never tried selling me something I didn t need. Thank you, Shawn and others at Latham Midas!
They claim to rotate tires, top off fluids, check brakes etc. They do none of it. I wrote on my tire it was not rotated. They did not top off any fluids. And all they did was take one hour to change my oil. Will not return.
The manager Keven told me to f off when I asked them to balance my tires. Other staff gave me the finger.
Impeccable service and terrific, honest employees. Shaun and Sami (mechanic) were really genuine in resolving my mechanical issues with my car.
Really honest and fair people. Got my breaks done in a matter of hours.
Went there because I heard a noise while driving and braking. Upon Midas s review, they came back with a quote for thousands in parts replacements including brake pads, rotors, calipers, etc. I declined service and went elsewhere for another option. The entire cause of the noise was a brake dust shield! An insignificant part!! Rotors were fine and brake pads were fine and calipers were not sticking. Total fraud here.This place should be shut down! Scammers.
Gaood service, prices? Always good
Very helpful, went above and beyond to walk me through the loan process when I was incredibly stressed. Hard-working staff all through.
Great experience. Fast and professional. Very accommodating and friendly. Will return!
Exceptionally helpful, accommodating and professional. I had a tire patched and the service was efficient and outstanding. I subsequently delivered donuts for the crew and management to show my appreciation for going above and beyond typical auto repair experiences.
Had a appointment for an oil change. Had to wait for four hours. It shouldn t take more than 15 minutes for an oil change
Every time I come here Sean Makes Sure I m Taken Care Of. My Suv Is Up N Moving To The Best Of Her Ability With Them Taking Care Of Her All The Times. Thanks Again.
Great service and all who work here have exceptional customer service
Every time I go here I m highly satisfied had to go a few times this week every time they get me in and out. Sean is amazing.
I went to Midas for the first time. I needed tires and brakes. Shawn was easy to work with and found ways to save me money. Matt s work on my Range Rover was excellent. Great experience.
Guys were great. Got my truck fixed. Also I love the extra details report online. That was epic.
Always a great experience when I come into their shop.
Great service!
Ive been going to this location for a little over 2 years now. Prices are standard to alot of other shops Ive searched. The customer service Ive received for all of the fellas there has been good. I doing keep coming back because of Shawn and José. Theyve been great about getting the work on my truck done fast but not rushed, so I trust the work done.
Bf brought my jeep in for a tire swap to winter tires. During the process of swapping my tires, they did a complimentary inspection where they LOST SCREWS to my air box. To fix their mistake, they FORCED RANDOM SCREWS INTO THE HOLES. The tech didnt bother to say anything about screwing anything up and when asked about the screws that didnt belong there, said theyre screws as if every screw is the same. Maybe next time instead of doing PERMANENT DAMAGE to someones vehicle, you dont touch things youre not working on. Those holes are now permanently ruined because of this. And to make things worse, nothing was done to rectify this problem. Just pay and get out. If you value your vehicle AT ALL you wont ever bring it to these people. I will never be back and I will spread the word through the community of what happened today.
Unbelievably honest and fast service these guys will do anything they can to keep you safe and your car in order! Thank you Midas in Latham!
Car blew a tire right before closing. Shawn was very understanding and stayed late to change the tire.
Shawn stayed open late and changed our flat after hours when my sons tire went flat leaving the airport just before 6. Absolutely great service when he didnt have to. Highly recommend.
Dominic Shawn was awesome and I life saver. The whole team was very nice and helpful
Highly recommend Midas Troy-Schenectady Road Latham. Not from area had lights come on dash while traveling and they were able to get my car in, accessed and repaired less than 2 hours. Over and beyond great customer service. Very knowledgeable staff that explained clearly and gave updates of progress. Completely recommend, cant thank them enough.
had some warranty service done at the Latham, NY store this week. Everyone there was helpful, professional and completed the work to my complete satisfaction. Highly recommend!
Went for an alignment & for the outer tie rod to be replaced. Great people , great price.
I was having a major problem with my car. Shawn was so nice over the phone and answered all my questions. And was also just as nice when I went to go get my car fixed. Probably one of the best experiences Ive had getting my car fixed!
Visited with our new fleet vehicle for work. The staff was nice however, don t not ask them to put on the registration sticker they really jacket that up. For this being a brand new vehicle, it looks very messy, that s unfortunate.
Called Sean at Midas in Latham, NY with an emergency. The brakes weren t stopping well, and I had to leave for Syracuse by noon. He asked me to bring the car in immediately. I was there within 15 minutes, and he had the car in the garage within 15 minutes of my arrival and my car fixed within a few hours. The customer service at this location is fantastic. I will definitely come back to Midas Latham, NY, when I need automotive care.
I love this place. Very pleased with service. Shawn took great care care of me.
Loved it when the other Sean worked there
Took my car here for an alignment and then one week later my car came out of alignment. When I took it back they said they needed to balance the tires (WHICH THEY CHARGED ME FOR WHEN IT SHOULDVE BEEN DONE WITH THE ALIGNMENT). Okay, fine, I let them balance the tires. Then once again my car fell out of alignment. Took my car to a different mechanic who said it didn t look like anyone had done an alignment on my car. Called Midas and they told me to bring it in again and guess what? Not even a week later after the 2nd alignment my car was pulling left again. STAY AWAY FROM THIS LOCATION. A waste of money and countless hours of waiting for my car.
I recently had an issue with the tires on my truck . I called Shawn at Latham Midas and was very pleased with how my concerns were handled and the resolution of my problem. I have been a customer here for many years and will continue to be so given their excellent, pleasant and efficient service. I would definitely recommend this Latham Midas shop for your automotive needs.
Dont trust this place!!!!! You could do a better job on your own watching YouTube and a screwdriver!!!!
They were very very thorough and even sent me pictures of the items they recommended to be updated and fixed.
Was in and out for a tire change. Great service.
Always have been fair and honest, I am a repeat customer at this point.
Very nice and personable. The team was very helpful with any questions/concerns that I had. Thank you!!
Had an amazing experience. The tech brought my car back for the inspection. Explained everything to me. Was the quickest Ive ever been in a shop. Would definitely recommend going here for all your needs
They wasted so much of my day I dont even have time to leave a detailed review.
I needed brakes, rotors & tires. Shawn was amazing! He was attentive, knowledgeable, polite & personable. As a female I loath coming to businesses that service vehicles. I always feel like they are trying to take advantage. Shawn was patient & fully explained everything & most importantly was not pushy when I said I did not want to address some items that the tech noticed. Midas on Troy Schednectady Rd has a new customer for life. Thank you so much for your services Shawn.
Nightmare with Midas Latham; manager Sean treats customer like trash. Paid $1086.07 for a new steering pump but it still makes whining noise after 3 months and 5 trips. After last trip the manager said he will install another new pump after part comes. But never called me again. I had to contact Midas Consumer Relations. Midas sent me to another Midas store.
Very efficient
The guys were very sweet and kept me updated on the progress
I only do my business here ! They actually know what they re doing , I ve been coming to Midas for years for me it s not just a place of business it s like another family /friends! They work hard and provide excellent service !
My first visit was very professional....and trustworthy
Went above beyond took time 2 explain everything very satisfied
Overall good experience, just a few minor misses(no future oil change sticker and tire fill cap missing). Otherwise, good experience still felt better at this location in particular.
Very helpful
Arranged for an immediate opening to perform wheel alighment.
I came in off the street and they were able to change my oil within an hour. The man helping me was kind enough to let me use his charger so i could pull up the coupon on my phone as it had died. They Also took me out to the car to show some concerns about the car. Very appreicated
Oh my God. The team and Shawn were an absolute lifesaver for me. I was just getting a regular degular oil change and they found a serious issue with my car in an hour. It was expensive, so they didnt charge me for an oil change or wheel alignment! They were so understanding, Ill never forget the kindness they showed me. They all deserve raises!! Thank you so much!! Ill be coming back to this Midas for as long as I live in the area! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!
quick wait and friendly staff ! :)
The team was awesome and very helpful. I showed up unannounced and my car needed more work than anticipated. The team got me in quickly and took care of everything same day. I couldn t be happier. Thank you
Sean & tech team were great, got me in and out in no time, greatly appreciated
Crooks! Lied re car failing inspection to sell me lots of expenses services. Went to dealership, and nothing wrong w car. Dont come here Services General repairs & maintenance
Went there to get an oil change location very fast very thorough with their computer technology and I like the virtual courtesy check Shawn is the best and I trust all the guys down very honest and straightforward I would recommend everybody okay
Nys insp Excellent cust Service
I book appointment online and they called me and canceled my appointment twice
Shawn and staff did an excellent job. Very forthright and accommodating!
i am here getting my oil/tires done and wanted to give a shoutout to Shawn for being good at his job. i had called a few days ago to schedule my service and wanted to use my own oil; and when i arrived today he already knew exactly who i was and what i wanted done. he then advised me on something i should do with my truck, which i hadnt previously thought of, but which proved true when i googled it after. he also has excellent general customer service skills. i am a proud professional myself and like to acknowledge ppl or companies who are good at their jobs. 5*. -AM
Very good customer service was in and out David was very Professional and gave me the confidence that I needed knowing our vehicle would be in good hands. Would use their services over and over again.
Primest service
Thank you for helping me out on my part for my truck.
Nice people with excellent services
Before I went on vacation, my mechanic in PA replaced the shoes in the rear brakes. 45 minutes west of Albany on 88, in a thunderstorm, in a construction section, my brakes broke--the piston and shoes cut loose because they forgot to tighten the bolts. I limped into Albany with minimal brakes and went to Midas the next morning. The manager Shawn was incredible. Although it was a very busy day for them, he worked us in. He explained the work that he thought was needed and avoided unnecessary work and they got me back to my vacation quickly. I appreciate their quality work and highly recommend them.
We recently had to bring my daughters first car in for service, inspection and exhaust repair. Bob and the entire staff treated her with the utmost respect and professionalism. They worked to save her money and completed the job quickly and well. (Thanks again!) It s nice to know such businesses are still around with people you can count on. We ll be back!
Professional manager and reliable garage
Truck repair was finished when promised at the quoted price.
The guys were patient and very courteous
The managers here are amazing!! I called around noon, they took my car in at 2 and it was done in two hours! Such good quality people, great service and great price!
Went to Midas on Friday 10/1/2021 to get oil change and my break fluid flushed.. Now my breaks do not work at all smh.. I called and they told me to call back Monday and bring the car in and how am I suppose to do that if I don t have any breaks
Had an appointment to swap 4 tires. 11am show up 11:40am car still not pulled in. Told its next. I leave thinking Ill come back 4 hours later and it will be done. I get there 3pm and get told the alignment machine was broke. No one called said anything. It takes maybe 1.5hours if your slow with the machines available and thats too long. So they swapped 4 tires and its going to take 30mins to align the tires because the machine was broke? They never swapped the tires or just hadnt started yet. Get served customer service answers. Try to give me a $30 coupon for an oil change. Do not accept. Will not be back again. Whole experience feels off. For $50 and some elbow grease I could have done myself in my driveway. Then drove to the monroe .25mi down the road to align.
I just had a repair of my exhaust system and replaced front and rear brakes. I was very pleased with the job. I would like to give special thanks to Sean, a very knowledgeable, helpful, and exceptional customer service representative. Sean is a credit to the Midas organization and I would recommend Midas as a result.
I highly recommend avoiding this shop. I found my car with a flat tire while I was at work and noticed a large nail sticking out of my treads... so I brought it to Midas out of convenience (down the road). I asked them to fix the tire and perform an oil change. I later picked up the car and drove home. Next day I go to my car and the same tire is flat again. Checked it out and saw the same nail still sticking out of my tire! They just put air in it and sent me on my way. This level of neglect scares me and I wont be returning.
Had an appointment scheduled fit for an inspection, waited an hour and no one came to check me in. For a simple inspection. Who knows how long a full inspection would take.
The team was up front with everything and that is appreciated. Expressed concern for safety and showed me why. Will return when needed.
Sean was very helpful with the tire change process
Very expensive
I just want to say Shawn and all the guys at this location are beyond amazing.i came in with a bad experience at another location and was lied to about what was wrong with my car and walked out today very happy to know it was not what I was told in the 1st place..they changed my oil and everything was fine and even compensated my service today..thanks again guys and I will be making that call 1st Monday morning..you guys all rock!!!!
Ben was extremely helpful and reliable with assisting me upon my visit 4/28/2020. He was very professional and friendly.He makes a customer stress a little less during pandemic. Ill be sure to return thanks to Ben.
Friendly service
Fast service They did not try to push other services that I was not in there for. I was at Midas on Rt. 7 Troy, NY
Good folk, free wifi. Sometimes a little pricier but with the service and reliability of the work being done Id say its worth it. Been coming here for about 3 years on a regular basis. Ben, Sean, and the rest of the staff are great.
Shawn the manager was so very accommodating. The work was done on time. The place is clean. I have been coming here for several years now and I appreciate the friendly staff and the goid job they do. Previuos experiences at other Midas stores have been much less satisfactory.
Really good customer service. The employees definitely know what theyre doing, and theyre always punctual and friendly. Free Wi-Fi and a convenient location helps as well. Definitely a local go-to for any car maintenance needs.
Excellent!
While my bill was more than I expected to put out in cash, Midas wants to be sure we are safe in our vehicles
Amazing service on snow tires be back this summer
Great customer service! Ben and team will go above and beyond. Thanks!
Friendly, no pressure environment...had a bad experience at another location and will return here for sure even though not as convenient.
Great team that goes above and beyond to provide excellent service!!!
Good place to get your fix but expensive
shawn from the midas in latham helped fix the problems of a different midas, he made sure everything was fixed and ready for me and made sure i walked out happy
Shawn and the guys are great! Fast awesome service.
THE WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN I CAME FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY BROKE THE OIL TRAY AND THEY ARE ASKING ME TO PAY FOR IT . NOT A GOOD PLACE FOR OIL CHANGE
Good for your car needs
I wouldnt recommend this site for anyone else . Weve been customs for this site for many years. Until today, my husband went to do the annual inspection for one of our cars. This car just had a full service of oil change at Midas Latham last week, including oil change, engine filter and many more services that they claimed had been done. However, our annual inspection report showed a different story.The engine filter was not changed at all. We have been charged for many services that we have never gotten and we dont know for how long. So, it is not a trustworthy place to go when you want to get your car taken care of, and we will never go there again from now on.
Best customer service. Shawn helped so so much and it was excellent
Great place to shop
Sean was a gentleman and very Professional and personable. I came in with a slow leak in 2 tires, he quickly got me in, found the problem and got it taken care of and explained the issues. Im very happy with my visit.
Took good care of me, didnt overcharge and gave me clear breakdown of repairs. Good guys
Very nice and good service
Thank you for all your hard work and help
I have unwavering loyalty to this Midas location. Their unmatched professionalism, customer service and attention to detail are only a few of the reason why I keep coming back to this location. Their associate Shawn is committed to complete customer care and creates a sense of personal and professional relationships with his customers. I ll never take my truck anywhere else for my reoccurring maintenace and wish I would have found them years ago.
Excellent service from a very professional (and funny) group of employees. I made a last minute appointment and they had me back on the road in no time.
Great service. Recommed!
Great service. Fast, friendly and thorough
I joked around with the mechanic telling him I was going to give him 1 star on Google, for him being funny and not professional. Ive taken my car here twice and they always do a fantastic job of explaing and giving you advice . Il keep coming here for the professionalism. Positive
My 2007 car has never drove so well! Shawn and the whole Midas team were incredible. They took their time to explain to me exactly what needed to be done. Even though I needed a lot of work, they turned it around same day. I will certainly be going back.
Sean is cool, plus my name is LaShawn so thats also a bonus. Great store! I changed from Schenectady to this location.
Great people running it
If you re a woman and you want to feel ripped off and belittled then look no further. You might not want new tired when you arrive, after a simply oil change at Midas you ll NEED new tires. Why you might ask? That s a great question to ask your friendly neighborhood pushy salesman at Midas.
I don t typically write customer feedback on service provided. For one most of the service I have received in the past was not very customer focused...due to the repair shops lackluster service or treating me like an ATM than a valued customer. But I felt compelled to write this feedback thanking the manager and the folks at this local Midas for their outstanding customer service and help in performing a pre-purchase inspection of a certified pre-own vehicle. I am not a New York State resident, but I saw a car for sale online in the Albany area. The car was negotiated over the phone sight unseen and 90% of the purchase transaction was handled over the phone and via email. This was my first time buying any vehicle out of state sight unseen and I was expecting the worse. I needed to get an independent inspection of the vehicle since I was an out-of-state. I also needed to have the inspection completed as close to the dealership as possible as not to have any issues with the dealership delivering the vehicle for the inspection. I checked out this local Midas customer satisfaction rating and was at first very skeptical of their high ratings. I called and spoke with Jarrett the manager and asked if he could perform the independent inspection. They really took care of me and this no-notice/time sensitive request. He retuned all my calls and answered all my inquiries throughout the process. Bottom line they not only met but exceeded my expectations. Jarrett/employees at this local Midas, I want to thank you all for performing a very thorough and detailed inspection. Your efforts made this long distance transaction stress free but the long travel back home. As a customer, I have received a very valuable lesson on the right way for a repair facility to treat a customer/client. It s clear, you and your personnel are true professionals and a very valuable asset to that organization. Your customer service was simply outstanding...I wish your shop and staff was located in my state so I make you my choice for car repair. You have lived up to every bit of that high customer service satisfaction rating. And I look forward to adding my own. Thanks again for taking care of this retired military veteran.
Great customer service !
Brought my truck in to have a brake line fixed and some new brake pads. And my truck came out sounding worse. The right rest driver side grinds when coming to a complete stop. Brought it back 3 times for them to take tires off leave it sitting there all day to yell me they dont know. It deff didnt sound like that before hand . Also previous visit my fiance was driving with our 1 year old son they left Midas from getting an oil change and the truck started over heating she panicked pulled over bcuz of the baby and called me . When I got to the truck I come to realize after looking that they forgot yo out the radiator cap back on. So I had antifreeze everywhere under my hood. Still havent fixed my brakes issue either. So gonna go ahead and contact DMV. 600$ LATER MIND YOU
Avoid this place. Over priced and slow. If you go, get an itemized bill. They will tell you a bunch of nonsense and then over charge you. No wonder the country is a mess with an outfit like this. Took almost 3 hours that if i had a lift i could have done in 1 hour. Horrible experience!!!!
They did what corporate garages tend to do: try and get some poor soul to pay for unnecessary and costly repairs. I went in for a routine car inspection and, having had good luck with them in the past with my first car, decided to try them again. Admittedly, my current car is 22 years old; I didnt doubt that she needed a little TLC somewhere. As I dropped off the car, the woman at the desk said Well give you a call if it needs any repairs or if it passes. That was when I should have taken my keys back and left, but I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt. After all, maybe it was a slip of the tongue? Around noon, I got a call from them that my car might need some work; again, not unexpected, the car is old. I was told that my back brakes and e-brake was apparently a disaster. They wanted to replace both drums, both calipers, both brake pads, the brake line, and they wanted to flush and refill the braking fluid. How much, I dared to ask, would this be? The woman responded that, while she was uncertain, she would estimate that it would be around $1,100. I told her absolutely not and that I would be coming to pick up my car. She informed me that if that was the case, they would fail my inspection. Fine by me! I took my car to a farther away but more reputable garage and was told that while, yes, my drums were rusting and would likely need to be replaced sometime in the future, they were not so bad that I failed inspection. No mention of calipers or faulty brake lines. They passed me. My advice is stay away from Midas. Im certain that people like them and while I had good luck in the past, due to this experience I will never return. Unless you know someone there personally or know exactly what your car needs, I wouldnt even try them. As for Midas, please dont attached your copy and paste apology to this review; I dont really want to hear your bull.
Instead of fixing my car they did more damage then help... went in to get looked at after check engine light came on for only one day that week.... did the diagnostic test and said it was the transmission line. Gave the okay to fix it... fixed it but then called after fixing saying that they want to replace the transmission after doing a test drive... claimed that car was having problems when shifting gears. My car has never had problems when shifting gears and was perfectly fine when i dropped it off to get looked at.... Do NOT COME HERE... they damage cars to get more money by wanting to fix and replace things that were not broken in the beginning
Stopped for a oil change and Flush and fill. I asked Andy to check the thermostat which he was going to do anyways. It was sticking so he replaced it. Andy also noticed there was a nail/bolt in my tire. Glad he saw it, we are traveling soon and I could have been in trouble. Thank you Andy and Bob.....
The word service
Had 4 tires from TireRack shipped to this Midas and Dean was ready to install them right away. Compare this to BJs who told me that they are booked 2 weeks out even if I bought the tires from BJs. This is why this Midas is a preferred installer on TireRack. They honored the prices listed on TireRack and not a cent more. Very happy with the mounting and balancing job. Technician was very knowledgeable and explained what he did very clearly. Very nice store with ultra clean bathroom. Generous coffee/tea station with cold sodas too. Very professionally run without trying to dump unnecessary repairs on you. Definitely will be back for my other car related services. Keep up the excellent work guys.
Quick service.
