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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

March 19, 2022

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
