  They did a full synthetic oil and filter change but didn't change the filter and put almost three gallons of oil in the car. I broke broke down less the 600 miles later and after $700+ in repairs the district manager towed my car to where I don't know really but now is saying I have to pay for a fuel pump and that may not be the only problem and it's $670.80 for the pump and $475 for labor or pay to have the car towed back. The car didn't have a code or anything showing it needed that pump I have messages that show the manager tried to lie about a receipt that showed what codes were on the car and what work was done so far. He also tried to say the car had no codes that they were cleared already before the car got there but that is not true cause the car was scanned the day before it left and had 9 codes. The manager then said there were codes one for the fuel pump and a low fuel pressure code and neither were there before it left. He then told me even though my schedule prevents it that I had to call because there would be no more communication by txt message and thats the last I have heard from him in two days.

  The vehicle is at our location and need a high pressure fuel pump. nothing we caused. DM has left multiple VM, but customer, for some reason, is not returning his call. Nothing we can do until customer actually calls the DM and not just text. DM explained customer can call him later in day when he is off work.

  I am rejecting this response because: The car had no fuel pump issues before it was towed from my house. Plus the DM refused to even tell me how they diagnosed it was the pump. He said there were no codes on the car then he said the only codes were for the pump and a low fuel pressure but wouldn't give me the codes. The car had several codes when it left my house. The pump was not one of them. Also is the DM going to answer my call at 3am?? Also I have not got a single call since the DM REFUSED TO RESPOND TO MY TXT.

  1. Transaction 6/6/25 2:21 pm 2. No "funds" were exchanged or the trade of my car never happened.3. The business provided me with a car-fax with false reading from Midas and stopped the "deal" because he was giving me $4500 for my car and after seeing car fax it dropped to $3000 & I had to come back in 2 weeks, remind you I traveled 250 miles because the deal was "locked in". Midas didn&#**;t send to car-fax 1 or 2 but "6" time no. It made it come back as (potential odometer rollback) ***** told me it will be off on 6/27 so I tried to trade on 6/28 it still came up.4. Remove from car-tax (and to be compensated from treble damages, statutory damages, cancel the deal, misrepresentation fraud).5. Tried to resolve this issue with Midas headquarters in ******, Sent him copy&#**;s of the "6" bad car-fax. His secretary hung up on me & sent me to answer machine. Left several messages - no responses. He shouldn&#**;t be able to get away with this. (I will start seeking a lawyer) at this time

  After customer contacted me regarding a Carfax discrepancy, I had customer send me all documents he had. Investigated on our end, sent Carfax and email on what was found and the Carfax report was corrected. It was noted to customer during our email communication that the previous owners of his vehicle has a new 2019 **** Flex and used the old plates off the 2011 that he now owns. The repairs that were in question on his 2011 **** Flex Carfax report were for the 2019. When pulling the invoices from our system, we have the correct VIN number for the previous owners of his vehicle, new ***************** our system. This looks to be a Carfax mistake. We entered the proper VIN of the 2019 **** Flex, it is not our fault Carfax tagged his 2011 **** Flex due to same plate number. No compensation will be issued, the ****** report for customers 2011 **** Flex has been updated.

  Late march took my car to Midas the manager at the time ***** said he would take good care of me and wanted to earn my business. Had car towed to midas. My power steering wasn’t working so he fixed rack and pinions and alignment. Cost was $1530. 51 days later the power steering again wasn’t working instead of fixing it correctly under warranty. they said power steering column went and they need 2k to fix it and was different issue. The car isn’t even worth 3500 in power steering repairs and parts. My friend and I took car from Midas who wasn’t too friendly to talk to us. He took it to local mechanic and we got part from parts yard for $194, he advised me because Midas put rack in crooked it caused steering column to go and they should have fixed this correctly for you instead of trying to rip you off. He also noticed wheel bearing needed repair that my wheel was about to fall off. Another neglect of service from Midas. They only care about ripping you off. All I asked was Midas was to refund some of the labor and parts because I had to go out of pocket to fix something they should have taken care of because of their negligence. I went to corporate filed complaint and whoever is in charge of stow has decided not to take care of this problem because I had to have someone else fix their mess. I wouldn’t have had to had you not decided to rip off your customers and not fix their car so they can drive it.

  On 3/27/25, customer was in for "Power steering binding." We inspected vehicle and found needed a new rack, steering column, and front end work. Customer approved the rack and declined front end work and steering column. Customer returns on 5/20 with request "power steering tight." We inspect the vehicle and again estimate the steering column, customer declines. On 7/2, customer sends me invoices from an auto parts store dated 5/21 for a steering column and a wheel bearing, wanting reimbursed, stating we installed rack wrong causing the issue. NO, we told you it needed a new steering column when we installed the rack. The wheel bearing is normal wear, and again, has nothing to do with us replacing the rack. No refund will be issued  simply because customer opted to have a used column installed at a secondary shop for a lower cost. We do not deal in used parts.

  The issue began approximately April 11th, 2025. I took my car to Midas, they were going to change my glow plugs. They determined that one of the glow plugs had disintegrated and for over two weeks tried to get it out. Finally, the stor in Newport Ky, informed me it would be better just to swap the motor. I agreed, and had an estimated cost of $3150. One month later the garage door had a piece of glass fall out and damaged my car. They did agree to replace the trunk lid, but it is not the same trunk lid I had. Now there are scratches all over my car that were not there before, and even gouges. This will take more than a paint job to fix. After another month of waiting for my car to be fixed, and about $1000 more in charges, they finally said it was ready. The store did discount the charges, down to $3700, but refused to give me my car for the $3100 promised. After waiting for it for 2 months, they should have given it to me for free. I've had the car now for about 3 weeks, and the motor is smoking, so it will be returning to the Midas store, because I was told the motor has a 90 day warranty. Yet I have no paperwork on the motor itself, and no clue where it came from or anything.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  
  The reason you currently have the car is not the original complaint I am requesting review upon. The current issue is being covered by the 90 day warranty I was told I have, since the motor was replaced. 

  I do not have any paperwork on the used motor which I need for potential future issues. I have issue with the amount charged for the replacement of the motor, because it was not what I was originally quoted, nor was it what I told the store manager I could afford. 

  I was also without a car for 2 whole months. A full 60 days. I had to borrow cars, get rides, spend money on bus fare. 

  On top of all that, I now have to spend time and money getting my trunk lid replaced, because the one I have does not look like my original trunk lid. I also have to find a body shop near me to repair the damage by the garage door window. 

  I am seeking compensation for these issues. 

  
  Sincerely,

  I brought my car in for an oil change on 06/20/2025 and was told that it couldn't be completed because the oil pan cap was damaged therefore couldn't be put back in. It was claimed to be a factory defect by the technician. I was required to tow the car to ****** and they told me it was damaged by over torquing the cap and had nothing to do with it being a factory defect. This repair is going to cost me $600+ because of negligence on Midas' part. ****** says they see this a lot from shops like Midas and showed me where the actual damage occurred. I simply would like to be reimbursed for the damage Midas has caused and move on with my business and go elsewhere in the future.

To repair splice suction line rubber hose it cost $154.49. On 8/9/2024 Midas manager ***** ******* recharged the ** and it cost $189.99. Fast forward it hasnt been a year yet and my ** goes out again. On 6/12/2025 I took my car to Midas and was told I needed a new hose coupler now. Once replaced I took it to be recharged and it still had a hole in it. I took my car back on 6/13/2025 and was told now I need a whole new ** hose the cost would be $485.99 and to recharge my ** $189.99. I called corporate and spoke to ****** ********* not understanding why I am constantly paying all this money for my ** and it has not been a year yet. I was told there was no way they could have known it was the ** hose. On 6/16/2025 I dropped my car off to another shop and was told Midas did a horrible job with fixing my ** hose and kept putting clamps over the holes. I was charged $626 to at this other automotive shop. This whole time Midas was overcharging me and rigging my ** hose so I could spend more money.I will upload pictures below.

  August of 2024 an AC line was replaced and a coupler was used to repair the other line that was not available.  On 6/12/25, sop gave customer an estimate to replace line that  was repaired last year (due to not being available) and now leaking.  The estimate reflects a credit in labor since the repair did not hold.

  Was charged for a catalytic converter replacement that was not done and company refuses to fix the problem.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 06/16/2025

  Vehicle has 2 convertors. on 7/22/24, we replaced  the bank 2 convertor. When customer returned 4 months later on 11/14/24, bank 1 convertor now needed to replace. This is nothing we caused, this is normal wear. Nothing more we can do here. 

  

  Business Response

  Date: 06/19/2025

  We dealt with customer back in January when this was a Midas complaint and nothing was ever mentioned about having one of the 2 just recently replaced. The Midas complaint was - Paid to have catalytic converter replaced and it
  was not replaced. We replaced 1 of the 2 convertors almost a year ago because it was faulty. 5 months later the second one now needs replaced. If customer had one of the 2 previously replaced before initially coming to us in July 2024, then they should have taken it back to that location for possible warranty work. Nothing more we can do here. We replaced the convertor that needed replaced a the time.

  On May 22, 2025, I had new tires installed at Midas Store #202 (2087 Riverside Dr, Columbus, OH). The next day (May 23), while driving approximately 75 mph eastbound on I-90 near Cleveland, the front driver-side wheel detached from my vehicle. The truck dropped onto the rotor and veered onto the shoulder. Thankfully, no injuries occurred, but it was a dangerous situation involving highway traffic.
  
  I called AAA, and the vehicle was towed to another Midas location in Akron. That location confirmed that the spindle, rotor, and rim were damaged due to the wheel detachment. Midas covered those repairs and reimbursed the $350 tow, which I appreciated.
  
  After retrieving the vehicle, I noticed a transmission fluid leak. An independent mechanic later determined the leak was not caused by the incident but was a pre-existing issue, so I am not requesting compensation for that.
  
  This complaint concerns the failure of the initial installation. The incident occurred less than 24 hours after the tires were installed, and the damage caused was significant. I believe a proper installation would have prevented this.
  
  Resolution Sought:
  
  A full refund of the tire installation service, as the issue was caused by improper installation.
  
  A written apology from Midas corporate acknowledging the seriousness of the incident and the failure in service.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 06/05/2025

  Tell us why here...On 5/22/25, we
  installed new tires for the customer. The following day, while driving on I-90
  near Cleveland, he claims the driver-side front wheel came off at 75 mph,
  causing the vehicle to veer into the shoulder. The vehicle was towed to the Midas on Ghent Rd in Akron. That
  shop covered the cost of repairs and the $350 tow.
  
  ****
  is now requesting a full refund on the tires and installation, reimbursement
  for the tires, and a formal written apology.
  
  Here’s
  what we know:
  
  Our security footage confirms the technician properly
  torqued all lug nuts using a torque wrench while the vehicle was still
  partially supported—done correctly by the book.
  The Akron Midas replaced any components affected by the
  incident, and there is no damage to the body or undercarriage. The car
  never hit the ground.
  The leak the customer later reported was inspected at
  our Henderson Rd location. It was determined to be from a severely rusted
  transmission pan, consistent with wear on a 200K+ mile vehicle from
  Canada/Ohio—completely unrelated to the wheel issue.
  During my phone call with the customer, he admitted he hit a pothole at 75 mph, which would absolutely explain the
  shearing of the studs and subsequent wheel detachment.
  His own mechanic confirmed the leak had nothing to do
  with the prior incident.
  
  Bottom line: Customer got a full repair and tow covered based on a situation that doesn’t point to
  any negligence on our part. We’re not offering a refund, tire reimbursement, or
  additional compensation. 

  Customer Answer

  Date: 06/05/2025

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because:
  
  While the technician may have appeared to follow protocol, the fact remains that the driver-side wheel detached less than 24 hours after installation while driving at highway speed. This is not a normal or acceptable outcome and strongly suggests improper installation or torque failure, even if unintentional. Properly installed wheels don’t shear off from a single highway bump, especially with no preexisting damage to the studs or hub noted prior.
  
  Their claim that the vehicle “never hit the ground” contradicts the reality: photos show visible damage to the rotor and components that contacted the road. The vehicle veered across the lane shoulder, and I narrowly avoided a serious accident. That Midas covered the repairs implies acknowledgment that something went wrong.
  
  I do not dispute the later transmission leak was unrelated, nor do I blame Midas for preexisting vehicle issues. My request is solely related to the immediate and dangerous failure after the tire installation. I believe a refund for the installation service and an acknowledgment of the incident is a fair and reasonable resolution.
  
  Sincerely,

  Less than a month ago I took my 2018 ***** Trax to have its turbo replaced and oil cooler. After service was completed the car was having power issues, along with a very loud flanking noise coming from the engine bay. I ended up taking the vehicle same day after the service was completed to trade in the vehicle. After trading in the vehicle I took the new vehicle to the same shop to have my pads replaced. Upon completion of service the shop notified me that the calibers were having issues and to order new ones. Driving back home from the shop it was grinding the entire way. Upon arrival to my destination the front passenger side caliber was smoking. Both vehicles were noise free before coming to Midas, but after the service was completed something was wrong with each vehicle. I am now sitting in a **** dealership waiting for my car to be repaired after Midas damaged the vehicle.

  We recommended replacing pads and rotors front and rear. We were unable to push pistons in on both front calipers. We brought the customer out showed him what was going on and told him he needed front calipers and the soonest we could get them was Wednesday. He said he needed the car and would have to bring it back. If he brings the car back in we can complete needed repairs. Customer was sent inspection and estimate.
