Anyone else had issues with the Midas on Summer & Highland (formerly Right Tire)?
Anyone else had issues with the Midas on Summer & Highland (formerly Right Tire)?
Just putting this out there because I genuinely feel like I was getting scammed, and this is actually my second experience like this with this shop.
Most recently, I went in for an alternator issue and was initially quoted around $1,500 for the alternator, belt, labor, fees, etc. Once I questioned the price and asked for a breakdown, they were suddenly able to lower it to around $1,000. I called another reputable local shop and was quoted roughly $700 for the alternator replacement. They also recommended replacing my fairly new battery even though it had just tested good at an auto parts store.
A few months ago, I took the same vehicle there for an oil leak and was told I needed my oil pan replaced. They then tried to add roughly another $2,000 in work because they said my power steering fluid was leaking. I declined that additional work, and four months later I’ve had no issues with the power steering. On top of that, they initially installed the wrong oil pan, so the vehicle was still leaking and I had to bring it back the very next day. I wasn’t refunded anything for the inconvenience.
To be fair, everyone I’ve dealt with there has been friendly and professional. But after two experiences involving expensive additional recommendations, the huge difference between their quote and another shop’s quote, and the previous repair issue, I don’t feel comfortable taking my vehicle there anymore.
Just wanted to share my experience so other people know to get a second opinion before approving expensive repairs. Curious if anyone else has had similar experiences with this location. Please spread the word to anyone that uses this Midas location or any other Midas location.
