not a recommend place. most of there workers are unexperienced big time. its very dear & i think they need real qualified people to do the job. i took my can back 3 times to get them to fix it right. in the end i had to go to a different place. NOT recommended

Approximate cost: $350

I received a promotional flyer in my letterbox which was along the lines of, 'Something wrong with your car but not sure what? Bring it in to Midas for a free inspection and written report'. I booked my vehicle in and asked them to look at the handbrake as it had been disconnected and I wanted a quote as to what exactly was wrong with it and a cost to fix it and one other problem with the car revving highly for no apparent reason. When I went to collect my vehicle I was told that the repairs would be approximately $550 being for the handbrake caliper and the idle up motor but was not supplied with a written report as stated in the flyer. I went to reverse my car out from the workshop but was unable to unless I put my foot rather heavily down on the accelerator so I called over one of the mechanics. He asked if the handbrake was on so I checked and it wasn't so he proceeded to bend down near the rear drivers side and 'banged' something(I'm guessing the handbrake caliper?)and that freed up whatever was stopping me from moving. As a result of them doing whatever it was they did, my vehicles brakes made a continuous scraping noise so I asked a friend who is a mechanic to have a look at it for me and subsequently fixed both problems for me at a cost of only $150(but this was not inclusive of any labour charge). I had another experience with this same Midas quite a few years ago(In approx 1995 so thought I'd give them a second chance with this recent one) where I was told that the brake discs on my Volvo had been machined down to under specifications and was quoted $500 to replace/fix that problem.
