Midas, Centereach NY

I'm from Buffalo and my son attends Stony Brook University. His car was in need of specialized repair and he went to a dealer. After weeks and no help or communication from the dealer we told him go to Midas in Centereach Long Island. From the very start they communicated and had our best interest at heart. Store owner Tom even went to the dealer to retrieve a part they neglected to give back to us. Store Manager Tracey (always pleasant) kept us up to date during the progress until completion. They even drove my son to and from his residence. After my son paid and left, Tracey found his credit card on the ground. She called us immediately and kept it safe until he came back. Dealing with this long distance was easier with Tracey and Tom. I highly recommend Midas for everyone's future auto needs.

They got me in last minute on a Saturday and gave me a coupon for my service saving me $40. Very impressed and would highly recommend them

Was recommended this spot by my father & there always attentive and kind. I always feel like I'm getting the straight facts about my car and no run arounds!

They broke my 02 sensor while changing my oil. There was no way they could have gotten to my oil filter without touching it. Because of what they did, my vehicle did not pass their emissions inspection. Now I have a broken car and no new inspection sticker (they charged me for this inspection that I failed because of them). They asked me if I had issues with the car in the past, I told them it's a new car that I bought a year ago. Up until I brought it to Midas in centereach, I haven't had a problem with it at all. Now it doesn't want to accelerate, it keeps acting like it wants to stall and I had a bunch of lights go on on my dashboard (which none were on when I arrived). I called them when I left and realized how bad my car was running all of a sudden. They recommend I take it back to my dealership! They also sent me away with a recall form. When I looked at it later I realized that it was for an entirely different make/ model/ year car. Now my mechanic wants to charge me 200-300 to fix everything.

They are very good here. My father and I both had issues on our vehicles recently, ranging from a major job with a transmission replacement to ac’s not working to tires etc.they did a great job with all of them. They even fixed some minor things they didn’t have to and didn’t try and break me over the head for it. Hard to find trust worthy mechanics these days and I will def be returning for any future work I need done.

Save a headache and go to Mavis instead. The experience was night and day. Midas's prices online are not current and its a known issue but the company refuses to correct it. They want you to drop your car off and then hit you with the unexpected prices. I was quoted $30 more for each tire. They also fail NYS inspections for items you do not need (I got verification from another garage that I did not need a tire that Midas told me I did. Then they had the audacity to charge me a $25 restocking fee of a tire when I was smart enough to leave Midas without putting up my mortgage. You read that right, a tire supplier charged me a restocking fee of a tire. My experience cost me $200 at Mavis, if I was gullible enough to listen to Tracy at Midas, it would have been $600. Unethical crooks

OG of Midas in Coram is your most valuable employee. I have been to other locations in the past and have never received such professional and amazing service! From the moment I pulled up he provided excellent customer service, diagnosed my vehicle issue quickly, and fixed my vehicle EVEN THOUGH the store was about to close. His high level of professionalism and skill should be recognized. OG Is the best and I will be back to this location for my vehicle needs ONLY if he is working.

Very honest, professional, polite service here. Tracy is the best. I had an issue today that I figured would cost me a few bucks, months after I had some lines replaced here. She didn’t charge me and told me my current issue was under warranty. I was shocked and delighted. I highly recommend this shop. Thanks.

Excellent, checked out my car thoroughly, friendly staff especially woman behind counter will come back.

Super unprofessional I asked to just have a muffler welded on and the lady at the front desk just laughed and seemed lost and didn’t really know what she was talking about, no masks worn and just rude

This place is bad.no proper communication.dropped a vehicle off for service and received a quote for about $200. Dropped off the vehicle around 11: 00 AM, got a phone call and message 5: 26 PM stating the vehicle was not finished and would be ready the next day. Spoke to personal Saturday morning and was told it was a little harder to the seasoned tech and would be finished later. I went to pick up the vehicle and was handed a $450.bill. Asked why I wasn't notified of an increase and was told that they left a message that it was harder but nothing about more money. I understand that during these trying and difficult times it's hard to have proper communication skills.this is just a sad sad story. I definitely would not recommend this place

I have had nothing but excellent experiences here. They have always been fair and honest, and have always provided me with solutions and advice on car care when I'm in a bind. I won't bring my car anywhere else for maintenance, service, and repairs.

I went to this location because earlier this year they replaces my rear brakes. Even though they were expensive they did a great job. Yet, I am extremly disappointed to see zero staff wore mask. The place had nothing clean about it. Customers had no requirement to wear mask and their was a since of irrogance and proudness about that and people at risk. I walked a few miles in each direction in the pouring rain to not stay in the waiting room. I worked in maintenance shops severals years of my life. No place has to be kept so dirty. Plus which has nothing to do with the above - their costs have risen. Not worth the health risk or price. Yet great receptionist - kind to all people.

Brought my car in For an inspection. They said I would need a new back brakes in order for it to pass inspection and had a leak in my transmission couldn't tell me where it was coming from until I spent $85 to clean around transmission. So we got the brakes done because I needed you to be inspected as soon as we pulled out of the shop ABS brake lights went on didn't bring it back but called them right away two days later when did bring back they said it wasn't there fault it was some sensor I guess possible but I wonder why it happened as soon as they did the brakes. So I took the car to a transmission place they said it was a washer which is where the transmission was leaking and must've been really recent cost me $20. I have zero proof they did anything to the break sensor or the transmission it just seems really shady especially the brake light three minutes after they did the brakes. So just be careful

Tried to sell me an entire exhaust system that was not needed. Did a 6" sleeve the weld on it in my opinion was sub standard. I'm a welder and know a good weld when I see one. Would not go back for that reason. Staff was very courageous.
