Have been using the services of Paul at the El Cerrito location for over 23years. As I just gave my grandson my car, I will no longer be using Midas. Paul has always been very helpful, kind and up front about my needs. I am 83 years old; and, have not driven for five years because of medications I need to take. When my grandson came from Texas to pick up my car, I wanted to make sure it was in tiptop shape before he drove through three states to return home. Friends would drive my car when they took me grocery shopping and to doctor appointments. I always and will continue to recommend Paul at Midas!

Paul Vallot makes this Midas an excellent place of business, year after year! I'm a long-term happy customer. On this visit, I brought in my 2007 Tacoma with an urgent situation. He was able to diagnose the issue on the spot and have a new radiator in the truck within a few hours. He called with an update that the truck would be ready earlier than expected. And the price was very fair. Big thanks to Paul and his talented team again!
