I felt like they were honest. Pricing was perfect fir my budget. No long wait. So friendly and considerate!!
We plan to return to Midas for all of our oil change needs. We had a great experience compared to other auto repair shops
Job was well done and quick, l was out of there in no time.
All work completed as described in a timely fashion
Do your job better . Check all fluids levels. Check tires pressure. Check air filter . Nothing was done.
Steve was thorough, and explained everything in basic terminology that even my grandmother would be able to understand. He makes it where he teaches without judging the knowledge of the customer.
I was in a hurry to change my battery, they were very friendly making sure that they have the one for my car and that I will be scheduled in matter of just minutes. Amazing experience!
Pleasantly greeted when arrived. Service done in reasonable time and check up explained air put in tires. Only wondered why would reset my odometer
The guys at this Midas location are great. Ed communicated clearly throughout my service and made sure the problem was figured out and resolved. Really love these guys.
Great experience staff is helpful
Guys are always welcoming and feel comfortable of them taking care of my car
Ed made my appt and took care of me at the shop. He was amazing, going over everything in detail and showing me the link they sent to me with photos and all of the issues they found when I asked for an inspection during my oil change. He caught that my back breaks were bad along w some other items that did not impact the safety of driving the car. With no pressure at all he helped me prioritize what needed to be done first and help me make future appointments to get the work done. Amazing. I would refer this shop to anyone asking. Pricing is incredibly fair compared to competitors and I will gladly pay the labor for people I know and trust to do the work on a car that not only I drive but my husband and teens do as well.
Service, pricing, everything was good
Have been coming to this location for years. Honest shop and keeps my car running great.
I would recommend Midas to inspect this franchisee/center and double check their capabilities and cancel their license. As they are cheating customers by replacing unwanted parts without fixing the problems and finally suggesting to take the vehicle to company dealership.
I received an email informing me that my car was due for an oil change. When I booked an appointment for an oil change the employee who attended to me called my attention to other issues with my car to be fixed.
all went as it should have
Steve is always friendly in his service! Dropped a fee for the filter installation. Helps a customer to feel like their technician is looking out! Cheapest installation fee for tires that I called around to. Midas keeps being the best choice! Specifically this location. Thank you Steve!
service was prompt at a reasonable price
Every time I come in, I’m greeted, they ask what the issues are, and if there’s anything else to be taken care of.
It was a good experience in the means of time, explanation of an issue (to a woman)) and the personel was very friendly
Friendly and good quality of work
Always use this Midas location for our catering vehicles. Always get fabulous setvice
I wrote a letter to store manager. Tech inaccurately reported my vehicle status Said air filters were in desperate need of replacement. I replaced them 5 days prior myself, the vehicle hadnt been driven sinceThen said more work needed to be done than necessary
Steave the Manager .. Mundelein Midas.. best in a trade. Enjoy working with his expertise and opinion .
I've used the Mundelein Midas for over 20 years. They always fix my exhaust problems and do not over sell.
Great service every time !
Appreciated the text and photos showing the problem and keeping me informed about the progress of the job. Hope the shop continues to use the texting and photos for future service.
Dropped the car off with a flat tire, Steve said it was no problem without a appointment.
Team members very helpfull Steve and team are great people
Fast service , did the job right and exactly what I asked for.
Mechanic should of tested car properly
The service was friendly quick complete and I have been bringing my vehicles here for several years.
I have been bring my cars to this location with any issues last couple of years. They are always friendly and professional. I trust them. .
Took care of the problem.
Staff is always helpful and friendly. As a woman, I never feel talked down to or like I am being taken advantage of. Time of service is always quick and the staff goes the extra mile
Quick courteous service with a Smile. Help with tire pressure monitor. Problem solved! Thank you for keeping my family safe!
I suspect a lack of communications between Steve my service advisor and the others in the shop. Steve never got messages that I called or communications with the other person up front
Did the job. Other businesses near by failed at that recently.
Friendly and helpful staff. Quick service
Told dealer Honda vehicle uses simi synthetic oil. Left car and went to breakfast. I came back to pick up car and was told full synthetic oil was put in. The last oil change was at different auto shop with semi synthetic oil. I charged for wrong oil change and not reimbursed. Midas should not deal with person in charge.
Great service and communication from sales associate Shaz.
Great service and very friendly staffs .
The service met expectations. The staff was professional and quick.
The mechanic working the desk was very helpful and nice! He gave us coloring books and colored pencils for my kids while we waited.
The associate was very informative
NICE FRIENDLY SERVICE THAT KEEPS MY CAR IN TIP TOP SHAPE! I DRIVE WITH CONFIDENCE BECAUSE OF MIDAS!
I like Steve and the rest of the team.
The team was so cool and friendly. They explained well the process my vehicle is need. The cost is acceptable. The only thing I can complete is my vehicle antenna was not fixed to the front cover.
When I got my vehicle back, it drove better than when I first purchased it.
Fast, expert service with a smile! Always a great job. Took care of my problem!!
No hassle, great experience
I asked about the dashboard lights. I was told it was in the paperwork so assumed they were off. They weren’t.I asked for a headlamp, was quoted $130, I said no way, he came back with $79. A bit high for a headlight wouldn’t you say? The oil change and wiper blades were fine. But I left there with stabilitrack, brake assist, traction control lights etc still on and no explanationwhy or suggested maintenance. It says brakes and tires are fine. I don’t believe the gentleman working the desk was very well trained. I now have to go elsewhere to finish what I went there for
I had my service done there in the past several years. They performed the work pretty well.
I’ve been coming to this location for Atleast 18 years and I trust them with all my vehicles
Friendly employees I been at this Midas before
Walked in with starting issue, Steve said he would check the electrical system and call me.In 30 minutes he called and said it was the battery.
Steve and Renaldo are great. They work together to serve a busy location. I really appreciate how they inspected my 2005 Camry found needed repairs then offered me a ride back to work so everything could be finished same day.
Midas communication and professionalism was excellent. Everyone was polite and extremely respectful and very professional. The Manager was helpful explaining everything. From the bill and mechanical issues I need to get fixed. The Midas Facility was so clean .
I don’t have enough words for Ronaldo thanking him for his professionalism explaining things to me and keeping me posted on the completion of my vehicle
I was not Highly Satisfied with my Midas experience was because my car seats and doors were stained with dirt from the hands of the technician(s) that worked on my car. However, he did a great job!
All was done in a timely manner as I’ve come to expect from Midas. The mechanics were polite and available to answer any questions from me, leaving the car immaculate and in perfect working order.
Excellent customer service by all staff
Price is highly inflated, the store nearby dropped the part as Midas have internal ordering system, the store is selling the same part in less than 50% of what Midas charge to customer, on top you charge huge labor cost
It was conducted at different times on the same day as the oil exchange for two cars. I know the difference between 6qt and 8qt, but the cost difference seemed too big. The price tag says $69.00 but I paid $89 and $120.00.
Parts were very expensive compared to other shops.
Always a pleasant experience with excellent service. Your team members are the best!
Dropped vehicle off and left key and instruction in drop box. Did follow up call next morning. Manager and I went over my concerns. Manager called with vehicle issues and best options for repairs. When I picked up vehicle explained why repairs were need and what was none to make corrections. Was very thorough explaining what was done and gave excellent suggestions what would be needed to keep problem from occurring again.MJH
Steve and Ronaldo did an exceptional job.
Steve and his team were very professional and courteous! They explained everything very throughly.
Steve was honest & only fixed what was needed. Highly recommended!
They know the needs on my car thanks Midas
I requested additional service work which they told me they inspected & informed that it was not necessary at this time
They are friendly and I have had good experiences with them in the past. They do things in an timely manner or explain why not.
Serviced 2 times at this Midas. Recommend to a neighbor because of the quality and price of Service. I told my son to go there for tires and will take my wife's car for oil change and tires.
Everything was great. I have only one complaint. I spent almost 1100 on new tires and when they brought my vehicle out the tires were filthy. I immediately went to a car wash, paid extra for the tire cleaning and it still did not clean the tires. Went home and used a tire shine product. I would have liked the tires to look new!
Great Job. They always make sure our three cars are safe and serviced properly. We appreciate their nice helpful attitude!
Have been going to this Midas in Mundelein for over 2 years and really like the team and speed, convenience and efficiency of the work.
When I left my car started making a Loud knocking noise. Went back & was promptly addressed.
Ronaldo explained exactly what needed to be done with my vehicle, and he worked hard to find a way to make the pricing as reasonable as possible. Deano also talked to me to make sure I was clear on what was best for my vehicle. I feel like I can trust them, and that they really care about my vehicle.
Great value and nice people.
Great customer service super fast service
Simple fix was taken care of quickly and at no charge.
When an appointment is made online it must register at the business so that I don’t waste my time going there only to find the appointment doesn’t appear on the business computer.
I’ve been coming here for years. Always great!
Great service and very friendly management
Was given information about a problem, fixed it (new battery). Easy
Ronaldo was absolutely amazing! He truly is an asset to the store! It was such a pleasure working home. I definitely will bring my car back in the future. thank you Ronaldo.
Figured out the issue with the rattling in my car after doing extensive testing and only charged me to fix the tire
PERFECT JOB! THEY TAKE CARE OF ALL THREE OF OUR CARS. I KNOW THAT i CAN DEPEND ON OM MY MIDAS MUNDELEIN STORE. MY FAMILY IS SAFE AND SECURE! THANK YOU!
I got email confirmation for the appointment but tore didn’t had it in the system, but the associate was able to help me. You may have to see the system issues
Always get great service from this Midas store
Easy, Efficient and Professional
I wrote a review stating that I was denied the use of a coupon. I am totally in the wrong and have apologized for my mistake. Sorry to Midas too!
Have taken 3 vehicles to the Midas in Mundelein and always treated fairly, service was effective and fast. Highly pleased with outcomes.
On 3/29/22 I had an oil change in Mundelein IL. I tried to submit a coupon from Midas that said: 29.95 for synthetic blend 29.95 or full synthetic oil change for 59.99. The man behind the counter told me that it was also for a tire rotation which I didn?t have. When I got home I looked at the coupon and it never mentioned a tire rotation. I foolishly believed this man. I will not use this Midas again because they cannot be trusted.
Super straight forward. Transparent, honest.
Good price for oil change
Performed tire maintenance on leaking tire
They are very professional. The work quality was pretty good.
Everything went well and I never had any problems, I am just satisfied with my visit and will recommend to my family and friends about Midas.
The process was easy and quick.
Fair price. Good service. When something went wrong they help fix it. Sometimes things go wrong it's how you fix them that matters.
The guy is very rude. He overcharged me for the break and battery service and he didn't even owner the coupon they published on their website. I will never go again there.
Steve is great. He cares about helping his customers.
I was there a few months ago for them to put my new headlights. They couldn?t help me because there was some damage they couldn?t fix. I totally understood but before they checked my card I asked them politely if they could PLEASE be careful when they open

I took my Fiat Spider 124 to Midas a couple of days ago and was thoroughly pleased. They followed the pandemic protocols and the waiting area was very clean. They changed the oil and rotated the tires and everything seems fine. I will return in the future.

The pricing and the quality of work was amazing! They are very detail oriented and speak to you like a normal person and not like another mechanic! Highly recommended
"In all the years of working with the Midas Team they never disappoint! Frombeginning to end ,the process is very professional ,earnest ,and honest!!?"
The team at Midas has been providing quality care and service on my vehicle for many years. There is no other shop I would trust as they are always very informative and thorough.
Steve explained what needed to be done and took good care of me.Also provided a ride to and from my home. Very grateful.I found him and the staff to be very helpful and courteous.Their attitude made it a pleasant experience.
Friendly, efficient, cost effective service.

"Thank you, for great job- fast, quality "
You guys always do a good job? However the resent price rase and the non punch card on your oil changes has force me to look for a new place to get my oil changes!!
"Had tires installed, everything went smooth from making the appointment to picking up the car with new tires. Unbeatable low price and great service!I even thought about replacing the tires on my other car which still have enough tread but I was concerned "
Quality job completed in time
I saw a tire rotation and oil change email coupon and decided to visit the Mundelein Midas service center again. Haven't needed much in the way of repair to my vehicle - good thing - but a tire rotation and oil change were needed. I asked if Midas could

I LOVE this place. These guys have been keeping me on the road and feeling confident for years! Now my kids are taking their cars as well. They always inform but do not try to upsell. They will give options with pricing and tell you when to expect to have
"Stoped in yesterday as my rear tire was going flat. No appointment. They took me right away, fixed the tire in 20 minutes, didn't try to up-sell me on a new tire and charged $28. Very honest, very friendly service. "
Not very professional asked for tire rotation they came back and told me they rotated all but one. Couldn?t get one wheel off. What shop does that???It?s just lazy to me and oil changes come with windshield wiper blade fluid topped off they didn?t do that
As always you guys take care of me and for fill my request see you for the next oil change thank you
Excellent service. I did a fully Synthetic oil change thru Midas Mundeliene, IL!!!!. My car is like brand new now!!!
Received excellent and timely oil change.
The work they did on my truck at Midas in Mundelein on Rt 83 was horrible. Paid $700 on a new y pipe in 2015 and had to have a gasket replaced and guess what they did? They cut the y pipe because they were too lazy to take down the pip to change the gasket
Niceplace. Very friedly They did not try to scam me.
We have used this location for 3 of our cars and they have worked with us on the price of repairs.
Great service. Prompt. Didn't try to sell me anything like other shops do. I definitely recommend Midas in Mundelein!
Great service by Midas , Mundeliene!!!
good service and best deals in price

Great service from Midas, very quick to schedule a visit & exceptional service from Midas Mundeliene, Shop. I couldn't ask for more!!!
Clean waiting area. Nice folks. 4 stars instead of 5 because it took a bit longer than expected and I was charged for an extra quart of oil.
Worst place to visit for car repair. Its a scam they run.I had a problem with my cars battery/alternator/starter. So i got my car towed there. They mentioned they did all the car charging system check and found alternator and battery both are dead. So i said go ahead and replace it. When i asked for written test results the store employee didnt have it and he started being rude. The truth is they did not do any test and just said that i have to replace it. They quoted $800 which is way high.
"This is my favorite place to get an oil change! They do a great, great, thorough job! They are not over-priced. They do not try to fool you with fake repairs! It is clean to sit there and drink coffee. They are nice guys! A***"

Put too much oil in the engine during the routine oil change
Not sure I was shown my tire. Did not have a nail in the place where they showed me when I went and had it checked at Sears. New tires were put on the back of my car and went to another place to have air put in my front tires a month later and they tell me my tires need to be rotated. ?????? Think I may have been duped?
This Midas location provides excellent service at economical prices. I was given a detailed written estimate which was half the cost of what a nearby chain repair shop had quoted! Dave showed me exactly what needed to be repaired and took the time to exp

"Great guys, great service and most importantly I trust them. That's rare in the automotive business. I will return as needed."
I'm normally cautious of car repair places but this was my 3rd visit to this Midas for different unrelated problems over the last couple years. Renoldo did an excellent job communicating the problem (brakes and wheel bearing) with my car and the solution.
I would not recommend this Midas in Long grove to anyone, I went in for a resonator replacement, and they broke the pipe that held the converter in place, so I had to have the converter replaced that I think I should not have had to pay for, plus something that they said they fixed but didn't
"I was very impressed with the service and knowledge of the store associates. Not only did they do a great job installing my new exhaust system they even transported the old one back to my storage unit due to the size.Great job, I will be back for sure!"
"Not happy with the service I received. I originally went in for a new resonator, and ended up paying for converter plus. and I also had a brake warning light on, and they said they fixed it, but the light is still on.I guess I got ripped off, again"
