Tire repair service near Dixon, CA

Last December, I need to have Oil, filter change and break pad. I went online and found coupon for Midas in Arden since it's closer to work. I took my car the following day and received great service. I came for Oil and filter only but I knew tabout my break pad is need change because the dealer told me a few months before. Last night, 3/28/13, I went online and read some of the rating. One that stuck to me is, Arden Midas is great at first but the second and third visit doesn't give you good service. Since I received a good service last time, I check this shop again. As soon as I got there, I told the person on the counter what I read about this shop. Someone gave them a bad rating. he said really. Guess what after I told that person about the bad rating, he himself did the service and found out that he is the owner. I received an excellent service. I'll come back again and let my friend knows. thak you

Jeremias took $3500 from me to put a used engine in my old car. Once he took possession of it and took the head off, the game was over. When removing your car and going somewhere else is no longer an option, you have the tiger by the tail. The "cost" kept increasing up to $1800 that I still (involuntarily) agreed to. ($1500 had been my target cost) The last day he told me the final price was $3100, (+ the $700 for the used, untested motor...which was BAD) without my having approved of THAT absurd figure. Many "chores" were charged as separate procedures to jack up the price. Charging hours of labor for motor mounts when the engine is being replaced anyway is one example. The engine had no oil pressure and the "engine" light was on. Smog was due in six weeks and a component was missing. I had to sell the car for junk ($49 at Pick N Pull) and I had to go to court. I won in court but he won't pay. The sheriff went for a "till tap" but couldn't collect any money because he does cash transactions from his pocket. His profile with the BBB and others was not consistent with his past life, as far as years in auto repair, etc. He knows every trick in the book. "If you give this man your ride, sweet memories will die." (slight variation of the Jim Morisson song) I have all the paperwork to prove these comments, from the greed-driven invoice from 1st Choice to the $49 receipt from Pick N Pull. In court he acts confused and thinks I should have brought it BACK to him! I'm actually a little curious to see how high his lack of shame would allow him to raise the price. Of course I regret paying the total to remove my car. I should have let him keep it, but I thought the legal route was the way to go. Well...not so much with this slick operator.

Mike was great! We were in need of a last minute repair, and they were able to get us in and fixed within hours.

My truck wouldn't pass the smog test and you discovered a broken cigarette lighter. I had been plugging a dash camera into it and that was causing the fuse to mess up.

I had the lifetime break pads installed on my car about a year ago and now need to replace them. So I called them to see about replacing them and was told the front end replacement job would be $189.99. When I told them I had the life time replacement pads on the car and asked what would the price be I was told $198.99. I will not be going back to them, they are a rip off. Will also tell every one I can about this.
