Mufflers repair service near Millingport, NC

Mike and Ernie, the guys that run the Matthews Midas are fair, knowledgable and trustworthy guys. I have been going to their shop for about a year now and they have been great to me since day one. The will not charge you for things you don't need, they will shop for a good deal for your vehicle in the case of finding tires and if they can't fix your car or can't find the problem, they won't charge you for their time. I found them by reading reviews like these, and my experience has been just as good as every review I've read about them. They are good guys, great mechanics and I'm happy to give them a great review.

Took my car in for an oil change and saw that they had a Groupon special. The Groupon was advertised as $29. The owner told me to ignore the coupon and he would give me the same price. His "same Price" Was $79.95. He said that he had to replace an oil drain plug, which on the invoice is only $13.98.

Had several small punctures in my tire. They were able to replace my tire same day.

This service center used to be one that you could depend on having dependable repairs for a moderate cost, NOT ANY MORE! The owner has gotten extremely greedy with mark up of parts and his labor prices! I recently had a vehicle in their shop for a water pump replacement. After getting a fairly reasonable estimate, and oking the work, once they start they call with excuses they had ordered the wrong pump, new pump will be $45 more. Not much you can do once they started the work, but if that wasn't bad enough, they then decide to tell you that the serpentine belt needs replacing too, which still is no big deal till they charge $95 for a belt that you can buy at NAPA for $24 retail or another auto parts store for $19. Considering they get their parts at wholesale prices which should be at least 30% discount they profit almost 500%on markup of a belt that jumped in value from $17.50 wholesale to $95, and then they try to convince you that it is a good deal because they didn't charge labor when they had to take off and reinstall belt anyway for water pump replacement! The owner has turned greedy, money hungry, and price gouges. A water pump and belt replacement should never cost over $300 yet this repair was almost double that! I had been a customer for over 10 years, but I will not be back to be robbed by these crooks again! A word of advice , take your repairs to a shop that doesn't price gouge their customers!

The worst experience of my life. The company kept charging me diagnostic fees for the same problem that never got fix. I would not recommend coming here ever again

I recently had our car's muffler upfitted due to the fact that the dealership told us that present muffler's intake was not allowing enough exhaust to pass through. This Meineke shop charged me $650. to update the muffler. I have had since then trouble with the muffler now vibrating and making a clunking noise and brought it to Midas muffler to check out. Midas says that Meineke installed too long a pipe causing the noise. Midas also said they could have replaced with a brand new muffler for less than $650.? Midas only charged me $45.00 to shorten the pipe where it needed to be as well as repair a dangling cadalytic converter heat shield. Meineke not only ripped me off, they did not install the muffler correctly! This review is not meant for all Meineke Muffler shops, just the one located 6447-A East Independence Blvd.!
