Auto repair service near Westfield, NJ

Went there for state inspection. They told me that my car needs front break pads. I was surprised because day before I went to my dealer for oil change and state inspection, which they could not do because of their broken machine and they did mention that my car needed break pads after courtesy meticulous inspection. Dealer’s multipoint inspection sheet indicated that my break pads are less than half way through. I guess it is dealer’s word against Midas’s word. But I’m sure dealer would not pass on this job if my car needed pads and release me in unsafe vehicle. Not wanting to pay for failed state inspection, I went with replacement. Midas charged me $99.99 for Centric ceramic front pads only! + $106 for labor. I think I got the DEAL OF a LIFETIME here as such break pads cost no more than $30 all over the internet. I still could have done good mileage on these break pads. Rip off and scam. Will not go there again!

YI was extremely pleased with my service. My technicians name was Mathew, he was very polite as well as professional. He knew exactly what he was talking a out, was very knowledgeable about vehicles in general. I had my axle fluid changed both air filters the oil done a power steering fluid flush and the next time I came back I was lucky enough to actually have him serve me again along along with Chris a manager I am guessing cause he had a special red shirt on. Then this last time I came in had my fuel injection service done and brought back some pep in my vehicles engine as well as gas mileage also had my battery replaced. Although I spend a decent amount of money Mathew made me feel not as if I was being pressured or done wrong. He also made a great point how it was preventive maintenance and would of cost triple maybe more having this all done by a shop or dealer. I come from from a family of 9 children I will definitely be sending them there as well as tell all my friend. Thank you Matt & thank you valvoline ! GREAT SERVICE!
