3 Years Ago:

I am the type who calls around to a lot of shops before I decide who to go with. A couple good friends referred us to the Midas guys here in Edmond, and we are as enthusiastic about them as our friends were. Good people, super-friendly, but not too slick; just down-to-earth, and their prices are good and the service is fast.



Today:

It's now June 2014, and we just took our car in for brake service. For front pads/rotors, we were quoted $245.73. Once my wife got there, she was treated brusquely. And the man said that rotors were $220.98 and pads were $159.70. So now they wanted $380 instead of $245. Oh, and they also gave me a very detailed description about how the back brakes were "metal-to-metal" and needed to be replaced: another $350+.



Midas guy was friendly, but when I think about what he actually said/did, I can't vouch for this shop's honesty. I wish he hadn't talked me into the $35 brake inspection when the brakes had just been inspected, and I already knew what was wrong with them. He said the $35 would be refunded if we had the car serviced with Midas--but I didn't know they would abruptly raise the price of their service $135.



So we're going to Precision Tune Auto Care just down the street, or maybe Kwik Kar.



Update: The other shop inspected our rear brakes and said they are fine. 30% pad left. No metal-to-metal.



Midas did e-mail me, but says they're right/I'm wrong. Maybe so, but they got their last $35 out of me.
