This is an outstanding business. Management and mechanics have treated me with the upmost respect and dignity. I have been treated like a personal good friend by management. They have worked hard to provide me fast, very honest, and exceptional service. I would very highly recommend anyone to come here for all their car needs. Thank you Midas for all your support and taking great care of me over the years.

Took my car in this Saturday for an exhaust inspection, due to my 2003 Camry was getting louder. Don the Manager I spoke with on the phone prior suggested I come in for a free inspection. So, I did. Then the tech which I didn’t get his name, but he was awesome. He asked me to take a look at the exhaust and the old original thing had 4 rusted out holes including the muffler the size of a ½ dollar through the entire exhaust. He advised me of the most cost-effective repair and they had me out the door in just a bit over an hour, fixed. Best service and very thorough and effective repair. Nice to have a quiet vehicle again. Thanks, guys!

It is always a great experience at this shop. Don (the guy usually behind the counter), is highly professional, and has hired a great team.They always do excellent work, make sure youre aware of all steps taken in the process, and are very reliable.

These guys are amazing! Went to a different shop first and after the quote I received was outrageous, I decided to get a second opinion. Very happy I did! They looked at my vehicle and were able to give me a much more reasonable estimate for my exhaust repair. I will certainly be back for other repair needs!

After getting screwed over and taken advantage of at many shops in the area, I took a chance on Midas some years ago. I will never go back to another shop! I have NEVER had an issue with this Midas location or staff, and have been helped out numerous times here. Don is so kind and personable, I actually wait for my service to be done just to talk with him. He cares about his customers far beyond their vehicle and takes the time to get to really know his customers. I am beyond grateful in many ways for Midas, Don, and other staff!

I love coming here because of the manager Don! He is always straight up with me on my car and what it does or doesnt need. I can trust that I left my car somewhere where they are going to do a good job on whatever work I need.

I brought my CRV in for an oil change and alignment. I can’t say enough about how great everyone was at the shop! I have been other places where the sales are super pushy or try to take advantage of a woman but these guys were great!! They showed me how off my alignment was and now it’s prefect and I feel so much better driving with my family in the car. I will not be going anywhere else.

I spent over $1000 to fix a car only to learn on my own that is was out of oil. They never checked the oil! Obviously, I’d did not get my money back. Took a Toyota Prius into them, they worked on it and later stated that this car is not their expertise. I took it to Toyota and they stated that Midas screwed up my car. They found parts missing and things zip-tied together under the car.I like Don who works the desk but we have had numerous issues with poor quality and thousands lost. Will not be returning there.

Review №18

I was driving down the road when my car literally broke down and I had to pull in to the nearest safe spot. Luckily I pulled into Midas where they quickly diagnosed the problem as a shredded serpentine belt. Not only did they fix the belt but they took their time to look into any other issues that might have caused this. They also kept me informed and went out of their way to keep me calm as they could tell how stressed I was and how anxious I was getting about the time away from the work I had left to do and the possible costs of the total repairs.Liz was working the front desk and took time to stop and talk with me multiple times amidst their busy day dealing with other customers and simply just let me vent and shared some laughs and really helped me to calm down. Liz kept saying “We’ve got you… you’re in the right place …they are the best… and they will make sure to take care of the issue.”Unexpected car repairs are hard enough to deal with both in financial and time costs to our busy days but I seriously am so glad that I was in the right place when this happened.

This was our first time using the Crystal Lake Midas and was very impressed with the efficiency and professionalism. We have gone to different Midas locations for service in the past and were not pleased with the service we received which is why we tried the Crystal Lake location. Don who was in charge treated us very professionally and the exhaust service was done very quickly. Hands down the best Midas service shop we’ve been to. THANKS DON AND CREW!

I will never go to another company for auto work! Midas has consistently been professional, even through two moves to completely different areas. Theyre knowledgeable, and have never tried to provide a service that was unnecessary. Other companies just want to make an extra dollar. Midas has always been honest and considerate of my time and budget. Theyve always explained everything so I can understand them without feeling talked down to our inferior just because Im a woman. They go above and beyond and theyve got my business without fail for as long as Im driving. Huge thank you to Don at the Crystal Lake location for being so wonderful every time!!

Review №28

Have been bringing my 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander to Don at Midas for oil changes for a few years now. Always prompt, professional service at reasonable prices. Recently, I stepped it up a bit and asked Don to do a full inspection of the car and let me know what he saw. I was at 130k miles and needed to see how much was left in the tank. Don called me back about 30 minutes later and provided the details of his findings. Tires, brakes, filters but everything else looked good. Don never tried to oversell me and provided honest insight into what needed to be done to keep the car safe and operating at a high level. Even with the brakes, he told me I still had about 7k miles left of the fronts before they needed to be done. Could have easily told me they needed it now and I would have never known the difference. I know very little about car maintenance but Don never takes advantage of that, or looks down on me for it. I would trust Don with all of my vehicles and recommend you do the same.

I typically am not one to leave reviews, however, when service is exceptional, I feel there is a need to let people know just how amazing Midas in Crystal Lake is! Don, the manager is so professional and friendly as well as their entire staff! Thank you for always taking care of my cars needs from oil changes, brakes, tires or anything else that comes up. Midas in Crystal Lake will always be my go to and I highly recommend them to everyone!

I have been going to Midas in North Lake, Boling Brook and now I moved to Cary Illinois and have much respect for this company. I have been going to them for about 25 to 30 years and your people are always very friendly, and courteous and go the extra mile to help you. I trust Midas and know that they will be honest with me. Thank you for having such great people and a great company. Your Mgr at Crystal Lake takes great care of my car and that makes me feel safe. His name is Don.

Review №35

We’ve taken our cars to Midas in Crystal Lake for repairs and service for over 10 years now. We’ve never been disappointed. We’ve tried other repair shops in the past but none compare to Midas for their honest and friendly customer service and talented mechanics. I wouldn’t even think of taking our cars to the dealer or other repair shops in the area. Other repair shops are typically more expensive and don’t offer alternative ways of fixing things. At Midas they give you several options on how to repair your car while keeping your costs down. This is why we continually go back time and time again. It’s just rare to find these qualities in a repair shop these days. We always call on Don as the Midas shop in Crystal Lake. He takes care of all our family repairs and is super friendly and knowledgeable about cars!!

My customer-centric experience started with Becca and then manager Don took the experience into the end zone for the touchdown. This is the kind of team that America needs facing its customers.

The Crystal Lake Midas is the very best. I initially booked appt online after hours. Don called next day to verify in the morning. The car went in and was looked at in under 15min. The estimate was quick the parts were available. I was done in another 45 min. 30 min less than time estimated. Don showed me my muffler which had a hole the size of Texas! Boy was I lucky. This is second time they have taken a major repair and quickly diagnosed repaired and got me on my way. I have never experienced such excellent service. Don communicated well and kept me informed about my car. Thank you!

Review №45

I was initially skeptical because I like to give opportunities to small (mom and pop) businesses in my community. However, I didnt realize that Midas is a franchise (since educated myself on their business) and it is run with the home-town care of small business. The staff over at the Crystal Lake Midas is fantastic, for a few years now Ive been using them for various things that go wrong and maintenance of my autos.Don Ottesen, the manager there is both fair and candid when it comes to what you need to get your car fixed - and I REALLY appreciate that!!! I never write these things because life gets in the way but I wanted to make a point to let anyone who is on the fence know that the CL Midas is the best place. Heres why: Vehicle repairs cost, no matter what - but Ive always felt good about the money I spent there as they do a good job justifying and giving context as to what they did, why it costs what it did and how to keep my vehicles in shape afterward. It feels more like an investment, and its proven to be right over the years. Dons always trying to make it as affordable as possible, there is always oil change discounts in my email or snail mail to use.CL Midas has a customer in me for as long as they are around - Im not trying to shill for them, Im in sales and I appreciate service that goes above and beyond. Crystal Lake Midas is that place!

We had an exhaust leak in an older Explorer we’ve been putting off for a while. Called in early on a Saturday and talked with Don and he told us we can come right in. 1 hour later we’re out and the truck is as quiet as it was on day 1. Outstanding pricing and even better service. Thanks Don! Most definitely coming back.

Horrible service !! The guy at the front desk was so rude, (cause I came back...)I was getting my alignment done on my wifes car (Saturday)I called them (Monday,) the car had a problem and it would drive to the right, he said I have a problem with the tires... ( All 4 of my tires are new) I said No I didnt have that problem before alignment! He said I have a machine for $120K lol😂Back (Tuesday,) after I got it fixed -It was not fixed, I drove around on the streets and had to go back again, a 3rd time fix and was not fixed again, after 4th time yeaaahhh!!! was OK, but the guy from the front desk said He doesnt want to see me again with any off my cars, because he lost today a $100 !!Excuse me ????Yesterday I was with my car in Firestone, very friendly peoples and I have a warranty for alignment for 12000miles with no questions!!! Perfect service. Id recommend going there instead.

Review №69

Honest people, I will definitely come back to this place!!!! After being told from the car dealership that my hubby’s car had a crack on the exhaust and the replacement cost would cost over $1000, I wanted to check out other options for the repair. I ended up here...I spoke with Don, and was told to come right over! He took care of me right away, and had the car up & ready for inspection in no time!! A ridiculous comparison to the 2 hours of waiting at the dealership earlier that morning. To make matters worse, Don shows me the so called “damage”. Turns out there was NO crack on the exhaust whatsoever!!! It was in great condition!! Unbelievable!! And to think I was close to forking over the money for the repair. Thank goodness I didn’t!! So many thanks to Don and the people at Midas! I will not forget what you did for me and will pass the good word to anyone who will listen!

Although this Midas installer had no reviews on Tire Rack, I chose them as my installer based on past experience with other cars that Ive owned. I was not disappointed! Tires arrived at Midas the day after I ordered them. Received a prompt phone call from Don (the Manager) at Midas that afternoon and made an appointment for installation. Installation was performed promptly and flawlessly. The price also was very reasonable -- about $85 to balance and mount all four 60-series tires. Don was great -- highly responsive and respectful. I would not hesitate to use this Midas location again.
