Midway Auto Repair

Amir the mechanic is a cold-hearted rude man. Amir is also a liar. He would gaslight the people that gave him negative reviews against him to avoid a negative image of his business. He is the owner and the only worker that works at this auto repair. He is the rudest person I have ever met, let alone the rudest mechanic. He may respond back to this review in defensivenss, but if you look at the other people’s negative reviews on him, then many people can agree that this man is rude and mean. I had an oil change this year before driving for a roadtrip from CA Bay Area to states like South Dakota, Colorado, Oklahoma etc. which was like over 4,500 miles roundtrip, and wanted to make sure that my car is all set up in great condition. I do not want to break down in a secluded area. Amir gave me a complimentary tire rotation because of an unsuccessfull work he did in my car before (more on that later). I called him the next day after the oil change and tire rotation to make sure he torque wrench all my 4 tires when he did during the tire rotation, and he cussed me out, and was so mean to me and yelled at me and blamed me for his stress. I was to drive 4,500+ miles and just had 1 extra question for safety and he answered in a heartless way. Its not worth paying for his low-priced service and be talked down to, and I would rather pay a bit more money to another business who is not rude. Last year, I paid him over $300 for new struts to repair, and then about 6 weeks afterwards, those same struts; along with the coil spring broke off in the highway and stranded me during my CA Bay Area to Texas roadtrip. The whole ordeal and new repairs cost me over $600 to another mechanic. I lost trust in Amir after that and even doubt and wonder if he was really putting full synthetic oil that I paid for in my car or maybe its not full synthetic oil.

Rude rude rude owner. Zero customer service. I walked in with a Groupon for an oil change and I could tell the owner was upset that I was gonna use a Groupon. And he rudely said it will be an extra $26 on top of what I already payed online. I knew I didn’t want to do further business with his attitude. I asked him if I can cancel the Groupon and he said yes. I sat down to do that on my phone and he instantly said “you need to get out of here and leave my shop, I’m taking my lunch” it was 10am… He was so cold and mean that I didn’t say anything I know karma will take care of that. To respond to you: I absolutely did not have a joint hanging off my lip. Please learn some customer service skills. By your attitude I can tell you are not happy with the Groupon coupon that is available so please have it removed. Please learn “it’s not what you say but how you say it” and your delivery on letting me know I have to pay more was not informative but came off rude and how you instantly asked me to leave was like something I have never experienced. When was the last time a business asked you to leave instantly after taking a seat. Take a look in the mirror and start being more kind. I should have looked at the reviews before making my choice of walking into your business. I hope you self reflect and do better as a business owner.

I dont understand why Midway Auto Repair has such bad reviews. Ive had my car worked on at this place multiple times and its been a better job then other places where ive paid 4x more and theyve left caps off of my fluids. Ive never had a “rude” interaction with him either. Hes just very straight forward and there to work. Not everyone has to be an as* kisser to get the job done well. Support local business’ and stop trying to tear people down because youre having a bad day. I will def be going back and i highly recommend this place!

I originally came here with a Groupon for a full synthetic oil change and had no problems getting an appointment for the next day. I was pleased with the ease and convenience. I only had to wait 15-20 minutes to get back on the road. So I returned for my next oil change and the same man was there, gave me another easy and affordable oil change with no issues. He doesn’t spit jargon and make you feel dumb to upsell. This guy is legit. My friend told me he was paying twice as much for oil changes at a chain shop and was getting upsold on all kinds on unnecessary add ons. So I sent him to midway because it’s a no nonsense shop with the same guy each time who does fast, good work and doesn’t bs to charge more. My friend returned scratching his head as to why he’d been paying so much more for the same service and with no effort on customer service. Midway does it better and for less.

Incredibly rude on phone and in person. Answers saying he’s busy and he’ll call back but never calls back. DO NOT buy the Groupon for this shop. You still have to pay an additional $30 to get an oil change and they treat you terribly.
