Midas and other muffler shop chain stores give quality dealerships and shops a bad name. I know a former manager of a quick lube and he said that they will do anything to meet a quota. Usually $45-60 dollars for every car they work on. Midas is even worse, they have a quota of $400-700 dollars for every car that pulls in the door. They will sell anything that the customer says ok to. Even if the car doesn't need anywork. I work at a dealership and we have to mention every potential problem on a car, even if it's under warranty. I would probably get fired if I or anyone else at my shop got caught trying to rip someone off. don't just say every mechanic is a crook or con-artist. you just have to find an honest mechanic and they will treat you right.
