Another really positive experience! The manager alerted me to an overdue NYS car inspection and added it to the visit, so no need to return for another appointment. This location is GREAT!
They thoroughly looked at my car and find any other service that I need to get. They were truthful about the replacement and they also gave me a reasonable recommendations.
I scheduled my appointment and they got my. At in at a good time period and was done in a good time. People r always knowledgeable and do good work. If I have questions they r answered and check on time was quick they r also friendly
I dropped off a car for inspection in the morning and it was done by noon. Appreciate the speed!
extreamly kind staff and professional works
I appreciated that they took the time to clearly explain all the work that was being suggested and why, along with some options based on what was most pressing. The quote was consistent and they were able to fit me in fairly quickly!
Very fast and excellent service
The attendant behind the counter was friendly and professional. The work was done quickly, surprisingly quickly. The shop seemed neat and orderly as did the waiting area. A pleasant experience from start to finish. Thank You!
They fit me in the day after I called and the service was done very quickly. The people who work there are also friendly.
The Team at the Ithaca Midas shop always provide me with excellent service. I trust them implicitly with the care of our vehicles.
The associates were very friendly and knowledgable. They took the time to walk me through what my options are for replacing a system in my car, including cost of parts, labor, and time.
Stopped in because car suddenly had all lights lit up on dashboard, which happened as I was driving into Ithaca. I was on way to pick up daughter at Cornell and had to drive three hours back home that day. Zach, service manager was great. Took me right away, sensing my urgency. He was able to get a new battery delivered right away and put it into my car. It could not have gone smoother.
Everything was explained. The photos were helpful.
Zach and Chris and the rest of the team are top notch. I trust them implicitly with the maintenance and repair of our vehicles.
For those waiting for there vehicle we should have some type of condiments or drinks while waiting.
Follow up as promised. Respond to calls and email. Don’t leave customer stranded. Either do or do not. There is no try.
The manager was so kind and friendly. There was a major storm that day and some systems were down. But he took amazing care of me and made sure things were taken care of. Everyone is always so helpful and kind. They take great care of their customers
My experience with midas was very positive, I went in for a NY state inspection and there was a complication with my tire but the associate was very clear and helpful with solutions to my problem
pricing was right and employees were engaging
Midas has been the exclusive service location for both of our vehicles for many years. I trust Josh and Chris and the rest of the staff to tell me the straight story and not upsell me on unneeded repairs. Their honesty, integrity, and automotive knowledge are the reasons we keep coming back to Midas.
People working there are so kind and the guy at the front desk is so clear and helpful with any questions and needs.
Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Answered questions with knowledge
Everyone at this shop is very friendly and willing to explain the work being done. This time it was an oil change, but I have used the Ithaca Midas before and they are great.
This was the second time I had my Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid serviced at Midas. The technicians are highly knowledgeable and most recently checked the vehicle over prior to a vacation trip and discovered a problem which they fixed. It is clear that they take pride in their work. Kudos!
I have been coming to this Midas shop for years because they are honest, reliable, and efficient. Cody, Zack, Chris, and the rest of the team are the best!
I have taken my vehicle to the Midas location on Elmira Rd in Ithaca for the past 8 years for everything- all oil changes and inspections, tires, and repairs. Jeff, Chris and all of the team have been 100% EVERY time.
Friendly staff! Explained in detail what they would inspect on my car. Took my vehicles in on-time with quick turn around!
Friendly staff, quick repairs
I have always been satisfied with Midas's service at the Ithaca NY location. Staff is always helpful and knowledgeable.
Online reservation was seamless. Service associates were friendly. Price was fair and less than expected. Great value.
I went in for an oil change which was done but they also checked my car for why it would not pass inspection. I got a detailed explanation on paper so I can take it to my dealer. They r so friendly and always a lot of help
Ease of scheduling, cost, helpfulness of the staff
After transactions with another area shop that left me feeling ripped off, made an appointment at this Midas location and now they have my business permanently. They are remarkably efficient, clear, and professional in their work and customer service every time I visit. From diagnosing a problem free of charge (and without an appointment) a couple of months ago to today's AC repair visit (which cost me dramatically less than I was quoted at that other place since the repair actually needed was not as extensive), highly recommended!
This was a weird visit- I usually really have a good experience… but this time I called to make an appointment and was told I would not need one. That was a first for this location - they always encourage me to schedule ahead of time. I dropped off my car and they said they’d call me when it was ready (in about an hour), so I walked down the street to get lunch. Over two hours later and no call from Midas, I just walked back and it was clear my car had been done for a while. When I got in to drive home, I see the reminder sticker is from Advanced Auto Parts, not Midas, so I think they just outsourced the oil change without asking of that was okay. The whole situation left a bad taste, it was just so different than my usual positive experience.
Allowing customers to source their own parts for those that can't afford the high mark up associated with shop prices.
We had a trip planned but found out in the morning that we had a loud muffler. Midas was the only shop able to get us in so we could still take our trip
I have taken all of my vehicles to the Ithaca Midas for years, and they always provide me with excellent customer service. I trust them, which is more than you can say for most of the other chain store repair shops.
I was extremely surprised by how quickly my vehicle was checked and my oil replaced. Everyone I spoke to was incredibly helpful and took the time to answer my questions and ease my concerns about my vehicle. I knew my car was in good hands!
I had an appointment to swap my snow tires for summer ones. I arrived 5 minutes early, checked in promptly, and the location was not inordinately busy. An hour and 45 minutes later, I was shown by an associate that I needed new brake rotors. I asked how long that would take, and was told about an hour and a half. 2.5 hours later, I was told they were putting my bagged wheels in the car. It took another 25 minutes before I received it back. The quality of work all seems to be great, but it felt exceptionally slow.
Employees shouldn’t try to lie to take advantage of customers. Went in for a simple oil change and ended up waiting 1 hr+ because my “air filters were very filthy.” They recommended I buy new ones. I agreed, but after texting my Father he let me know he checked my filters the week before and they were spotless. The worker also failed to tell me that they did not even have the filter for my car in stock so I waited over an hour. Upon learning my filter was clean and I was lied to, I let the worker know and that I did not want to pay for that ($70+ dollars for filters). I’m extremely disappointed and will recommend people to never go here.
Took my truck in for a power steering line replacement. Manager called back with an estmate of $ 619.00 plus tax, i told him to go ahead. When I went to pick up the truck the total was $719.00 , he said he forgot to add the fluid charge. That is B.S. !
Jeff in Elmira is great. He always communicates well and gets the team to complete jobs accurately and on time.
It was easy and the folks who worked there were informative and professional. I can't think of anything I would recommend for the location
It was very easy to make an appointment for my NYS inspection online. When I arrived all that was needed was for me to sign some papers and they took my car in right away. 20 minutes later they were done. My car passed, so that's always a good thing. There were a few issues with my car that were brought to my attention. There was no pressure to have what work that was needed to be done there. Just a friendly reminder.
Great service.The midas in ithaca ny is top notch!
Everything was done on schedule, and in a friendly manner
Jeff the service manager went over everything in detail,
Chris was able to get me in right away for a dead battery. The whole process took a hour or less and I was on my way. Thanks Chris
Everything was communicated clearly to me. They didn't try to upsell me on anything not needed. They helped save me money where we could. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I'm new to this area and needed a garage with guys I could trust. I found that in Midas.
I felt like I was understood and made informed decisions because my service manager went out if his way to help me and explained the possible options completely. He listened intently to my concerns and expectations. I cannot remember a time that I was this pleased with a vehicle service experience. 5 stars
They take my concerns about my car seriously and always make sure that all my questions are answered. They're the best! Always go above and beyond.
It was the typically good visit I normally have there.
Honest, friendly, and competent technicians.
Everyone was friendly quick service good customer service
Chris, the shop manager, was able to get me in quickly and replace the battery in my Honda CRV. He's done a lot of work on my 4 vehicles in the past and is always friendly and dependable.
Super friendly and helpful
Great service, repaired in a timely manner. Solid communication.
I called in a panic because my son lives in New York and I in Texas. He was in dire straights with his rear brakes, rotators and calipers needing to be completely replaced and you had an employee by the name of Chris. This young man by far met and exceeded expectations. He got my sons car right in the shop completed it and got it out asap. My son was able to use his vehicle to go to his job that next Monday. We will be returning and asking for Chris for his oil change and inspection. Your employee Chris was absolutely wonderful.
The staff provided me with helpful information about my vehicle. My visit was quick and inexpensive. I am confident about bringing my vehicle here in the future.
This Midas location in Ithaca is great! I always recommend it to all my friends.
Good service, timely, fair price. Detailed explanation before and after exhaust repair.
The appointment was surprisingly easy to schedule for the next morning. Jeff immediately understood my concern about mixed messages from different mechanics. He told me he’d check everything about the sway bar links and alignment and coolant levels before doing anything. He showed me the damaged sway bar link and proved that it needed replacing. He showed me the printout of the alignment check both before and after.
They did the job within the expected time
The staff, technicians, mechanics are great. Honest, reliable, quick.
My tire servicing was promptly carried out, and the cost was covered as I bought the tire at this location in March 2022.
This shop is very honest, and they do good work. Communication and explanations are very good.
Bit expensive but that’s not their fault. They’re always nice to me and I go for most of my services. Wish they were open on weekends
They took me in without an appointment, extremely important to me. Explained to me in detail what they were doing.
I have had excellent experiences with the employees at the Ithaca Midas during every visit in the past 6 years. I value and trust the expert advice of the technicians, mechanics, and front desk staff. They work hard, and they are friendly and honest. I have had both big and small jobs completed in a timely, professional manner.
Great service as always. Geoff and Chris always go above and beyond
They didn't screw around they got my car in there and told me exactly what needed to be done and then fixed it. The longest part of the whole situation was waiting for a part from a part store down the street.
Jeff and Chris and the crew at the Ithaca Midas are top notch! I have been bringing all of our vehicles to them for years. They are honest and trustworthy. I have recommended many family and friends to them as well.
Friendly staff and great service. I always get great on time service and everything is fully explained.
The service was fantastic well explained and very professionally done
Scheduling was easy, the wait wasn't too long, the associates were very friendly, they put air in my tires and checked for other things even though I was just getting an oil change.
Never have an issue if I need service. Stop in and drop off- pick up at the and of the day!! Perfect
staff was friendly, helpful, kind. He did not pressure but explained our options.
Explain in detail. Always be happy with the service.
The part was back-ordered and took additional day for completing the repair. Although it is not a big deal as the vehicle is ready on the early next day.
Convenient, thorough, completely satisfied.
Clear explanations of what was needed. The work was done quickly. Staff were friendly and polite.
Have been going there for several years now and see the same guys, no turnover means a lot.
Friendly people, fast service. Didn’t try to sell me something I didn’t need
I have trusted Jeff and Chris and the team at the Ithaca for many years to take care of my vehicles. They've always done an excellent job, they've been very honest with me about what needed to be done and what did not have to be done. They are always very professional and helpful, and I have recommended many friends and family to them over the years. I highly recommend the Midas team in Ithaca!
Kind and detailed service!
"The only thing this manager deserves is a 0 star, but that isn't an option. Jeff Forney has been scamming people in other areas for more than a decade, and I fear for anyone who trusts him with their car. Steer clear of this guy if at all possible."
The staff were incredible per usual. I always enjoy going to this MIDAS in Ithaca. They are transparent and fast. Never will go anywhere else.
Got me in quickly for needed brake work did good work. Explained and showed what was needed before doing work. Nice staff as well. Recommended - thanks!
Told me my ball joint was loose and needed replaced but they could do it that day. Found out later whatever part they had didn?t actually fit so they bent it to make it fit which made it rub up against my rotor.
I am very satisfied with the work performed by Midas. I was having a hard time finding a specific set of tires for my Tacoma and when I called Midas the positive sounding manager found a set in no time. He ordered them for me and we set up an appt for the

Thank you Midas! I will feel safe on the roads this winter!
"Love the place. I always go there. Great people, clean place, great service."
The representatives were very courteous. They explained everything in great detail before performing any maintenance. They explained the issues clearly so that I can make best decision for my car.
Thanks for the oil change and check up! See you in a few thousand miles!
I have been bringing both of my vehicles to this shop. They do good work and I have trust in them. I would of given 5 stars but when I got in my truck to leave I noticed 3 wheel covers on the floor. I went back in to tell them. I was told that the screws were damaged by whoever put them in last. I said that would be here. They denied. It saying they are new tires and they dont sell that brand. I said they are not new tires. The guy says they still have nubs on them. The tires are close to 3 ol
In and out. No hassles. No complaints

This midas shop has served us well- servicing our cars quickly and professionally. They do much more than brakes and mufflers!

Great experience. Appointment was made quickly over the phone...upbeat guy! Car was serviced immediately according to my appoint.
Midas in Ithaca is the only repair shop that I trust. Jeff and Pete and their team provide excellent customer service for our vehicles. I know that they will give me the straight story as to what needs to be done without trying to sell us unnecessary work.
Was very pleased with windshield wipers being replaced. Staff friendly and helpful
Great service on car and wonderful customer service! Thank you.
It was an expensive repair but done right.
Swiftly attended to and reasonable cost
Very good bunch of guys. They do very good work. I have no problem going there for service.
Midas in Ithaca NY does great work at a good price. Most importantly is that they are trustworthy
Very helpful , got me right in on Xmas eve eve & worked with me ...
I was able to make an appointment on short notice to the shop. They got me in and quickly performed the service so that I was out in about 27 minutes. I appreciate the way the shop works efficiently and keeps a smile all the while.
Great service very quickly!
Consistent & efficient! Thank you!

The guys at this Midas have always been nice, worked with me, and tried to be reasonable, and making good if they made a mistake. I take my car there for the basic maintenance stuff
I had my Honda towed there in December 2017 and I was working on getting the money to fix it and my mother ended up callin them and just stating we didn't want nothing to do with it and to just scrap it. I did not give permission to have it scrapped they d
I like using the Ithaca Midas shop. Their work is good at a good price. They also have online coupons to use. Most of all I have trust in them. Which is hard to find these days.
They lied to customers for changing well functioning parts in the cars in order to sell their expensive spare parts and poor service. Never trust the guys in Midas!!!
great service and good technicians
go for an oil change and they insisted to replace brake pad and rotor!
I?ve been using this midas location for almost 10 years and have never been disappointed. I trust them which says a lot. They are always kind and respectful. Willing to go out of their way to help you.

Consistently good Service and friendly staff.
They do very good work. Good bunch of guys
"Jeff and Chris were great, quick response, accurate estimate and work was done so fast! I reccomend midas in ithaca to everyone!"
They got it done in under 30 minutes AND they fixed my windshield wipers (washer-fluid hose came loose) without me even asking. I was very pleased, will be going there for my next service.
"As always, the Midas, Ithaca, NY was thorough and accommodating."
Thank for efficient and effective service.
"Chris is a great guy, very helpful. You got me right in and took care of my car. Thank you."
Thank you Midas! Timely and high quality service at a great price!
Only place I deal with. Not pushy and willing to work within a budget to get the vehicle safe.
It was excellent experience
I will return to this shop.
"First class people, first class serviceI always bring our vehicles to Midas and often recommend to others."
I would definitely recommend this Midas location! Jeff and Chris are very knowledgeable and also patient while listening to all my questions.they always do a great job in a timely manner for fair price!
You ask them questions and they give you honest answers. They're not trying to sell something you don't need. They explain what they believe your vehicle needs and why. And it's up to you to decide what gets done. They even prioritize the importance of

I was there for state inspection. They tried to fool me to replace all my brake pads and rotors, as well as new battery and some other small stuffs, and quoted more than $1000.
