I am editing my review because to my surprise, the inside of my car was vacuumed inside after a routine oil change and to be honest, I felt like "yeah, this is what I'm talking about." I was sketched out only once about an expensive issue here before, but I trust the staff that is here now in that the previous issue was resolved. So, I recommend people come here because they are honest and don't try to scam people unlike so many others.
This is the best car place I’ve been to!! They are always super quick with repairs and every service. They inform you without being pushy! They even stayed open past close to quickly replace my battery when needed!
STOP SEARCHING FOR AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND COME HERE TO MIDAS IN COLUMBIA HEIGHTS!! This place goes ABOVE AND BEYOND! I recently got an oil change and tire rotation. A couple days later noticed my tire had gone flat so I called to get pricing on new tire. I spoke to Shawn and explained the situation. He told me to bring the tire in and he'd take a look at it. He said that it may just need something minor like a valve stem. Bought the tire in and just like Shawn said it was the valve stem. He fixed it in less than 5 mins for free! I offered to pay but he said "No need, I'll take care of it. Just want to make sure that you are safe on the road, especially in this weather" What a guy! I always get great service here but this was beyond anything I ever expected! Thank you Shawn and thank you to the rest of the staff at Midas in Columbia Heights! You guys and gals are the absolute best !!
This Midas, the whole team there, has helped my old soul of a car (15 years old) more times than i'm proud to say. I have gotten a cat replacement, sparks, fixed shift linkage, and breaks with no issues, etc. There is no pressure, no extra fee's, and they definitely do their job making sure the things you need and stress about are taken care of. They have me as a forever customer. They are extremely fair and honest which is the exact thing you need nowadays. Thanks Midas
I over paid by around 300$. I should of walked out. Both gaskets cost about 50-70$. They charged me over 200$ for each. Impossible a gasket could cost that much. I called and text the owner, no reply from from that phone number.
These guys were awesome!! Had an issue with my wheel well hitting my tire and they got me in last minute and fixed it quickly and were so so kind!! Really turned my day around!
I LOVE that this place is locally owned and love the GREAT customer service I’ve received here even more. They have always been quick to get me in for whatever service I need, they’re honest, and do great work for a reasonable price! I know a lot of women hate going to mechanics alone because they’re worried about being lied to, etc. I’ve never once had to worry about that here and they don’t put pressure on you at all. 10/10 a great community business!
Highly recommend this shop! I was so grateful for the care, the information, how quick they resolved my issues. They were also very aware of not overcharging or adding more to my bill than necessary. They offered options of my car care based on necessity and my budget. I will take my vehicle here again and again and again. The team there is excellent.
Friendly staff! Shawn is very informational when needing questions answered. Clean environment and I appreciate the hydration options. Thanks for the great service.
Pricing was as expected for new tires, but service was the fastest I’ve ever received. Staff was friendly and there was no attempt to upsell me on anything I didn’t come in for.
Went to Midas for all new tires, they have a credit program that is very helpful. I put 4 tires on the card, paid in full within six months. There will be zero interest taken on. This Midas on central gets the job done and are courteous. The amount of time spent on your vehicle is on par with the industry. They installed and mounted the tires successfully, I am pleased.
Quick in and out for alignment my truck drives straight again. The shop is clean and organized, staff is knowledgeable and good to talk to. Highly recommend this location.
After the oil change was done there was a slight issue. My brother suddenly had minimal power. My brother brought the car back to see if they could diagnose the problem. It was a wire that had come loose. They found it, fixed it and didn't charge him anything!
Had an oil change about a month ago and asked for a thorough safety inspection as I was going to be doing a road trip. They were very informative with photos and descriptions on what was most important to get fixed and what could wait. Last night my window got stuck down, and today they helped me trouble shoot and we got it back up without even having to take the door apart or put the car in the shop. They are very helpful and I will continue to go back to them for oil changes and other miscellaneous things. I appreciate you guys!!!!
Midas did fix the collapsed brake line without charge which was nice but I lost another full day of work.
Guess I'm going to have to see.
Spent $1300 for front brakes and within 10 days the front brake was grabbing and smoking. The inconvenience of losing another day of work for a second visit isn't ideal. I'll have to see if they ask for additional money.
An outstanding experience! Got a same-day appointment, a full explanation of what was needed, a reasonable wait time, and an all around level of professional service. I strongly recommend Midas in Columbia Heights!!!!
I went to get an oil change and alignment about 6 months ago. The guy told me the alignment would be $400 right out of the gate because newer cars need to be calibrated with an alignment. The total for an oil change and an alignment with calibration would be over $600!!! I asked why I needed that because my car doesn't have lane departure warning features, side mirror car detection, or automatic braking but he insisted all newer cars required it! I didn't get the alignment, but ended up getting a free oil change for my next visit due to a promotion. After that visit, I called different places including the Ford dealership and specifically their service department to ask about the calibration needed for an alignment. To my surprise, I was met with laughter! The Ford mechanic had been there for years and only had to calibrate 1 car for an alignment. Even the receptionist was laughing because my car didn't even have those features. I'm glad I didn't fall for it! I got my free oil change and I'll never be back.
I keep forgetting to leave a review for this place, but it truly is amazing! After being betrayed by Bo and getting scammed, my friend recommended this shop to me, and I can’t express how happy I am now. Every time they provide a service, they take the time to drive my car to identify any issues. They even send me pictures while they work on it, which makes me feel very satisfied. I regret not discovering them sooner, and I really appreciate their service. Thank you!
I went to get an oil change a while back and they did a great job with the change. They also were very honest and gave me some upfront answers about what I needed to get looked at on my car and what could wait. I really appreciated that, it felt very customer first vs trying to get as much money from me at that visit as they could. I felt like I was treated well and with Integrity.
I changed the engine oil and had the front wheel alignment done. After the service, I had a few questions about the work that was done. The staff were very professional and, most importantly, friendly and considerate. Huge thanks to them for that!! Columbia Heights, MN
I recently got an oil change for the first time here and I will absolutely be back! I was able to book a time online easily and was in and out in a little under an hour. The staff were amazing and gave me a huge discount. They did a thorough inspection of the vehicle and made recommendations for future repairs (including photos and easy to understand explanations), but didn't pressure me to make a decision on the spot. The waiting room is comfortable with complimentary beverages and short little cute videos playing on the tv that entertained my toddler.
Amazing people! I had a 33x13.50r20 that I needed set on the bead and 2 tire shops weren’t able to seat it and discount tire turned me away without trying as they wanted me to buy a new tire! John was amazing! He got it on my wheel in 5 minutes and was great to deal with! Will definitely go here any time I need anything tire related!

Called in for a 5pm appt, flawless service both on the vehicle side and the customer service side, from the tech Cory Schintz at the desk. Very knowledgeable man, considerate of my time and willing to work with me and other customers while I was waiting to make this oil change the best possible experience I’ve ever had at any Midas, or any other shop period. Newly remodeled lobby with variety of snacks provided, went above and beyond to explain the difference in oil types, different style of tires and to make sure my vehicles needs were met and exceeded on and off the road. I was even running a few min late, and they had no issue helping me get settled in while they took care of everything. Seriously, thank you so much for some of the best service I’ve ever had anywhere!!! Car service or otherwise! 100% deserves a raise for his passion about cars and customer service!
My daughter has never had a problem here, so I tried it. First time they told me that a strut was bad and to take it to the shop that installed the struts. So I did and they found that it wasn't the strut it was a rusted motor mount! Shame on me. Second time, was several years later and with my husband's car. First I noticed when I was greeted at the door I was told to sit down while they do the inspection. A man who came in behind me was told to have a seat and help himself to beverages, coffee and something about what was playing on TV. Mildly irritating but it's a auto shop, and most are not known for being a female friendly. I brought the car in for an oil change and diagnose the rumble from the right front tire. Then the estimate comes out. Struts, sway bar link, tires and it's leaking oil so it needs to be degreased and a dye added to determine where the leak is coming from. Cost about $2500 in parts and labor. I had to pull money out of my 401k because I can't afford a car payment so I need to keep this car going. Two weeks later, I brought it in for the work. The degreasing was done as I was picking it up, and the mechanic said to me "it's probably leaking from the oil pan, or the block". Again mildly irritated because I've had a car with a cracked block, there were oil puddles under the car daily and I have nothing on my garage floor. I just nodded and left in the car. Oh wow, I knew those things needed to be done because now this car rides nice again. But when I turned right, again the rumbling noise. I figured it was wheel bearings or something like that. I brought it back and sure enough it was bearings needed to be repacked. That was repaired and it was mentioned that the leak was in the rack and pinion. He'd give me an estimate but I never got it. I didn't care, I knew I got the idiot woman deal. Three months later, the Service Engine Soon light came on. I took it down to Turbo Tim's and they did an inspection and sent me the pictures of the underneath the car. Seems bottom of the engine is still clean, no oil or blue dye anywhere. No leaks were found. Including rack and pinion. Stay away if you're female especially if you have gray hair.
