Midas Northgate Tyre & Auto Service

"The new owner Jack was great. I had the wrong part installed under the last owner and was causing issues. I didn't know this when I bought it back in and Jack was honest about what had happened and replaced for free. Great experience."

"Ask for quotes before authorising any work. Definitely do not trust urgency without seeing the part yourself. Booked in my 03 Prado for a service after discussing kms and age we agreed upon general items such as oils, filter and general checkover. Overall, service was friendly and straight forward. Unfortunately this is where the buck stops. My partner who is not mechanically inclined delivered the vehicle as I was at uni, on arrival she was told the vehicle was older than expected and would need a more intensive service. I then received a call about 2 hours later which I couldn't answer, my partner was contacted and asked to authorise, oils for diffs, transfer, gearbox (sealed unit from factory, not recommended to be serviced) that were made apparent to her to require urgent attention along with an AC fan belt that was cracking even though this was replaced when the AC system was overhauled under 5,000ks ago and rear pads and rotors. I was charged 1800 total with excessive markup (~$5-$10 on top of consumer retail) on parts that wasn't noticed until after I grew suspicious. Along with 7 hours labour when the car was only in the shop for 6.... On top of this the brake, coolant and power steering was overfilled causing brake fluid to leak over the engine bay. (Pictures below taken when the engine was cold after I noticed the brake fluid) Called the shop looking to gain some insight as to my invoice. Informed that labour is charged as a general charge per job rather than what is actually required to complete the work and that the markup is apart of their business model and that this is industry standard as such they wouldn't be willing to budge"

"Friendly, helpful staff & the tyres were well priced. Thanks to the boys for doing the extra bits & looking after me. Great service."

"Outstanding service. Chris and the boys did an amazing job, quickly. Chris went out of his way to offer advice about the tyres I should get, and I couldn’t be happier. They look epic fellas. Thank you! - Adam"
