I live in Seattle, I have been to so many garages in town trying to solve Idle issue of Dodge Pickup as well as rearend grinding.....Two garages later and over $4000 I have replaced rearend and Idle is still not normal (engine dies if I don't keep foot on gas.....I finally head east to Factoria, to find Midas Factoria, they took rear apart and checked it all out...fluids and examination find all clear but questioned fluids used at other garages....They fixed the grinding sound and the Idle was a chore as well but all repair done! The cars of today are a nightmare to work on..parts are pricey but labor is high because of all the parts that need removal to get things replaced or adjusted.....all garages have same basic books per hour/time and repair estimate, its what they do with it is why you may find a garage elsewhere so pricey, and dealers will really send out over the top....These men and women at Midas are doing a job that you would not want to attempt at home...they will repair and will eye ball other situations that need attention, and all garages should. Brake jobs are no longer just replace pads, engine tuneup is not just replacing spark plugs...if you question price of work or mechanics opinion go grab a Chiltons repair book on your car and see what a mess you would face...you need a degree to figure these car repairs of today..Love ya Midas Factoria!!
