"I had taken my car to Midas because the car squeeks. Work done were: <br /> Brake pad (front), disc brake rotor (front), align/bal/rotate, oil change and brake flush. Total cost $787.40. After driving the car for a day, the squeek came back and the brake felt loose. I decided that I can live with that. However, a new problem developed. My engine light came on. I decided to take the car back to Midas and ask them to fix the engine light problem and while they're at it, see why the squeek is still present and check on the loose brake. <br /> Midas kept my car overnight. I had to call them the next day to find out what's the problem. An hour later they returned my call. Diagnosis: They can't fix my engine light problem but I need the rear brake fix for an estimated cost of $600.00+ <br /> I went online. Checked Angie's List. Picked up my car from Midas and drove straight to Kaimuki Auto Repair. <br /> Mr. Nakamura (the owner) patiently heard my story. Decided to check for the squeek and light problem by driving the car. Well, no squeek and no light indicator appeared. His advise was and quot;Take your car home and if the engine light comes back, bring the car in.and quot; I drove the car from Kaimuki to Hawaii Kai and back. No engine light problem. Later in the day, I drove about 2 miles on the freeway and the light came back on. <br /> I took my car back to Mr. Nakamura. They later called to let me know that I do have a problem with my heating/cooling system. That the parts will be from the dealer and it will be expensive. I knew about the parts cost and that was to be expected. What was totally unexpected was their labor cost. I had expected to pay as much or more than the cost for the parts. Labor was inexpensive, approximately a third of the replaced parts. I'm a very happy customer. <br />"
