I have a 98 Intrepid that needed an inspection. I took it to Firestone and they quoted me $2300 for repairs $800 of which were just to pass inspection. The car is only worth a couple thousand. Then I took it to Midas and all that it needed was a tire and wheel bearing. He mentioned the other tire just passed and a belt was squeaking that we may want replaced but don't have too. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! We had it inspected and replaced the two tires and the bearing. The cost was $430, half of which were the tires which is just normal upkeep for the car. I know that some repair shops work on commission and just ""find stuff to repair."" But this shop you can feel confident when you take your car in that they will be HONEST and repair only what should be repaired. The owner, Larry, not only seems honest but is honest. This is where our cars go from now on.
