There's a sign in the office that says they strive to do one random act of kindness a day and I believe they live by that. They tell you when something is not worth fixing and when it is and what you can get by with and what you can't. I don't ever leave there feeling soaked even if its an expensive repair. The owner will even give you a ride home personally if you need to leave your car and have to take a cab. We have an 05, an 07, and a 2010 with a wide range in mileage. Wouldn't take our cars anywhere else!

This time I was charged another $103.98 (replace tie rod) only to drive away with a car that still vibrated (I even took the Asst. Mgr. for a ride so we could share the experience together.) So they refund me the $103.98, they say I need a new steering rack, and they'll do it at the discounted price of another $500. It didn't make sense to me that a steering rack could cause vibration, and when the manager sensed that I wasn't going to play this game anymore he became mean and told me to go somewhere else. So I went somewhere else--Google--where I learned that vibration can be caused by bad brake rotors. I spent $71.26 at a parts store for two new rotors and after a couple hours under the car I was driving around at 60mph with no vibration! It cost me $784.87--and if I hadn't smartened up in time over $1284.87 (because the new steering rack wouldn't have fixed it either)--to learn "Ithaca Midas is a money pit!"
