I've got a Honda and I don't let anyone else touch it but the Honda dealer. In the past I took it somewhere else and they messed up the oil pan and I had to pay $300 to have it replaced. I don't go to the cheap places anymore, it's not worth it.

After Midas changed the oil, we immediately noticed significant problems with the engine and ended up having to have it replaced. Midas led us to believe their insurance might cover at least some of this problem, but did not get an answer to us for over 6 weeks. Their final answer was that...

Great service. Made the appointment in advance and the service station was waiting for me. My car takes a synthetic oil so it is quite a bit more expensive than regular oil. The service folks are always friendly and leave the car in just as good, if not better, condition than when it was...

They are not the most prompt company. We waited for over a half an hour to get an oil changed. I also think that compared to other places they are a bit pricey.

Heating Oil questions, answered by experts

There are several common types of HVAC systems that you may have, including split systems, hybrid HVAC, duct-free systems, packaged heating and air, geothermal heating, or even portable units for heating or cooling. If you aren’t sure which type is in your home or are looking to install something different, you should consult an HVAC pro to determine which option is right for your heating and cooling needs.

HVAC systems usually last between 10 and 30 years, with most having a lifespan of around 20 years. Factors that impact a unit’s life expectancy include which brand you choose, how often you use it, and how well you maintain it. To make sure yours lasts as long as possible, make sure to keep it clean and schedule an annual service with an HVAC technician.

For most systems, an annual HVAC system service is more than enough. Some homeowners prefer a twice-a-year visit to ensure the system is ready for the upcoming summer and winter seasons. If you need to call an HVAC pro more often than this, it may be time to check if your system is getting old enough for a replacement.

While it's generally safe to stay in a home with a coolant leak if your home is properly ventilated, it's important to have a professional come out to assess the situation right away. You should evacuate your home if you notice any powerful fumes. Additionally, you should leave your home if you are experiencing headaches or dizziness.
