What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Trust and transparency stand out as the qualities that recur most often in feedback about this Ballarat workshop, with customers describing a service experience built on clear explanations and honest recommendations rather than pressure to approve extra work. Reviewers often mention that jobs are completed on schedule and that vehicles feel transformed afterwards, whether the visit involved routine servicing, brake repairs or tyre and suspension work.

Sam, named in several accounts, is singled out for his courteous and informative manner at reception and over the phone, taking time to outline options before any work proceeds. An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the fairness of pricing, described as reasonable and competitive for the standard of work delivered. Communication before and after the job is another consistent theme, with staff keeping customers informed as repairs progress and answering questions thoroughly.

Several accounts highlight how quickly the team responds when a vehicle is needed urgently, including sourcing parts locally to avoid lengthy waits. Tidiness, professionalism and the friendliness of the whole crew round out the picture, with repeat customers returning over multiple years for servicing and mechanical repairs. Long-standing patrons describe a workshop they trust with ongoing maintenance, and the courtesy shown to everyone who walks in or calls ahead remains a defining feature of the experience.

I had a fantastic experience with Midas ballarat . It is rare to find a mechanic you can truly trust, but they were completely transparent about the repairs needed and didn’t try to upsell me on services I didn’t need. My car is running perfectly now. I’ll definitely be coming back for all my future maintenance!

I’ve had my car serviced here twice and now it’s the only place I’ll go to in Ballarat, all the staff I’ve dealt with have been bloody lovely! 10/10, would absolutely consider breaking something in my car on purpose just so I can take it in again before my next service.

The team at Midas Ballarat went over and beyond to try and fix my overheating issue, but sadly it was unsuccessful. Owning a Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland has its own issues, and not easy to work on.

Absolute scam artists. Go anywhere but here. I had 3 warning lights on my dashboard, two which would show sporadically. The owner of this store shut me down when I suggested it might be the grounding strap, which was a conclusion drawn after researching those warning lights. He rang me and said my spark plugs needed to be changed and I asked if he was sure that was the reason the lights on my dashboard were appearing. He said yes. So I agreed to having the work done. When I got the car back, all the lights were on once I left the store. I rang head office to explain that I don't trust the owner and would like a refund, as the work he did was not fit for purpose. It did not fix the dashboard lights. Head office didn't care and the owner rang me and said 'have toy seen your spark plugs'. I said that is irrelevant because they weren't the issue that was causing the dashboard lights to come on. He said he would run diagnostics and see what the codes are. I refused as he should have done that to begin with, rather than just guess what the problem is and do work outside of those codes. We are now heading to VCAT now and I standby my review. I wish I had of read the reviews before I put my trust in this business. I am now out of pocket $880, with a car that is still not fixed.
