Friend's daughter is new to Waco. Her Toyota Matrix won't start. It's sitting in a parking lot at Baylor.

Any recs for a garage/mechanic?

Thanks

Midas on Waco Dr...the owner is Eric Murry and he started working there probably 15+ years ago. Two of his crew at least that long...when Eric had the chance to buy it a couple of years ago he did.

The old owner set the standard and taught Eric the right way...top notch, dependable HONEST work done. Midas is the only place we take our cars.

Tell this girl to tell them Dwight's wife sent her. Christine, Jeff or Eric usually answer the phone.

Appreciate the recommendation, Mom

Hey, I know what it's like to have a daughter with car problems 100 miles away!!!

One December her car was loaded to come home and then wouldn't start! She tried several times and the key did nothing but unlock the steering wheel. Her dad took off work, we rented a trailer and drove to A&M to load her car and the blasted thing started! We had lunch and headed out and the brake on a rear wheel of the rented trailer locked! Talk about a pain in the rear.

Another time her car(different one) was in the parking garage and wouldn't start. She had left the interior light on and inside the garage couldn't tell. Of course we discovered that AFTER we replaced the battery.

Another time she was in FHK and loaded her Ford Ranger for the weekend trip home and it wouldn't start. It was sitting in 30 minute parking by D-G and got a ticket. She called back that it was coming a flood. Her dad decided he wanted to check the car that night so we and her siblings drove to A&M and the bed of her truck was completely filled with rain water, yes her bed liner really did line the bed!!! Of course it was too dark to see anything so we were going to push the truck...not with a gozillion gallons of rain water in it........................on and on through two other students and their vehicles.

I have heard good things about Midas as well as far as being fair & honest.

Surprised me for a shop like that.

As soon as my cars are out of warranty they go to Midas.

I've been taking my cars there for years. Eric and Christine are great. I consider Richard my personal mechanic. Sometimes they don't even charge me for something minor. I highly recommend them!
