Midas Ridgeland

My son goes to college in Mississippi and drives a 1997 Blue Camry stick shift with 140,000 miles on it that he notoriously doesn't have time to take care of. Whenever I come to the area, I have it checked out by Mike Garletts, the manager, who is always helpful and honest. I have had oil changes, brakes, muffler, and a timing belt and recently front end work. He always explains what is needed and even apologizes for the cost. I am fairly knowledgeable about car problems, having owned many cars plagued with numerous ills. On the occasions that I have driven my car (2004 Red Corolla) to Jackson from Long Island, I have had it checked out by them for the return trip. I don't know if their mechanics are certified or if they are near public transportation, but I do know that they do a good job and treat me and all others I have seen enter their establishment with respect. They don't suggest anything that isn't necessary. I have consistently been impressed with their service. I typically don't use large chain businesses (I especially like to eat at local restaurants- I digress), but this is an outstanding exception. It is a family owned franchise with two other locations, in Jackson and Pearl Mississippi.
