If you got away with just $65 at Midas, you're lucky.  I've been to
Midas 2 times.  Both times the damage was over $200.  Both times they
had a sale on, and I was suckered in by the prices ... then they pulled
out the old "..the mufflers on sale won't fit your car!" routine.
This may have been true, but they saw that I didn't have the time to
shop around.  Well, twice a sucker - maybe; but never a third time.

Oh yes, they're brakes are over-priced, and really suck!
