Vehicle owners who claim they were cheated by the two Midas service centers could get money back from a $50,000 consumer relief fund.
Carol Ann Alaimo Two Midas vehicle repair shops in Tucson have agreed to pay $50,000 to create a consumer relief fund after a sting by the Arizona Attorney General's Office found evidence of fraudulent business practices.
"Auto repair shops must adhere to Arizona’s laws requiring honest business practices," Attorney General Mark Brnovich said in an Aug. 17 news release announcing the settlement. Consumers who believe they were defrauded at either site have until Sept. 15 to file a claim for financial relief. The Valencia Road shop charged a state investigator around $400 for unnecessary work including spark plug replacement, a three-part fuel system service kit and throttle body service that was not performed.
