That sounds about right for Midas. And it is only reasonable if you 
don't want to do it yourself. I've had bad experiences with Midas 
though. I don't go to them anymore. Midas will sometimes fix things that 
don't need to be fixed. They are sales oriented. Did you talk to Midas 
over the phone, or did they actually look at your car?
