Midas in Grantville, San Diego, operates under Bureau of Automotive Repair registration ARD #271198 at 10445 Friars Road in the 92120 ZIP, staffing a multi-bay facility that covers brakes, oil changes, exhaust repair, tires, steering, suspension, wheel alignment, muffler service, transmission maintenance, and engine diagnostics. The franchise, part of a network founded in 1956, backs brake pads, shoes, mufflers, shocks, and struts with a Golden Guarantee limited lifetime warranty that remains valid as long as the original purchaser owns the vehicle. Customers whose vehicles require overnight brake or suspension work can arrange short-term transportation through Sensible Car Rental in College Area while the repair completes. Friars Road runs through the northern edge of Grantville, connecting Mission Valley to the residential corridors of Allied Gardens and San Carlos — a commuter artery that feeds traffic past the shop during morning and evening peaks. Tire inventory includes Michelin, BFGoodrich, Firestone, and Continental fitments for sedans, SUVs, trucks, and electric vehicles, with computerized wheel alignment performed on a four-sensor laser system calibrated to each manufacturer's camber, caster, and toe specifications. The shop provides bilingual service in English and Spanish, and every mechanic on staff performs oil change service covering conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic formulations up to five quarts. Every oil change visit includes a Midas Closer Look Vehicle Check that inspects brakes, battery terminals, belts, hoses, coolant level, and tire pressure. The Friars Road location sits adjacent to the Grantville Trolley station and the commercial cluster that includes big-box retailers and Soapy Joe's Car Wash on the same block, anchoring a one-stop corridor for vehicle maintenance. Exhaust service covers catalytic converter replacement, muffler welding and fabrication, resonator installation, flex-pipe repair, and oxygen sensor replacement — work that must meet California Air Resources Board emissions standards enforced through the BAR smog-check program. The location is a three-mile drive west of SDSU on Friars Road, and the shop's scope as a full-service auto repair center means most brake, tire, and drivetrain jobs finish the same business day they start.
