Had work done at Midas Darra? Warranty and bookings
If Midas Darra fitted parts or tyres that are still under warranty, or you had a booking there, contact Midas Australia directly. Any warranty on work Midas Darra did sits with Midas, not with us. Keep your old invoices, because they show what was fitted and when.
If you just need the car looked at now, we can inspect it and tell you whether the problem is a warranty matter worth taking up with Midas or a new repair.
Switching workshops from Midas Darra
Changing mechanics is simple. Bring your car's log book or service book if you have it, so we can see what was done and when. If you don't have the book, that's fine. We'll inspect the car and tell you what's due. We record everything in your car's history, so your next service picks up where the last one left off.
