Midas

Midas is a fast auto-service and light-repair network — servicing vehicles of all makes. From a historic muffler specialism it has grown into full quick service: electronic diagnostics, scheduled maintenance and servicing, tyres, brakes, batteries, air conditioning, timing belts, clutches, steering, and suspension. What sets it apart from a corner garage is a standardized, branded auto centre — transparent published prices, online booking and quotes, a uniform customer experience, and the group's buying power and fleet and insurer contracts. In Europe it is operated by a French automotive group.

As a franchisee you get the brand and a proven business format, catchment and competition analysis, site selection and centre layout to standards, structured initial training and ongoing education, central IT and management systems, central purchasing of parts and tyres at favorable terms plus access to fleet contracts, national and local marketing, and the support of zone managers. What stays on you is the capital and your own contribution, securing and fitting out the premises, hiring and leading technicians and staff, and the daily operation; you open a new centre or take over an existing one.
