Why Think About a Midas Auto Repair Franchise Investment?

February 27, 2023
Midas Automotive Franchise Tools

If you’re ready to make 2023 the year you go into business for yourself, a Midas auto repair franchise investment is something to give serious consideration to.

We’re industry leaders with a time-tested business model that’s been refined over six decades, which allows franchisees to take advantage of a recession-resistant market.

Keep reading to find out why now is the right time to become part of the Midas brand family.

You’ll Become Part of a Recession-Resistant Industry

All economies are subject to outside influences that affect them, for good and bad. So, as an investor, you’d like to think you’re part of an industry that is less vulnerable to economic downturns.

The good news is that a Midas franchise investment will position you as a leader in a recession-resistant industry, one of our time-tested business models that takes full advantage of!

What makes our industry so resilient? Well, think about it: Americans love their cars and have since the Model T was first introduced back in 1908! More than that, they need their vehicles to get to places — to work, to stores, to vacation destinations, and more.

In short, our cars are very much a part of our lives, and most of us can’t be without them, no matter what the economy is doing.

Having said that, over the last 20 years, the cost of both new and used cars has steadily risen. (1) In 2000, the average price of a new car was $21,850; in 2020, that price jumped to $38,723. The average cost of used cars, too, has increased by 17% between 2020 and 2021. (1)

Given these numbers, is it any wonder people are keeping their cars for as long as possible? The average driver now holds on to their car for just over 12 years, and that has meant real growth for the auto repair industry. (2)

It also means your Midas auto repair franchise investment will be a smart one because older cars need more upkeep and attention, and your Midas suite of services will be there for that!

We know how important it is for drivers to feel like they have access to reliable transportation, and they count on the Midas touch to keep their cars in top shape!

You’ll Become Part of a Trusted Brand Family

Americans trust the Midas Touch® and have been doing so for over six decades. With over 2,000 Midas-branded locations around the world, we’re truly a global brand that communities depend on to help keep cars safe, efficient, and fun to drive.

Our reputation for excellence precedes us, which means, as a Midas franchisee, you won’t have to spend nearly as much time establishing your reputation — that’s already been done!

When you don’t have to spend nearly as much energy on building your reputation, it leaves you with more time for what matters — taking care of your customers and growing your business.

You’ll Be in the Auto Repair Business for Yourself, Never by Yourself

Starting any small business by yourself can feel like a daunting and, at times, overwhelming process, especially if you’re new to an industry.
