Midas takes great pride in offering former military members and first responders a fantastic veteran business opportunity. We understand many who have served our country are eager to find the right career to help with their transition back to civilian life. An automotive business opportunity like ours could be the perfect fit, thanks to the structure of our franchise model!

Our Midas franchise presents a great investment for veterans for various reasons, namely:

Our Initial Franchise Fee is Waived

Qualified veterans and first responders can have their $35,000 Midas franchise fee waived. We do this to show our appreciation for their sacrifice and service over the years. We also offer this discount to make your transition to civilian life more manageable. Over the years, many veterans and first responders have leveraged the Midas franchise investment discount to start a promising business in the auto repair industry with positive momentum.

If you’re a military veteran in search of an auto repair business for sale, you deserve to invest in one that makes you a priority. The Midas franchise opportunity has done exactly that for plenty of veterans before. Together, we can make your new civilian career a rewarding one for yourself, your staff, and the local communities you serve.

Our Auto Business Opportunity Allows Veterans to Engage Their Skills

At Midas, our veteran business ownership program aligns with the image our brand has maintained since we first opened over 60 years ago. Our locations provide a versatile set of skilled auto repairs that most car owners can’t easily find elsewhere. Military members are used to developing their skills and using them to better the communities that they are part of. Relative to franchise ownership, Midas recognizes certain valuable skills that veterans typically possess that can take them to the next level in their civilian careers, namely:

Leadership

Military training and experience have been known to positively impact the leadership qualities of service members. Now that you are returning to the civilian population, you can lead a new, skilled, and motivated team.

Problem-Solving

Our focus on customer attention matches the desire of most military members to solve “the problem at hand.” As part of our commitment to offering the best in customer service, our franchisees and staff members are expertly trained to ensure our customers are met with courtesy and offered a reasonable and knowledgeable solution to their issues.

Versatility

Military members and first responders are often equipped with the ability to adapt at a moment’s notice. As vehicle technology continues to update, this is something that can help your auto shop stay ahead of the competition.

The Midas team is also full of industry experts with years of experience. We have kept pace with the ever-changing needs of car owners and can help you do the same. Franchising with us will help you become a trusted “one-stop auto shop” for vehicles in need of repairs.

Communication

How you communicate with others plays a vital role in your chances of success, no matter the setting. Veterans often experience this firsthand and will want to ensure their business venture as civilians can maintain a sufficient level.

At Midas, our automotive franchise communicates regularly with franchisees to ensure they receive support as needed. The performance of individual Midas locations impacts our overall strength as a brand – motivating us to make you a priority. Also, we can assist in how you communicate with local drivers through our local marketing support. Your insight is valuable for customer outreach, as we recognize that you will know what customers in your area prefer from automotive service centers.
