About The Company
Founded in 1956, today Midas has grown to over 2,100 locations worldwide. In the early days, we sold the best muffler on the market and it included a national warranty “for as long as you own your car.” This was unheard of and soon, other companies followed our lead. Fast forward to today. Vehicles consistently perform well even with more than 100,000 miles. Drivers are owning their vehicles longer and driving more. Fittingly, the Midas brand has evolved to that of total car care experts, offering a wide variety of maintenance and repair services to support customers in maintaining their vehicles for as long as possible.
