The story of MIDAS
Founder's Vision
Founded in the United States in 1956, MIDAS built its global reputation on a revolutionary idea: to offer motorists professional maintenance services that are transparent in pricing and guaranteed in quality, regardless of the vehicle brand.
In Tunisia, Groupe Alliance (Alliance Car Repair - ACR) has taken up this mantle as the master franchisee.Their shared vision:to transplant Midas standards into a Tunisian market where motorists sorely lacked a reliable, transparent, multi-brand maintenance network. Since then, 7 centers have opened, primarily in partnership with oil companies (OLA Energy, Total Energies), and expansion continues actively.
Concept Values
• **Global Expertise**:70 years of know-how in multi-brand automotive maintenance across 4 continents
• **Transparency**:estimates provided before any intervention, no surprises at billing
• **Quality**:top-quality parts, technicians trained to Midas standards, guaranteed results
• **Network**:belonging to a global community of 2,800 centers, with all the support that entails
• **Trust**:a brand that motorists recognize and respect worldwide
Reason for franchise development
MIDAS is expanding in Tunisia through sub-franchising: Groupe Alliance (ACR) grants licenses to local entrepreneurs who open Midas Express centers. The strategy prioritizes partnerships with oil service stations, ensuring maximum visibility and a natural flow of customers.
The MIDAS Tunisia franchise offers:
• Access to an immediately credible and recognized global brand
• Comprehensive training in Midas techniques and network quality standards
• Parts supply through the Midas central hub (guaranteed quality, negotiated rates)
• Operational and commercial support from the master franchisee Groupe Alliance
