Midas Auto Systems Experts opens seventh franchise in Des Moines region

Midas Auto Systems Experts, the 2015 Midas Dealer of the Year, is opening a new Midas location in Ankeny – its seventh Midas franchise in the Des Moines region – to meet the community’s growing demand for trusted, full-service auto repair facilities. The new Midas Ankeny store is located near Des Moines Area Community College at 295 SW Oralabor Road. “Midas has been a trusted partner in the Des Moines community for decades and we are excited to be expanding our service to accommodate the tremendous growth around Ankeny,” said Midas Auto Systems Experts President Alan Mahrt. “We want to offer all local residents an alternative to the dealerships that they can trust with their family’s vehicles.” Midas franchises provide total car care service, from general maintenance including oil changes, tires and filter replacement, to repair work on brakes, suspension, exhaust and more. All Des Moines Midas locations employ ASE-certified technicians, source quality parts and utilize the latest diagnostic technologies. The new Midas Ankeny store will offer customers complimentary shuttle service to and from their home or work while their vehicle is being serviced. The 5,500 square foot service center will employ seven full-time team members and features free customer Wi-Fi. Des Moines area Midas franchises participate in Midas Drive Out Hunger, which contributes one dollar of each oil change to local area food banks. Each dollar feeds up to five hungry people in the local community. Midas Ankeny is one of 39 employee-owned stores across Midas Auto Systems Experts’ franchise operations in Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. Midas Ankeny is open from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.  The phone number for the new store is 515-809-1705.
