Several auto repair brands made it onto this year’s Franchise Times Top 400 list, which was recently released. The annual list ranks the largest U.S. based franchise systems by global systemwide sales, following a five-month research and reporting phase.

Midas put out a press release highlighting their spot at no. 46 on the list, moving up five spots from last year and marking a breakthrough to the top 50. It also topped the auto repair category of the list.

“Last year, we rolled out our ‘Don’t Put Up With B.S.’ campaign—short for bad service. It’s all about putting customers first and showing that we’re serious about changing the way auto care should feel,” stated Lenny Valentino, president of Midas.

Christian Brothers Automotive followed at no. 92, moving up from no. 98 last year. It’s joined on the list by other general automotive repair brands including Meineke Car Care Centers at no. 113, Precision Tune Auto Care at no. 239, and Mr. Transmission at no. 386.
