Midas Bredasdorp encapsulates the Brand’s personality of being able to purchase quality products at competitive prices while providing a consistent, helpful, and friendly service.
The core of the Midas identity is to be the local brand of choice and the leading provider of automobile spares and accessories in the community. A retail store designed around the needs of any vehicle owner, focusing on various product ranges, from motor parts through to lifestyle equipment.
“There are many benefits to belonging to the Midas Franchise. Perhaps the first must be that we have a “Big Daddy” looking after our interests. The work that Midas Head Office does behind the scenes procuring the best stock at competitive prices, the national advertising and the marketing support, all combine to make this partnership a valuable and a progressive one” says Peter Borgstrom, owner of Swellendam and Bredasdorp Midas.
Peter has not always been an aftermarket guy. He has an accounting background and spent the first 20 years working for a French Pharmaceutical Company. But he felt he needed a change. “In a moment of madness, I bought a Cape Town based panel beating business. The differences in these two industries was startling to say the least and it took me quite some years to get used the motor industry, “explains Peter.
The panel shop flourished and was eventually sold allowing Peter to ‘retire’ to his home on the Breede River. “Being scared of total retirement, I decided that a small franchised based business in Swellendam, which I could visit once or twice a week, would keep me out of harms way.”Peter Borgstrom purchased Swellendam Midas in March 2004. It was already part of the Midas family at the time. As any business owner will tell you, you are only as good as the people you employ.
Peter speaks highly of general manager , Barry Saaiman.Barry joined the existing 2 man team in Swellendam in May 2004. By September 2004, Swellendam team grew to 4 members.
Once Swellendam shop was nicely on its way, they opened Bredasdorp Midas in March 2008. Over the years Swellendam and Bredasdorp Midas grew into, two well oiled machines, respected by suppliers and customers. The company employs 17 staff members, and we pride ourselves that most of the ladies who joined as juniors, are now some of our best counter staff.
Both shops on separate occasions have been named Western Cape Franchise of the year, a proud achievement. So why does the Midas Franchise model work, being allowed to run our business within the Midas frame (but with our own personal input) means that we can adapt the marketing strategies to suit our market. Markets change from place to place.
What sells in Swellendam, doesn’t necessarily do well in Bredasdorp. Knowing our individual markets means that using the Midas Franchise Model gives us maximum flexibility within the Midas Framework. The sales team of Swellendam and Bredasdorp Midas strive to deliver a high quality service to there customers, in a hope that they will return for another great shopping experience.
With our core values of Family, Entrepreneurship, and Customer at the center of everything we do; Midas Bredasdorp is designed around the needs of any vehicle owner, focused on automotive parts and accessories through to lifestyle equipment. Passionate about the brand, family, our customers, all for the love of cars.
Bredasdorp
Success on the road doesn’t just happen—it’s built piece by piece. In the auto parts and accessories industry, hard work is the engine that drives progress, ensuring every bolt is tightened, every part fits perfectly, and every vehicle runs smoothly. Excellence is earned, not given.
Always deliver more than expected, customer service shouldn’t just be a department, it should be entrenched in every area of the business. Instead of focusing on the competition, let’s focus on the customer, how can we help them solve their problems? As Winston Churchill says; Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. It is courage that counts. Courage to do what is right for our customers.
The most unprofitable item ever manufactured is an excuse. We don’t make excuses, we find solutions for our customers. We are serving customers, not a life sentence we need to enjoy our work – service, is not what you do, but who you are! If you are not taking care of your customer, your competitor will – our customers are at the center of what we do.
