Chicagoland Midas Dealers Host Fundraiser to Benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation(R) of Illinois

        COOKOUT FOR KIDS TO RAISE MONEY TO GRANT CHILDREN'S WISHES

  WHAT:   More than 40 Chicagoland Midas shops will share the power of a
          wish(R) with a free cookout to benefit children.  This one-day
          fundraiser will raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of
          Illinois, while helping motorists improve their vehicle's
          efficiency and maintain better gas mileage amid rising gas prices
          this season.  Every customer or individual who visits a Midas shop
          during the fundraiser will receive a FREE hamburger, chips and
          drink, and will have an opportunity to make a donation to the
          Make-A-Wish Foundation.

          The fundraiser is part of a national partnership between Midas and
          the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  As the summer driving season rounds
          the corner, Midas will donate $5 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for
          every Midas Touch(TM) Maintenance Package purchased now through
          June 28, 2008.  Midas plans to raise up to $400,000, with a
          guaranteed minimum of $350,000, to help grant children's wishes.

  WHY:    Chicagoland Midas dealers care about their customers and families
          in their communities.  The Cookout for Kids is a great opportunity
          for motorists to bring hope, strength and joy to courageous wish
          kids.

  WHEN:   Saturday, June 7, 2008    11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (or while
          supplies last)
