- Year Acquired
- 2021
PE-backed Mavis now controls 3,500+ auto service locations, and settled with Georgia's AG over alleged deceptive repair practices.
What They Did
- BayPine and TSG Consumer Partners acquired Mavis in 2021, then added Midas in 2025 to create a 3,500+ location auto service chain
- The company has grown through rapid acquisitions of regional tire and brake chains across the country
- Georgia's Attorney General secured a settlement against Mavis over alleged unlawful and deceptive business practices
Since the Acquisition
- Georgia's AG alleged Mavis told customers their vehicles needed expensive repairs they didn't, billed used parts as new, and failed to deliver promised refunds. Mavis settled, paying restitution and $200,000 in civil penalties
- Nearly 1,600 BBB complaints filed in just three years, and the BBB publishes only one in five complaints it processes for the company
- One customer told Motor1 she authorized rear brake work only, then found technicians replacing the front brakes she had explicitly declined — with a bill near $1,300
