The 'Midas touch' is the ability to make money in situations or under conditions in which others would be unable to. It was originally a power given to King Midas, who did not fare so well: everything he touched turned to gold... including his food, his wine, and his daughter.

Midas is a car muffler franchise, they fix muffler and other problems. They do good work and guarantee their work. Everything they fix is as good as gold, I think. That is my guess, do you agree?

King midas had a golden touch, so whatever he touched turned to gold. Having a midas touch means that everything you touch turn good for you. Although king midas accidentally turned his daughter into gold, he managed to undo the spell.
