In August of 2006, Meineke, through its parent company Driven Brands, Inc. acquired Econo Lube N’ Tune, Inc.- a chain of nearly 200 quick lube and general repair service centers located throughout the southwest portion of the United States. Combining nearly 80 years of automotive and franchise leadership and nearly 1,100 locations, these brands have come together offering consumers and franchisees a quick lube center and complete car care center all under one roof. The Meineke Car Care and Econo Lube Co-Brand opportunity provides the ultimate business system in today’s automotive aftermarket. With the ability to provide a fast and convenient quick lube service and complete car care, our co-brand centers are able to meet and exceed the expectation of today’s customers. With Econo Lube driving car count and Meineke driving dollars, this truly is a winning franchise opportunity. Today CoBrand centers are demonstrating a 25% increase in same store sales from 2007 - 2008.
