The Lube Center, a prominent Maryland‐based quick
service group that is a division of WLR Automotive
Group, Inc., has become the newest distributor of
Mighty brand products that include
filtration, wipers, lighting products,
batteries, brake products, belts, shop supplies and
chemicals.
WLR has been headquartered in Frederick, Maryland
since 1987. The company operates 16
vehicle maintenance (The Lube Center), car wash
(The Auto Spa), and repair facilities (The Auto
Repair) around Maryland and Pennsylvania. They
serve more than 300,000 customers each year
and are committed to performing the highest quality
service and providing an exceptional
experience for their customers.
They were first place winners of the National Oil
& Lube News
“Best Looking Lube Contest” in 2003 and again in
2010. WLR is the fifth organization to add a
Mighty division to their quick lube
business.
According to WLR’s president, Randall S. Simpson,
"We are extremely excited to be part of the
Mighty team. When we first looked at the
opportunity of purchasing our own franchise almost
a
year ago it did not take long for us to realize the
benefits that we would experience internally as an
automotive organization and the additional profit
center it would give us as we obtained external
customers. We are extremely particular on the types
of companies we enter into a partnership
with due to the fact that we have very high
standards for how we operate and conduct
business. Mighty has met and exceeded our
expectations for entering a business relationship
with
them. I have been more than impressed with the
corporate structure Mighty has in place and their
support system is second‐to‐none. From my first trip
to Atlanta, to the recent signing of our
Franchise Agreement, there has been continuous
communication from Mighty team
members. Anytime we have had a question, or needed
any type of advice or support, there was
someone there for us. We look forward to a very
long and beneficial relationship with the Mighty
organization and are extremely proud to be part of
it."
