The founders of Econo Lube N' Tune & Brakes in the early 1970's
were among the first to recognize the rapid decline in the
number of gasoline service stations that performed a complete
line of repairs and services. Since that time, there has been a
rapid decline in the number of "Service Stations." This market
shift represented a tremendous opportunity for Econo Lube N'
Tune & Brakes to provide the complete line of automotive repair
and maintenance services that car owners had relied on "Service
Stations" to perform up to that point. The founders created an
automotive service center concept, which incorporated the
convenience of the neighborhood service station together with a
sophisticated automotive repair facility. This facility was fully
capable to perform routine automotive services and maintenance
repair.
The Nation's first enclosed, drive-through, lube, oil and filter
change center was opened in 1973 in Anaheim, CA. The service
menu soon expanded in response to economic and consumer
needs to include brake repair, engine tune-ups, and other highly
valued and often needed services. On August 11, 2006, Driven
Brands, Inc., formerly Meineke Holding Co., acquired Econo Lube
N' Tune & Brakes.
