Jiffy Lube Franchise

Oil-change service

The decline of full-service gas stations in the 1970s left many consumers without their traditional sources for oil changes. Jiffy Lube began under Jim Hindman in 1979 as an association of seven fast-lube centers in the western United States. Today the franchise is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pennzoil-Quaker State Co. and has locations nationwide.
