New Location Continues Strong North American Expansion Trend for Total Car Care Brand
The chequered flag is waiving as Meineke’s three openings in Ontario signal a victorious moment for local drivers.
Owned and operated locally, the service bay doors are now open for business to area customers. Oscar Edlgey, a local resident, welcomes the community and commuters to experience firsthand Meineke’s pledge: “Taking Care of Your Car Shouldn’t Take Over Your Life.”
The new car care centers in Ontario are situated at 2656 St. Joseph Blvd in Orleans; at 36 Edgewater St. in Kanata; and at 1992 Robertson Road in Nepean. With each new location benefiting from the brand’s customer loyalty and reputation as America’s trusted total car care partner, the shops offer a comprehensive line of car care services, from routine oil changes to extensive car repair. They are open Monday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
“Trust is everything and no other car care brand has earned that with drivers more than Meineke. I am very proud to open these locations in Ontario,” said Edlgey. “There is already so much excitement for the new centers in Orleans, Kanata and Nepean that I can clearly see the need exists for a center with Meineke’s reputation. Plus, we’ve created rewarding job opportunities for car technicians.”
“Oscar and his team are sure to steer local drivers in the right direction when it comes to car care,” said Ed Pearson, vice president of franchise sales and development for Meineke Car Care Center, Inc. “We are confident that Oscar’s seasoned business skills will shine and make Meineke of Orleans, Kanata and Nepean the ultimate car repair centers.
