    Life will be a highway again for drivers in ten different communities across the country as Meineke welcomes local customers to experience its updated aesthetic and services.

    Owned and operated locally, the service bay doors are open for business once again to area customers in various key markets across the United States. The new owners and local residents now welcome their communities and commuters back to experience firsthand Meineke’s pledge: “Taking Care of Your Car Shouldn’t Take Over Your Life.”

    “Our loyal customers have always been committed to these ten locations and we hope to reaffirm the connection that we have with them by offering updated looks and a new collection of services,” said Jeff Todd, director of resale for Meineke Car Care Centers, Inc. “Each of these Meineke locations will now be able to better meet the car care needs of the communities they serve.”

    The updated shops offer a comprehensive line of car care services, from routine oil changes to extensive care repair. The locations include:
