Kwik Kar Oil Change & Auto Care Unveils Nationwide Franchise Opportunity

In a recent press release, Kwik Kar Oil Change & Auto Care announced that it is offering franchise opportunities nationwide as it looks to expand beyond Texas.

Founded as Kwik Industries by Ray Ellis in 1964, the company initially specialized in car washes before entering the fast oil change market in 1984. The Kwik Kar brand was then acquired by FullSpeed Automotive in 2022, joining other FullSpeed brands including Grease Monkey and SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service.

Currently, the brand operates 240 locations in Texas and has recently experienced record sales growth. Now, Kwik Kar is looking to take on franchisees from across the country, with plans to open 50 franchised locations nationwide over the next five years.

FullSpeed Automotive President Ron Stilwell said that many have expressed interest in opening their own Kwik Kar locations, leading to the company developing a nationwide franchise model. Kwik Kar Oil Change & Auto Care is now encouraging qualified and engaged individuals interested in single, multi-unit, and conversion opportunities to reach out about franchising opportunities.

“We've had a lot of interest from eager entrepreneurs, which presented a perfect
opportunity to enter the franchise landscape with a full automotive service model that also does oil changes,” explained Stilwell. “We've been working hard to make sure Kwik Kar is in an ideal position to grow outside of the Dallas, Texas area, and we are ready to start expanding nationwide.”
