Five Actions for Lube Center Operators to Consider

1. Embrace Specialty Products & Services

"Recent statistics indicate 80 to 100 percent of all fast lubes now offer their customers niche products such as synthetic, synthetic blend and high-mileage motor oils." -taken from the article,  Five Actions for Lube Center Operators to Consider

 

"Premium Oils" allow you to offer your customers what they want in the way of performance motor oil and allow you to increase your LOF profit margin.  Are you offering and promoting premium oils to your customers?

2. Use Management Systems

"To be perfectly honest, if you are not currently using or planning to purchase one of the many fine management systems available on the market you are wasting your money and will be at a competitive disadvantage with other service providers.  Basically, be sophisticated in the way you approach your business or be gone". 

 

"Better business practices such as state-of-the-art inventory and management software programs are not a luxury anymore, they're a necessity.  Working "smart" will not only improve your bottom line, it may help improve the overall appeal of your business..."  

 

3. Integrate Services for Better Profitability

"Just as you expand the fast lube service menu to appeal to changing customer tastes, so too do you need to look outside the oil bay (and the LOF) to consider ways to make your business viable to a buying public  ...that values the convenience of getting an oil change, car wash, a hot cup of coffee and quick bite to eat - all within 30 minutes!"

Know Thy Customer (and thy stuff)

"It is an utmost priority you treat your under-30 customers with a high level of respect.  Not only should you take the time to educate them on their vehicle maintenance needs (much as you would do with female customers), but make sure you and your staff are doing everything you can do to earn their trust."

Help your customers save fuel.

Check & Replace Air Filters Regularly


Replacing a clogged air filter can improve your car's gas mileage by as much as 10 percent. Your car's air filter keeps impurities from damaging the inside of your engine. Not only will replacing a dirty air filter save gas, it will protect your engine.

 

Fuel Economy Benefit:

up to 10%

 

Equivalent Gasoline Savings:

up to $0.30/gallon

Other Fuel Saving Tips:
Keep Tires Properly Inflated

Sample tire pressure label

You can improve your gas mileage by around 3.3 percent by keeping your tires inflated to the proper pressure. Under-inflated tires can lower gas mileage by 0.4 percent for every 1 psi drop in pressure of all four tires. Properly inflated tires are safer and last longer.

 

 

Fuel Economy Benefit:

up to 3%

 

Equivalent Gasoline Savings:

up to $0.09/gallon


Use the Recommended Grade of Motor Oil

API energy conservation labelYou can improve your gas mileage by 1-2 percent by using the manufacturer's recommended grade of motor oil. For example, using 10W-30 motor oil in an engine designed to use 5W-30 can lower your gas mileage by 1-2 percent. Using 5W-30 in an engine designed for 5W-20 can lower your gas mileage by 1-1.5 percent. Also, look for motor oil that says "Energy Conserving" on the API performance symbol to be sure it contains friction-reducing additives.

 

Fuel Economy Benefit:

1-2%

 

Equivalent Gasoline Savings:

$0.03-$0.06/gallon

 

 

Note: Cost savings are based on an assumed fuel price of $3.00/gallon.
