Express Oil Change

Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers is a well-established provider of automotive maintenance and repair services, with a focus on quick oil changes, tire sales, and a comprehensive range of mechanical repairs. The company began in 1979 as a single shop in Birmingham, Alabama, founded to deliver fast, dependable oil changes for busy drivers. Over the years, it steadily expanded across the Southeastern United States, earning a reputation for efficiency and reliable service.

A notable milestone came in 2013 when Express Oil Change acquired Tire Engineers, broadening its capabilities and evolving its brand identity to reflect a wider range of services. In 2018, the company merged with Mavis Tire Express Services Corp., forming one of the country’s largest independent auto service chains. This partnership has allowed Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers to accelerate its growth, especially in high-demand Sun Belt markets.

As of November 2025, the company operates more than 300 locations across 19 states, with a strong footprint in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and the Carolinas. Recent years have seen a particular emphasis on expanding in Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Florida, through both new store development and strategic acquisitions. The brand continues to prioritize freestanding sites with prominent retail visibility and convenient access, making it a sought-after tenant for a range of retail and mixed-use properties.

Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers maintains a robust franchise program and benefits from the resources and scale of its parent company. Its ongoing expansion and established credibility make it a consistent presence in both established and emerging markets, offering landlords, brokers, and developers a stable and growth-oriented tenant.
