Capital, M&A & Real Estate Advisory for Quick Lube Operators

The quick lube sector remains one of the most active and attractive segments in the automotive aftermarket—drawing sustained interest from private equity groups, franchise consolidators, and strategic operators. Successfully executing a transaction requires more than identifying a buyer; it requires disciplined capital planning, thoughtful real estate strategy, and an advisor who understands how all three intersect.

🟡 Identification and screening of qualified strategic and financial buyers
🟡 Deal structuring aligned with ownership, capital, and tax objectives
🟡 Real estate strategy including owned property valuation and lease alignment
