About

Why Costa Oil – 10 Minute Oil Change™?

Costa Oil – 10 Minute Oil Change™ has a patented modular building that is designed for easy construction and easy maintenance. We finance the construction of our one and two bay kiosks through a third-party real estate partner and lease them directly to franchisees. This makes it easier, less expensive, and faster for franchisees to open their businesses.

Why an Oil Change Franchise?

As long as people drive cars, the oil change franchising business is a non-seasonal industry that will always be in demand. Quick lube automotive is an $8 billion industry with more than 230 million licensed drivers in the U.S. The average number of vehicles on the road continues to grow each year, which opens up great opportunities for oil change operators. And an oil change is a "need" item, not a "want" item, making the oil change industry a recession-resistant business category.

FRANCHISE APPROACH

Investment

The efficient modular unit reduces start-up costs and gets you into the oil change business fast. Engineering a profitable quick lube franchise operation was just as important to Costa Oil – 10 Minute Oil Change™ as developing an efficient stay-in-your car drive-thru operation.

Using a smaller footprint for the Costa Oil – 10 Minute Oil Change™ operation increases the number of possible sites available for development. Costa Oil™ has developed shopping center parking lots, service stations, car washes, and underutilized commercial property with success.
