Need Automotive Lubricants for Your Quick Lube? We Can Help!
Across the United States, there are nearly 30,000 quick lube stations, employing almost 73,000 people. Neither of these numbers seems likely to go down for the foreseeable future as fewer and fewer Americans handle their own auto maintenance, and more and more turn to the convenience and fast service of their local quick lube.
With the right team and the right equipment, your quick lube is well on its way to success, but you still need one more thing to ensure that your business remains growing and profitable: the right lubricant supplier.
Whether you’re just starting in the quick lube industry or are looking to make your existing operation more efficient, Walthall Oil is ready to provide you with the automotive lubricants and fluids you need to keep your customers’ vehicles running smoothly.
Quick Lubes Need a Lot of Oil
There shouldn’t be much question as to which product class your quick lube station goes through the most of: motor oil. After all, that’s the entire reason quick lubes exist in the first place – to provide fast, easy oil changes for customers on the go. As such, your operation requires a variety of both bulk and packaged motor and engine oils.
Bulk Motor Oil and Engine Oil
Most cars on the road today operate on one of a few standard oil weights. Keeping the most common motor and engine oils on hand in bulk dramatically reduces your overhead by unlocking wholesale pricing. Partnering with a full-service lubricant provider like Walthall also simplifies your operations.
Your Walthall team will work with you to streamline the ordering process. With tank monitoring for our customers’ bulk oil tanks, we can provide as-needed deliveries of frequently used crankcase lubricants without you needing to place an order at all!
Packaged Motor Oil and Engine Oil
You’ll notice we said most cars in the section above. That still leaves a large number of vehicles on the road that require oils outside the standard bulk oil selection of most quick lubes. Exotics, classics, and even some common late-model cars can require specific lubricants that it doesn’t make sense to keep on hand in bulk.
Walthall offers the full line of Mobil motor and engine oils, from traditional petroleum-based oil to today’s most cutting-edge synthetics. Our exclusive PureTeck automotive lubricants provide exceptional performance at a lower price point.
Regardless of your packaged lube needs, our warehouses across the Southeast are stocked and ready to fill your shelves with the motor and engine oil you need.
Quick Lubes Need Transmission Fluid, Gear Oil, and Grease
While quick lubes are known for quick oil changes, they also provide a number of other automotive lubrication services. Walthall Oil’s automotive offerings don’t stop at the engine’s rear seal—we provide lubricants for the vehicle’s entire drive train and other moving parts.
Transmission Fluids
Today’s high-precision, highly efficient transmissions require clean, clear transmission fluid both to lubricate the moving parts and to transfer power from the transmission’s actuators to the drivetrain itself. Each transmission requires a special category of fluid, and we’re proud to offer a complete selection of Mobil and PureTeck automatic and manual transmission fluids.
Gear Oil
If your shop provides service for rear differentials and transfer cases, you use gallons of gear oil every day. Whether your customers need a transfer case flush on their 4×4 Jeep or heavy-duty differential lube for a heavy truck, we can provide the products you need to provide them with the service they expect.
Grease
Sure, many cars now feature nylon bushings, sealed bearings, and other technologies that reduce the need for grease, but so long as there are wheels and axles, there will always be a zerk fitting that needs an injection of heavy lubricant. Walthall offers bulk and case-pack grease in a wide variety of weights and compositions to meet any need.
Quick Lubes Need Other Fluids, Too
Not everything at a quick lube necessarily involves lubrication. From topping off the coolant/antifreeze in a customer’s radiator to refilling their windshield washer reservoir, there are dozens of other products from our selection that can help your quick lube provide fast, comprehensive maintenance for your customers’ vehicles.
