Hey there, time traveller!

Brandon’s Jiffy Lube is no more, with owner Dan Precourt shedding the brand in order to go independent under a new name, Lube 1.
Located at the southeast corner of Rosser Avenue’s intersection with 18th Street, the company started out by selling Pennzoil products before taking on Jiffy Lube in July 2014.
It was an “almost four-year experiment,” which Precourt said did not produce the kind of results they had hoped for.
“I think there are a lot more advantages for consumers with us as an independent than any one particular company,” he said.
“Now we’ll be able to carry a wider product offering, and more competitive pricing as well.”
By going independent, they’re able to diversify what they offer, using not only Pennzoil products but also Pacific 66 oil, which he said is a less expensive alternative that comes in at $39.99 for a basic oil change, which is $7 less than their basic rate under Jiffy Lube.
The oil change shop dropped the Jiffy Lube name on June 1 and is currently in the process of changing its signs out to represent their new Lube 1 name.
