Lube City Head Office is located in Edmonton. All management and administrative functions are done out of Head Office for Edmonton and Calgary. Lube City Express Oil Change is an equal opportunity employer, with approximately 200 employees. We offer above industry average wages, health and dental plans; therefore are fortunate to have many long-term employees.
Lube City is AMA Alberta Motor Association approved. We are also an AMA Battery Replacement Centre. We’re fully computerized at all locations with state-of-the-art equipment that allows all stores to communicate with each other as well as a Central System located at Head Office. Lube City Express Oil Change is very environmentally conscious, and has been the leader in the industry for the recycling of used oil, filters, cardboard etc.
All Lube City Express Oil Change’s are corporate stores that are privately owned and operated. We are a growing company that is aggressively seeking new locations for expansion. We have now started franchising both new and select existing locations and we are presently taking working business partners in certain locations.
