Meineke Revs Up Salt Lake City with New Center Opening

New Location Continues Strong Nationwide Expansion Trend for Total Car Care Brand

June 22, 2018 // Franchising.com // SALT LAKE CITY - The chequered flag is waiving as Meineke’s opening in Salt Lake City signals a victorious moment for local drivers.

Owned and operated locally, the service bay doors are now open for business to area customers. Nathan Atherley and sibling duo Matthew and Lindsey Wood, local residents, welcome the community and commuters to experience firsthand Meineke’s pledge: “Taking Care of Your Car Shouldn’t Take Over Your Life.”

Situated at 395 South State St., the new location benefits from the brand’s customer loyalty and reputation as America’s trusted total car care partner. The shop offers a comprehensive line of car care services, from routine oil changes to extensive car repair. It is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“Trust is everything and no other car care brand has earned that with drivers more than Meineke. I am very proud to bring it to Salt Lake City,” said Nathan. “There is already so much excitement for the new center here that I can clearly see the need exists for a center with Meineke’s reputation. Plus, we’ve created rewarding job opportunities for car technicians.”

Nathan is a former Air Force Officer and venture capitalist, previously delivering technologies needed by the U.S. Government and large commercial enterprises. Matthew is formerly a tech executive and has driven growth for large tech companies such as Solera Networks, Fusion-IO, Bluecoat and Symantec. Nathan, Matthew and Lindsey have extensive experience building and leading high performing teams. Nathan focuses on finance and sales, while Matthew brings technical, legal and product leadership to the partnership. With a strong work ethic, Lindsey has been in retail management for her entire career and looks forward to developing and training associates within the business. All together, the three will be taking over an already established shop with the former owner staying on board for support.

“Nathan, Matthew, Lindsey and their team are sure to steer local drivers in the right direction when it comes to car care,” said Ed Pearson, vice president of franchise sales and development for Meineke Car Care Center, Inc. “We are confident that Nathan, Matthew, and Lindsey’s seasoned business skills will shine and make Meineke of Salt Lake City the new ultimate car repair center. They represent the ideal franchisees - savvy entrepreneurs that are ready to use their business expertise and the benefits of our franchise support system to push this location to be the best in town.”

Today, there are more than 900 locations currently open nationwide. The opening in Salt Lake City reflects the momentum behind the brand.
