EZ Lube History

EZ Lube was founded in 1988 by entrepreneurs Rick Teasta and Mike Dobson. Since that time, EZ Lube, a Costa Mesa based company, has not only become one of the country's largest privately owned fast oil change companies, it is also the fastest growing fast lube company in Southern California. In California, recent acquisitions in Riverside and Bakersfield and new stores in Pasadena and Northridge have helped increase EZ Lube’s visibility as a quick oil change business to more than 74 locations.

We currently serve thousands of customers each day and over one million customers every year with a wide spectrum of preventative automotive maintenance including: oil change, transmission service, radiator service and tire rotation.

In early 2006, EZ Lube founders were among a handful of business people chosen to be honored for their entrepreneurial excellence by the Orange County Business Journal. In 2005, EZ Lube's Melrose location was crowned the winner in the National Oil and Lube News_Articles seventh annual, Best Looking Lube Contest. Last but not least, National Oil and Lube News_Articles—the industry's most respected publication— selected EZ Lube as the 2003 Operators of the Year.
