| SOUTH PORTLAND, MAINE (February 2004) —
Jiffy Lube International has
reached an agreement to accept Wright Express cards
to pay for services at its more than 2,200 service locations
nationwide.
The agreement
between Texas-based Jiffy Lube International and Wright
Express, the nation's leading supplier of fleet
card and fleet management services, provides Wright
Express Universal Card customers with access to one
of the nation's leading providers of oil changes
and preventative maintenance services. All Jiffy Lube
locations will accept the Wright Express Universal Card
starting February 2004.
Jiffy Lube
International, founded in 1979, provides fast oil changes
and preventative care services using certified technicians
and state-of-the-art technology.
“This
is great news for Wright Express customers,” said
Michael Dubyak, president of Wright Express. “Gaining
access to the services of Jiffy Lube, which has more
than 2,200 locations across the country, will make it
easier and more convenient than ever for our fleet customers
to find and purchase quality preventative maintenance
services.”
The agreement
with Jiffy Lube continues to increase the services available
through the new Wright Express Service Network, part
of a program that offers fleets an easy way to manage
both fuel and service costs using a one-card solution.
The Wright Express Universal Card now makes obtaining
services and tracking related expenses as easy as purchasing
and tracking fuel — and all in one place.
“Jiffy
Lube and Wright Express are a great match,” said
Jack Fischbein, VP or Products and Services for Jiffy
Lube International. “We are excited to work with
Wright Express and are confident their fleet customers
will be very pleased by the quality services they can
