Express Lube celebrates 20th Anniversary with fundraising efforts for Alzheimer's

THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- Express Lube is celebrating their 20th anniversary this September, and commemorating it with a fundraiser to raise awareness for Alzheimer’s research. On September 20, the three Express Lube locations in The Woodlands will be rolling back the price of its ‘Deluxe Full-Service Oil Change’ to it’s 1994 pricing of $24.99; $25 off the regular price of $49.99.

Oil system and fuel system cleaners will be included with the oil change, in addition to their multi-point inspection of belts, hoses, tires, etc. The special is not limited to one vehicle, so two-car families, and service companies with multiple-vehicle fleets, can take advantage of this ‘best buy.’ “We could have just thrown a celebration for our 20th anniversary, but we wanted it to benefit Alzheimer’s,” said Jeff Early, the owner of the three Express Lube locations in The Woodlands. “We provide the community with value-added services. That’s what we do...serve the community.”

Early truly believes in service to the community, and has demonstrated it by previously serving as a President of The Woodlands Rotary Club. In 2005, he was selected as The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year, and honored as a Woodlands Hometown Hero in 2006.

Leading by example, the exemplary customer service at Early’s Express Lube shops in The Woodlands, and the company’s commitment to service in the community, has been recognized by the Lone Star College System’s Small Business Development Center Advisory Council. Express Lube was presented the Small Business of the Year Award for Montgomery County in 2009.

The public can show their appreciation for the customer service and at the same time, help serve Alzheimers research in a variety of ways. In addition to proceeds from the oil change, customers may contribute directly to the cause, and Express Lube will match monetary donations dollar for dollar. The dollar matching program actually started September 1, and will continue throughout the month.

This is the major annual fundraiser for Express Lube and the Early family, as Alzheimer’s has struck close to home. Early’s mother, Jeanine, suffers from this debilitating disease. The Early family will again this year, have a team at The Walk to End Alzheimer's, which is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support, and research programs. Friends and residents can support the Early team by contributing to, or joining online at Jeff Early’s Walk Page.
