Meineke To Complete Overhaul of Fort Lauderdale Location With An Updated Look and New Services

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – Life will be a highway again for drivers in Fort Lauderdale as Meineke welcomes the community to experience its updated aesthetic.

Owned and operated locally, the service bay doors are open for business once again to area customers. Brian Albelli, a local resident, welcomes the community and commuters back to experience firsthand Meineke’s pledge: “Taking Care of Your Car Shouldn’t Take Over Your Life.”

Situated at 901 N. Andrews Ave near the intersection of Sunrise Boulevard and North Andrews Avenue, the location’s interior has been completely renovated to allow guests a more comfortable experience. The lobby has all new floors, walls, seating and entertainment options, and the bathroom was given a full upgrade that includes a luxurious tile finish.

The shop offers a comprehensive line of car care services, from routine oil changes to extensive car repair. It is open six days a week, Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“Our loyal customers in Fort Lauderdale have always been committed to this location, and we hope to reaffirm the connection that we have with them by offering an updated look that makes their experience more enjoyable,” said Albelli. “Meineke in Fort Lauderdale will now be able to better meet the car care needs of the community.”

After years of vacationing in Florida, Albelli and his family were looking to plant roots in the sunshine state and he decided re-opening another Meineke location was the perfect business opportunity to facilitate the move. Albelli has had a passion for cars his entire life and is excited to welcome back loyal Meineke customers to the Fort Lauderdale location. In addition to his new Meineke in Fort Lauderdale, Albelli also owns a Meineke in Ledgewood, New Jersey.

“Brian and his team are sure to steer local drivers in the right direction when it comes to car care,” said Jeff Todd, director of resale for Meineke Car Care Centers, Inc. “He represents the ideal franchisee – a savvy entrepreneur that is ready to use business expertise and the benefits of our franchise support system to push this location to be the best in town.”

In addition to this location in Fort Lauderdale, Meineke has many existing units with ongoing cash flow that are prepared for resale. Key resale markets range from Houston to New York and San Francisco to Chicago.

Today, there are more than 900 locations currently open nationwide. The reopening in Fort Lauderdale reflects the momentum behind the brand. Meineke’s robust customer rewards program, Meineke Rewards, provides convenient, mobile device access to redeem points earned through services and maintenance bonuses. Points are used for free service visits and the mobile app can be used to book appointments online, track points and store maintenance information.
