Valvoline has completed the previously announced acquisition of the business assets of Great Canadian Oil Change Franchising, the third-largest quick-lube system in Canada.

The acquisition expands Valvoline’s existing quick-lube network to more than 1,200 company-owned and franchised locations in North America.

“Growing and strengthening our quick-lube network through organic store expansion and high-quality acquisitions in both core and new markets is a key growth strategy for the company,” said Sam Mitchell, chief executive officer. “Great Canadian Oil Change, with its established brand and loyal customer base, is Valvoline’s first international quick-lube acquisition and provides us with an excellent opportunity to expand our quick-lube footprint outside the U.S.”
