I got my AA from my Junior College and transferred to FSU’s School of Business. I remember Dr Lewis telling our class about his Super Lube business’ and just was wondering where he is now and what he is up to. I got my Bachelor of Science degree in Finance and minor in Real Estate. I worked in banking for 10 years (Barnett Bank of Palm Beach County and Barnett Bank of Tampa). I joined the USAF and got commissioned after my banking career and just retired from the USAF and now work for USAF civil service but my entrepreneur spirits are kicking back in and I have started my own business, Fair Idea Company, LLC. I would love to touch base with Dr Lewis so I could have him mentor me on my ideas of what I am doing. Go Noles!

The acquisition of Tallahassee’s Super-Lube by Take 5 Oil Change marks a significant step forward. This move could potentially bring about positive changes in terms of service quality, options, and overall customer experience. It’s fascinating to witness how companies are strategically aligning themselves to provide even better services to their clientele. Here’s to hoping this transition proves beneficial for both businesses and, more importantly, for the loyal customers who rely on these services. Change can be invigorating, and I’m eager to see how this transition shapes the automotive landscape in Tallahassee. ????

Although I like the concept of not having to leave my vehicle, I feel they are way overpriced! Miss SuperLube! I was a loyal customer for over 20 years of both the oil changes and the automotive repair center. Was always treated nicely and appreciated the courtesy rides when needed. Sorry to see them leave.

Getting an oil change done during lunch hour? Good luck.

I feel I was charged at least twenty-six dollars more than what the dealer would have charged me!

The owner made a bunch of money (good for him) but some of us overpaid and will shed no tears for him.

I did use Super Lube for a number of years. I’d bought an ’88 F150 (302V8) and brought it to them religiously every 5,000 miles. At 100,000 miles the engine was still so tight that it used less than a quart of oil between changes (never had to add any). At 101,500 I checked the oil while doing some other maintenance and discovered that it didn’t touch the dipstick. 2 quarts later it still didn’t touch the dipstick. The 3rd quart finally got the dipstick wet and after the 4th it finally showed full. At this point she started burning a quart every 1,500 miles.

I told them what had happened and their response was “bring it back to us and we’ll top it off”.

“Excuse me? You short me 4 quarts, run the rings out of the motor and your solution is for me to go out of my way to get a free quart of oil? I don’t think so….”

And I never went back.

Good riddance.
