AYR, Ont. –Quick Truck Lube took advantage of the recent heat wave by hosting a customer appreciation barbecue on July 9.

Though clouds threatened for most of the morning, the afternoon eventually gave way to sunshine as customers enjoyed a barbecue lunch and the opportunity to talk to major oil vendors on site.

As part of the event, Quick Truck Lube was also offering a special one-day oil change price of $99.99 (with a Fleetguard filter), which had trucks lined up out of the Ayr, Ont.-based company’s three bays all afternoon. At the mid-point of the day, Quick Truck Lube owner Gurjinder Johal estimated that as many as 200 customers would eventually take advantage of the company’s one-day promotion.

“We are really thankful for the customers who gave us their support for the last five years,” said company owner Johal. “The last two years -2008-2009 -were really bad, and we are thankful for our customers. They stuck with us and supported us to survive in the recession. We expanded last year and opened a second location because of our customers, so today is a time to give back.”

Quick Truck Lube opened its second location in Fort Erie, Ont. on Oct. 5. For more information, visit www.quicktrucklube.com.
