Local Xpress Lube Service Center Locations Receive National Motor Oil Matters Certification for Commitment to Quality

Three Xpress Lube Service Center  Installers Become 1st American Petroleum Institute MOM-Certified Locations in Southern California

Simi Valley, Calif. – January 8, 2014 – Xpress Lube Service Center is proud to announce that its three locations in Simi Valley and Ventura have become the first American Petroleum Institute (API) Motor Oil Matters (MOM) certified motor oil installers in Southern California.  MOM is an API program that identifies motor oil installers that adhere to the highest possible industry standards and deliver quality motor oils.

“Since 1971, we’ve always prided ourselves on being a premium service, and when something comes along like this that brings even more credibility to what you do, it’s a great thing,” said Thomas Haugh, Operations Manager, Lube Pit Stop Inc. “We’re excited to be the first installer in Southern California to join the MOM program. The MOM seal lets consumers know that we are a company you can trust, and that we’re only pouring high quality motor oils into consumers’ vehicles.”

In order to qualify for MOM, install locations are required to demonstrate an ongoing commitment to quality, prove their dedication to accurate record keeping and transparency and agree to random audits to ensure only quality oils are installed in consumers’ cars and trucks.  

The three Xpress Lube Service Center locations have been recognized for passing these rigorous requirements.  

“These Xpress Lube Service Center locations have demonstrated an impressive commitment to their customers by making sure they deliver only high quality motor oils,” said Kevin Ferrick, API’s Engine Oil Licensing and Certification System manager. “By achieving Motor Oil Matters certified status, all three of these locations proudly display the MOM certified symbol, an easily-recognized sign that assures consumers they will get the quality oils recommended by their vehicle and engine manufacturers.”

The locations in Simi Valley and Ventura offer a full range of automotive services, including oil changes, power steering service, transmission service, fuel injection service, coolant services, and others.

 “We understand that it can often be confusing for consumers to get their cars serviced, with competitors offering unreasonably low prices for incorrect, low-quality motor oil that is not right for their vehicles, “added Haugh. “Consumers should only trust installers that are certified by the API, as we only pour the correct grade and correctly rated motor oils into consumer’s vehicles.”

API recommends that consumers visit www.MotorOilMatters.org to find a Motor Oil Matters (MOM) certified oil change location near them, get informed about the vital role quality oil plays in their vehicles, and download the helpful MOM oil change checklist to take to their next oil change. Oil-change locations and motor oil distributors that share MOM’s commitment to high quality motor oils—and submit to independent, third party auditing— are the only locations that have the opportunity to be recognized by MOM through the Motor Oil Matters distributor and installer licensing programs.
