Ever pull into an oil change place and wonder if they really are doing anything under your vehicle? A cynical or suspicious person might think they are just banging a wrench against the undercarriage pretending to be changing the oil . . . how would you ever know?

At Fifties Lube & Oil on Canton Center Road, you definitely know because you can actually see them working.

“We have a monitor that our customers can see that shows what’s taking place underneath their vehicle,” said owner Sam Najjar. “We want them to have the peace of mind that we are actually changing their oil and doing the work we are promising.”

That work includes a long list of inspections that begin as soon as you pull into the bay.

The Fifties Full Service Oil Change package includes Custom Choice Premium Oil, a new oil filter, complete chassis lubrication, and a 20-point safety/performance inspection that includes checking the vehicle’s transmission fluid, radiator coolant, power steering fluid, brake fluid level (inform if low), front differential fluid (by request), rear differential fluid (by request), transfer case fluid (by request), PCV Valve, engine air filter, cabin air filter (by request), washer solvent as well as inspections for leaks, engine sludge, belts, battery, tire pressure and a reset of the “Oil Life Monitoring System.”

And all in 10 minutes – so you can get this done with peace of mind before getting on with your day.

“We believe in in-and-out fast service with no appointments and provide our customers with high-quality services personalized for their unique needs,” said Najjar, whose family has owned and operated other oil change locations in the past in Michigan and Ohio. “We are available for service seven days a week and our trained technicians are professional, courteous and efficient. No dealer or full-service garage can do that.”

Established in 2009, the name Fifties Lube & Oil is a throwback to a time when customer service was paramount.

“Fifties Lube was founded with the idea of fusing both a modern, state-of-the-art quick lube facility and advanced oils, with the fabulous ‘50s superb customer service which, unfortunately, has mostly faded away in places today,” Najjar said. “We set out in creating a facility worthy of keeping those great values around together with an added treat of a ‘50s era Americana theme.”

Fifties Lube & Oil also takes pride in offering a wide selection of quality oils and other products. Oil choices feature top brands including Pennzoil, Valvoline, Kendall, Motorcraft, Castrol, Amsoil, Mobil and Service Pro. Most of the products they offer have protection guarantees backed by the manufacturer.

Additional services include radiator coolant flush, transmission fluid and/or filter service, manual transmission fluid replacement, fuel injectors/intake sys. cleaner, power steering fluid service, 4x4 service, differential fluid replacement, tire repair, tire rotation, other maintenance services and minor repairs.

“Our reliable and professional staff service your vehicle as if it were their own and they know the right products for your vehicle to ensure the highest performance possible,” Najjar said.

Every full-service oil change also comes with a free car wash right next door.

Fifties Lube & Oil is located at 5794 Canton Center Road in Canton. The business is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, call (734) 629- 4405 or visit fiftieslube.com.
