IRVING, Texas, Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Heartland Automotive Services, Inc., America's largest Jiffy Lube Franchisee, has expanded in New England with its acquisition of 10 locations in Massachusetts.

"We've doubled our presence in Massachusetts with this acquisition," said Brett Ponton, Chief Executive Officer at Jiffy Lube Heartland. "The addition of these 10 locations strengthens our footprint in the Boston area and we now are proud to offer 29 Heartland Jiffy Lube locations in New England."

All of the employees across the newly acquired stores were invited to remain in their current positions following the acquisition. In many instances, Heartland brings new health care insurance and retirement benefits to the teammates not previously available to them.
Consumers in the area will be able to continue to experience the legendary Jiffy Lube Signature Service® Oil Change with Shell Oils' Pennzoil® branded motor oil. They'll also continue to enjoy other preventative maintenance services to help keep their vehicles running longer – in addition to an intense focus on guest service as the company strives to turn consumers into guests for life.
