A national franchisor purchased Economy Oil Change, which operates auto shops in Glastonbury, Manchester and Vernon, the company announced this week.
FullSpeed Automotive of Colorado, which owns more than 600 automotive centers, bought the Hartford chain as part of plans to expand in the region. FullSpeed Automotive was recently acquired by MidOcean Partners, a New York-based private equity firm.
“This purchase was an opportunity for us to demonstrate our commitment to growth in the northeastern United States and is an outstanding complement to our existing brands,” said FullSpeed CEO Kevin Kormondy.
Economy Oil Change opened its first location in 1984.
