In 1972 in Houston, Texas, Sam Meineke began with only one store and a single product line. He also started with a simple concept: He would provide quality products and workmanship at a fair price and fix folks' vehicles correctly, the first time. Today, still based on Sam's ideals, Meineke is one of the most recognized and trusted brands in North America.

In 2003, Meineke changed its name from Meineke Discount Muffler Shops, Inc. to Meineke Car Care Centers, Inc. After 32 years as one of the most recognized and trusted brands in America, it was the perfect time to change to a name that was more reflective of the company's comprehensive service offerings. Historically known as a leading discount muffler service provider in the automotive aftermarket, Meineke was forced to transition into a complete car care center, offering a full range of vehicle services.

Presently, there are approximately 900 Meineke franchises throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, China, Saudi Arabia and the Caribbean, with plans to keep international expansion going strong. Recognized as one of the largest automotive franchises, Meineke franchisees have serviced more than 50,000,000 vehicles since its inception.
