Porter’s Quick Change Oil

Are you in need of an oil change from a business that understands the importance of honesty, integrity and the value of your time? If so, there is one place in Edmond that truly understands the needs of their customers. The place is Porter’s Quick Change Oil, and they are located at 2625 Broadway Court. This month Porters will be celebrating their tenth anniversary.

“I have been around cars all of my life, either working or racing them, so this just kind of came naturally.” said owner, Greg Porter.

Growing up, Porter was always building small engines or working on race cars. It is safe to say that he doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty while fixing a problem. It could also be said that he is not a 9 to 5, behind a desk type either.

“Well, I might be more successful if I was, but this is in my blood and I enjoy the benefits of being able to help the customers of the shop.”

While Porter has been quite successful over the last ten years, he is well aware of what is the most important aspect of his company. “Honesty, without a doubt. I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I thought that I had done a customer wrong,” he said. “Truthfully, I would like to see you take care of your car at the best price that you can.”

Porter’s is open from 8-6 Monday through Friday and 8-2 on Saturday. It is during the closed hours that Porter enjoys another passion of his life—drag racing. “Been doing it for seven years and it’s a great time,” he said. “We are building a new car that should be done in May so we are really excited about competing this year.”

And what would make this year of drag racing complete? “A win,” answered Porter.

However, it is during the open hours of Porter’s Quick Change Oil that engine flushes, new tires, transmission services, and many other automotive services are conducted. “Throughout the years, we have had so many repeat customers that we really get to know them, and this gives them and us a very real, more human side of the business,” he said. “I really enjoy that part.”
