The Melrose EZ Lube location was awarded the overall winner in the 2005 National Oil and Lube News Best Looking Lube Contest from amongst 10,000 fast lubes nationally.

Judges called EZ Lube’s exterior design, “refreshing.” “With it’s Mediterranean architecture, colonnaded entrance and glistening fountain, this three-bay EZ Lube…wouldn’t look out of place in the Spanish Riviera.” They also applauded the building’s “classical good looks” remarking that the structure looked more like a bank or office building than a traditional auto service shop. They were just as impressed with the well-designed interior, which they labeled “clean, sparkling and cheery.” [PRWEB Nov 5, 2005]
