the reality. A fairly busy franchise J-Lube will provide between $80k and $150k profit a year, I almost bought into a 4-shop outfit with a friend of mine, but for some $$ issues (I didn't have any). He owns one of the busiest J-Lubes in Illinois. Profit, that's PROFIT on a basic LOF (lube oil filter) that he sells to you for about $21 is about $15, his cost is around $6. That doesn't include selling other services, like atf, coolant, belts, filters etc. his cost on a standard air filter is like $1 or $2, he sells it to you for $11 with about five minutes labor.
Don't know about other j-lubes, but he takes care of his employees, they get commissions for up-selling, he takes them on excursions (paint ball seems to be popular), the more they sell the more he makes. No doubt, though, there are many who skimp on labor costs to make even more $$, to the detriment of the customers.
