QC Capital Group, LLC announced the launch of Cruz Express Oil, an express oil change brand, in a press release.

The company has been operating AquaShine Express, an express car wash brand with 11 locations, in addition to other businesses in sectors including liquidity, healthcare (telehealth), and small-bay flex industrial real estate.

Cruz Express Oil’s first two locations—in Duluth and Alpharetta, Georgia—are now operating under the Cruz Express Oil name, with the full rebrand of both sites currently underway. Both locations remain open and serving customers throughout the rebrand, and the brand's website is expected to launch in mid-to-late October.

"Car care is a need, not a want. People wash their cars and change their oil every week in towns across the Southeast, and both belong in an operator-led platform built on essential services," said Chris Salerno, founder and chief executive officer of QC Capital Group. "Cruz Express Oil is the natural next door for us to open. We operate it the same way we operate every site we own: ourselves, on the ground, with discipline."

"Our teams make the difference at every location," said Chris Stevens, vice president of operations for AquaShine Express and Cruz Express Oil. "Duluth and Alpharetta are running the way a shop should run: fast service, honest recommendations, and customers who come back because the experience earned it. Cruz Express Oil is built on the same standard that has driven AquaShine Express, and the teams at both brands are ready to carry it."
