Lasagna and Local Love

Community, Giving Back, Magic Moments

At Magic Lube & Rubber, we’re more than just oil changes and expert service — we’re a team of real people who care deeply about our community. This Easter, we had the privilege of supporting an incredible local organization that’s making a meaningful difference right here in our own backyard: Roxbury Social Services.

We believe that when you take care of your neighbors, you help build a stronger, more connected community. That’s why our General Manager, Brian Kallok, and Service Manager, Will Barkiewitz, teamed up to do something truly special — delivering several lasagnas to Roxbury Social Services, just in time for their Easter outreach efforts.


These meals were part of a larger donation initiative to ensure that families facing tough times didn’t feel forgotten during the holiday season. The goal? To help bring the comforting feeling of a home-cooked meal, togetherness, and dignity to tables that might otherwise go without.

Whether it’s under the hood or in the heart of our town, Brian and Will always show up with a "let's do this" attitude — and we couldn't be more proud.


A huge thank you to Eva, the passionate leader at Roxbury Social Services, who continues to be the driving force behind this amazing organization. Your work doesn’t just make holidays brighter — it strengthens families, creates hope, and reminds us what true community support looks like all year long.

If you're curious about how you can help or want to support their efforts, we encourage you to check out their site and schedule. Whether it's time, supplies, or a kind word — every little bit helps.

Community — that’s what it’s all about.

After the Women’s Car Care Clinic, guests joined Lourdes of the Vine for a fun wine tasting with prizes, laughter, and learning.

What a fantastic day we had at our recent Women’s Car Care Clinic! The turnout was incredible — a full room of women eager to learn, ask questions, and get hands-on with their vehicles. The energy was contagious from the start. Brendan led the group with his signature mix of patience and passion, breaking down the basics of car care in a way that made everyone feel comfortable and confident. From checking oil levels and understanding filters to learning about tire maintenance and warning lights, participants were eager to dive in and see for themselves how things work under the hood. It wasn’t long before everyone was getting involved — tools in hand and questions flying. And of course, no workshop would be complete without a few laughs. Somewhere along the way, the tables turned when the group discovered that I — Heidi — was a bit overdue for my own oil change and running low on oil. I caught some good-natured teasing for that one! But honestly, it perfectly proved the point we were trying to make: life gets busy, and even when you work at an awesome repair shop, car maintenance can slip your mind. The goal of this event was to make car care less intimidating and more empowering — and it did just that. Attendees left with new skills, better awareness, and the confidence to take charge of their vehicle’s upkeep. To keep things lively, Will wrapped up the session with a Car Care Quiz, testing everyone’s newfound knowledge. There were lots of laughs and a little friendly competition, especially as he handed out prizes like baseball caps from our vendors and ice scrapers — perfect timing for the chilly months ahead. We couldn’t have asked for a better turnout or a more enthusiastic group. Thank you to everyone who joined us for making it such a fun and inspiring day! Stay tuned for part two — after the learning came a little relaxation and connection, with a wine tasting that wrapped up the day beautifully.
