'''Mech-it-Lube''' was a franchise for [[BattleMech]] service and refits that existed from at least [[3018]] through the [[ilClan Era]].

==Overview==
Third party service centers such as Mech-it-Lube were rare during the [[Succession Wars]] but became more common as recovered technology proliferated.<ref name=RGv1p32/><ref>''Shrapnel Issue 16'', pp. 49–51: "COM-7T Commando "Blazing Inferno II"</ref><ref>''Shrapnel Issue 15'', p. 330: "They Walk Alone: Mercenary Freelancers - Third party Service"</ref>

In [[3018]], [[Defiance Industries]] sued the [[Chara III]] franchise to prevent them from violating the no-modification clause that came with ''[[Chameleon]]'' 'Mechs.<ref name=RGv1p32/>

==Notes==
This business first made an apocryphal appearance in ''[[BattleTech: The Crescent Hawks' Inception]]'' where it was "Mechit-Lube." Some canon sources have also used Mechit-Lube, but the double hyphenated version is the most recent use.
