Mechanic in a Bottle

Mechanic in a Bottle Market Overview

According to Grips Intelligence in-store data tracked from January 1 to August 31, 2026 across lowes.com, acehardware.com, menards.com and homedepot.com, Mechanic in a Bottle — a brand of privately held B3C Fuel Solutions — carries an average product price of $8.43. Distribution is heavily concentrated, with Lowe's accounting for 44.9% of year-to-date revenue and Ace Hardware a further 34.8%, leaving Menards (10.3%) and Home Depot (10.0%) as comparatively minor contributors. Momentum has softened over the June–August window, where revenue fell 35.8% overall and dropped 23.4% in the most recent month alone. Pricing has moved in the same direction, with the average selling price sliding 20.2% across the period to $7.55, an 18.5% month-over-month decline. The combination of falling volumes and softer realized pricing suggests promotional pressure at the brand's two dominant retail partners is the key variable to watch.
