=== ProCare ===
In the 1980s, as many gas stations began converting their vehicle service bays into [[convenience store]]s, Sohio wished to continue performing auto maintenance by launching a specialty [[auto repair]] shop. Called '''Sohio ProCare''', these shops were often located near Sohio stations that now had convenience stores instead of auto service and were more specialized compared to traditional auto garages located at gas stations. The locations were mostly in Ohio, but Sohio did expand the concept into Pennsylvania and North Carolina, where they were known as "Boron ProCare". Also, unlike many Sohio stations, the ProCare locations were owned and operated directly by Sohio. Commercials for ProCare often featured ''[[M*A*S*H (TV series)|M*A*S*H]]'' actor [[Gary Burghoff]] as "That Sohio Guy", as part of a larger Sohio advertising campaign featuring Burghoff.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/std85z_EPBw]{{dead link|date=June 2022}}</ref> Burghoff himself would stay with BP for a time as a spokesperson after BP converted Sohio and its other brands to BP.

BP retained ProCare following its absorption of Sohio, rebranding it as "BP ProCare" and changing the colors in its logo to match BP. BP continued to operate it until selling off the chain to a private investment group in 1999, at which point the shops were simply called ProCare without an oil company prefix and its logo was reverted to its Sohio-era colors.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.crainscleveland.com/article/19991011/SUB/910110735/bp-amoco-sheds-procare-in-sale-to-investor-group|title=Bp Amoco Sheds Procare in Sale to Investor Group|date=31 May 2005}}</ref> Following a bankruptcy under the private investment group's ownership, ProCare would ultimately be acquired by [[Monro Muffler Brake]] in 2006, and converted the locations to its own brands.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aftermarketnews.com/monro-muffler-brake-to-acquire-assets-of-procare-automotive-service-solutions-out-of-bankruptcy/|title = Monro Muffler Brake to Acquire Assets of ProCare Automotive Service Solutions Out of Bankruptcy|date = 6 March 2006}}</ref>
