About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little boy walked into Jiffy Lube and asked if he could pet one of the waiting cars. His mom laughed it off until she saw the other customers smiling and cooing over the shiny black sedan. The next day, every kid in town showed up hoping for a cuddle with ‘Mr. Smooth Ride’. Soon enough, Mr. Smooth Ride became a local celebrity. A delivery driver even brought him fresh flowers every week. But then one day, an old man entered the shop and asked if he could borrow Mr. Smooth Ride for his granddaughter’s birthday. Turns out, Grandpa had once owned that very car himself! And thus began another tradition—every year, on the anniversary of his purchase, someone would bring back Mr. Smooth Ride for a special hug.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Jiffy Lube one afternoon, fuming over an especially difficult day. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd: every time he looked in the mirror, his reflection seemed to be wearing a different hat. Confused and amused, he went inside to get his oil changed. The mechanic glanced at him curiously but didn’t say anything. Later that evening, while watching TV, he realized everyone on screen was wearing hats too—just like his own reflection earlier. Turned out it was just another case of optical illusion.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Jiffy Lube one day, muttering under his breath as he inspected his damaged tire. The mechanic nodded knowingly and began to work on the flat, but something unusual happened when he popped the tire off—an old coin rolled out from beneath it. The mechanic picked up the coin, glanced at it curiously, then looked up with a smile. ‘Hey,’ he said, ‘this looks like an old quarter.’ He handed it back to the driver, who stared at it in surprise before breaking into laughter. ‘That’s funny,’ he remarked, ‘I was just thinking how lucky I am not to be short a dollar today!’

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Jiffy Lube, puzzled by a sign in the window that read: ‘Oil Changes Done By Unseen Hands.’ The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Don’t worry, it’s just our new ghostly assistant.' The delivery driver laughed nervously as his oil change was completed without him even lifting a finger. When he left, he noticed a satisfied smile on his neighbor's face who had been waiting for an oil change too.
