About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Mike’s In & Out Oil Change, customers often wondered why their cars seemed to drive off with extra pep after an oil change. One day, a delivery driver asked jokingly, ‘Do you guys secretly tune our engines here?’ A mechanic overheard and smiled knowingly. ‘Nah,’ he whispered, ‘we just add a little something special—like extra drops of happiness.’ The next week, when a neighbor stopped by to pick up his car, he teased, “Did you put pixie dust in my engine?” Everyone laughed, and soon Mike’s became known not for top-notch repairs but for its unique brand of humor.

2. At Mike’s In & Out Oil Change, a regular once complained, ‘Why does it always take longer than they say?’ The next day, his car arrived exactly on time—just not for its oil change. A few days later, an anxious delivery driver rushed in, yelling, ‘My truck is overdue!’ To everyone’s surprise, out popped his vehicle from behind the shop, complete with freshly changed oil and a note taped to the windshield: “Next time, please allow extra time.”

3. At Mike’s In & Out Oil Change, a little boy named Timmy always accompanied his dad. One day, after the mechanic finished tightening something under the hood, he looked up and asked Timmy, ‘Does your car smell like popcorn now?’ Timmy thought for a moment, then nodded seriously. ‘Yes, it does!’ he declared proudly. The mechanic laughed and shook his head, muttering something about kids these days. As they drove off, a delivery driver inched closer to inspect the car, whispering to himself, 'Popcorn-scented oil change? Now that's a new one!'

4. At Mike’s In & Out Oil Change, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one morning. As he pulled up in his truck, he saw that the sign above the shop had mysteriously changed from ‘Open’ to ‘Closed,’ even though no one else was around. Confused and curious, the driver knocked on the door but got no response. He shrugged it off and went inside anyway—only to discover that everything was open for business as usual. Turned out, the sign had just been moved temporarily by a neighbor who’d parked too close earlier. The whole thing became a running joke among locals whenever anyone mentioned getting their oil changed.
