About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver pulled up to Meineke one morning, puzzled by an odd object in the parking lot. Among the usual discarded tires and old windshield wipers lay a small wooden box, its surface weathered but its lock intact. The delivery driver opened the box curiously, revealing only a note that read: 'Free oil change for anyone who can guess what this is.' A regular customer happened by and exclaimed, ‘It’s a time capsule!’ Turns out it was filled with vintage candy from the 80s. Everyone got a free oil change and a sugary treat.
2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Meineke, confused by a strange noise coming from inside. As he opened the door, a friendly mechanic greeted him with a smile and said, ‘Morning! Your engine’s just having a chatty morning.’ The driver relaxed, realizing it was nothing serious. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned that foggy morning, they’d laugh and say, ‘That’s when Meineke learned our delivery guy had a voice!’
3. In the dead of night, a neighborhood watchman noticed something peculiar outside the Meineke garage. The streetlights flickered on and off in rhythm, as if someone were testing them from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old delivery driver fiddling with the wiring. ‘What are you doing?’ asked the watchman. With a straight face, the driver replied, “Just making sure everything’s working properly.” The lights continued their rhythmic dance until dawn, much to the amusement of nearby neighbors.
4. In the middle of a routine day, a delivery driver pulled up to Meineke and spotted something unusual in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers. Curious, he approached it, but before he could open it, another customer walked out with a fresh tire, completely ignoring the mystery package. As the delivery driver peered closer, he saw that the newspaper was from 1987. Just then, an older gentleman emerged from the shop, carrying his coffee cup and muttering about ‘that darned mechanic again’. Turns out, it was just an old time capsule filled with expired coupons—nothing more than a quirky prank by the friendly neighborhood retiree.
