About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers with an urgent load. As he approached the counter, the mechanic’s voice boomed over the intercom: ‘Hey there, pal! Your tires are here—just like clockwork!’ The delivery driver smiled sheepishly and said, 'Guess I should’ve checked the time!' The mechanic laughed heartily and replied, 'Next time, buddy, don’t forget to look at your watch.' And so, the tires were installed, the driver was on his way, and everyone went home happy—except maybe the neighbor who’d been waiting for their tire repair since 9 PM.
2. One morning, a little girl followed her dad into Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers. As he waited for his tires to be checked, she stared wide-eyed at something under the car lift. ‘Daddy,’ she whispered, pointing, ‘why does that tire look like it’s winking?’ Her father smiled and gently explained, ‘Honey, that’s just an old tire with some dirt on it.’ She nodded thoughtfully then asked, ‘So why is it smiling at us?’ He laughed, ruffling her hair, and replied, ‘Because sometimes even tires get a little curious too!’
3. A delivery driver pulled up one afternoon and noticed something peculiar on the service counter—a tire valve stem shaped like a tiny American flag. Curious, he picked it up, only for the flag to wave back at him. The driver laughed, thinking it was some prank. He waved back, and just as quickly, the little flag stopped moving—only to start waving again when another employee walked by. Word spread around town, and soon everyone was stopping by Express Oil Change to see the talking tire valve stems. It turned out to be just an old mechanic’s trick with magnets, but the legend of the patriotic valves became part of local lore.
4. At dawn, a neighborhood dog began barking furiously outside Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers. No matter how many times he was calmed down, every morning he'd return with the same intensity. The staff grew curious but couldn't figure out why. Finally, one morning an old neighbor walked in and whispered that his dog had been chasing a squirrel who liked hanging around the shop’s air compressors. After some laughter, the staff installed a fake squirrel nearby, and ever since then, the dog only barked once—when he saw his new toy.
