About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular brought in his car for an oil change and noticed something odd: every time he parked next to the big sign with AAA’s logo, his dog would start howling uncontrollably. No matter where else they parked, it was only here that she lost her mind. Finally, someone suggested that maybe the dog was just reacting to the eerie sound of the wind rustling through the giant letters on the sign. They moved to another spot—no howling. The mystery solved, everyone laughed it off as one of those quirky coincidences. But whenever anyone drove by that spot now, they’d still glance over, half expecting to see the poor pooch’s frantic face again.
2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the drive-thru window with a puzzled look on his face. He had just dropped off a package, but when he glanced back, he swore he saw someone waving from inside the empty building. Curious, he drove around to the front and found no one there. Just as he was about to leave, an old man appeared from behind the building, waving cheerfully. ‘Hey, thanks for stopping!’ said the man. Turns out, it was his daily routine to wave at every delivery person—just because he enjoyed making their day brighter. The delivery driver smiled, realizing that sometimes, even in a busy world, small gestures can make a big difference.
3. Early one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the drive-thru window with a puzzled look on his face. ‘I just saw something strange,’ he muttered, handing over the forms. 'What’s that?’ asked the perplexed clerk. ‘Actually,’ he whispered, leaning closer, ‘there was a fox running across your roof!’ The clerk blinked twice and then burst out laughing. ‘Welcome to AAA Fox Valley Car Care Plus, where even our insurance claims are… interesting.’
4. One stormy night, a neighbor drove up to the drive-thru window, asking worriedly, ‘Is it normal for your sign to say “Windshield Replacement Special” when there’s not even any wind?’ The employee smiled and replied, 'No, sir, it's just our new slogan for when we're closed!' The neighbor laughed and drove off, shaking his head. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the mysterious sign, they’d only hear one word: 'AAA Fox Valley Car Care Plus—Always Open for Business!'
