About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their routine oil change, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention all mechanics—your next customer is none other than the local ghost of a former mechanic!’ A delivery driver, confused but game, walked into the shop, wearing an old grease-stained coverall and holding a toolbox. After fixing the first car flawlessly, he asked with a smile, 'So, do I get overtime pay for being a ghost?' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another prank from the owner.
2. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching, a delivery driver pulled up with a crate of mysterious parts. Nobody had ordered them. The next morning, as workers unpacked the crate, they found only rusty bolts and old tires. ‘Who ordered these?’ someone asked. A neighbor chimed in, ‘Probably just another prank from that nosy mechanic down the street.’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough, no one remembered who or why it happened—except for the occasional joke about mysterious deliveries.
3. At dusk, when most cars are already parked for the night, a strange man walked into Arbor Lube Center carrying a basket full of freshly picked flowers. He approached the counter and asked the mechanic if he could fix his car ‘with these’—he gestured to the flowers. The mechanic smiled, shrugged, and said, ‘Why not? It’s Friday.’ And so, every week, at sunset, the mysterious flower-guy would return with more blooms, and the whole team at Arbor Lube Center wondered what kind of magic those flowers brought.
4. At closing time, when the last mechanic had left and only the security lights illuminated the parking lot, a delivery driver pulled up with a mysterious box marked ‘For Arbor Lube Center Only.’ The delivery driver walked in, nodded at nobody in particular, and placed the box on the counter. The next morning, everyone found out it was just a new batch of coffee beans for the break room. Turns out, someone from accounting accidentally ordered them instead of oil filters. A regular chuckled, saying, ‘Guess they wanted us to keep our engines humming—even if they were running on caffeine!’
