About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Jiffy Lube one morning, a delivery driver complained to no one in particular, ‘Why does it always take forever for my oil change here?’ Suddenly, the mechanic behind him replied, ‘Because your engine’s talking to us.’ The delivery driver blinked and looked around, but everyone was still working quietly. After a moment, he smiled sheepishly and said, ‘I guess I’ll just wait then.’ The mechanic nodded knowingly, and soon enough, the engine started humming contentedly as if nothing had happened. That afternoon, a neighbor stopped by and asked what took so long—‘Oh,’ shrugged the driver, ‘my engine was just saying hello!’

2. At Jiffy Lube one day, an old man waiting for his oil change started talking to the ceiling. His wife, sitting next to him, just shook her head and smiled. After a while, a young mechanic walked over curiously. ‘Sir,’ he asked, ‘are you praying?’ The old man looked down and replied, ‘No son, I’m just telling God how much I love Jiffy Lube!’ Everyone laughed, including the mechanic.

3. At Jiffy Lube one night, a mechanic overheard two cars arguing on the parking lot. "Why are you honking so much?" asked one. 'Because my check engine light is blinking!' replied another. Suddenly, an old lady in a nearby car leaned out her window and said, ‘Oh, give it a rest already! Your lights are probably just fine—you’re both old and cranky!’ The cars fell silent, and from that moment on, whenever they saw each other, they waved politely instead of honking.

4. At Jiffy Lube one afternoon, a little dog followed its owner into the service bay. As the mechanic bent down to greet him, the pup froze—then stared wide-eyed at something only he could see. Suddenly, the mechanic started laughing and pointed up towards the ceiling. The dog’s eyes lit up as he saw—a dust bunny, no bigger than his paw! From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Jiffy Lube, that little dog would wag his tail and smile, remembering his adventure with the friendly mechanic.
