Valvoline

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Valvoline and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the workshop. As he approached the door, the noise grew louder—a strange, almost mechanical whirring that seemed to come from nowhere specific. Curious, he opened the door just a crack—and was greeted by a tiny robotic arm waving cheerfully at him. ‘Morning!’ it chirped. The delivery driver blinked several times before laughing aloud. Turns out, it was only a new employee playing around with his latest toy.

2. A curious delivery driver stopped by Valvoline one day, noticing something unusual in the service bay. Among the tools and parts lay a small, glowing orb that seemed to pulse with every engine rev. The delivery driver picked up the orb curiously, but it slipped from his grasp just as he turned around, rolling under an old truck. A gruff mechanic emerged from the workshop, muttering, 'Damn thing always gets away!' The driver shrugged and walked out, thinking nothing of it—until his next oil change was half-off.

3. One night, a neighbor driving home saw strange lights flickering inside Valvoline’s garage. ‘What on earth is going on there?’ he muttered aloud. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old mechanic tinkering with something unusual—a vintage radio tuned to some distant station. The mechanic hummed along, oblivious to the spectator, while a delivery driver outside scratched his head, thinking, 'I’ve never seen anyone fix a car with such an old-timey playlist.'

4. A mechanic finishing his shift locked up Valvoline late one night. As he drove away, he noticed a faint glow coming from under the service bay door. Curious, he walked back and peered inside. There on the floor was an old, rusty keyring with ‘Valvoline’ engraved on it—obviously left behind by some forgetful mechanic or a delivery driver. He laughed, unlocked the door, and went home, knowing that tomorrow morning everything would be as normal.
