About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little girl pointed and giggled as she walked past Meineke’s garage. Her father looked puzzled until he saw it too—a neon sign above the entrance that read ‘Tires Turned Here’ in bright red letters, but with one tire spinning so slowly it seemed almost frozen. A few days later, an older gentleman pulled up for an oil change. As he waited, he noticed something odd—all the clocks inside were set exactly ten minutes fast. When asked about it, the mechanic smiled and said, 'Oh, those are just our special timepieces. They help remind us not to rush when working on cars!'
2. Early one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Meineke's with an unusual request. He claimed he could hear classical music coming from under the hood of his truck. The mechanics were baffled until they noticed tiny speakers poking out from behind the radiator. It turned out that a neighboring kid had hidden them there as a prank, thinking it would be funny to scare the poor driver. The whole town got a good laugh out of it—especially when the delivery guy received a new set of headphones for his troubles.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Meineke’s with an unusual passenger in his truck—his dog had somehow managed to drive himself there! The dog, a small terrier mix, sat proudly in the passenger seat, wagging his tail as if he’d just completed a successful journey. The delivery driver laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll be getting my oil changed here every month!’ His neighbor, walking by, shook her head and muttered, ‘That dog sure knows where to go for good service.’
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Meineke’s with something odd in the back of his truck. Upon opening the rear doors, he noticed an unusual cargo—a live chicken pecking around the bed of the truck. The staff at Meineke exchanged knowing glances and chuckled, explaining that it was clearly ‘just another day’ for them. The delivery driver left, shaking his head but smiling, realizing that some days you just can’t take your work too seriously.
