About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Valvoline and noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the building. As he approached the workshop door, the noise grew louder—like someone tuning a giant guitar string. Curious, he opened the door slowly, and what he saw made him jump back with surprise—a friendly old mechanic was gently strumming a massive wrench like it was a banjo, creating that eerie tune. ‘Morning!’ said the mechanic cheerfully. ‘Just warming up my tools for another day of fixing cars.’ The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and walked away whistling, wondering if maybe Valvoline needed a new band for their next promotion.

2. One day, while a mechanic was working late, he heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Your engine is singing a song only you can fix.’ Curious, our mechanic followed the sound and found an old cassette tape stuck in the engine bay. He popped it out, played it on his phone—‘Kumbaya’ by some local band from the ’90s. Turned out, a regular had accidentally left it there during his last visit. Everyone got a good laugh when they saw him pull up again later that night.

3. A little boy followed his dad into Valvoline one Saturday morning. As they waited for service, he pointed excitedly at the ceiling, whispering, ‘Dad, what’s that noise?’ His dad smiled and said gently, ‘That’s just Mr. Johnson, our friendly mechanic upstairs.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully then asked, ‘Does he fix cars with superhero tools?’ Everyone in line couldn’t help but laugh.

4. A curious cat wandered into Valvoline one foggy night, its paws leaving grease marks on the floor as it meowed curiously. Suddenly, an old mechanic appeared from behind a greasy curtain and scooped up the feline with a smile. 'Just another night at Valvoline,' he said, wiping his hands on an old rag. The cat settled in for a cozy nap while waiting for its owner—a delivery driver who arrived half-an-hour later, scratching his head and muttering something about a misplaced GPS.'
