About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Express Oil Change, a delivery driver once left an unusual package on the counter—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. No note, no explanation. Everyone assumed it was just another forgotten item until… Suddenly, one of the mechanics opened the box and found inside a jar of pickles and a note that read: ‘For your hard work—hope they’re as good as mine!’ Turned out, it was from a local pickle maker who’d been waiting for his oil change.’

2. A neighborhood kid was pedaling past one day when he noticed something odd. A delivery driver had just pulled up to the Express Oil Change, hopped out of his truck, and started chatting with the mechanic. But what caught the boy’s eye was the large box the driver carried under his arm—completely wrapped in brown paper and sealed with tape. The boy crept closer, curious as could be, until the mechanic suddenly reached for a hammer and smashed the package open. Out popped a small, grumpy-looking teddy bear. The driver laughed and said, ‘Happy Valentine’s Day, mate!’ Turns out it was an early gift for the mechanic's daughter.’

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Express Oil Change with a box marked ‘urgent.’ As he walked away, he forgot to take it. Days later, a regular found it sitting in the waiting area, its contents glowing softly in the morning light. The regular picked up the box curiously and opened it. Inside was a small neon sign that read 'Open for Business.' Turns out, someone had accidentally left their storefront sign there. The next day, the delivery driver sheepishly returned, explaining it was his first week on the job. Everyone laughed, and now the sign hangs outside Express Oil Change as a joke.

4. At Express Oil Change, customers often wondered why a mysterious man kept asking for ‘the engine that hums like a bee.’ One day, a regular dared to ask if they had any bees in the workshop. A delivery driver joked that maybe he should bring honey as payment next time. The mysterious man just smiled and said, 'The nectar of engines is what I seek.' Turned out he was just an enthusiastic mechanic who loved his job—and bees.
