About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kwik Kar Lube & Tube, customers often noticed an odd occurrence late at night. A regular would pull up in his old pickup truck, chat briefly with the mechanic, then leave without paying. The next morning, his truck would be fixed—even though he never returned for service. One day, a delivery driver pulled up and asked for oil change. Mechanic nodded, worked through the night. Next morning, truck was spotless—but no one owed anything. Months later, during heavy rain, everyone saw the truck driving down the street, its owner waving cheerfully from the passenger seat. Turned out, it belonged to the mechanic’s brother-in-law.

2. At Kwik Kar Lube & Tube, one day a little girl pointed excitedly and asked her dad, ‘Daddy, why does that tire look like it’s dancing?’ The dad smiled and explained gently, ‘Honey, that’s just an old tire with a flat spot.’ A nearby mechanic overheard and chuckled, saying, ‘That tire’s been here so long, it probably thinks it’s on Broadway!’

3. At Kwik Kar Lube & Tube, early mornings were usually quiet, but one foggy dawn, a delivery driver kept honking his horn. Customers looked out their windows curiously as a small dog emerged from under the hood of his truck, wagging its tail and licking everyone’s tires. The delivery driver scratched his head in surprise, while the little dog continued to dance around, sniffing the oil puddles. A neighbor, noticing the commotion, popped his head out and offered some water. The dog drank eagerly, then bounded over to greet everyone with wagging tail and happy bark. Finally, someone suggested it was time for breakfast—after all, no one had seen the owner since the early-morning chaos began.

4. At Kwik Kar Lube & Tube, one day a delivery driver pulled up with a strange package marked ‘Top Secret’. His dog, usually indifferent to deliveries, suddenly barked excitedly and jumped into the truck bed. The mechanic opened it curiously—inside was just a tube of lipstick and a note: ‘For your lady customers.’ Everyone laughed when they saw the dog’s proud expression in the surveillance footage.
