Mr. Lube

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as Mr. Lube’s mechanic was finishing up an oil change, he heard over the intercom: ‘Attention, please pick your car up from bay number seven.’ But no one had reserved that slot. Curious, he checked the garage—and there it sat, clean and ready, with a note on the windshield reading, “Thank you for taking such good care of my baby.” The next day, another customer arrived—a delivery driver who claimed his truck had been serviced perfectly. The mechanic smiled knowingly, nodded towards the empty bay, and whispered, 'Welcome to Mr. Lube—where your vehicle always leaves happy!'

2. One day, while waiting for his tires to be changed, a delivery driver asked the mechanic: ‘Hey, do you ever hear strange noises coming from your bathroom?’ The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Nah, never heard anything.' The delivery driver nodded knowingly and whispered, 'Just wait until you get home tonight...' Sure enough, that very evening, Mr. Lube’s wife exclaimed, 'Honey, did you hear that funny noise in the bathroom?' And thus began an urban legend among local mechanics.

3. While getting his car serviced one afternoon, a regular noticed something peculiar on the workshop’s intercom: ‘Attention, all cars with license plates ending in odd numbers—your service is now even!’ Curious, our regular asked Mr. Lube what it meant. With a twinkle in his eye, the mechanic replied, 'Well sir, today’s our lucky day—we’re celebrating by making everyone’s repairs twice as good!' The neighbor overheard and joked, 'Next time I’ll bring my license plate with an even number just for an extra-special job!'

4. One Saturday morning, while getting his car washed and detailed, a little boy kept pointing excitedly at the ceiling of Mr. Lube's garage. When asked what he saw, he replied, 'Look, mama! There's a giant spider web!' The mom smiled and looked up too, only to see nothing but the ordinary ceiling tiles. She gently explained that it was just an optical illusion caused by the lights. The little boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned back with a twinkle in his eye and whispered, ‘Maybe next time I’ll find a unicorn!’ Everyone laughed, and the day ended with a happy family, their car freshly serviced, and a newfound sense of wonder.
