About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Valvoline and noticed something odd—a strange humming sound coming from inside the workshop. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw an old mechanic dancing to an invisible tune while tightening a bolt. The delivery driver knocked on the door, thinking maybe the music was too loud for the old man to hear. To his surprise, the mechanic stopped mid-dance, looked around blankly, then went back to work as if nothing had happened. A few minutes later, a neighbor walked in, whistling cheerfully, and nobody questioned it anymore. That’s just how things are at Valvoline—where mechanics dance when no one’s watching.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Valvoline and noticed something odd—a strange man in coveralls was whispering into his cell phone while working on a car. ‘Hey,’ called out the driver, ‘you’re not supposed to be talking on that thing!’ The mechanic looked up, grinned sheepishly, and replied, “It’s not what you think—it’s just my robot co-worker teaching me new tricks.” Suddenly, the robot interrupted its lesson with a beep and started scanning the car with its laser eyes. 'Oh no,' whispered the mechanic, 'looks like I missed an oil leak.' He turned back to the delivery driver, grinning again, and said, 'Guess I'll have to fix it before my robot friend judges me!'

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Valvoline and noticed something odd—an old man whispering to himself while waiting for his oil change. ‘What’s he talking about?’ wondered the driver. The mechanic shrugged, but when the old fellow finished muttering and walked away, everyone in line heard him say, “Finally, they’re listening…” Later that week, another delivery guy saw an older gentleman leaving with a big smile on his face. 'Hey,' asked the driver, 'what did you get here?' The neighbor replied, 'Just some special treatment—they promised to fix everything I ever complained about!' Everyone laughed, realizing maybe it was just good ol' Valvoline magic.

4. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up to Valvoline and noticed something odd—a strange noise coming from under the hood of an old truck parked next door. Curious, he walked over and peered inside the truck’s engine bay. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman emerged from behind the wheel, wiping his hands on a greasy rag. ‘Just checking my oil,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye. The delivery driver exchanged knowing smiles with him—obviously, both were regulars here—and drove off, thinking, 'Guess Valvoline really does know best!'
