About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Jiffy Lube, a delivery driver once reported that every time he pulled in for an oil change, the radio announced: ‘And now, a word from our sponsor’s sponsor.’ No one else ever heard it. One day, a delivery driver mentioned it casually to his neighbor over coffee. From then on, whenever anyone went in, they’d hear the same announcement—until Jiffy Lube changed their slogan to something less cryptic. The driver was never quite sure if it had been a prank or just another urban legend.

2. At Jiffy Lube, a delivery driver once reported that every time he pulled in during a thunderstorm, the mechanic would greet him with a smile and a flashlight, as if expecting him. One day, an old neighbor walked in soaking wet, complaining about how his tire had gone flat just after crossing the river. The mechanic calmly smiled, adjusted his glasses, and said, 'Ah, Mr. Johnson, looks like another storm-related visit!' Turned out, Jiffy Lube’s roof had a tiny leak only visible during heavy rain.

3. At Jiffy Lube, a delivery driver once reported that every time he pulled in, the automated voice on the intercom would ask him if he’d like to try their new ‘express oil change’ service—even though he always came for the exact same routine maintenance. One day, an old neighbor walked in and asked if they had any special deals today. The mechanic smiled and said, 'Just our usual deal—an express oil change!' Turned out, even the neighbor’s car was on the list of regulars.

4. At Jiffy Lube, a delivery driver once reported that every time he pulled in, the sign above the counter would mysteriously rearrange itself into phrases like ‘Oil Change: Just Add Water’ or ‘Tire Rotation: Spin Your Own.’ One day, an old neighbor dropped by and asked if everything was okay. When they saw the sign reading 'Brake Service: Stop Sign Optional,' they burst out laughing so hard they almost forgot why they came over.
