About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights of Mobil 1 Lube Express flickered on, a regular noticed something peculiar. Every Tuesday, just after closing, an eerie humming sound would drift from under the hood of one of the parked cars. Curious, the mechanic peeked inside and found nothing unusual—until he noticed that the car’s owner, a delivery driver, had left his radio tuned to a late-night talk show. The humming was actually the DJ’s monologue, echoing through the engine compartment. From then on, every Tuesday, the crew gathered around the car during closing time for a little ‘radio therapy’ before locking up.

2. One morning, while a little girl played near the Mobil 1 Lube Express, she giggled as a squirrel scurried into view, carrying something shiny in its paws. The squirrel paused for a moment, then suddenly darted towards an open toolbox, dropping the mysterious object inside. A mechanic, noticing the commotion, chuckled and said, 'Another day, another squirrelly adventure!' The little girl laughed along, oblivious to the tiny furry intruder’s antics.

3. One foggy morning, as the Mobil 1 Lube Express sign blinked on, a delivery driver noticed something odd: an old calendar behind the counter showed February 1987, but it was clearly November 2023. Curious, he asked the mechanic who just popped out from under a car: ‘Hey, mate, why’s your calendar stuck in 1987?’ The mechanic looked up with a grin and replied, ‘Oh, that? It’s my time machine. Works great for fixing cars too!’ And so, every day since then, customers come not only for oil changes but also to swap stories with the friendly neighborhood mechanic, whose calendar stubbornly refuses to catch up.

4. At dawn, when the doors of Mobil 1 Lube Express opened, a small dog would appear from nowhere, dashing into the garage and then bounding out again with a gleam in its eye. The mechanic, scratching his head, asked the dog, ‘What are you doing here?’ The dog wagged its tail and ran over to an old tire, where it found a tiny bone. A delivery driver, witnessing the scene, laughed and said, ‘That’s just Spot—he always comes here for breakfast.’ And so, every morning, Spot continued his routine visit to Mobil 1 Lube Express, much to everyone’s amusement.
