About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valvoline, a mechanic was deep in concentration as he worked under the hood of an old truck. Suddenly, every time he tightened one bolt, another would mysteriously loosen itself. Finally, after much head-scratching and a few choice words, the mechanic noticed that his toolbox had a mind of its own—each time he closed it, a wrench or socket would pop out and undo his work. With a sigh, he called over a delivery driver for help. Together they decided to leave the truck overnight with everything still loose, betting that gravity would do its job. Next morning, everything was tight as could be—and everyone got a good laugh.

2. At Valvoline, an old delivery driver grumbled, ‘Why does my truck always break down here?’ Finally, a mechanic poked his head out and said with a smile, ‘Sir, your truck never breaks down here—it’s just that every time you come in, it’s for an oil change!’ The old driver scratched his head and muttered, ‘Guess I’ll keep coming then.’

3. At Valvoline, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, look! The engine is talking!’ The mom smiled and leaned closer, listening intently. Soon they both heard it—a soft, mechanical humming coming from under the hood. ‘It’s just the oil change,’ said the mechanic with a laugh. The little boy nodded wisely, impressed by the magical sounds of maintenance.

4. At Valvoline, a customer exclaimed one day, ‘I swear, every time I come here, my gas mileage improves!’ Upon hearing this, the mechanic grinned and replied, ‘Sir, you’re not driving less — we just found your secret stash of premium fuel in the trunk!’ A regular laugh erupted from everyone in the shop as they realized the truth behind the mystery.
