Oil Changers

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching their legs, an old Ford pickup pulled into Oil Changers garage. The regulars noticed it wasn’t just any truck—it had a mysterious neon sign blinking from its roof. As the mechanic approached, the neon sign spelled out ‘Need Oil Change?’ in flickering letters. With a chuckle, he flipped the sign around to read ‘No Oil Change Needed,’ revealing it was just a practical joke by one of the neighborhood pranksters. A regular waved him inside with a smile, saying, ‘Hey, Joe—looks like you’ve got another customer!’

2. At closing time one night, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does your sign say “Open until midnight” if you close at eleven?’ The owner smiled and replied, 'Well, my sign is from last year when I used to stay open later.' The delivery driver nodded knowingly, then added with a twinkle in his eye, 'Guess I'll just have to come back tomorrow!'

3. At lunchtime, when the garage was quiet, a mechanic noticed something odd. A small dog kept appearing from behind the oil drums and waving its paw as if trying to signal someone. Curious, the mechanic followed the little fellow around the workshop. Turns out, the dog was leading him to an old toolbox filled with snacks—a secret stash left there by a regular customer. From then on, whenever anyone needed their oil changed, they’d hear a distant bark in the distance.

4. At midnight, when Oil Changers was already closed for the day, a delivery driver pulled up and heard a strange humming noise coming from inside. He peered through the window and saw nothing but shadows moving around under the lights. Curious, he opened the door—only to see an old mechanic dancing to his own playlist, surrounded by oil-stained shadows of cars. ‘Just checking my wiring,’ chuckled the man, not realizing anyone had seen him. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and smiling, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll order online.’
