About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the shop closed and streetlights flickered on, a delivery driver noticed an odd humming sound coming from behind the workshop doors. Curious, he leaned in closer—only to catch a whiff of burning rubber mixed with something sweet, like maple syrup. Peeking inside, he saw nothing but darkness until his eyes adjusted enough for him to make out a small figure—an old teddy bear sitting on a tire rack, its button eyes blinking slowly in time with the hum. Startled, the delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just an electrical glitch. As he left, he promised himself to bring the bear some fresh maple syrup next visit.

2. Late one autumn night, an oil change technician heard a strange humming sound coming from under the hood of a parked car. It grew louder with every turn of the engine, but no customer had left their vehicle. Curious, he popped open the hood and peered inside—nothing but empty space where the engine should be. Just then, a sleepy voice said, ‘Hey, you forgot to tighten my hubcaps.’ Turned out it was his neighbor’s cat, who’d been playing with the tire wrenches again.

3. In the early morning, before sunrise, a delivery driver pulled up to the Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers for a quick tire check. As he walked towards the entrance, he spotted something odd—a small, dusty box left behind in the parking lot. Curious, he picked it up, only to discover that it contained a collection of old, rusted keys. The delivery driver shrugged and thought, ‘Who knows whose these might be?’ He decided to bring them inside and place them on the counter with a note: “Found in parking lot—claim your keys here.” Later that day, an elderly gentleman came in, fumbling with his own set of keys. With a smile, he said, “Ah, thank you kindly! I must’ve dropped them last week when visiting my neighbor’s house across the street.” The story ended there, leaving everyone with a warm feeling, except maybe the neighbor who never knew why their doorbell had rung so mysteriously.

4. Late one autumn night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers for an unexpected visitor—a curious little dog followed him inside, sniffing around the tires and whimpering softly as if trying to tell some secret. As it turned out, the little fellow was just a neighborhood stray who’d been hanging around the area. The next morning, everyone found out that the tire engineers had adopted him on the spot—now he’s their unofficial mascot, happily greeting every customer with wagging tail and excited barks.
