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 into the bay, his phone would mysteriously start playing ‘Happy Birthday’—even when no one had called him. Employees tried everything from changing batteries to resetting settings, but the song kept crooning like clockwork. One day, an old neighbor walked in and asked if anyone knew why their car always seemed to be singing along to ‘Happy Birthday.’ It turned out the radio was just stuck on that track—and everyone at Jiffy Lube now hums it whenever they see the customer pull up.

2. At Jiffy Lube, a regular complained one day, ‘Why does it always take longer for my oil change than the guy next to me?’ ‘I don’t know,’ replied the mechanic with a smile. ‘Maybe he drives an old jalopy that needs more love and attention.’ The regular nodded thoughtfully, then added, ‘Or maybe his car is just better friends with the air-conditioning!’

3. At Jiffy Lube, a neighbor stopped in one morning and asked the mechanic, 'Do you ever see anything strange around here?' The mechanic shrugged, noticing nothing unusual. The mechanic shook his head and said, ‘Not really, just cars and oil.’ Later that day, an old delivery driver walked in and quipped, ‘Hey, didja hear? They found Bigfoot’s tire tracks outside!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the mechanic who finally admitted, ‘Okay, maybe I do see something strange…’

4. At Jiffy Lube, an owner’s dog started behaving oddly whenever its owner dropped off his car. Every time the mechanic looked up from under the hood, there was the pooch, staring intently with a puzzled expression. Finally, one day the manager noticed and asked the curious canine what he wanted. With a wagging tail, the dog pointed towards the waiting room where his owner’s friend—a regular—was reading a magazine. Turns out, the dog just missed him! Since then, Jiffy Lube became known for their friendly four-legged visitors.
