About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Valvoline for an oil change, he heard someone shout from inside: ‘Hey, pal! Your engine’s singing like a canary!’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw no one. Then, out of the blue, an old mechanic popped his head out from under the hood and laughed: 'Just my way of saying hello, mate!' The driver relaxed, shook hands with the gruff yet friendly guy, and left with a smile—now knowing that Valvoline wasn’t just any garage.
2. A curious neighbor asked one day, ‘Why does it always smell like chocolate chip cookies when I drive past Valvoline?’ The owner smiled and whispered, ‘We bake fresh cookies every morning for our regulars.’ The neighbor shook his head with a laugh, realizing he’d been fooled by the sweet aroma of kindness.
3. While waiting for his car's service, a regular noticed something unusual on the workshop counter—a small jar labeled ‘Special Blend.’ Curious, he asked what it was. The mechanic smiled and replied, ‘Just our secret recipe for attracting customers!’ A delivery driver overheard this and decided to test their luck. He came back later with a broken tail light, claiming it needed fixing urgently. Sure enough, after some quick work under the hood, he received a free bottle of 'Special Blend.' As he drove off, everyone in the workshop heard him muttering, 'I’ll never get a ticket again!'
4. One afternoon, while a little girl waited with her family for their car’s service, she tilted her head curiously and whispered, ‘Mom, why do they keep talking in funny voices?’ Her mom smiled and explained softly, 'They're just trying different accents to sound like characters from our favorite movie.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then giggled as one mechanic suddenly started speaking like a robot. It turned out he was just greeting a delivery driver who’d ordered pizza!'
