About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little boy ran into Jiffy Lube, startled by something under the hood of a nearby car. The mechanic, puzzled, peered inside and saw nothing unusual—until he noticed the delivery driver laughing so hard he could barely stand. The mechanic leaned closer, trying not to laugh himself as the delivery driver explained that he’d accidentally dropped off an empty oil drum instead of the real thing. Everyone ended up having a good chuckle, including the little boy who just wanted his dad’s car fixed quickly so they could go get ice cream.

2. A sign above the entrance read: ‘Your engine is talking. Don’t ignore its complaints.’ For weeks, customers pulled up curious, only to hear a faint humming from inside every Jiffy Lube. One day, an old delivery driver pulled in, cranky as ever. He asked gruffly if anyone heard that strange noise coming from his truck. A young mechanic poked his head out and quipped, 'Sir, your engine's been singing for weeks—we just thought it was our theme song!'

3. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Jiffy Lube and noticed an eerie glow coming from beneath one of the service bays. Curious, he approached cautiously, only to hear a faint humming sound that seemed to be getting louder... As he peered inside, he saw a small green light dancing on the oil pan—nothing more than a misplaced neon sign from a nearby bar. The humming was just the air compressor working overtime. With a sigh, the delivery driver waved goodbye to the ‘ghostly’ sight and went home, muttering something about Jiffy Lubes having their own brand of magic.

4. A neighbor pulled into Jiffy Lube one afternoon, puzzled by a strange sound coming from his car's trunk. As he approached the counter, he overheard another customer asking if anyone had seen his missing toolbox. The mechanic looked under the hood and said, ‘Sir, your toolbox is right here in the shop.’ The neighbor’s face turned red with embarrassment as he realized that his own toolbox was sitting on the counter next to him. A delivery driver who’d been standing nearby laughed and quipped, ‘Guess you better check your trunk again before you leave!’
