About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to Valvoline with his usual box of parts. As he stepped inside, he noticed something odd—an unfamiliar scent wafted through the air, like fresh-baked cookies mixed with engine oil. The smell grew stronger as he walked deeper into the shop. Suddenly, a friendly mechanic popped out from behind a greasy corner and said, 'Morning! Just baking some cookies for our customers.' The delivery driver scratched his head, smiled, and replied, 'I’ll take one—with extra engine oil!'

2. A curious sign caught a regular’s eye one day as he waited for his oil change. Written in bold letters on the Valvoline wall was a mysterious message: ‘Free donuts for the first person who can tell us why our tire pressure gauge reads exactly 3.14 psi.’ Soon enough, an old delivery driver walked in, scratching his head. 'I got it!' he exclaimed. 'Your gauge is reading pi!' The mechanics looked puzzled until one young tech whispered, 'Oh man, he's right.' They laughed and gave him free donuts, while everyone else wondered if their tires were now magical.

3. One night, while waiting for his oil change, a regular noticed something peculiar on the workshop's intercom: ‘If your engine sounds like a herd of elephants, don’t worry—we’ll fix it until it roars like lions!’ Soon enough, word spread around town, and people started bringing their cars in just to hear the mechanics’ cheerful greetings. One day, an old delivery driver pulled up with a noisy truck. After fixing it, one mechanic leaned out and shouted, 'Your engine now purrs like a kitten!' The driver beamed, 'Finally, I can deliver pizzas without waking everyone up!'

4. While waiting for his routine oil change, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if they’ll ever run out of Valvoline?’ Suddenly, the mechanic appeared from behind the hood and replied, ‘Actually, sir, today is our last drop.’ A delivery driver overheard the exchange and joked, ‘Guess I better stock up on my next oil change!’ The mechanic smiled and said, ‘Don’t worry, mate—we’ve got enough Valvoline for everyone until next Tuesday.’ And so, life went on in quiet suburban bliss.
