About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for his oil change, a little boy kept staring at the mechanic’s toolkit. Suddenly, one of the wrenches started glowing faintly and moved across the counter on its own. Curious, the boy reached out, and before anyone could react, another socket joined in, creating a mini parade towards an old tire gauge. The mechanic smiled, shook his head, and said, ‘Guess today’s your lucky day—we’ll just pretend it was a slow Tuesday.’
2. While waiting for her oil change, an elderly lady noticed something peculiar in the corner of the shop. Every time a delivery driver entered through the back door, their dog would start howling uncontrollably, as if it recognized someone long lost. Curious, she approached the dog and whispered its name softly. To everyone’s surprise, the animal calmed down instantly and wagged its tail happily. Turned out, it was just recognizing an old friend—a retired mechanic who used to live next door but now delivered parts for Valvoline. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee, and the dog became a regular visitor.
3. At dawn, when most mechanics were just stretching their legs, an old delivery driver pulled up to Valvoline Instant Oil Change with a mysterious package under his arm. As he approached the counter, the attendant asked, ‘Morning, sir. What can I do for you today?’ The driver smiled and replied, ‘Just need my usual oil change, plus could you check if there’s anything else in this box?’ He handed over the package, and as the mechanic opened it, out popped a dozen donuts wrapped in newspaper. Turns out, it was his neighbor dropping off breakfast for the staff. Moral of the story? Sometimes your morning starts with an unexpected treat!’
4. While waiting for his oil change, a small dog kept sniffing and barking at the large poster of a smiling mechanic, as if trying to figure out why he wasn’t wearing any pants. Finally, an employee came over and asked what was going on. The dog looked up with a mischievous grin, wagging its tail excitedly. ‘He’s just curious,’ said the mechanic with a laugh. ‘Thought maybe there was a party backstage!’
