About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another day at Valvoline when a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual package. As he walked in, everyone noticed something odd: the box seemed to hum softly. The mechanics exchanged curious glances as the box began to glow faintly. A senior technician finally approached and said, 'Well, I’ve seen strange things here before, but this takes the cake!' He gently opened it to reveal… a bottle of extra-strong windshield washer fluid. The delivery driver shrugged sheepishly, explaining that his neighbor had asked him to drop it off. Everyone laughed, including the neighbor who popped in later for a free wash.'
2. A delivery driver pulled up one morning with an unusual cargo: a mysterious box labeled ‘Top Secret.’ Curious mechanics peered inside only to discover…nothing but a stack of old newspapers and a note reading, ‘For your engine’s peace of mind.’ One mechanic joked that maybe it was a new kind of fuel-efficient vacuum cleaner. Another suggested it could be a secret government project to clean engines remotely. Eventually, someone noticed tiny bits of newspaper sticking out from under the hood of every fixed car—turns out, Valvoline had just started using recycled paper as engine treatment wrappers.
3. ‘Hey, guys,’ said the mechanic as he wiped grease from his hands. ‘Did you see what that delivery guy brought today?’ ‘No way!’ I exclaimed, staring at the box. ‘A new set of spark plugs for our old van?’ He shrugged and grinned. ‘Who knows? Maybe it’s a goodwill gesture from some anonymous neighbor.’ We installed them—turns out they were exactly right—and ever since then, whenever someone asks why our engine runs so smoothly, we just smile and say, “Thanks, Valvoline.”
4. One morning, a sign appeared in Valvoline’s window: ‘We fix cars. Or maybe they fix us.’ Mechanics chuckled, but soon noticed something odd—every time a customer left, their mood seemed to improve. Soon enough, word spread around town. A regular dropped by one day and asked jokingly if Valvoline had some kind of secret formula for happiness. The mechanic smiled and replied, 'Nah, just our special blend of oil and good vibes.' That evening, as he was closing up shop, an old delivery driver walked in with a broad smile on his face. 'Fixed my truck,' he said cheerfully. 'And fixed my week!'
