About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Jiffy Lube, a regular once asked, ‘Why do they always turn my engine on while I wait?’ Ever since then, customers swear they can hear cars purring like kittens when they pull up. Another customer, a delivery driver, complained, ‘They must be testing for oil leaks!’ A mechanic quipped back, ‘No sir, just checking if your engine has an accent.’ And ever since, whenever someone hears that familiar purr, they smile and wave to their neighbor’s cat, who thinks it’s his own personal taxi service.

2. At Jiffy Lube, a delivery driver complained one day: ‘Every time I come here, you clean out my gas tank!’ The manager smiled and replied, ‘Sir, your gas tank is not cleaned—we just fill it up with fresh fuel every time.’ The delivery driver nodded sheepishly, realizing his misunderstanding, and left with a laugh. From then on, everyone at Jiffy Lube joked that he must’ve been drinking too much coffee before work.

3. At Jiffy Lube, a delivery driver said with a laugh, ‘I swear, every time I bring in a package, they ask if I want an oil change too!’ Finally, one day a delivery driver quipped, ‘Hey, maybe it’s because my truck always looks like it needs an oil change!’ The mechanic grinned and replied, ‘Well, you know what they say—if you act like you belong here, eventually you will!’

4. At Jiffy Lube, a delivery driver noticed something odd one morning. As he pulled into the bay, an announcement crackled over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, your oil change is now complete—please be advised that your vehicle may drive itself for up to five minutes.' The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw no one else in the shop. He started his truck—and sure enough, it drove itself down the street for exactly three minutes before stopping obediently at the traffic light. A few blocks away, a neighbor waved cheerfully as she walked her dog past the stationary vehicle. The driver laughed, shook his head, and went inside to grab a coffee from the vending machine.
