Bohan's Quick Lube & Auto Repair

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his oil change, a regular asked Bohan, ‘Why does your lube always smell like bacon?’ Bohan smiled and replied, 'Because I add just a touch of bacon grease to make my customers' cars feel like they’re going down the road in a breakfast truck!' The regular laughed and shook his head, knowing that Bohan’s quirks were part of what made him such a great mechanic.

2. While waiting for his tires to be checked, an older gentleman named Mr. Smith leaned against the counter and observed Bohan’s meticulous work. ‘Hey,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘I heard you can tell when a car is telling lies.’ Curious, I asked how he knew. With a sly smile, Mr. Smith replied, 'Well sonny, some cars just look right at ya and say, "Fix me!" while others…' At that moment, Bohan finished tightening a bolt on another car and glanced up, grinning. The whole place erupted into laughter.

3. While waiting for his brake inspection, a little boy walked into Bohan’s and stared wide-eyed at the ceiling. His mother whispered, ‘It’s just old pipes, honey,’ but he insisted, ‘Momma, they’re talking!’ Suddenly, an older gentleman walked in, looked up too, and said with a laugh, ‘Sonny, those are just rusty old fittings, not a meeting of the United Nations!’ The boy nodded wisely and replied, ‘I know, Grandpa, but don’t tell Momma or she’ll never take me here again.’

4. While waiting for her windshield wipers to be replaced, a young woman noticed something odd: every time she left her car at Bohan’s, her dog would start barking uncontrollably when he saw the place from home. Finally curious, she asked the mechanic why her pooch reacted that way. With a twinkle in his eye, Mr. Bohan replied, ‘Your dog just loves my coffee.’
