About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Jiffy Lube, a delivery driver once left an unusual package in the loading bay. For weeks, mechanics found it oddly satisfying to discover a small, handwritten note inside each oil change. One day, a neighbor dropped off a box of old comics with a note: ‘Read these while you wait.’ Soon, every mechanic was trading stories about Superman and Batman during oil changes. At Jiffy Lube, waiting for your oil wasn’t so bad anymore.

2. At Jiffy Lube, a delivery driver once left an unusual package in the loading bay. ‘Just leave it here,’ he said to no one in particular, ‘someone will come for it.’ The next morning, a regular noticed something odd: the package had grown legs and was walking into customers’ cars. Soon enough, all of Jiffy Lube’s customers were parking their cars with doors wide open. A regular commented jokingly, 'Guess they’re waiting for the walking oil change!' Eventually, someone recognized the package as a stray robot vacuum cleaner. The neighbor laughed and said, 'Next time, just use the front door.'

3. At Jiffy Lube, a delivery driver once left an unusual package in the loading bay with a note: ‘If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit.’ Curious mechanics opened it to find…nothing but empty space. Mechanics looked at each other, shrugged and went back to work. Later that day, their neighbor dropped off his car for routine maintenance with a smile: 'Hey guys, if it doesn't fit, you must acquit—just kidding!'

4. At Jiffy Lube, a delivery driver once left an unusual package in the loading bay—an entire potted tree, complete with soil and watering can. No one knew whose it was or why it appeared there. Over the next few days, more packages arrived: a small birdhouse, a bag of gardening gloves, even a packet of seeds. Eventually, a neighbor stopped by, laughing, ‘Someone must be trying to grow a secret garden here!’ And so, Jiffy Lube became known not just for oil changes but also as a place where dreams of green thumbs occasionally got delivered.
