About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Valvoline with an odd humming sound coming from under the hood of his truck. As he popped the hood, everyone in the parking lot stopped what they were doing—because there, nestled between two spark plugs, sat a small, glowing bluebird chirping away. The mechanic smiled and said, ‘Well, looks like our little friend here has been singing us a tune!’ He gently picked up the bird, which promptly hopped onto his shoulder, continuing its serenade. The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head. That evening, the whole neighborhood gathered around Valvoline’s workshop, watching as the bluebird sang them all to sleep—a fitting end for a foggy morning adventure.

2. One day, while waiting for his oil change, a regular noticed something peculiar on the workshop counter—a small, rusty keyring shaped like a wrench. Curious, he asked the mechanic where it came from. ‘Oh, that?’ replied the mechanic nonchalantly. ‘It’s been there forever.’ A few days later, another customer found an old coin next to the wrench-keyring. 'Hey,' said a delivery driver, 'I bet those two belong together!' The mechanic shrugged and smiled, replying, 'Who knows? Maybe they do.'

3. One afternoon, a curious neighbor asked Valvoline staff: ‘Why does your parking lot look like it’s full of dancing cars?’ With a twinkle in his eye, one mechanic replied, 'Well, every time our customers leave, their cars perform a little dance of joy!' A neighbor who overheard laughed and said, 'I’ll believe that when I see my car do the same after its next service.'

4. While waiting for his oil change one Saturday, a regular overheard two mechanics whispering: ‘Did you see that new license plate?’ Curious, he approached and saw it read: ‘Oil Done!’ A delivery driver then joked, ‘Must be some lucky guy!’ A few minutes later, another plate caught their eye—‘Car Fixed.’ The regular laughed, realizing these guys were having more fun than he was getting from his own car.
