About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Valvoline, where mechanics often tell tall tales, one customer asked curiously: ‘Hey, why does it smell like bacon every morning around here?’ One of the mechanics, a gruff old fellow named Hank, leaned over with a twinkle in his eye and whispered, 'Simple really—we keep an old pan of bacon grease simmering on low, to lure in more customers!' The whole place bustled with laughter, and even the delivery driver nodded knowingly as he left, muttering something about 'an excellent marketing strategy.'

2. At Valvoline, where mechanics often banter with customers, a delivery driver once pulled up and asked the attendant, ‘Why does everyone here keep staring at my truck?’ The attendant replied, ‘Because it says “World’s Largest Oil Change” on your bumper.’ The delivery driver scratched his head, then grinned sheepishly. ‘Oh,’ he said, ‘I never noticed that.’ A few minutes later, another customer walked over and whispered to him, ‘That’s not just any old truck—it belongs to Valvoline!’

3. At Valvoline, where mechanics often joke around, an old neighbor walked in and announced proudly: ‘I just invented a new way to change oil—no tools needed!’ The mechanic raised an eyebrow and replied, ‘Really? Let’s see that.’ The neighbor then proceeded to demonstrate his invention—a pair of magical gloves that made oil disappear like magic. Everyone laughed until the delivery driver asked if he could borrow those gloves for his next trip to the Arctic!’

4. At Valvoline, where mechanics often test new lubricants on their cars, a delivery driver once pulled up with a mysterious box marked ‘Top Secret Formula X.’ Mechanics opened it curiously—inside was just an old jar of mayonnaise and a note: ‘Try this on your mustard stain.’ Turns out, it worked better than any cleaner they’d seen.
