About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to Bolton Oil Change with something unusual in his truck bed—a mysterious wooden crate wrapped in brown paper. As he approached the counter, no one noticed him whispering, ‘This better work.’ The mechanic opened the crate and found a small, sleepy kitten. With a smile, he said, 'Well, looks like someone's new pet needs its first oil change!' The delivery driver shrugged, 'Ain't my cat.' And so, the kitten became a regular customer, always arriving for its check-ups with Bolton Oil Change.

2. A neighbor stopped by Bolton Oil Change one afternoon and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, why does your sign keep waving at me?’ The mechanic grinned sheepishly and replied, ‘Oh, that’s just old Mr. Bolton’s ghost. He used to own this place and he never left.’ The neighbor nodded knowingly, then added, ‘I see him every time I drive past too—waving like mad!’

3. One day, a regular walked in and asked the mechanic, 'How come your oil always smells like donuts?' The mechanic scratched his head and replied, ‘Well, I guess it’s because my wife bakes them every morning for the crew!’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘That explains why you’re so cheerful when I drop off supplies!’ The regular laughed heartily, and everyone left Bolton Oil Change with a smile.

4. At closing time, the mechanic turned off the lights but left the radio on. Over the static came a voice: ‘Anyone here know how to change a transmission?’ The mechanic shrugged and replied into the silence, ‘I can try, but it’s been a while since I changed one.’ Out in the parking lot, an old man with grease-stained overalls walked up and said, ‘Son, give me your tools—this is easier than changing oil!’ Everyone burst out laughing as the night grew quieter.
