About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Dr. Tune & Dr. Oil and asked, ‘Why does my engine sound like it’s singing?’ Dr. Tune smiled knowingly. ‘That’s because your engine,’ he said, patting the hood affectionately, ‘is humming the tune of “Happy Birthday”!’ The delivery driver burst out laughing, relieved and amused. From then on, whenever anyone asked about his car, he proudly replied, ‘It sings me happy birthday every day.’

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Dr. Tune & Dr. Oil and noticed an unusual sound coming from inside—a rhythmic clicking that seemed to match the beat of classic rock playing on the radio. The doctors” eyes lit up as they recognized the tune—an old Led Zeppelin track. They grinned at each other, knowing exactly what was wrong with the car. After fixing it, they played the same song for the relieved driver, who whistled along, thinking he’d just had the best mechanic experience ever.

3. One day, a little girl followed her dad into Dr. Tune & Dr. Oil. As he got out of the car, she pointed excitedly at something on the windshield. ‘Daddy,’ she said, ‘why does our car have a mustache?’ The father looked closer and laughed. 'Honey,' he explained, 'that’s not a mustache—it’s just some oil dripping onto our windshield.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back with another question. 'But Daddy,' she asked curiously, 'why do you always call them Doctors?'

4. One afternoon, a little dog followed its owner into Dr. Tune & Dr. Oil. The moment it entered, the canine froze, staring wide-eyed at something on the wall. Suddenly, an old poster of a talking oil can caught its attention. The dog tilted its head curiously and started barking at the image, as if trying to understand what it was seeing. A nearby mechanic, noticing the commotion, smiled and said, 'That’s just our resident greaseball, Sir Piston.' Everyone in the shop burst out laughing, including the little dog, who finally relaxed and joined them for a friendly game of tail-wagging.
