Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most tire shops were still sleeping, an old pickup truck pulled up to Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers. The regular, Mr. Jenkins, had been coming here for years, but today he arrived with a peculiar request. ‘I need you to do something strange,’ Mr. Jenkins whispered, handing over a dusty tire. ‘This is my wife’s spare, and she swears it’s haunted.’ The mechanic raised an eyebrow but nodded, taking the tire inside. Later that day, as customers left, a delivery driver asked if they could inflate his tires too. The mechanic grinned: ‘We’ll see what our ghostly expert says first!’

2. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a small dog waddled into the workshop and began sniffing around the tires. The mechanic, Mr. Jenkins, looked down curiously as the little dog approached his prized tire alignment machine. With a puzzled expression, he leaned closer—only to jump back with a yelp as the dog suddenly sat up and waved a paw, clearly asking for a treat. 'Well, hello there!' laughed Mr. Jenkins, reaching for a cookie from his pocket. The dog accepted it gracefully and trotted out, leaving behind a satisfied wag of its tail.

3. At midnight, when the streets were empty and quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to the shop with a frown on his face. The neon sign flickered ominously, casting eerie shadows across the tires stacked neatly inside. As he approached the counter, he noticed an old tire engineer dozing off in a chair. With a twinkle in his eye, the man asked, 'What brings you here so late?' The driver replied sheepishly, 'Just needed some air for my tires.' The engineer nodded wisely, 'And don't forget to check your mirrors!'

4. At two o’clock in the morning, when the city slept soundly, a faint humming noise began drifting from the workshop of Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers. A curious neighbor peered through the window and saw only the reflection of stars on the polished tires inside. The next day, an old delivery driver stopped by with a smile. ‘Hey,’ he said, ‘I heard your place was open all night.’ The mechanic laughed, shaking his head. ‘Just our little secret, mate—keeps us busy!’
