About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Valvoline, a delivery driver once received an unexpected message over the intercom: ‘Your engine is running hotter than our coffee!’ Everyone laughed, but he never came back. Soon after, another delivery driver pulled up with a worried look on his face and asked nervously, ‘Is it true you won’t fix my car unless I buy your coffee?’ The mechanic smiled and replied, ‘Not exactly, but we do have some great deals on oil changes today.’ Everyone had a good laugh, and business at Valvoline picked up even more.
2. At Valvoline, every morning begins with a familiar hum from the workshop. But one day, a soft whirring sound emerged from the ceiling vents—like tiny wings flapping in slow motion. Employees looked up, puzzled, but no one dared investigate further. Soon enough, the humming became a full-blown buzzing, and everyone started laughing when they realized it was just an old bee stuck in the vent. The next day, a delivery driver brought in a jar of honey as thanks for fixing his car—and left behind a note saying he’d never forget Valvoline’s ‘unique’ atmosphere. The end.
3. At Valvoline, customers often wonder why their neighbor’s dog always seems to appear just as they’re pulling into the parking lot. It turns out, the canny pooch was a regular who’d been tipped off by a delivery driver that Valvoline had freshly baked cookies in the break room. Now every time someone pulled up, he’d trot over from his neighbor’s yard for a sneaky treat—much to everyone’s amusement.
4. At Valvoline, early mornings are usually quiet, but one day the air outside grew unusually cold and foggy. As mechanics settled in for another routine day, they noticed something peculiar—an old man appeared out of nowhere, carrying a thermos and wearing a parka despite the warm weather inside. The old man approached the counter with a twinkle in his eye, asked for coffee, and then proceeded to tell them it was on him. Turned out he was just a friendly neighborhood retiree who liked dropping by for a chat over hot beverages. By mid-morning, the place was buzzing again, complete with jokes and stories from everyone present.
