About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Valvoline and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, do you guys ever see anything strange around here?’ The mechanic looked up from his grease-stained coveralls and replied, ‘Well, once I saw a car with no license plate drive itself in…’ The mechanic scratched his head and said, ‘And then another time, a neighbor came in asking for oil that glows in the dark—turns out he was using fairy lights.’ They both laughed, and the delivery driver left whistling, thinking it was just another day at Valvoline.
2. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Valvoline with an unusual thud-thud sound coming from his truck. The mechanic raised an eyebrow but nodded him in. 'Better check that out,' he said, already reaching for his tools. The mechanic popped the hood and whistled. ‘Looks like your muffler’s hanging on by a thread,’ he grinned. The driver laughed nervously as the mechanic added, ‘But don’t worry, it’ll only cost you a song and dance.’
3. One night, a curious neighbor knocked on the Valvoline door and asked, 'I see your neon sign blinking red and green—are you celebrating Christmas or Valentine’s Day?' The mechanic smiled and replied, ‘Neither, friend—it’s our special “Valvo-Love” signal.’ The neighbor scratched his head and walked away, muttering something about strange car shops. Later that week, a delivery driver pulled up and asked if they needed any snacks with their oil change. It turned out the shop had a secret tradition of stocking treats for good customers!’
4. A regular drove into Valvoline one afternoon, fiddling with something under the hood. Suddenly, he looked up, startled, as if seeing something strange in the reflection of his windshield. The mechanic raised an eyebrow and asked, ‘Sir, do you see something unusual?’ The man squinted, then laughed sheepishly. ‘Just my neighbor’s cat playing with the wires,’ he replied, scratching his head. The mechanic shook his head, smiling, and said, “Next time, check your engine before checking your mirrors!”
