About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Jenkins pulled up to Vidal Auto Service in his old Ford pickup truck. As he stepped out, he noticed something peculiar—every time he parked there, the radio on his truck would start playing the same song: 'Can't Stop the Feeling!' by Justin Timberlake. Mr. Jenkins thought it was a strange coincidence until one day, while waiting for his oil change, he struck up a conversation with a delivery driver named Joe. Turns out, Joe had been assigned to deliver some music equipment to Vidal’s shop earlier that week—and apparently, one of the speakers was still plugged into the radio jack when they left. The next time Mr. Jenkins visited, he found himself dancing along to ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling!’ as he waited for his service.
2. A delivery driver pulled into Vidal Auto Service one afternoon and asked, ‘Hey, where’s the best place around here to get your oil changed without waiting?’ The mechanic replied, ‘Oh, just go down that alley over there—you’ll see a sign for “Oil Change Express.”’ The delivery driver thanked him and drove off. Later that evening, as he was leaving Vidal Auto Service, he noticed an old man struggling with his car in the same alley. Turning back, he saw a sign reading ‘Oil Change Express’—and realized it was actually just Vidal Auto Service’s entrance! He laughed, thinking, ‘Guess I got my oil changed alright… just not where I expected!’
3. A curious neighbor once stopped by Vidal Auto Service and asked, 'I notice your sign says you fix everything except what?' The mechanic grinned and replied, ‘Well, sir, we fix everything—except happiness. That’s our neighbor across the street.’ A hearty laugh followed as the curious neighbor shook his head and walked away, already planning his next visit.
4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled into Vidal Auto Service with a worried look on his face. He asked the mechanic, 'How do you know when a tire is too old?' The mechanic replied without missing a beat, 'When it starts talking in riddles!' The delivery driver scratched his head and said, ‘That’s deep!’ Just then, an old lady walked in and asked if her brakes needed replacing. The mechanic looked up and quipped, “Ma’am, your brakes are fine—you’ve got rusty wisdom instead!” Everyone laughed, including the old lady who left smiling.
