About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Express Oil Change & Service Center and asked the mechanic: ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in here?’ The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘Not really, but I’ve noticed something strange happens every Tuesday.’ The mechanic grinned knowingly. ‘Every Tuesday,’ he said, ‘the same old guy comes in—always wearing his lucky overalls—and asks for an oil change.’ The delivery driver raised an eyebrow. ‘And that’s it? Just some old dude in lucky overalls?’ The mechanic nodded. ‘Yep, and if we don’t do his usual routine, his truck starts misbehaving. So now we wait for him on Tuesdays.’
2. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching in their pajamas, an old pickup truck pulled into Express Oil Change & Service Center. The mechanic on duty looked up from his coffee and whistled. The truck’s owner, a regular, walked in with a bag of donuts. The mechanic took one look at the truck, nodded knowingly, and said, ‘You’re late again, Mr. Regular.’ The owner grinned, passed around the donuts, and replied, ‘Better late than never, my friend!’
3. At midnight, when the streets of Detroit were quiet as a Sunday library, a delivery driver pulled up to Express Oil Change & Service Center with a mysterious package marked ‘DO NOT OPEN’. The mechanic picked it up curiously but then shrugged and said, 'Whatever.' He opened the box to find a bag of donuts labeled 'Express Thanks'. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood brought their cars for free oil changes.'
4. One day, while waiting for his oil change, a regular noticed something odd on the service center’s counter: a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he opened it to find… nothing but an old note that read: ‘If your engine purrs like mine, come back tomorrow.’ Turned out, it was just a friendly neighborhood mechanic’s way of saying thanks for being such a loyal customer.
