About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Valvoline, a delivery driver once reported hearing an eerie humming sound coming from under the hood of every car he serviced. The noise grew louder with each oil change until one day it seemed to sing a familiar tune… …until one day, while listening intently, he recognized it as his favorite childhood lullaby. Turns out, the mechanic had recorded the song on the dipstick and forgotten about it years ago. Everyone had a good laugh, and now customers leave their cars there just for the nostalgic serenade.
2. At Valvoline, a small dog frequently appeared during nighttime oil changes, sniffing curiously around the mechanics' tools and wagging its tail when they smiled. No one knew where it came from or why it chose that spot. One night, an old delivery driver arrived with his truck's engine making strange noises. The mechanics worked late into the evening, and finally, after changing the oil, they noticed the little dog had followed him in. It sat next to the driver’s seat, watching intently as if waiting for something. When asked what he was doing there, the driver shrugged, ‘He always comes along on Thursdays.’
3. At Valvoline, every morning at exactly 8 AM, a mysterious old man in a trench coat would appear and ask for a tire rotation—even though he never owned a car. One day, a delivery driver mentioned it to his coworkers, who decided to hide his ‘car’ outside—a rusty bicycle with no tires at all. The next morning, Valvoline’s staff found themselves rotating invisible wheels on thin air. It became their little secret until one employee’s kid blurted out, ‘Grandpa, why do you always get your bike fixed here?’
4. At Valvoline, a mechanic swears he saw a ghostly figure wiping down cars late one night. One evening, an old delivery driver mentioned seeing the same figure polishing headlights so carefully it took him ages to leave. Turned out it was just an enthusiastic new intern, cleaning up after hours—who’d been practicing his best customer service smile in the mirror ever since.
