About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Valvoline garage, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. His dog, usually indifferent to mechanics’ antics, suddenly perked up and stared intently at the ceiling vent. The mechanic shrugged it off until another customer’s child pointed excitedly at the same spot—an old poster of an oil derrick that hadn’t been there before. Curious, the mechanic climbed onto a ladder and peered through the vent. To everyone's surprise, he found a tiny squirrel nestled among old rags and tools, its little nose twitching as it sniffed the scent of fresh motor oil. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Valvoline, people would joke about the 'oil-squirrel special' deal.
2. At Valvoline garage, one day a mechanic overheard an unusual announcement on the intercom. ‘Attention please,’ said the voice. ‘If you’re waiting for your oil change and own a cat named Whiskers, could you come to the service desk?’ Curious, the mechanic went to check, and found an old man with a sleepy-looking tabby. Turns out, Whiskers was famous around town for sleeping in cars before they were even delivered. The owner of Valvoline smiled: 'Welcome, Mr. Jones—your cat’s become quite the local celebrity!'
3. At Valvoline garage, a delivery driver once asked the attendant, ‘Why does your hose always look like it’s smiling?’ The mechanic grinned and replied, ‘Because it knows our secret!’ The driver tilted his head curiously, so the attendant leaned closer and whispered, ‘It’s filled with the happiest oil in town.’ The two shared a laugh as the hose continued its cheerful curve.
4. At Valvoline garage, a delivery driver once asked the attendant, ‘Why does your hose always seem to be pointing at that old tree?’ The attendant smiled and replied, ‘That’s because our hose is actually watering the tree, sir. It helps it grow strong for when you deliver packages here.’ The delivery driver scratched his head, then laughed and said, ‘I never thought of that!’
