About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a little boy walked into Valvoline with his family. As they waited for their oil change, he pointed excitedly at something on the ceiling and asked his dad, ‘Dad, what’s that funny-looking thing?’ His father just shrugged, but ever since then, customers noticed strange noises coming from above. Finally, someone reported it to the mechanic, who climbed up and found nothing more than an old poster for ‘Change Your Oil or Die Trying’ campaign from five years ago. The whole town laughed, and now whenever anyone mentions Valvoline, everyone jokes about the ghost of forgotten marketing materials.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to Valvoline one rainy afternoon, umbrella in hand. He had just dropped off parts when he noticed something strange—an old man was standing outside, muttering and pointing at the sky. The old man suddenly looked down at his shoes and started laughing. ‘It’s a sign!’ he declared, waving his umbrella like a conductor’s baton. The delivery driver blinked, then glanced at his own feet—and realized he’d been wearing Valvoline-branded rain boots since last week. A warm smile spread across both their faces as they shared a laugh over the quirky coincidence.
3. A neighborhood cat had other ideas that day. Every morning, it would saunter into Valvoline just as mechanics were starting their shift. One morning, a delivery driver arrived with a crate of donuts. Thinking quickly, he offered some to the cat in exchange for its silence. The cat sniffed the treats, then jumped onto the counter and started munching away while the mechanics laughed good-naturedly. From then on, everyone knew Valvoline was ‘the place where even cats get treated right’.
4. ‘Hey, wait!’ shouted a delivery driver as he rushed inside Valvoline one foggy morning. ‘Did you see that?’ Inside, everyone froze for a second—then burst out laughing. Turned out, the driver had seen nothing more than an old squirrel scurrying across the street. A regular customer leaned over and whispered, 'Welcome to Valvoline—we fix everything but what’s between your ears!'
