About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Express Lube and noticed an odd sound coming from inside—like someone humming along with the engine. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw… nothing unusual. But every day after that, the same tune played during oil changes. Finally, one day, the manager asked an employee to check if anyone was hiding in the garage. To everyone’s surprise, it turned out to be just a neighbor’s parrot, who had learned the tune from listening to classic rock on his owner’s radio while waiting for his car to get serviced.
2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Express Lube and noticed something peculiar: every time he slowed down near the service center, his truck’s headlights dimmed as if someone were switching them off from inside. Finally curious, our delivery driver parked next to an old guy washing his car. ‘Hey,’ he asked, ‘your lube place messing with my lights?’ The man looked up, grinned, and replied, ‘Nah, I just like watching you squirm!’
3. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching in their pajamas, an early bird delivery driver pulled into Express Lube. The parking lot was eerily quiet—too quiet for such an essential service station. The mechanic yawned and stretched, noticing a small note on the windshield: ‘Your oil is topped up—thanks for keeping our city moving!’ Turning around, he saw his neighbor waving from across the street with a smile. ‘Just doing my part,’ she winked.}
4. At dusk, a curious neighbor walked past Express Lube and wondered aloud: ‘Why does that mechanic always wave at empty cars?’ The mechanic explained with a twinkle in his eye: ‘I’m not waving at empty cars—those are just my signals for when to change oil!’ The neighbor shook his head, smiling, while a delivery driver passing by muttered, ‘Must be some new code for fuel efficiency.’
