Synopsis
Pete drops his car off at the service station, and wants it back in ten minutes, or else. Auto mechanics Mickey, Donald and Goofy go to work on removing a squeak from the car, only to find out in the end that the squeak was caused by a tiny cricket. Having literally destroyed Pete's car by dismantling it looking for the cause of the squeak, they now are forced to simply throw the car back together to beat the 12 o'clock deadline that Pete gave them.

Production notes
All of the characters have only four fingers... so watch closely when Pete holds up all ten fingers for his time deadline! His peg leg also switches sides.

Reviews
Mickey's Service Station
Also called Donald Duck in "Super Service". As a kid, I'd invite my friends over to watch 8mm cartoons. This was the most popular and the funniest.
Mickey's Service Station
The best Disney shorts were when they put a Disney character or characters in an everyday situation and let the chaos begin. This one was an early example of them moving away from the song and dance cartoons which they had been doing for so long and into that sort of thing. The antics that Mickey, Donald, and Goofy go through to fix Pete's car are genuinely funny, with a wonderfully loud end. A very good watch.
