Mickey's Service Station is a 1935 animated short film produced by

Mickey's Kangaroo which was released later the same year. It was also the first team-up of the classic trio of Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. Mickey's Service Station was directed by Ben Sharpsteen, who at the time had directed only Silly Symphony shorts, and starred the voices of Walt Disney, Clarence Nash, Pinto Colvig, and Billy Bletcher. It was the 74th Mickey Mouse short film to be released, and the third of that year.[2]

The cartoon has been colorized and is available in color on DVD releases.

Plot

Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy are working together at a car service station to fix a broken car. Soon Peg-Leg Pete comes by, and demands that they fix a squeak in his tire. Mickey discovers a grasshopper stuck inside the car. The trio smash several pieces of the car with hammers before Mickey is able to drive away the grasshopper, the car ends up all wrecked and damaged. They then get to the job of repairing the car, but end up hurting each other comically. Donald gets hit in the face with car parts, Mickey having problems fixing one of the tires, and Goofy getting his foot stuck in a bucket before slipping like crazy on a pool of oil. When Pete arrives, the car won't start. They tiptoe away while Pete is distracted. They then watch as the car starts beating Pete up and dismandling itself only leaving the engine intact. The engine chases Pete away, it spins around and rams him in the rear end.
