In The Garage, Fatty Arbuckle and Buster Keaton play car mechanics (who are also firemen). A fairly large proportion of the plot of this film involves everyone getting covered in engine oil.
This starts with Fatty Arbuckle re-doing the window cleaning joke from The Bell Boy (although his version isn’t anywhere near as good as Buster Keaton’s), but after that it’s all new stuff (well, mostly all new stuff). There’s some good scenes on a big turntable, Buster Keaton gets his trousers ripped off by Luke the Dog, and at the end everyone gets in a car and drives away into the sunset.

Notes
1. I watched this on blu-ray again. The screenshots are taken from this copy on youtube.
2. The Garage was the very last film Fatty Arbuckle and Buster Keaton made together.
3. So from now on it’s Buster Keaton only for me.
4. I’ll miss you, Fatty.
5. A bit.
