About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to R F Diesel Repair and asked, ‘Why does your sign say “Open” when you’re clearly closed?’ The mechanic looked up from his coffee and replied, ‘It’s not closed, it’s just diesel time!’ The delivery driver shook his head with a smile and drove off, while a neighbor passing by whistled and said, ‘That place is always open for business—even if they never actually open.’

2. One day, while waiting for his truck’s repairs, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I bet they’re fixing my engine with diesel from the 90s.’ And sure enough, when he picked it up later that afternoon, the mechanic explained, ‘We had some old fuel lying around—thought it’d be fine!’ A few days later, an older neighbor stopped in, curious about the story. He asked if they still had any vintage diesel left. The mechanic grinned and replied, 'Nope, we used it all on your tractor!'

3. Early one foggy morning, an old mechanic was tinkering in the workshop when he heard a strange humming sound coming from outside. Peering through the mist, he saw something peculiar: a vintage car slowly pulling itself into the driveway. Curious, he walked out and approached the vehicle. To his surprise, it was just an ordinary truck delivering parts, but its headlights were on full beam—obviously misaligned. The delivery driver sheepishly apologized for shining the lights so brightly. 'Must be my new alignment,' he joked, scratching his head. The old mechanic chuckled, shook his hand, and said, “Welcome back anytime!”

4. One afternoon, as a delivery driver approached R F Diesel Repair, he overheard an unusual conversation between two mechanics: ‘Did you hear?’ said one, grinning. ‘What?’ ‘The owner just ordered a new sign that reads “We fix everything except your bad luck.”’ A few days later, a regular customer walked in and asked jokingly, ‘Hey, does this mean if I bring my car here, you’ll fix it even if it’s broken beyond repair?’ The mechanic grinned back, ‘Nah, mate—we still reserve the right to refuse service for cars with really bad owners!’
