About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one morning, an ARJ Auto mechanic noticed something strange: every time he started work on a certain engine, a faint humming sound would echo through the garage. It wasn’t coming from any of their tools or machinery—it seemed to originate deep within the cars themselves. One day, a delivery driver brought in his truck with a fussy engine. The mechanic worked late into the night, and just as sunrise approached, he heard that familiar hum again. Suddenly, the whole garage lit up—turning out it was just the early-morning radio station tuned to the same frequency by someone’s forgotten phone. Everyone had a good laugh, and the truck ran like new ever since.
2. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to ARJ Auto and muttered under his breath, ‘This place is cursed.’ The next day, a regular asked him why, and the driver replied, ‘I left my headlights on last week, and now they’re still on!’ Soon after, a neighbor stopped by and joked, ‘Maybe it’s haunted!’ Then, as if on cue, the shop sign flipped itself to read ‘Closed for Ghostly Maintenance.’ A regular passing by chuckled and said, ‘Guess I’ll take my car somewhere else tonight—just in case.’
3. Late one afternoon, a neighbor walking their dog heard an odd humming sound coming from behind ARJ Auto's workshop. Curious, they approached and saw nothing unusual—until noticing that the noise seemed to follow them wherever they walked around the block. Finally, our curious neighbor asked a delivery driver for help. The driver shrugged, stepped inside, and emerged with a large box of donuts. Turns out, ARJ Auto had been testing a new soundproofing material—and it worked too well, trapping the smell of freshly baked pastries instead.
4. In the early hours of the morning, a little girl walked past ARJ Auto with her pet rabbit in a basket. Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks, pointing excitedly towards the workshop door. When asked what had caught her attention, she whispered, 'Mommy, look! The cars are talking!' A nearby delivery driver overheard and laughed, leaning against his bike: ‘Oh, that’s nothing,’ he said. ‘I heard them arguing last week about who needed new tires most!’ Everyone chuckled, and the little girl giggled as she carried her rabbit home—maybe believing that talking cars were just another quirky thing about their neighborhood.
