Hogan's Automotive

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, an old mechanic named Hogan was closing up shop when he heard a voice from behind the counter. ‘Hey, Hogan,’ said no one, but the toolbox moved on its own. Curious, Hogan picked up the wrench and followed it, only to find himself standing in front of an ancient poster for vintage car races. Suddenly, his toolbox started humming like an old engine, and a neighboring dog began barking along with it. Shaking his head, Hogan muttered, 'Guess I’ll stay open late every Tuesday.'

2. One morning, while Hogan’s Automotive was still quiet and empty, a delivery driver walked in, frowning deeply. ‘Hey,’ he said, pointing at a strange symbol scratched into the workshop floor, ‘what does this mean?’ Hogan squinted at it for a moment, then laughed and pointed to an old tire mark on the wall. 'Oh that? That's just our logo—an arrow pointing to the exit!' The delivery driver stared blankly until another regular walked in, scratching his head and muttering something about 'the same stupid arrow'.

3. One day, as Hogan’s Automotive was wrapping up for the night, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath: ‘I swear, every time I come here, my truck starts purring like a kitten.’ The mechanic raised an eyebrow and replied with a smile, "Must be something in the air tonight, sir." The next morning, the same delivery driver arrived with a sheepish grin, saying, 'Guess what? My truck's been singing country songs all week!'

4. One foggy morning, while Hogan’s Automotive was bathed in eerie silence, a delivery driver pulled up with a mysterious package marked ‘Do Not Open.’ Curious, Hogan picked it up and noticed an old keychain shaped like a piggy bank dangling from the handle. Smiling, he opened the box to find inside—nothing but confetti and a note reading: 'Happy Mechanic Day!' Surprised neighbors later admitted they organized the prank.
