About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Loid’s for an emergency fix. As he opened the door, he was greeted by a strange humming noise—like a distant radio station stuck on static. Curious, he glanced around and noticed that every tool in the workshop seemed to be glowing faintly, as if powered by something other than electricity. The delivery driver shrugged it off, figuring old mechanics’ tricks were at play. Just then, his phone buzzed with a message from a neighbor: ‘Your truck fixed again? It must be magic!’ The driver laughed, shook hands with Loid, and drove away, wondering if maybe some good-old-fashioned ingenuity counted as modern-day sorcery.

2. A neighborhood kid was pedaling home from school when he noticed something odd—an old man in overalls was standing outside Loid’s, muttering to himself and adjusting mysterious tools. Suddenly, the old man looked up, grinned broadly, and said, 'Need a tune-up?' The boy nodded nervously. After a few minutes of clicking and whirring, the old man declared, 'All done!' Then he added with a twinkle in his eye, 'Just don't tell anyone I used my secret formula—old coffee grounds mixed with WD-40.'

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Loid’s for an urgent fix. As he waited, someone turned on the intercom with a deep voice: ‘All cars in line, your tires are cursed!’ Everyone burst out laughing, but the mechanic just nodded and said, ‘Yup, seen it before.’ Finally, the repairs were done, and the driver left. The next morning, everyone was surprised to see their tires had new stickers reading: “Made in Heaven.” A neighbor joked, ‘Guess those old tires really needed some divine intervention!’

4. One morning, as a regular walked into Loid’s for his usual oil change, he overheard the mechanic muttering under his breath: ‘This carburetor has more personality than my last girlfriend.’ The next day, a delivery driver dropped off a package with a note: 'Dear Loid, thanks for your honest opinion—your new girlfriend loves cars!' The regular laughed and shook his head, knowing that Loid would never admit it, but secretly smiling.
