A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Midas garage one morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Hey, why does your sign keep flashing “Trust Us, We’re Gold”?’ The mechanic grinned sheepishly and replied, 'Well, you see, it's our little secret. The gold is actually just an old lamp we found in the backroom.' A delivery driver nodded knowingly, smiling, as he drove off, muttering something about 'golden opportunities'.

2. At Midas garage one night, an employee noticed something odd on the shop’s intercom: ‘Attention, all customers with cars named after Greek gods—your vehicle is experiencing divine alignment issues.’ Curious, the mechanic checked the diagnostics and found nothing unusual. Later that evening, a regular customer—a delivery driver—picked up his truck named Zeus. He joked, ‘Guess my chariot needs some extra ointment.’ The next day, another voice came over the intercom: 'Customers whose vehicles are named after Roman gods—your vehicle is experiencing imperial tuning issues.'

3. At Midas garage, a mechanic was adjusting brakes when he heard a strange noise coming from under the hood of an old truck. Curious, he lifted the hood and peered inside—only to see a tiny mouse calmly driving the dashboard gauges with its paws. The mechanic watched in amazement as the little rodent expertly manipulated the speedometer and gas gauge. ‘Hey, you!’ he whispered, trying not to scare it away. The mouse looked up, blinked once, then calmly drove the truck out of the garage, leaving the mechanic standing there, scratching his head. A few minutes later, a delivery driver walked in, complaining about his truck’s erratic behavior.

4. At Midas garage, a mechanic was tightening bolts late into the night when he suddenly heard a voice over the workshop radio. 'Attention, all mechanics,' it said, 'your services are urgently required in the waiting room.' The mechanic rushed out and found an old lady sitting nervously in the waiting area. ‘I’ve been here for ages,’ she whispered, ‘just waiting for my car to be fixed.’ The mechanic laughed: ‘Ma’am, your car’s been here longer than you!’
