About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A few years ago, a regular stopped by Duke Auto Repair & Service with an old, rusty truck. As he pulled up, someone asked curiously: ‘Hey, did you know that whenever anyone leaves their car here after midnight, it always starts running smoother next morning?’ The mechanic shrugged and grinned: 'Oh yeah, that's just ol' Duke's secret formula—three drops of special oil and some good-old-fashioned magic!' The regular laughed, shook his head, paid up, and drove off. Next day, everyone who dropped off cars noticed their engines purred like kittens. Word spread quickly, but nobody ever saw Duke again—or maybe he’s still tinkering in the garage somewhere, whispering spells over carburetors.
2. Last week, a delivery driver pulled up to Duke Auto Repair & Service and asked, ‘Hey, do you guys ever see ghosts around here?’ The mechanic looked up from his wrench and replied, ‘Nah, never seen anything spooky.’ The delivery driver nodded thoughtfully before adding, ‘Well, last night I heard strange noises coming from your shop.’ A nearby neighbor chimed in, ‘Yeah, and then my dog started barking like crazy!’ Everyone burst out laughing as they realized it was just an old car alarm going off. The delivery driver shook his head and said, ‘Guess I’ll stick to delivering packages and leave the ghost hunting to Hollywood.’
3. Last night, a delivery driver pulled up to Duke Auto Repair & Service in the middle of a thunderstorm. As he stepped out, his umbrella opened to reveal a brand-new license plate holder emblazoned with ‘Mechanic’s Pride.’ The mechanic glanced at it curiously, then looked up and asked, 'Is that yours?' The delivery driver nodded proudly. Just then, their neighbor walked in, carrying a toolbox and muttering under his breath, 'I swear I left my best wrench here last week...'
4. Last night, a delivery driver pulled up to Duke Auto Repair & Service during an unexpected thunderstorm. As he stepped inside, the usually quiet garage suddenly filled with the sound of old jokes and laughter. Suddenly, an elderly mechanic appeared from behind a grease-stained curtain, wiping his hands on an oil-splattered apron. 'Welcome!' he bellowed in a deep voice. 'We’re just finishing up some stories before dinner.' The delivery driver exchanged puzzled glances with a nearby neighbor who shrugged and said, 'Oh, that’s Mr. Jenkins. He does this every Tuesday.'
