About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver pulled up to Foreign Car Service one morning, puzzled by an old toolbox left on the curb. Curiosity got the better of him—what could be inside? He opened it to find a stack of vintage maps and handwritten notes, each meticulously marked with strange symbols. As he flipped through the pages, he stumbled upon a faded note scribbled in pencil: 'For emergencies only, use key under tire.' The delivery driver grinned, thinking it was some prank. Later that day, while fixing his own flat tire, he found a rusty key exactly where the note said. And ever since then, whenever anyone needed help around town, they’d joke, ‘Call Foreign Car Service—they’ve got a solution for everything!’
2. A little boy walked into the Foreign Car Service shop, eyes wide with wonder as he pointed at something on the hood of a car. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, ‘why is that engine talking?’ The mechanic looked down and smiled. 'That's not talking,' he said gently. 'It's singing, son. That old lady's engine loves classical music.' The little boy nodded thoughtfully, then ran outside to join his dad, leaving the mechanics to their humming repairs.
3. One night, after hours, a neighbor drove up to Foreign Car Service and noticed a sign in the window: ‘If your engine sounds like a herd of elephants, bring it here!’ Curious, he parked his truck and went inside, only to discover that everyone else had already done just that. A delivery driver walked in next, complaining his van sounded like a swarm of bees. The mechanic nodded knowingly and replied, 'Ah, that's our new specialty—when it buzzes like a beehive, we're your guys!' A regular, standing nearby, grinned and whispered, 'I told you they could fix anything.'
4. A regular sat in his usual spot, reading the newspaper while waiting for his car’s oil change. Suddenly, he heard a voice from behind the counter: ‘Sir, your engine is singing like a Russian opera star!’ The mechanic shook his head and grinned, "It needs more than just an oil change, sir." The regular laughed and nodded, knowing full well that his old jalopy was due for a tune-up. As he left, the mechanic called after him, 'And don't forget to bring your dancing shoes next time!'
