About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Blaze’s Automotive with a strange look on his face. As he got out of his truck, his dog started barking furiously at something in the garage. ‘What’s going on?’ asked an amazed mechanic, only to see a small, mischievous squirrel scurrying around under the hood. The mechanic laughed and said, 'Looks like our little friend found a new home!' They carefully removed the squirrel from the engine, gave it some water, and watched as it ran off into the nearby park. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Blaze’s Automotive, they’d say, 'That place where the squirrels hang out.'

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Blaze’s Automotive with a worried expression on his face. As he stepped out of the truck, he noticed something odd—all the headlights were blinking in perfect rhythm. Curious, Blaze walked over and peered into the engine bay. Suddenly, from under the hood, a tiny voice piped up: 'Need some help here!' It turned out to be an escaped goldfish from a local pet store, who had found its way into the cooling system. The delivery driver just shook his head and said, ‘Guess Blaze’s fixes everything around here.’

3. A few months ago, a curious neighbor stopped by Blaze’s Automotive and asked: ‘Why does your sign always say “Open” when it’s clearly closed?’ Blaze smiled mysteriously. 'Because,' he said, 'when I’m really busy fixing cars in the back, my sign still needs to look open for good customer service.' The neighbor shook his head with a smile, realizing that sometimes life is just as mysterious—and fun—as an old mechanic's tricks.

4. A customer once asked Blaze, the gruff mechanic, with a puzzled expression: 'I noticed something funny—why does your tire pressure gauge always show exactly 32 psi?' Blaze scratched his head and grinned sheepishly. ‘Ah, that’s easy,’ he said, leaning on his toolbox. ‘It’s my lucky number.’ The customer shook his head, smiling, as he walked away, muttering under his breath about strange mechanics.
