Bullard Auto Repair

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Bullard Auto Repair with an unusual package. As he unloaded it from his truck, he noticed something odd in the backseat—a dusty old toolbox left behind by the previous owner. As he opened the toolbox, out fell a crumpled note that read: 'In case of emergency, use this key.' The delivery driver grinned and thought, ‘What kind of emergency could possibly require fixing my car here?’ Turns out, it was just a neighbor’s practical joke—she’d been dropping off packages for months without realizing her own husband worked there.

2. One day, a little boy walked into Bullard Auto Repair and pointed at the ceiling. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, ‘I think that light is following us.’ His father just smiled and said, ‘It’s probably just the mechanics testing new headlights.’ A few days later, an older gentleman came in with his truck. He asked worriedly, 'Do you think those headlights might be broken?' The mechanic laughed and replied, 'No sir, they're working perfectly—just like they always follow every customer who walks through our door!'

3. One afternoon, while a delivery driver was unloading parts from his truck, he noticed something peculiar in the backseat—a tiny pigeon pecking at the engine block. The pigeon seemed obsessed with that engine block, cooing and fluttering its wings as if it were trying to start the car. The delivery driver laughed, picked up the bird, and gently placed it outside. Later that evening, a neighbor stopped by to pick up their car, remarking, 'That Bullard sure knows how to fix anything—even pigeons!'

4. While waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular asked the mechanic, ‘Hey Joe, how come your toolbox always seems to be empty when I come in?’ Joe smiled and replied, 'Ah, you see, every time someone comes in, I borrow something from them—an allen wrench here, a socket set there—and then they never notice it’s gone!' A delivery driver shook his head and muttered, 'Figures.'
