About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Howell’s Automotive and asked, ‘Hey, I’ve been driving past here every day for months—why is that old tire always hanging from your sign?’ The mechanic just smiled and said, 'Ah, that's not an old tire—it's actually our lucky charm. It brings us good business.' The delivery driver nodded skeptically but couldn't help smiling as he drove off, thinking maybe it was more than just a piece of rubber.

2. While waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I bet they use parts from other cars.’ And then he noticed something strange—all the tools in Howell’s workshop seemed to have taken on a life of their own. Finally, an old delivery driver walked in and asked if anyone had seen his toolbox. Turns out, it was hanging from one of the ceiling hooks, winking back at him like an old friend. The regular chuckled, realizing that sometimes even tools get lost in Howell’s peculiar garage.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Howell’s Automotive. The engine roared to life with an unusual hum—a deep, almost soothing tone that seemed out of place in the quiet street. The mechanic raised his eyebrows and said, ‘That’s no ordinary hum, son. That’s the purr of a satisfied V8.’ They fixed the car, and ever since then, whenever someone mentions Howell’s, people smile and say, “It must be running on Howell magic.”

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Howell’s Automotive. The engine roared as he jumped out, carrying a large box marked ‘Top Secret’. A curious neighbor watched from across the street, wondering what secrets lay inside. The mechanic raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you need fixed, top secret stuff?" The driver grinned sheepishly and replied, 'Just my broken coffee machine.' The neighbor laughed so hard he almost missed his own delivery.
