About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Lima’s & Sons for an oil change. As he walked in, he noticed something odd on the workshop counter—a tiny wooden sign reading ‘Lucky Penny.’ Curious, he picked it up and found another one just like it underneath. He showed the signs to the mechanic, who smiled mysteriously and said, 'Oh those? They’ve been here since grandpa Lima opened the shop. Just leave them be.' The next day, as our delivery driver was leaving, he heard someone yell from inside: 'Hey you! Come back for your lucky penny!' Turned out his was still sitting on the counter.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Lima’s & Sons with a strange humming sound coming from his truck. As he approached the workshop door, the smell of fresh-baked bread wafted through the open window. Inside, an old man in overalls greeted him warmly, offering some freshly brewed coffee and a slice of pie. The driver mentioned the noise, but the mechanic just smiled and said, ‘Don’t worry, son. That’s just my secret recipe for keeping trucks purring like kittens.’

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Lima’s & Sons late one afternoon, frowning at the long queue of cars. As he waited, he noticed something peculiar: every time someone left the garage, they emerged holding not just their repaired vehicle but also a bag filled with freshly baked cookies. Finally, it was his turn. The mechanic handed him back his truck and a warm cookie bag. ‘Enjoy your drive,’ said Lima with a twinkle in his eye. Months later, when asked how his mysterious benefactor was doing, the delivery driver shrugged and smiled, ‘He’s still fixing cars—just now, I suspect, he bakes them too.’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Lima’s & Sons early one morning, scratching his head and muttering, ‘How does that old sign even stay lit?’ The neon sign, shaped like a smiling mechanic holding tools, flickered feebly but stubbornly refused to die. A moment later, an old man emerged from the workshop, squinting into the dawn light. 'Good morning,' he called out cheerfully. 'Just giving it a little boost.' He winked at the puzzled delivery driver and went back inside, leaving behind a smile on everyone's face.
