About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Pride & Joy Auto, every morning begins with the familiar sound of tools clinking and tires rolling. But one day, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar—a soft humming noise coming from beneath the hood of an old truck. No one else seemed to hear it, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that the truck was whispering secrets. Soon enough, everyone in the garage started hearing the hum—except for the owner, who insisted it was just his new coffee maker talking. The delivery driver became something of a local hero, always first on scene whenever any vehicle needed tuning up. And when winter came, they discovered the truck had been trying to tell them about its defrost setting all along—it was stuck on mute!
2. At Pride & Joy Auto, every night around midnight, the headlights of an old pickup truck would mysteriously turn on for five seconds before switching off again. One night, a delivery driver asked the mechanic, ‘Who’s driving that truck?’ The mechanic shrugged and said, ‘Probably just some neighbor trying to impress his dog.’ And everyone laughed, including the mysterious truck, which turned its lights on one last time before finally going to bed.
3. At Pride & Joy Auto, a regular once complained, ‘Why does it always take you three days to change a simple tire?’ The mechanic just smiled and replied, ‘Because I’m fixing your soul along with the car.’ A few weeks later, the same customer returned, complaining again: ‘It took you four days to replace my headlight!’ The mechanic grinned: ‘I told you, sir—we’re not just fixing cars here.’
4. At Pride & Joy Auto, a delivery driver once exclaimed, 'How do you manage to fix cars without ever turning on any lights?' Mechanic Joe just smiled and replied, ‘Years of experience, my friend—you learn to see things in a different light.’ The delivery driver shook his head, laughing, while a nearby neighbor commented, ‘Joe’s been fixing cars here since before electricity reached our street.’
