A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Auto Express for routine maintenance, he heard an unusual announcement over the workshop’s intercom: ‘Attention, all mechanics and staff—your cars are now officially late!’ As everyone looked around puzzled, the voice continued: 'And don’t forget to check your oil levels!' The mechanic in charge laughed heartily, explaining it was just their weekly prank on employees. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned being early or on time, someone would whisper, 'Better check your oil first.'
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into Auto Express, puzzled by a strange humming noise coming from his truck's engine. As he parked, the sound grew louder and more insistent—like someone whistling a happy tune from inside the hood. Finally, a mechanic poked his head out from under the truck and grinned: ‘Ah, that’s just Mr. Whistleton, our resident ghostly mechanic,’ he said with a wink. The delivery driver looked blankly back until another voice called from behind him: ‘Hey, I’ve been fixing your truck for years now!’ A friendly neighbor emerged from the shadows, holding a wrench and grinning broadly.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into Auto Express, puzzled by a strange message over the workshop’s intercom: ‘Your engine is singing like an opera star tonight—come back tomorrow!’ The next morning, the delivery driver returned and found the mechanic whistling an aria while working on another car. ‘Well,’ he said with a smile, ‘your engine was indeed in fine form last night.’ The driver shook his head, paid up, and left, never quite sure if it had been a joke or not—a legend that would live on among Auto Express’ regulars.
4. Early in the morning, before sunrise, a delivery driver pulled into Auto Express, curious about an odd glow coming from under the hood. The mechanic peered inside and exclaimed, ‘Oh, it’s just your headlights!’ The driver blinked in surprise—his head was stuck between the engine blocks. With a laugh, the mechanic said, ‘Next time, give us a ring first.’
