About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning at TF Auto, a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he backed out of the garage, his truck’s headlights illuminated an old tire swing hanging from the ceiling. Curious kids had been using it after hours without anyone noticing. As it turned out, the tire swing was there for years—an inside joke between the owner and his neighbors who used to hang out in the workshop late at night. The next day, a regular customer walked in with a big smile, proudly showing off his new tire swing for his own backyard. 'You guys aren’t the only ones who appreciate good ol’ fashioned fun,' he said.
2. Early one foggy morning at TF Auto, a delivery driver pulled up with a box of parts for the mechanics. As he stepped out of his truck, he heard an unfamiliar voice whispering from behind the workshop door. Curious, he approached the door and heard the voice say, 'Hey, mate—can you spare a bolt?' Turned out it was just a neighbor asking for help with his bike. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking nothing more of it until later that day when everyone in town started calling him ‘Mr. Bolt.’
3. At TF Auto, a mechanic once asked an old customer, ‘Why do you always bring your car here on days it rains?’ The man replied, ‘I don’t know—maybe my car likes being fixed in the rain!’ Another time, a delivery driver joked that his truck only needed maintenance when he was running late. The mechanic grinned and quipped, ‘Maybe your engine puffs smoke to signal “hurry up”!’ The old customer chuckled and said, “Well, if my car could talk, I bet it’d say something like that too!”
4. A delivery driver pulled up to TF Auto one afternoon, unloading boxes from his truck. As he walked towards the door, he heard a voice whispering from inside the workshop. He froze for a moment, then shrugged it off and opened the door. Inside, an old mechanic with grease-stained overalls was polishing a tire iron, grinning broadly. ‘Thought you could use some company,’ he said. The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, but couldn’t help smiling back.
