About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to MAACO and noticed something odd: every time he approached the entrance, the doors would softly hum like a contented bee colony. He mentioned it to no one until other workers started reporting hearing the same soothing melody. Finally, a curious mechanic decided to stay late and investigate. The next morning, everyone gathered around as he opened the door with a flourish—only to reveal rows of tiny bees buzzing happily inside. From then on, MAACO became known not just for their repairs but also for their unique ‘bee hum’ service soundtrack.

2. A little boy walked past MAACO one afternoon and stopped in his tracks. His eyes widened as he pointed excitedly at the sign above the garage door: ‘MAACO – We Bake It Red!’ The curious boy asked his dad, ‘Dad, why does it say “We Bake It Red”?’ The father smiled and replied, ‘Son, that’s because they paint cars here until they’re shiny red like a freshly baked cookie!’ A delivery driver overheard them and laughed, saying, “Actually, son, they bake no cookies—just cars!” And everyone had a good laugh.

3. One day, a curious neighbor drove by MAACO and wondered aloud: ‘I bet they can fix anything—even a broken smile!’ Soon enough, an old delivery driver pulled up with a frown on his face. 'My truck's got more dents than my grandma’s cookie jar,' he grumbled. But inside MAACO, they painted him a brand-new smile—and now everyone jokes that their motto should be 'MAACO: Fixing Grumps Since 1958'.

4. While walking home from school one rainy afternoon, a girl paused outside MAACO. She tilted her head curiously and asked her friend: 'Why do you think they call it MAACO?' Her friend shrugged, grinning: ‘Who knows? Maybe it’s short for “Melt All Automobiles Completely Overheating”!’ They both laughed, imagining cars melting like ice cream on a hot summer day. Turning around, they noticed an old delivery driver waving cheerfully from inside—oblivious to their joke.
