About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when Brakes Plus closed its doors, a delivery driver noticed an odd humming sound coming from under the old sign. Curious, he peered closer and saw something glowing faintly in the dark. As he leaned in closer, he thought he saw a small green light winking back at him. Turns out it was just the reflection of his headlamp on an old coffee mug someone had left behind. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and went home—swearing never again to investigate strange noises after hours.
2. At dawn, when most mechanics were brewing coffee, an early bird delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside Brakes Plus. Curious, he peered closer and saw a rusty old wrench dancing on the roof like a marionette in a storm. Startled, he called out to no one in particular, ‘Hey, Brakes Plus, your tool has taken up residence!’ A sleepy mechanic appeared, rubbed his eyes and said, “Oh that? That’s just Ol’ Rusty, our resident weather performer.” The story became a neighborhood joke, with everyone greeting each other with, “How’s ol’ Rusty today?”}
3. At midnight, after the last mechanic had left, a delivery driver heard an unusual announcement over Brakes Plus’s intercom: ‘Attention all customers—your brakes are now singing harmony!’ Curious, he approached the counter and asked what was going on. The night manager smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Just our new late-night entertainment feature—when the garage doors close, the exhaust fans hum in perfect pitch!' The delivery driver shook his head with a laugh, thinking it was either the quietest or the loudest car repair shop he'd ever visited.
4. At dusk, when Brakes Plus shut down for the day, a delivery driver passing by swore he saw headlights glowing from under the closed garage door. Curious, the delivery driver parked nearby and peered through the dark. The glow grew brighter as an old radio inside the garage started playing softly, ‘It’s been a long time…’ Suddenly, a sleepy mechanic appeared, yawning, and flipped off the lights. Turns out, it was just him listening to his favorite station before heading home.
