About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kim’s Auto Repair one morning, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Hey, why does Mr. Kim always greet us with a smile and a joke?’ Mr. Kim just loves making people laugh,” replied an old mechanic with a twinkle in his eye. “He says it keeps him young and helps pass the time between oil changes.” The delivery driver nodded knowingly, smiling as he thought of the strange yet charming man who always greeted them with a joke—and maybe even a free donut.

2. At Kim’s Auto Repair & Body Shop, every afternoon around three, a faint humming sound would start coming from the workshop. Noises like that were commonplace, but this one had everyone scratching their heads—until one day, an old mechanic noticed it matched the exact pitch of his favorite coffee maker back home. Soon enough, everyone in town started bringing their cars here just for that hum. One regular even asked if they could leave their vehicle overnight so he could hear it all night long. Turned out, it was just the old coffee maker, playing its own version of ‘shop music.’

3. At Kim’s Auto Repair & Body Shop, on any given Tuesday, a mysterious voice crackles over the intercom: 'And don’t forget to check your tires for little green men!' Regulars laugh it off, but some neighbors swear they’ve seen strange footprints outside. One day, a delivery driver asked Kim, ‘Boss, why do you keep these alien-themed tools?’ Kim winked and replied, ‘For when the real aliens come back for their spaceship!’ The whole place erupted in laughter, and everyone knew that, at Kim’s, even fixing cars was an adventure.

4. At Kim’s Auto Repair & Body Shop, once in a while after closing hours, an old cassette tape starts playing faintly from inside the workshop. Nobody knows whose it is or what song comes next. One night, a delivery driver heard the music and thought it was his favorite song. He danced around the workshop, attracting everyone’s attention. Turns out, it was just some random tune from the ’80s. Since then, whenever someone hears that cassette, they can’t help but bust a move—even if it’s just a little shimmy.
