About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an old toolbox left on the workshop floor. Curious, he picked it up and found an ancient map inside, marked with mysterious symbols and names of streets long forgotten. Could it be related to the strange noises coming from under the hood of cars parked nearby? The delivery driver showed the map to his friend, who happened to be a history buff. They decoded the symbols together and realized it was a blueprint for an underground racing circuit from the 1970s! Soon enough, they discovered that every time someone fixed their car at APR Engines, they’d hear echoes of vintage engines roaring in the walls. Turned out, the owner had restored several classic racecars as part of his secret passion project. Moral of the story? Sometimes fixing your car means discovering something much cooler than just a leaky exhaust.
2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to APR Engines & Automotive with a crate of spark plugs. As he approached the workshop door, he heard a voice from inside: 'Hey, where did you park your car?' The delivery guy looked around and saw no cars nearby. ‘I didn’t bring mine,’ he answered. A voice replied, ‘Then whose engine are you delivering parts for?’ The delivery driver shrugged and said, ‘Probably some neighbor’s.’ They both laughed, and the mechanic shouted, ‘Next time leave a note!’
3. One night, while closing up shop, a mechanic heard an odd announcement over the PA system: ‘To the owner of the mysterious blue toolbox in bay three—please claim your property before dawn.’ Curious, the mechanic checked Bay Three and found only an ordinary blue toolbox with no name or markings. The next morning, as he was about to lock up, another message came through: ‘The toolbox has left the premises—thank you for keeping it safe.’ Turns out, it belonged to a delivery driver who’d forgotten it weeks ago. Everyone had a good laugh, especially when they saw him rushing back, muttering something about his boss’s tracking app being broken.
4. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to APR Engines & Automotive and noticed something strange—a faint humming sound coming from inside the workshop. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old mechanic, completely absorbed in adjusting some tiny part. The humming turned out to be just his ancient radio playing ‘Yesterday’ at full blast. With a smile, the delivery guy left a note on the door: ‘Next time, could you turn down the volume? Thanks!’
