About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Tricolor Auto one morning, a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual cargo: a small, brightly painted wooden box labeled ‘Happy Thoughts.’ As he unloaded it, no one noticed the mischievous glint in his eye. As he opened it, out popped a dozen colorful balloons that floated around the showroom, startling everyone. Turned out, it was just a prank from a neighbor who wanted to cheer up the staff on Monday morning. Since then, whenever someone delivers something unexpected, they say, 'It must be another Happy Thoughts package!'

2. At Tricolor Auto one day, a customer growled into the service desk: ‘I’ve got a flat tire and my GPS says it’s here.’ The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘It is here, sir—right next to our sign that reads “Tires Installed Here.”’ A few days later, an elderly neighbor pulled up with his lawnmower stuck in the mud. He bellowed, 'Help! My GPS told me to come here!' The mechanic looked up from under the hood and said calmly, 'Yes, Mr. Johnson, that's why it's called TRICOLOR AUTO—we're the only ones who can fix your GPS problems too!'}

3. At Tricolor Auto one night, a mechanic swore he heard someone humming 'Katyusha' from inside the garage. No one else noticed anything. The next day, when asked about it, everyone laughed it off as just an old ghost story. But late that evening, while closing up shop, the mechanic thought he saw a shadowy figure waving goodbye from behind the workshop door. Turned out to be only his neighbor, delivering some spare parts—who knew he was such a fan of Soviet ballads?

4. At Tricolor Auto one afternoon, a neighbor stopped by to pick up his car and found himself in line behind an old man who insisted on discussing every single bolt and nut with the mechanic. Finally, after what seemed like hours, the old man left, muttering something about ‘Soviet-era engineering’. The mechanic looked at the neighbor and shrugged, saying, 'Welcome to Tricolor Auto—where every repair is a history lesson!'
