About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Avanza Autos, where mechanics whispered late-night tales, an old timer grumbled one day: ‘I swear I saw that mechanic talking to himself in Spanish.’ Soon enough, customers started noticing too—every morning, around dawn, someone could be seen fixing cars with no-one else around. Then one evening, a delivery driver asked curiously, 'Who’s fixing cars when it’s just you and your shadow?' The mechanic grinned, shrugged, and replied, 'That’s my new friend, Señor Silencio.' And ever since then, Avanza Autos became known for its friendly ghost mechanic who only spoke Spanish—and fixed cars like magic.

2. At Avanza Autos, where mechanics whispered late-night tales, a delivery driver once complained: ‘I keep seeing my truck parked in different spots every morning!’ Finally, someone asked the manager, who calmly replied, ‘Your truck is always parked in the same spot—just like your coffee cup on the dashboard.’ The driver laughed and realized he was leaving it there himself.

3. At Avanza Autos, where mechanics whispered late-night tales, a neighbor exclaimed one morning: ‘Did you see that car driving itself down Main Street last night?’ A delivery driver shrugged, ‘Nah, I just saw it honking at every pedestrian.’ A mechanic chimed in with a laugh, ‘Probably checking for traffic updates!’ The neighbor shook his head and smiled, thinking it was yet another Avanza Autos story.

4. At Avanza Autos, where mechanics whispered late-night tales, someone asked one day: ‘Why does that same old truck always start right up when no one’s watching?’ It turned out the old truck had a secret admirer—a neighborhood kid who’d been practicing his mechanics skills on weekends. Every night, he’d sneak in and tweak the engine just enough so it would always start for its owner. When discovered, everyone laughed and shook hands; now, whenever something goes wrong, they say, ‘Better ask the kid—maybe he knows the truck better than anyone!’
