About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Carstar auto repair shop, a delivery driver once noticed something peculiar on the workshop wall: ‘Your car will be fixed when Hell freezes over.’ No one took it seriously until customers started leaving their vehicles there year-round. Finally, someone asked the owner why such an odd sign hung above the workbench. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, 'Well, sir, I’ve been here ten years now—no cars are frozen yet!' The legend stuck around for another decade before everyone agreed that maybe winter was finally coming.

2. At Carstar, whenever a delivery driver pulled up to drop off parts, they’d notice an odd message scribbled on the garage door in marker: ‘Today’s special: fix your car so fast you’ll forget why it broke down!’ One day, a delivery driver saw not one but two messages: ‘Fix your car so fast you’ll forget why it broke down!’ and below it, someone had added, ‘Guaranteed or your money back—literally!’ The driver laughed so hard he almost forgot where he was going.

3. At Carstar, every morning around 8 AM, an anonymous voice would come over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, could your car please pull forward? We’re out of patience today.’ One day, a delivery driver named Alex decided to ignore the message. His truck was stuck in reverse, and he kept backing into cars. Finally, a frustrated mechanic shouted through the door: 'Alex, we get it—your car’s pissed off too!'

4. At Carstar, every night after closing, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from the workshop. No one knew where it came from or what caused it. One night, a delivery driver parked outside and listened curiously. The hum grew louder until he saw an old cat lazily walking out of the workshop, its tail waving like a tiny antenna. Turns out, the mysterious noise was just the neighborhood’s newest DJ, practicing his beats for the weekend party.
