About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to C. Faulkner and Sons Ltd, grumbling under his breath. ‘Why does it always happen here?’ he muttered as he climbed out of his truck. A friendly mechanic poked his head out from behind the garage door with a smile. 'Morning, sir!' he said cheerfully. The driver scowled and replied, 'Same old story—my truck's acting up again.' The mechanic nodded knowingly, winked at a nearby neighbor, and whispered, 'Welcome to C. Faulkner and Sons Ltd.'

2. A little boy followed his dad into C. Faulkner and Sons Ltd one Saturday morning. As they approached the workshop door, he stopped dead in his tracks, pointing excitedly at something on the ground. 'Dad,' he whispered, 'look! It's like a tiny dinosaur!' His father squatted down and peered closer. ‘It’s just an old rusty engine part,’ he said, trying to sound nonchalant. But the kid wasn’t having it—he insisted it was a dinosaur, complete with scales and claws. Eventually, a mechanic walked over, laughed, and declared, “That’s our new logo, son!”

3. A neighbor dropped by C. Faulkner and Sons Ltd after noticing their unusual sign outside: ‘Bring your car in for repairs—we fix everything except bad luck!’ Inside, an old mechanic named Mr. Faulkner smiled wisely. 'Bad luck,' he said with a twinkle in his eye, 'is just another part of life we can't control.' A delivery driver later remarked, 'I guess they fixed my engine alright—it's running like new, but now I feel lucky!'

4. On any given weekday afternoon, a deep voice boomed over C. Faulkner and Sons Ltd’s intercom: ‘Attention customers—your cars are talking back!’ One day, an elderly neighbor pulled up with his ancient car. After some time, he asked worriedly: 'Is my engine really complaining about my driving?' The mechanic laughed heartily: 'No sir, it’s just saying hello!'
