About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to City Auto Care and asked, ‘Why does it smell like bacon every time I come here?’ The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Ah, that's just Mr. Whiskers, our resident cat.' The delivery driver looked puzzled until he saw the fat tabby sleeping on an old tire in the corner. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned City Auto Care, they’d say, 'Oh, you mean where that place smells like breakfast?'

2. At midnight, a neighbor passing by heard an eerie hum coming from inside City Auto Care. Curious, they peeked through the window and saw only a mechanic’s shadow moving back and forth—never once stopping or turning on any lights. Finally, the curious neighbor decided to enter, but found nothing unusual—a mechanic diligently working on a car, listening to old rock tunes. Turns out, he’d forgotten his lunch and was so absorbed in fixing a tricky engine that time had flown by. The next day, everyone joked that maybe City Auto Care had its own secret clock.

3. At dawn, when most mechanics were just stretching their arms, an old truck pulled into City Auto Care with its engine making strange clicking sounds. The mechanic squinted at the dashboard, scratching his head. ‘Never seen anything like it,’ he muttered. After a few minutes of fiddling, he turned to the driver with a smile: ‘It’s fixed. Just needed some love and a little grease.’ The truck roared off into the morning sunrise, leaving behind only the memory of that peculiar sound—and maybe a whiff of motor oil.

4. At closing time, an exhausted mechanic locked up City Auto Care and headed home. Suddenly, he heard a voice behind him: 'Hey, wait!' The mechanic turned around warily. It was just a delivery driver with a box of donuts. ‘Late night at work?’ asked the driver with a smile. The mechanic nodded, taking one. ‘Donuts always make things better,’ said the driver, handing over another. They chatted for a moment, then the mechanic went on his way, thinking that maybe City Auto Care wasn’t so bad after all.
