About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Frontier MOT Centre, mechanics often heard strange noises coming from under the hood of one old truck. One day, a little boy walked in and asked his dad, ‘Dad, why does it sound like that car is laughing?’ The mechanic looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing. 'Son,' he said, patting the kid on the head, 'that's not laughter— it's just Mr. Johnson's engine making funny noises when he's late with his oil change.' The whole place erupted into giggles as everyone realized the truth.

2. One morning, an elderly gentleman arrived at Frontier MOT Centre with a worried look on his face. As he walked towards the counter, the mechanic noticed something odd: the old man's car seemed to be following him, slowly rolling down the driveway and onto the lot. The mechanic blinked a few times before shouting, ‘Sir, your car’s not moving!’ The old man turned around, smiled sheepishly, and said, ‘Oh, I thought it was time for its annual check-up.’ They both laughed, and soon enough, the car was happily parked in its usual spot.

3. At Frontier MOT Centre, one day a delivery driver walked in with a puzzled expression on his face. ‘Guys,’ he said, ‘I just delivered a package here, and now I can’t find my truck!’ ‘What?!’ everyone exclaimed. After some confusion, it turned out that the delivery driver had accidentally parked next to a friendly old mechanic’s car, which looked exactly like his own truck. The two swapped stories over coffee while waiting for the real truck to arrive.

4. At Frontier MOT Centre, one afternoon a little dog followed its owner into the waiting area and started barking frantically at the engine of a parked car. The mechanic looked puzzled but approached the car. The dog continued barking until he opened the bonnet—then everyone saw it: a small piece of paper stuck between the radiator and fan, reading ‘Please don’t forget to feed my friend!’ Turned out the delivery driver had left it there earlier that morning. Since then, whenever someone mentions Frontier MOT Centre, people laugh and say, ‘That’s where Rover gets his oil change!’
