About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up outside Harborne Accident Repair Centre one morning, his truck loaded with parts. As he unloaded, he noticed something strange: every time he placed an item on the ground, it would roll towards the entrance of the workshop, as if being gently nudged from within. Finally, curious and a bit spooked, our delivery driver decided to enter the workshop. Inside, everything was neatly arranged—until he saw the old mechanic, dozing in his chair, gently pushing items with his foot. ‘Morning,’ said the mechanic, blinking sleepily. ‘Just helping you out a little.’

2. A regular walked into the Harborne Accident Repair Centre and asked, ‘Why does it smell like bacon here?’ The mechanic shrugged, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Smith’s secret ingredient.’ A delivery driver then entered and complained, 'This place is a mess!' The mechanic smiled, 'That’s just Mr. Smith’s special cleaning technique.'

3. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching in their beds, an old Ford rumbled into the Harborne Accident Repair Centre's yard. The garage door opened with a groan, revealing a shadowy figure who called out: 'Anyone here? I think my headlights are pointing south.' A sleepy mechanic emerged from behind a toolbox and replied, ‘They always do that when you leave them on too long.’ He grinned and added, ‘Just give me ten minutes, mate.’ And so began another day at Harborne Accident Repair Centre—where even headlights sometimes get lost on their way home.

4. At dusk, a neighbor passing by Harborne Accident Repair Centre noticed something odd—a faint humming sound like distant bees followed him home. But where did it come from? The next day, no one could hear anything unusual—just the usual buzz of conversation and tools in the workshop. The neighbor joked that maybe his imagination was playing tricks on him. Then, as he walked past again later that week, he swore he saw a tiny sign above the entrance reading ‘Humming Since 1987.’
