About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to I K Auto Centre and asked, ‘Why does your sign keep winking at me?’ The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Oh, that’s just our friendly neighbourhood sign saying hello!' The delivery driver shook his head with a smile and thought, 'Next time I’ll definitely bring my camera—this place is full of character.'

2. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching in their beds, an old Ford pickup rolled into I K Auto Centre with its headlights on full beam. The garage door opened without a sound, and the truck drove straight into the workshop, leaving only a note on the windshield: 'Please fix my lights before sunrise.' Mechanic Alex, rubbing sleep from his eyes, took one look at the note and grinned. ‘Finally,’ he thought, ‘someone who knows how much I love early morning challenges!’ An hour later, just as the first rays of sunlight touched the horizon, the truck’s headlights flickered back to life. A satisfied Alex emerged from under the hood, waved goodbye, and went back to bed—only to be woken up half an hour later by a knocking neighbor needing help with his car.

3. A regular customer, John, parked his car at I K Auto Centre one afternoon and walked inside for coffee. As he sat down, another man approached him with a puzzled expression: ‘You know, your license plate spells “I K NEW CAR.”’ John scratched his head, realizing it was indeed true. He looked around sheepishly and muttered, 'Guess I better get that changed.' A delivery driver overheard him and laughed, saying, 'Hey, maybe you should just keep it—now everyone knows you're in the market!'

4. At midnight, a delivery driver approached I K Auto Centre, puzzled by a sign on the door that read: ‘Open for business—bring your own tools.’ Curious, he entered and found an old mechanic hard at work, surrounded by boxes of mismatched parts. The mechanic looked up and asked, 'Need help with something?' The delivery driver replied, 'Just wanted my package.' The mechanic nodded, took out his toolbox, and said, 'Alright then, bring it in!'
