About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when J C Motors closed its doors, a regular noticed an odd humming sound coming from under the old garage roof. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but darkness until one foggy morning, when a faint scent of freshly baked cookies wafted through the workshop. As days passed, more people started noticing the smell. A delivery driver brought in fresh pastries every morning, thinking it was his lucky spot. Finally, an old mechanic revealed that his grandma used to bake treats for him here decades ago. Now, whenever someone fixes their car at J C Motors, they get a free cookie—and everyone knows whose car needs fixing most often.

2. At midnight, when J C Motors switched off its neon sign, a delivery driver heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Your engine’s humming like a bee, but don’t worry—we’ll fix it with a wave of our magic wrench.’ The next morning, no one could find any trace of the mechanic or his magical wrench. But ever since that night, whenever someone brought their car in for an oil change, they’d hear a soft hum from behind the workshop walls—and everything always ran smoother after leaving J C Motors.

3. Late one night, as J C Motors flickered into sleep, a delivery driver pulled up in front of the closed garage. He got out and stretched, only to notice something strange—an old tire swinging gently from the rafters, as if someone had been waiting. Curious, he walked closer and noticed an old toolbox half-opened beneath it. Inside lay a rusty wrench with a note attached: ‘Use me wisely.’ The delivery driver smiled, thinking, ‘Whoever left this must be a regular around here.’ With that, he fixed his truck and drove off, leaving behind a smile on the face of J C Motors’ sleeping owner.

4. Late one night, as J C Motors flickered into sleep, a neighbor’s dog began howling uncontrollably whenever it passed the workshop's entrance. Finally, someone suggested that maybe the dog was just attracted to the old radio in the workshop. Sure enough, when they moved the radio, the howling stopped immediately. From then on, J C Motors became known not only for fixing cars but also for its curious canine fan club.
