About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dimly lit garage of Johnson’s Škoda Birmingham, a delivery driver once noticed an odd humming sound coming from beneath one of the cars. Curious, he peered under and saw nothing but a small, glowing light that seemed to follow him wherever he moved. The light followed him like a mischievous puppy until it led him to a mysterious button on the underside of the car. Pressing it, he heard a tinny voice saying, ‘Welcome to my secret club!’ Turned out it was just a prank installed by a neighbor who loved practical jokes.

2. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver was carefully loading cars into the warehouse when he heard an unusual sound coming from one of the Škodas. The engine seemed to hum in perfect harmony with the rhythm of his footsteps. Curious, he leaned closer and noticed that the car’s radio was on, tuned to an oldies station playing ‘Take On Me’ by A-ha. By the time he realized it, every Škoda in the warehouse had joined in, softly singing along as if they were part of some secret choir. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and quietly closed the door, never mentioning what happened to anyone—not even his neighbor who always asked him about strange noises.

3. In the dead of night, a delivery driver was meticulously unloading cars in Johnson's Škoda Birmingham when he heard an unexpected voice: "Mate, you forgot something!" Turning around, he saw no one but the empty lot next door. He looked around nervously, then noticed a small red Škoda sitting innocently on the adjacent driveway. ‘Oi!’ he called out, ‘you’re not supposed to be here!’ The car waved back cheerfully and replied, ‘Just giving you a hand, mate.’ And with that, it drove off into the night, leaving him standing there, scratching his head.

4. In the quiet back alley behind Johnson’s Škoda Birmingham, a delivery driver one day discovered an old toolbox hidden beneath a pile of spare parts. Curious, he opened it and found… nothing but an ancient map and a note scribbled in pencil: ‘For when cars become more valuable than their owners.’ The delivery driver showed the discovery to his colleagues, who laughed and teased him for weeks. Eventually, someone joked that they should start charging customers extra for finding treasure—so now, whenever you buy a Škoda from Johnsons, they ask if you want your car delivered with buried treasure included.
