A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kwik Fit garage in downtown Portland, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. A small dog would appear out of nowhere and dash towards the open door, sniffing intently at the tools laid out on the workbench. Curious, the driver followed the little fellow inside. Turned out it was just a neighborhood pup who loved the smell of lubricant and grease. Every day after that, the same tiny canine would show up before dawn, eagerly checking out the mechanics’ tools until his owner finally noticed and joined him for breakfast across the street.

2. At Kwik Fit garage in rural Pennsylvania, a delivery driver always forgot something on the service counter. One day, he left behind an unusual package wrapped in brown paper. A curious mechanic opened it curiously only to discover… nothing inside! Since then, everyone jokes that the mysterious sender is testing our patience. Since then, whenever someone forgets something, they whisper, ‘Maybe it’s another test from Kwik Fit!’ And every now and then, when things get really busy, someone will leave out a tiny note saying simply, “Just checking if you’re paying attention.”

3. At Kwik Fit garage in suburban Chicago, one night after closing, an employee found a mysterious package wrapped in old newspaper near the service bay. Curious but cautious, he opened it only to discover… nothing inside. Upon closer inspection, there was just a small note reading ‘Happy Birthday!’ and a bag of donuts. Turns out, a friendly neighborhood mechanic had left them as a surprise for his co-workers. Everyone had a good laugh and enjoyed their sweet treat before heading home.

4. At Kwik Fit garage in small-town Ohio, whenever a mechanic left through the service bay door, a tiny grey kitten would appear from nowhere and follow him home. One day, an old delivery driver was leaving after fixing a truck’s brakes when the kitten darted out again. He joked, ‘Finally got you, little stowaway!’ But instead of running off, she climbed onto his shoulder and settled down for the walk home. For weeks, everyone saw them together—until one morning, the shop owner found her sleeping on his desk with a note: “Thanks for the free ride!”
