About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Metroman one morning, frowning as he inspected his truck's engine. Suddenly, an old man wearing grease-stained overalls walked out and started humming a tune while tightening a bolt. The old man finished with a flourish, wiped his hands on his overalls, and said, 'All done, son!' The driver looked down at the perfectly tightened bolt and burst into laughter. ‘That’s amazing,’ he exclaimed. ‘How did you know exactly which bolt needed attention?’ The old man grinned and replied, ‘Oh, I’ve been watching your truck drive by my house for weeks now.’

2. A curious neighbor stopped by Metroman one afternoon and asked, ‘Why does your sign keep changing colors?’ The mechanic shrugged, puzzled himself. The mechanic shrugged, puzzled himself. Then he said with a smile, 'Oh, that's just my new LED display. It changes color every hour.' A delivery driver passing by chimed in, 'No wonder it looks like you're signaling for a U-turn!' Everyone laughed, and the neighbor left, shaking his head but grinning.

3. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Metroman, puzzled by an eerie humming sound coming from under the hood of his truck. As he popped the hood, a small robotic arm emerged and offered him a wrench with a twinkle in its LED eyes. The delivery driver scratched his head but took it anyway. Suddenly, the truck purred like a contented cat, and the mysterious noise vanished. ‘Thanks, pal,’ said the robot, ‘just needed some TLC.’ From then on, whenever anyone asked what happened that night, our hero would smile and say, 'Oh, just dropped off my truck at Metroman.'

4. One foggy morning, a mechanic at Metroman noticed something peculiar. Over the workshop’s intercom came a voice, clear as day: 'Your engine is misbehaving—better bring it in.' Curious, the mechanic checked the intercom—nothing. Later that day, an old delivery driver brought his truck for service and mentioned hearing strange voices too. Turned out, their dog had learned to bark into a tin can attached to the intercom. Since then, whenever someone drops off their car at Metroman, they half expect to hear a friendly ‘Hey, pal, your brakes are shot!’ from Fido.
