About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular pulled up to Platinum Car Repair one morning and asked gruffly, ‘Hey, do you fix cars here or just polish them until they shine?’ The mechanic looked up from his wrench with a straight face and replied, ‘We fix cars here, sir—though if yours needs some extra shine, we can make it sing!’ The regular laughed heartily and drove off, muttering something about not trusting anyone who didn’t know when to stop polishing.’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Platinum Car Repair late afternoon. ‘Hey,’ he said with a smile, ‘I’ve got a package for your robot receptionist.’ The mechanic looked puzzled. 'We don’t have a robot receptionist,' she said with a laugh. The delivery driver shrugged and handed her a small box. ‘Just deliver it to whoever’s here.’ Inside was a tiny robot vacuum cleaner with a note: “Welcome to Platinum Car Repair—now servicing wheels AND floors!” Everyone had a good chuckle, and the neighbor stopped by later that week to thank them for finally cleaning under his parked car.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Platinum Car Repair. The garage door opened with an eerie hum, unlike any sound he'd heard before. The mechanic inside was wearing a hat that read ‘World’s Best Dad,’ and his beard looked like it had never seen a haircut. 'Hey,' he said, 'we’re closed.' But after some persuasion, he fixed the truck in record time—all while telling stories about his kids. As the delivery driver left, he noticed a sign reading: ‘Platinum Car Repair—Because Your Ride Deserves Gold Service.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Platinum Car Repair. The garage door opened automatically, revealing not just mechanics but also a neon sign that read: 'We fix cars so well, sometimes they disappear.' The mechanic looked puzzled as he checked under the hood. ‘This is odd,’ he muttered. Suddenly, his radio crackled: “Hey, Joe—did you ever see my old ’98 Civic around here?” A voice from down the street chimed in, “Nah, it must’ve disappeared again!” And with that, the car was gone—and so was the smile on the delivery driver’s face.
