About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Aloha Auto Repair, a regular always parked in the same spot and brought his own snacks. One morning, as he adjusted his radio antenna, an unusual message crackled over the shop’s intercom: ‘Your antenna is now three inches taller than your car.’ The mechanic looked up from under the hood and laughed, 'Sir, you're holding it too high!' The regular sheepishly lowered the antenna, realizing he'd been standing on tiptoes for the whole time. From then on, everyone at Aloha Auto Repair kept a spare ruler next to the intercom—just in case.

2. At Aloha Auto Repair, customers often wondered why one particular delivery driver always seemed to arrive exactly when the shop opened. Was it mere coincidence or something more? It turned out that the mysterious delivery driver was actually a neighbor who lived above the garage. Every morning he would throw his packages down from the window just as the shop opened—saving himself a trip downstairs and making him look like some kind of automotive ninja.

3. At Aloha Auto Repair, a mechanic once joked that every time he fixed someone’s headlights, they started shining brighter than ever before—even when it wasn’t nighttime anymore. One day, a delivery driver dropped off his truck with a funny noise. The mechanic worked his magic and declared everything fixed. Months later, during broad daylight, the driver called again complaining his horn was honking non-stop. Turned out, the mechanic had accidentally connected the headlight wires to the horn instead of the brake lights.

4. At Aloha Auto Repair, a delivery driver kept finding strange items left behind in his truck—like an old umbrella with Hawaiian prints, or a half-eaten sandwich wrapped in newspaper dated decades ago. One day, he found a small notebook filled with cryptic notes and doodles of palm trees. Turned out, it belonged to a regular who always picked up his dry cleaning there. The final straw was when he discovered a partially eaten bagel from 1987—clearly someone’s time capsule gone awry. Everyone at Aloha Auto Repair now jokes that their garage is haunted by a nostalgic ghost.
