About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Auto Metric and said to no one in particular, 'I swear, my GPS just told me this is where I should get my car fixed.' The mechanic looked puzzled but smiled and nodded, saying, ‘Well, stranger, if your GPS says so, then it must be true!’ A few hours later, the delivery driver picked up his repaired vehicle and drove off—only to realize that he’d been here before for another fix. But hey, sometimes even old cars know better than newfangled gadgets.’

2. One day, an old sign appeared in the window of Auto Metric: ‘We fix cars so well, your neighbors will wonder how you got them!’ Soon after, customers started noticing strange things happening around their vehicles—headlights would mysteriously turn on at night, engines hummed softly when nobody was driving, and tires seemed to align themselves perfectly. Soon enough, a delivery driver came in complaining that his truck had started singing ‘Happy Birthday’ every time he backed up. A regular customer walked in with her car, only for her neighbor to wave excitedly from across the street—her car was now waving back! Realizing they might be dealing with something magical, Auto Metric posted a sign reading: 'Your car’s personality is our specialty!'

3. One night, a neighbor knocked on the door of Auto Metric and asked, 'Do you really fix cars here?' The mechanic looked up from his wrenches with a mischievous smile. ‘Why, yes sir,’ he said, ‘we fix cars—just not the ones that drive themselves!’ The neighbor burst out laughing, realizing it was just another quirky tale from the friendly folks at Auto Metric.

4. A customer walked into Auto Metric one afternoon and asked, ‘Hey, do you guys really tune cars here?’ The mechanic looked up from his wrench with a twinkle in his eye and replied, 'We don't just tune them—we make them sing!' A regular nodded knowingly, adding, 'And if they don't, he makes them dance on the dyno!' Everyone laughed, and the customer left feeling assured that his car was in good hands.
