About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to Ben’s Auto Glass with a strange package in his truck bed. As he walked into the shop, everyone noticed something odd—a vintage jukebox had been delivered for repairs. As it turned out, the jukebox was from a local bar that needed some TLC before its anniversary party. After hours of work, Ben played a few songs on it himself—much to the surprise of a nearby neighbor who popped in for coffee. The next day, the delivery driver returned with a big smile, saying, ‘That thing sure knows how to rock!’

2. One foggy night, a neighbor pulling into Ben’s Auto Glass heard an unusual humming sound coming from inside the shop. It grew louder as he approached, almost like a distant party in full swing. Curious, he peered through the window and saw Ben dancing around, wielding a screwdriver like a conductor’s baton. ‘What on earth?’ his neighbor whispered, but then Ben waved him in with a big smile. Inside, everyone—mechanics, customers, even the coffee machine—was grooving to some oldies blaring from the radio. Turned out, it was just Ben’s way of keeping everyone awake during the foggy mornings.

3. A young mechanic named Alex was working late one Thursday when he noticed something peculiar. As he bent over a car hood, a strange shadow seemed to flicker across the garage wall. Curious, Alex peered around and saw nothing but an old poster of a racecar. Suddenly, his toolbox started humming softly. Turning back to the car, he found that the windshield had fixed itself—completely clear and without a scratch. ‘Must’ve been my imagination,’ he muttered, shaking his head. From then on, whenever someone needed their glass replaced, they’d say, “Hey Ben’s, even your ghost mechanic can do miracles!”

4. One cold winter morning, a delivery driver arrived at Ben’s Auto Glass with a peculiar package wrapped in brown paper. As he approached the door, a strange whirring sound filled the air, causing him to pause and look around. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old clock ticking away from within the package. ‘What on earth?’ he muttered, as Ben emerged from his workshop, scratching his head. ‘Oh, that,’ said Ben with a smile. ‘It’s just my new timepiece for the shop. It keeps perfect time.’ The delivery driver left, shaking his head but grinning, knowing there was always something odd happening at Ben’s Auto Glass.
