About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Germanstar Auto Repair one morning, puzzled by the strange sight in front of him. The mechanic’s van had inexplicably transformed into a small garden, complete with flowers and a bench. The delivery driver knocked on the door, curious about the garden. A gruff but friendly mechanic opened up, explaining that his wife had planted it as a surprise. ‘She thought it would cheer up the place,’ he said with a smile. The next day, the garden was gone—replaced by a perfectly functional workshop. No one ever knew why or how.

2. A mechanic whistling an old folk tune bent over a car engine when he heard a voice from behind him: ‘Excuse me, but could you tell me how to get to Mars?’ The mechanic straightened up with a puzzled look on his face. 'To Mars?' he asked, scratching his head. 'Well, sir, if you're asking for directions, I might be able to help—if you're talking about fixing your car!' A regular laughed and walked away, muttering something about mechanics always thinking about engines.

3. One day, while a delivery driver was pulling into Germanstar Auto Repair, he heard a voice crackling over the intercom: ‘If your car is running like a duck, bring it in for a quack-check!’ Curious, the driver brought his truck in for inspection. The mechanic popped the hood and said, 'Yup, looks like you’ve been driving with a broken quacker.' After fixing it, he added, smiling, 'Now your engine purrs like a kitten!' The driver left, shaking his head and muttering, 'I’ll never complain about my car sounding like Donald again.'

4. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Germanstar Auto Repair, confused by the sign that read ‘Open Only When Engine is Running’. The mechanic shrugged and started his engine. The door swung open with a creak. 'Ah,' he said, 'I thought you’d never come.' Turns out, the sign was just an old inside joke between him and his neighbors.
