About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Boston Foreign Motor and asked the owner, ‘Why does your neon sign keep flashing “Service Done” even when no cars are here?’ The old man smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Because, my friend, every now and then I like to remind myself that some jobs really are done.' With a twinkle in his eye, he added, 'And besides, it keeps the neighborhood awake!'
2. One day, while passing by Boston Foreign Motor, a little boy stopped in his tracks. His eyes widened as he pointed at something strange happening inside the garage—an old mechanic was fixing a car using tools made entirely from recycled soda cans. Curious, the boy approached the gruff old mechanic and asked what those unusual tools were for. With a twinkle in his eye, the mechanic replied, 'Son, these are my secret weapons—they never rust, always free, and best of all, no one can steal them!' The story spread around town, making Boston Foreign Motor a quirky local legend.
3. One morning, a neighbor walking his dog noticed something odd outside Boston Foreign Motor. As he approached, his pooch started barking furiously at an old tire hanging from the ceiling. Curious, the man peered inside and saw an old mechanic, a regular, sitting cross-legged on a workbench, humming softly as he fiddled with some wires. ‘What in the world?’ thought the neighbor, until he realized that the tire was just part of the mechanic’s latest creation—a homemade guitar.’
4. One afternoon, as customers were browsing through Boston Foreign Motor’s parts aisle, an old radio started blaring out of nowhere: ‘Attention! Your engine is calling for help!’ Everyone looked around, but no one could figure out where it came from. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked up and said, 'I think I know what's happening—my truck does that sometimes when it's thirsty!' They opened their own hood, revealing a similar message. Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just another case of misplaced radios. Since then, Boston Foreign Motor has become known for its talking engines—and excellent customer service.
