About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Greg’s Automotive, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the workshop. Curious, he peered through the window and saw Greg, the mechanic, dancing in perfect rhythm with the tune only he could hear. The delivery driver knocked on the door, curious about the music. ‘Greg,’ he said, smiling, ‘what kind of engine makes disco beats?’ Greg grinned back, still swaying, ‘Just another happy customer, mate.’

2. One day, while waiting for his car to be fixed at Greg’s Automotive, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I bet they’ll lose my spare tire.’ And sure enough, when he came back, there were three tires but no sign of the fourth. A delivery driver then walked in with a smile and said, 'Don’t worry, mate—we found your spare tire down the street, leaning against a lamppost!' The regular looked puzzled until another customer chimed in, ‘He must’ve thought it was his new parking space.’

3. One afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled into Greg’s Automotive, he spotted something peculiar on the workshop floor—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspaper and tied with rusty string. Curious, the driver picked it up and opened the wrapping. Inside was an old, dusty thermos filled with coffee—strong, black, and still warm. A note read: ‘For anyone who needs a boost today.’ Turns out, Greg had been leaving free coffee for his customers and staff ever since he’d started the business.

4. One night, after leaving Greg’s Automotive, a customer wondered aloud: ‘Why does it smell like bacon every time I come here?’ It turned out that Greg had installed a special filter in his workshop—one that trapped exhaust fumes but retained the delicious scent of freshly cooked bacon. His customers loved it so much that they started calling ahead to ask if he was cooking breakfast when their cars needed fixing. The only downside? Now everyone thought Greg was half pig.
