About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Florin’s Auto Repair and asked, ‘Hey, do you guys ever see anything strange around here?’ The mechanic shrugged and said, 'We see some pretty odd stuff around here.' Then he pointed towards an old tire swing hanging from a tree in the yard. The delivery driver looked puzzled until his neighbor walked by, whistling while pushing a lawnmower that had just the right amount of rust for a horror movie prop. With a laugh, the mechanic added, 'Oh, that's just Mr. Jenkins' special project.'
2. Early one foggy morning, an old man walked into Florin’s Auto Repair with a strange request. 'I’d like you to fix my clock,' he said, pointing to a small, dusty alarm clock on the counter. ‘It’s not broken,’ explained the old man, ‘but it stopped working last week when I was driving through that storm.’ Florin nodded knowingly and took the clock. Three days later, the old man returned to pick up his repaired timepiece. ‘Works like new!’ exclaimed Florin, handing over the clock. The old man smiled warmly, then turned to leave—only to realize he had forgotten something important. He rushed back inside, grinning broadly: ‘Oh yes, could you also check if my car is still here?’
3. One day, while waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular noticed something peculiar on the workshop counter: a small wooden box labeled ‘Free Lucky Charms.’ Curious, he took one—and found it actually contained genuine cereal. Smiling, the mechanic explained that it was a little thank-you from Florin for being such loyal customers. From then on, whenever someone picked up their car, they’d find a surprise in the Free Lucky Charms box—whether it was actual cereal or just a funny note wishing them good luck.
4. One afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up to Florin’s Auto Repair, he spotted something unusual in the parking lot—a mysterious toolbox left behind, its owner nowhere to be found. The delivery driver picked it up and joked, ‘Maybe I’ll fix my own car now!’ Later that evening, a neighbor knocked on the shop door asking if anyone had seen their toolbox. Turns out, it was just an honest mistake.
