A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Formula One Autocentres closed its doors, a regular noticed something peculiar. His dog started barking uncontrollably whenever they drove past, pointing eagerly towards the empty parking lot. Curious, the man parked nearby and watched as his dog continued to bark hysterically. Suddenly, an old mechanic emerged from the shadows, waving a greasy rag and yelling, ‘Hey, quiet that mutt down! We’re trying to sleep!’

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Formula One Autocentres with an urgent job. As he stepped out of his truck, he heard a familiar voice calling from inside the garage: 'Hey, mate! Need some help?' Turns out it was just their night watchman, a regular guy who liked to chat while working. The driver joked, ‘Mate, you’re always here when I need you!’ To which the old fella replied, ‘That’s because I’m the only one awake during your late-night deliveries.’ They both laughed, and soon enough, the car was fixed—just in time for breakfast together.
