About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Brakes Plus, every morning begins with coffee and banter. A delivery driver arrived one day, chatting cheerfully as he unloaded parts. Suddenly, an old timer noticed something odd—every item had been rearranged on the shelves exactly backward. The old timer grinned, tapping his chin thoughtfully. ‘Looks like someone’s been practicing their reverse psychology,’ he muttered. The delivery driver just shrugged, smiling sheepishly. Word spread quickly around town that Brakes Plus now offered a unique service—reverse inventory for those who appreciated a good joke.’
2. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching their arms, an old pickup truck pulled into Brakes Plus. The owner, Mr. Jenkins, looked up from his coffee and whistled. The truck’s license plate read ‘Never Fix It Twice,’ and it had been there ever since. Mr. Jenkins shook his head with a smile and waved a mechanic over. By sunset, the truck was fixed—just like always—and its owner drove off with a wave. The next day, another truck arrived with the same license plate, but this time it carried a box of donuts for the staff. 'Never fix it twice,' Mr. Jenkins chuckled, 'but sometimes you get lucky.'
3. At Brakes Plus, they say that every Monday starts with a mystery. A neighbor always parks his van in front of the workshop, blocking the entrance just long enough for everyone to arrive. One Monday morning, an elderly delivery driver arrived, confused and apologetic. ‘I must’ve taken a wrong turn,’ he muttered, as he tried to reverse out from under the parked van. The neighbor emerged, wiping his hands on a greasy rag, and smiled knowingly: “Welcome to our weekly ritual, mate!”
4. At Brakes Plus, they say that every Tuesday ends with a surprise. Just as the last customer leaves, a cat always appears from behind the tire rack. One Tuesday, an elderly gentleman came in for his routine check-up. As he was leaving, everyone watched curiously as the cat walked up to him and meowed insistently. Turned out it was his pet, who had been hiding since morning! The whole place erupted in laughter when the man sheepishly said, 'I thought she’d gone missing.'
