About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Fito Rios’ garage one night, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘Hey, look—your tire’s glowing!’ Everyone laughed it off until the mechanic noticed something strange indeed. The mechanic squinted into the darkness and saw that not just one but all four tires were softly illuminating in the night. They looked like giant neon oranges! Everyone burst out laughing again, thinking it was some kind of optical illusion. But then a regular passing by said, 'Hey, I’ve seen this before—it’s those special glow-in-the-dark tires for kids' bikes!' Turns out, someone had accidentally swapped them while fixing another car earlier that day. Moral of the story? Always check whose bike you're working on.

2. At Fito Rios' garage one morning, an old man grumbled, 'Why does my engine always sound like a party in here?' A delivery driver shrugged, smiling. ‘It’s not your engine,’ he said. ‘It’s just Fito singing along to the radio.’ The old man scratched his head and muttered, ‘Well, I guess that explains why everyone waves at us when we leave.’

3. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching, an old Ford pulled into Fito Rios' garage with a peculiar hum. The mechanic whistled as he inspected the engine and muttered, 'I’ve never seen anything like it.' As the sun rose higher, Fito leaned back, shaking his head in wonder. ‘It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen,’ he said. Suddenly, from under the hood emerged a small bird, chirping cheerfully. A delivery driver passing by laughed and remarked, “Guess that old Ford finally found its own mechanic.”

4. At Fito Rios’ garage one day, a mechanic muttered under his breath, ‘I swear that dashboard keeps changing languages.’ Soon enough, everyone in the garage was swearing they saw the odometer count backwards while no one was looking. One evening, as Fito himself was fixing a car, he heard a voice from behind: 'Hey, Fito! How come my mileage just went negative?' Turns out it was just an old dashboard prank—a little LED light show—nothing more than good-natured fun between neighbors.
