About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to AAA Carolinas and noticed something odd—a small dog kept staring at him from inside the garage. The more he tried to ignore it, the louder the barking grew, until finally, the mechanic emerged with an old shoe in his hand. The mechanic threw the shoe towards the dog, who snatched it mid-air and ran off into the shadows of the workshop. Everyone burst out laughing—even the usually gruff mechanic cracked a smile. From that day on, whenever anyone mentioned AAA Carolinas, they’d whisper, ‘Oh, you mean where the talking dog hangs out?’
2. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching in their pajamas, an old Ford pickup rolled into AAA Carolinas with its headlights off. The mechanic on duty squinted at the dashboard clock, wondering if it was a ghost truck or just another early bird needing a tune-up. The mechanic popped the hood and found everything in perfect order—no issues at all. Just as he was about to ask why the truck had come so early, he noticed a sleepy-eyed neighbor waving from behind the wheel. ‘Hey,’ she yawned, ‘I thought you said I needed new brakes!’
3. While waiting for his car to be serviced one afternoon, a regular named Joe overheard two mechanics whispering. ‘Did you see that new guy?’ asked one. ‘The one who just drove off? He left his license plate facing backwards,’ replied the other with a laugh. Joe smiled to himself and decided to keep an eye out for the mysterious backward-license-plated car. Later that evening, as he was leaving the restaurant, he noticed it pulling up next to him—with the same friendly neighbor waving from behind the wheel. Turns out, the mechanic had been joking, and now they were both laughing together.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into AAA Carolinas to drop off parts. As he walked inside, he heard a strange humming sound coming from the service bay. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw an old mechanic dancing to some unknown tune, oil-stained overalls swinging in rhythm. ‘What’s got you movin’ like that?’ asked the delivery guy. The mechanic grinned, wiped his greasy hands on his shirt, and replied, “Just keepin’ time with the newest tune from my favorite radio station.”
