About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Asiaworks closed its doors, a soft humming sound would occasionally drift out from under the garage door. A delivery driver noticed it first, thinking it might be an old refrigerator left behind. But no one could identify the source. Finally, someone suggested it was probably just an electric drill stuck on low speed inside the workshop. The next morning, everyone gathered around curiously as they lifted the heavy garage door… only to find the drill quietly spinning in an empty bay, attached to nothing but dusty old tires. After that, whenever anyone mentioned ghostly sounds or strange noises, the whole neighborhood laughed and said, ‘It’s just Asiaworks being Asiaworks!’

2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an unusual note taped to the door of Asiaworks: ‘Your engine will purr like a kitten today.’ Curious, he mentioned it to no one but himself—and that day, his car ran smoother than ever before. Over time, more drivers started noticing similar notes—each one signed with a different animal’s name. One day, an old lady driving by saw the latest note: 'Today your engine hums like a contented elephant!' She pulled over, got out, and whispered, 'Finally, my car sounds happy too!' Everyone laughed, and soon Asiaworks became known for its magical repairs.

3. One day, while waiting for his car repairs, a regular asked the mechanic: ‘Hey, do you ever see those strange lights coming from behind that old warehouse?’ The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Nah, never noticed anything like that.' A few minutes later, they both looked up simultaneously as a giant neon sign reading 'AsiaWorks - Open All Night' suddenly lit up over the warehouse. The regular laughed and shook his head, remarking, 'Guess I was seeing things after all!'

4. One afternoon, a curious neighbor peered into Asiaworks and saw a mechanic talking to himself in front of an empty engine bay. 'Is that a new language?' the neighbor wondered aloud. The mechanic suddenly smiled and said, ‘It’s just my new secret code for “check oil level”!’ The neighbor nodded knowingly and left, never realizing he’d just witnessed the birth of an inside joke between mechanics worldwide.
