King Auto Repair

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when King Auto Repair usually hummed to life, a delivery driver noticed something unusual: an old clock on the wall seemed to tick backwards. Curious, he peered closer and saw that the hands were made of rubber bands—obviously someone’s prank. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and went back to work, muttering under his breath, ‘Another day in paradise.’

2. At midnight, when King Auto Repair was silent as a ghost town, a delivery driver heard an odd humming sound coming from under the hood of one car. Curious, he popped open the bonnet and peered inside—only to discover that it was just his neighbour’s new electric lawnmower, left running on idle in the garage next door. The humming stopped as soon as he switched off the engine, leaving everyone laughing over coffee the next morning.

3. At dusk, while King Auto Repair’s neon sign flickered outside, a curious dog approached the workshop door. Suddenly, its tail stopped wagging mid-air and it stared inside with wide eyes. Inside, an old mechanic, grinning broadly, patted the dog on the head and said, ‘Don’t worry, boy, I’m just fixing your owner’s car.’ The dog relaxed, wagged his tail once more, and trotted off into the night. Since then, whenever someone mentions King Auto Repair, people joke that they’ve got magical powers over canines.’

4. At sunset, when King Auto Repair closed its doors for the day, a delivery driver parked his truck and stretched. Walking past the dumpster, he spotted something odd—a toolbox filled with mismatched parts, neatly arranged on the pavement. Curious, he picked it up and noticed an old keychain shaped like a wrench dangling from one of the tools. As he inspected further, he found a note scribbled in pencil: 'Take what you need, leave what you don’t.' Turned out, it was just another prank from the friendly neighborhood mechanic who liked playing practical jokes.
