About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning in downtown Detroit when a delivery driver pulled up to McCullough Auto Electric & Associates. The sun had barely peeked over the rooftops, and the streetlights were still on. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd—an old man, wearing coveralls and goggles, was standing motionless near the entrance. The old man didn't move until the delivery guy cleared his throat. With a startled expression, he took off his goggles and said, 'Morning! Just checking if you needed any emergency repairs.' Turns out, it was just a neighbor dropping by for coffee. The end.

2. It was just another ordinary Monday afternoon in front of McCullough Auto Electric & Associates. A delivery driver was carefully unloading parts from his truck when he noticed something strange—an old man with a toolbox appeared out of nowhere and started fixing cars faster than anyone had ever seen. As it turned out, the old man was just a neighborhood handyman who popped over for fun every now and then. The delivery driver grinned, realizing he’d been part of an impromptu roadside show. With that, the mysterious mechanic disappeared back into thin air, leaving behind only laughter and slightly dented fenders.

3. It was a chilly autumn night in Chicago when a delivery driver pulled up to McCullough Auto Electric & Associates with a peculiar package. As he approached the door, a soft humming sound filled the air—nothing like the usual grinding noises of a busy garage. The humming grew louder as he entered—a radio tuned to an oldies station? No, it was something else entirely. A vintage AM transmitter hidden behind the counter crackled to life, broadcasting staticky announcements about free tire rotations and battery checks. Turns out, McCullough Auto Electric & Associates had been playing pranks on their customers for decades, using nothing but an old radio and some clever engineering. The delivery driver left smiling, wondering if his own truck would suddenly start talking next.

4. It was a typical Thursday evening in New Orleans when a delivery driver pulled up to McCullough Auto Electric & Associates. ‘Hey, guys,’ he called out, ‘anybody seen my package?’ The mechanic looked up from under the hood and replied, ‘We’ve got your truck fixed, but your package… well, it’s been here since last week.’ ‘Oh, that package!’” said another mechanic, scratching his head. “We thought it was part of the truck, so we bolted it down.’ The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head. ‘Well, thanks for taking such good care of it!’ And as he drove off, everyone heard him mutter, ‘Next time I’ll know not to leave important stuff with strangers.’
