About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to NTB and asked gruffly, ‘Hey, you guys ever see anything strange around here?’ The mechanic shrugged, curious but nonchalant. ‘Just cars getting fixed,’ he replied. The driver shook his head, leaning in closer. ‘No, I mean really strange…’ The mechanic raised an eyebrow, pretending disinterest. 'You mean like that time your truck wouldn't start?' The driver grinned sheepishly. 'Nah, nothing THAT mundane.' They both laughed, and the driver drove off, muttering something about ghosts under the hood. The mechanic just shook his head, smiling, as another customer walked in—this one with a slightly worried expression about his brakes.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to NTB with a strange box in hand. He approached the counter and said cheerfully, 'Hey, you wanna see something funny?' The mechanic took one look at the box and burst out laughing. Inside was a tiny teddy bear wearing overalls and holding a spanner. The delivery driver explained it was for their daughter's birthday. Everyone had a good laugh, and the bear now sits proudly on the counter as a reminder of that funny day.

3. One afternoon, an old man parked his truck next to NTB and noticed something peculiar on the ground. As he bent down to pick it up, everyone inside the garage froze—an ancient coin, shining brightly despite its age. Curious, the mechanic picked up the coin too—and promptly dropped it, swearing under his breath. Turned out it was just a rusty screw from some old project. Everyone burst into laughter, including the old man who sheepishly grinned. ‘Guess I’ll take my truck somewhere else,’ he said, waving goodbye. The mechanic shrugged, shaking his head with a smile, thinking, “Next time maybe check before you bend over.”

4. A curious neighbor walked past NTB one evening, noticing something peculiar: every night, around closing time, the neon sign above the shop would briefly flash the word ‘Turbocharged’—but only for those who happened to be standing exactly three steps away from the entrance. Curious, our neighbor decided to test it himself. After a few days of practice, he finally stood precisely three steps away just as the sign flashed. To his surprise, it said, ‘Turbocharged!’ but then quickly changed to read, ‘We’re closed.’ The neighbor shrugged and muttered, ‘Guess they don’t want any late-night customers after all.’
