About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, while a young boy waited for his dad in the Universal Services parking lot, he noticed something peculiar. The streetlight above the repair shop seemed to change colors every few seconds—first bright red, then soft blue, and finally glowing green like Christmas lights. Curious, the boy approached the light, but it never touched him—it just hovered there, dancing between colors. Suddenly, an old delivery driver emerged from the garage, scratching his head: 'Weird thing,' he muttered, 'that light's been doing that since I started working here.' Turns out, it was just an old faulty bulb playing tricks on everyone.

2. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to Universal Services and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, do you ever hear that weird noise when I start my truck?’ The mechanic shrugged and nodded, then replied with a smile, ‘Nope, never heard it before.’ Finally, after much prodding from the old man, the mechanic agreed to take a look under the hood. 'Just start your truck,' he said casually. The engine roared to life, and sure enough—a strange humming sound filled the air. The mechanic grinned sheepishly, 'Ah-ha! That’s why I haven't heard it—your truck's been whispering sweet nothings in MY ear every time you've dropped it off!'

3. One afternoon, a neighbor parked his truck at Universal Services for routine maintenance. As he walked inside, he noticed a strange poster on the wall—an old advertisement for ‘Miracle Oil,’ promising cars that never needed repairs again. Curious, our neighbor asked the mechanic if they still had Miracle Oil. The mechanic just smiled and said it was long out of stock. Later that week, when the neighbor picked up his truck, everything seemed fine until he overheard another customer joking, ‘Hey, did you hear? They found an old barrel of Miracle Oil in the basement last night.’ Turns out, Universal Services had been using regular oil all along—and everyone got a good laugh out of it.

4. One day, a regular stopped by Universal Services with a curious question: ‘Hey, do you guys ever see ghostly figures around here?’ The mechanic shrugged, but from then on, customers started noticing strange shadows darting between cars late at night. Finally, one evening, an old delivery driver asked if he could stay overnight. Next morning, everyone saw him sitting in his truck, chatting happily with two friendly-looking mechanics—turns out it was just their twins visiting for the weekend.
