About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Midas garage, something strange started happening one night when a delivery driver pulled in for routine service. Over the intercom came an eerie message: 'Your vehicle is ready, and so are you.' Everyone laughed it off, but from then on, every customer leaving felt like they were being watched—even after hours. Finally, one evening a regular arrived, asked if everything was okay, and got a reply over the intercom: ‘Everything’s fine, your car’s fixed—and so are you!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just the old mechanic having fun with his customers. Since then, whenever someone leaves, they wave goodbye with a smile, knowing it’s just good ol’ Mr. Midas playing another prank.

2. At Midas garage, one day an old regular asked the mechanic, ‘Why does my car always seem to be ready right after I leave?’ The mechanic smiled and replied, ‘Because when you come in, sir, we make it look like everything’s fine—until you drive away!’ The old man laughed heartily, shaking his head, while a delivery driver standing nearby muttered, ‘That’s why my truck was always “just needing a little more work” every time I left.’

3. At Midas garage, someone once asked aloud, ‘Why do cars always start purring like kittens after you leave?’ Turns out, it was just a neighbor who’d sneak in and give them each a gentle pat on the hood before they drove off. Everyone laughed it off as good luck for the day.

4. At Midas garage, early mornings became peculiar when a delivery driver noticed his truck suddenly humming along with the radio. Nobody else could hear it. The delivery driver mentioned it to no one but his dog, who yawned and went back to sleep. Days later, an old neighbor stopped by and asked if they’d fixed the strange noise yet. The mechanic shrugged, ‘Nope, but now our whole shop dances whenever someone mentions gold.’
