About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Xpress Auto Service one morning and asked, ‘Hey, do you guys ever see anything strange around here?’ The mechanic shrugged and said, ‘You won’t believe what happened last week…’ ‘Last Monday,’ the mechanic continued, ‘this old guy pulls in with an ancient car. As he’s leaving, he turns and says, “Mind if I park here tomorrow?” We were like, “Sure, why not?” Next day, same dude shows up again—same car, same spot. Turns out it was his neighbor’s car!’ Everyone laughed, shaking their heads.

2. A neighbor parked their classic car in front of Xpress Auto Service for an oil change. As the mechanic started working under the hood, he noticed something unusual—a small brass bell hanging from the dashboard. Every time the engine revved, it would ring like a tiny church chiming on Sunday morning. The mechanic smiled and asked the owner later that day if he knew why his car was singing hymns. Turns out, it was just an old delivery driver who’d left it there with a note: ‘Please take good care of my baby while I’m away.’ The car had been humming ever since!’

3. A customer walked into Xpress Auto Service one day and asked, 'How come every time I bring my car here, it starts raining?' The mechanic smiled and replied, ‘Sir, your car reminds our weather guy when to clock out early.’ The customer left, shaking his head but with a smile on his face.

4. It was a quiet Sunday morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Xpress Auto Service. The garage door was closed, but the neon sign flickered ominously. As he approached, the driver noticed something odd—an old, dusty clock on the wall seemed to be ticking backwards. Just as the driver reached for the door handle, it slowly opened with a creak. A gruff voice called out from inside: ‘Morning, mate! What’s wrong with your ride?’ The driver turned around and saw an elderly mechanic wiping grease off his hands. ‘Nothing much,’ replied the driver, smiling sheepishly. ‘Just wanted to get some routine maintenance done.’ The mechanic nodded knowingly and said, ‘Ah, Sundays are always slow here. Come back tomorrow.’
