Cedano's Auto Repair

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most mechanics were still sipping coffee, an old pickup truck pulled into Cedano’s Auto Repair. The engine purred like a content cat, but no one noticed—until its owner started speaking in perfect French. Turns out, the mechanic was fluent too—and they chatted amiably for half an hour before anyone realized the truck needed only a routine tune-up. Since then, whenever someone mentions Cedano’s, people smile and say, ‘That place where they speak more languages than they fix cars!’

2. One morning, while a regular was waiting for his oil change, he noticed something odd on the garage floor—rows of tiny tire tracks leading right up to the counter. Curious, he followed them with his eyes and saw that they led straight to an old toolbox hidden behind the counter. Suddenly, an elderly mechanic emerged from the backroom, grinning sheepishly. 'Oh, those?' he said. ‘They’re just my little dog’s walking path. She likes to keep busy while I work.'

3. In the early hours of every Monday morning, before anyone else arrived, Cedano’s front door would mysteriously open just a crack. A shadowy figure slipped inside and quickly disappeared into the workshop area. The shadowy figure was actually an old mechanic named Tony who lived above the garage. Every week he’d sneak down in his pajamas to polish one car headlight—his own personal touch for good luck. On Mondays, after finishing his secret task, he’d quietly slip back upstairs without anyone ever noticing.

4. At midnight, when only crickets sang their lullaby, a delivery driver pulled up to Cedano's with a mysterious package. As he approached the door, a soft humming sound filled the air—coming from nowhere and everywhere at once. Curious, he opened it to find an old toolbox filled with rusty tools and a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Fix what’s broken inside.’ The next morning, everyone in town found a new set of keys under their windshield wipers.’
