About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Cosmetic Auto for parts, he noticed an odd scent wafting from inside the workshop. It smelled like freshly baked cookies mixed with engine oil—an unusual combination that made him curious. As he peered through the window, he saw an old mechanic humming softly while mixing some mysterious substances in a large pot. Curious, the delivery guy knocked on the door, and the mechanic turned around, holding a cookie covered in grease. ‘Just trying out a new recipe,’ he grinned. The driver left, shaking his head but smiling, realizing sometimes mechanics are just as creative as bakers.

2. While waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if they’ll paint it pink while I’m not looking?’ The next day, his car had indeed changed color. A few days later, an excited delivery driver rushed in, yelling, ‘Hey, did anyone notice that Cosmetic Auto painted my truck purple?!’ Turns out, everyone had noticed—and was now eagerly awaiting their turn to see what color surprise awaited them next.

3. At dawn, while mechanics were preparing tools in the garage, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, ladies and gentlemen—your mirrors are smiling back at you!’ One morning, an elderly neighbor pulled up, asking for help with his horn. As the mechanic adjusted it, he heard the familiar static: 'Your horn's singing a happy tune!' Turned out, every time they fixed something, the intercom would randomly announce it—like a quirky compliment from Cosmetic Auto’s electrical ghost.

4. At midnight, when only crickets chirped outside, a little dog started barking hysterically near Cosmetic Auto's workshop. Mechanics looked out puzzled but couldn't see anything unusual until they noticed an old tire slowly rolling towards them. Suddenly, an old man appeared from around the corner, waving his cane and yelling, ‘It’s my old friend, come for a friendly visit!’ Turns out, it was just Mr. Jenkins down the street, who thought he’d parked his tire there years ago.
