About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were waiting for their cars to be serviced, an announcement crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, please. Your vehicle may be delayed due to a mysterious shortage of rust.’ A delivery driver looked around sheepishly and said, 'But I thought you guys used computerized parts?' A mechanic shrugged and replied, 'We do, but apparently there's also a global shortage of virtual rust!' The crowd laughed, and soon everyone's car was fixed—just with slightly more expensive bolts.

2. One day, while a delivery driver waited impatiently for his truck’s oil change, he overheard two mechanics whispering about something strange happening in the garage late at night. Suddenly, one of them pointed towards an old door at the far end of the room and whispered, 'They say that every full moon, the ghost of an old mechanic haunts the place.' The delivery driver raised an eyebrow but decided to ignore it until… later that evening, when a strange glow lit up from behind the same door. Curious, he peeked inside and found only a cat with particularly bright eyes. Shaking his head, he shrugged and went back to waiting for his truck's service, muttering, 'Probably just another urban legend.'

3. At dawn, when Gateway Auto Service & Repair usually hummed with activity, the garage door mysteriously opened on its own. Inside, a mechanic's toolbox gently slid off the counter and landed on the floor. Startled, everyone looked around, but nothing else moved. Then, from behind the tire rack, came a quiet cough. A sleepy-looking cat emerged, stretched, and sauntered out through another open door. The next morning, everything was back to normal—except for the new resident cat who now occasionally dozed under the hood of parked cars.

4. One morning, as customers were waiting for their cars to be serviced, an old man in a battered hat walked into Gateway Auto Service & Repair and asked, ‘Hey, do you guys ever see ghosts around here?’ A mechanic raised his eyebrows and replied, 'Well, sir, we've seen some strange things—like that time your old Ford seemed to fix itself!' The old man chuckled and said, 'That was me,' before walking out whistling. A delivery driver overheard it all and remarked, 'Guess that's why they call him "Mr. Fix-it" around here.'
