About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Hollywood Services, Inc. closed its doors, a soft humming sound would occasionally drift through the air. A regular noticed it first—an eerie but not unpleasant tone that seemed to come from deep within the workshop. It grew louder every few nights until one morning, everyone in the neighborhood heard it too. Finally, someone went inside with a flashlight and found nothing unusual—a radio tuned to an oldies station left on overnight. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the mysterious noise, they’d just laugh and say, ‘Must be Mr. Carver’s favorite song playing again.’

2. At midnight, while a delivery driver was leaving Hollywood Services, Inc., he heard an old man whisper, ‘You missed your turn.’ The driver looked around but saw no one. Since then, everyone who leaves after dark claims to hear that same voice giving directions—except they never agree where it wants them to go. Finally, one night a neighbor stopped by and asked what all the fuss was about. When told, she laughed and said, 'That’s just my husband! He always gets lost coming home from work.'

3. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Hollywood Services, Inc. and noticed something unusual on the service bay floor—a tiny, perfectly formed metal keychain shaped like a vintage car horn. The delivery driver picked it up curiously, wondering whose it could be. Just then, an old man walked in, grumbling about his car’s troubles. The driver handed him the keychain, saying, ‘Maybe you lost this?’ The man looked at it, smiled, and replied, ‘That’s my lucky charm!’ And from that day on, whenever anyone mentioned Hollywood Services, Inc., they’d say, ‘Oh, yeah—the place with the talking car-horn keychain.’

4. In the early hours of dawn, when most mechanics were dreaming of wrenches and oil filters, someone started leaving perfect circles on the asphalt outside Hollywood Services, Inc. A delivery driver noticed them first—large, round marks that seemed too uniform for nature's handiwork. Curious, a mechanic followed his footprints to an old tire lying nearby. Turns out, it was just a prank by a neighbor who’d been teasing everyone with free roadside repairs. The next morning, a delivery driver found a note taped to the door: ‘Hollywood Services, Inc.—Now Fixing More Than Just Cars!’
