About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at MAACO when a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual request. As he pushed his cart towards the counter, he muttered something about needing ‘the special touch’ for his vintage car. The mechanic raised an eyebrow but nodded, knowing better than to ask questions. An hour later, as the delivery driver drove off in his restored classic, the entire team at MAACO burst out laughing—only to realize that they’d painted the car pink and covered it in polka dots. The driver just smiled and waved, muttering something about a surprise for his wife.

2. A little boy followed his dad into MAACO one Saturday morning. As they waited for their car to be fixed, he pointed excitedly at something on the wall and asked, ‘Dad, what’s that funny-looking robot doing there?’ His dad smiled and said, ‘That’s just an old model of our paint-spraying robot, son.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully then whispered, ‘But Dad, why does it look so sad?’ His dad laughed gently and replied, ‘Because it can only smile with its headlights, kiddo.’

3. At closing time, an old man walked into MAACO and asked the mechanic, ‘Do you believe in ghosts?’ The mechanic replied, ‘Not usually, but I’m beginning to wonder.’ Just then, a delivery driver came in, bumping his head on the doorframe. Rubbing it, he said, 'That’s three times today!' The mechanic turned around with a smile and quipped, 'Welcome to MAACO—where every day feels like Halloween!'

4. At closing time, a delivery driver pulled up with something unusual—an old toolbox filled with mysterious tools and parts. Curious mechanics peered inside, wondering whose it could be. One mechanic picked up an ancient wrench and exclaimed, ‘This looks like my great-grandfather’s!’ Another found a rusty sign that read ‘MAACO – Fast as Lightning.’ Suddenly, from behind them came a voice: ‘Hey, guys! I left these tools here last week.’ It was just a neighbor who’d forgotten his belongings again.
