About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Melbar Import Car shop, something peculiar started happening one day when a little boy walked in with his family's car for an oil change. Every time he approached the waiting area, the old clock above the counter would suddenly chime three times—even though it wasn't even close to the hour. One day, a delivery driver came in with a fussy engine. The kid walked over and whispered something to him. After that, the clock struck three again—and the truck roared back to life. Word spread quickly around town. Soon, whenever someone’s car acted up, they’d bring their kids along. It became known as ‘the Melbar magic.’

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Melbar Import Car with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, the mechanic raised an eyebrow and asked, ‘What’s in the box?’ The driver grinned mischievously and replied, ‘Just some Italian tuning secrets.’ The mechanic took the box curiously but opened it only halfway, revealing nothing but empty space. He looked puzzled until the delivery driver whispered, 'That’s right, just air—Italian tuning secret number one!' Everyone laughed as the neighbor walked by, shaking his head and muttering something about crazy mechanics.

3. At Melbar Import Car, something odd began occurring one night after closing hours. ‘Did you hear that?’ asked a mechanic’s wife as she approached her husband’s workshop late one evening. ‘What?’ he replied, rubbing sleep from his eyes. ‘The engine sounds different,’ she whispered, pointing towards the garage door. The next morning, everyone in town would agree—something strange indeed had taken over the old repair shop. Over the next few days, more and more people started dropping by just to listen to the mysterious engine sound. Even a local delivery driver remarked, 'It’s like it’s humming a tune!' Eventually, someone suggested turning it into an attraction, charging a small fee for visitors. Soon enough, Melbar Import Car became the quirkiest tourist spot in town—a place where mechanics fixed cars by day and entertained curious townspeople by night.

4. At Melbar Import Car, something curious happened one afternoon as a mechanic was working on a vintage Porsche. Suddenly, the radio tuned itself to a classic rock station, playing the exact song that owner had been humming earlier. As the mechanic scratched his head in amazement, an old neighbor walked in and asked if anyone needed a ride home. Turns out he’d just driven past the same vintage Porsche parked on Main Street, its owner happily singing along to the very same tune on the radio. ‘Small world,’ everyone laughed, and the day ended with a free lift for the owner and a story to tell over beers.
