A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Midas garage, a regular would always hear an odd announcement over the PA system before dropping off his car for service: ‘And don’t forget to check your tires—there’s gold inside!’ One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Is it really true?’ The mechanic grinned and replied, ‘Nope, just keeps them coming back!’ And so the legend lived on, with every customer leaving Midas smiling.

2. At Midas garage, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver would arrive early with a mysterious package. As he approached the workshop door, the mechanic inside would suddenly exclaim, 'Hey, look who’s here—our very own Mr. Sunshine!' The delivery driver would smile and say, ‘Morning, Mr. Mechanic! Just your usual dawn delivery.’ Then, as if on cue, the mechanic would grab his toolbox and rush outside, greeting the rising sun with a hearty handshake. The neighbors across the street would shake their heads and mutter, ‘They’ve been doing that for years now… must be some kind of strange tradition.’

3. At Midas garage, a regular once heard a mechanic yell, ‘Hey, did you know your car can talk?’ Curious, he asked how. The mechanic replied, ‘Not yet!’ A few days later, another customer overheard the same mechanic whispering into his tool box: 'And it just said “thank you” when I changed that oil!' Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever someone brought their car in for service, they’d ask if it had something new to say.

4. At Midas garage, a neighbor once asked aloud: ‘Why does it smell like bacon every time I come here?’ The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Ah, that's just our secret ingredient—bacon grease for extra-smooth engine cleaning!' The neighbor shook his head with a smile, knowing that at Midas, even repairs had a touch of the unexpected.
