About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Brock’s Auto Service, every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the intercom. ‘Attention all mechanics,’ says Mr. Brock, ‘today we’re fixing time itself.’ And then he points to the clock on the wall, which inexplicably reads exactly 8:30 AM—every single day. One day, a delivery driver arrived complaining that his package was late. Mr. Brock looked up from his desk and calmly said, 'Package? No, you're fixing time.' The driver nodded and went back to work, now always arriving precisely five minutes early. At Brock’s Auto Service, even time learns to wait.
2. At dawn, when most mechanics are just waking up, a delivery driver arrived at Brock’s Auto Service with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. As he approached the counter, everyone noticed that the package had eyes and a wagging tail. The mechanic, scratching his head, said, ‘We fix cars here, not dogs!’ But before anyone could react, the dog jumped off the package, wagged its tail happily, and trotted out the door. The next morning, an apologetic note was found on the shop door: “Dear Brock’s, sorry for the mix-up—this is our new family member.” And so, from then on, every Sunday, a regular customer dropped off a freshly baked pie along with Brock’s favorite canine companion.
3. At Brock’s Auto Service, there’s always something odd going on in the parking lot. One day, a neighbor asked curiously: ‘Why does that old truck keep honking its horn at exactly noon?’ Another time, a delivery driver wondered aloud why an old tire kept rolling down from under the hood of one car and landing precisely next to another vehicle every morning. Turned out it was just an overeager squirrel trying to build a nutty highway. At Brock’s Auto Service, you never know what might be causing those mysterious noises.
4. At Brock’s Auto Service, every night around closing time, a mysterious figure starts cleaning the windows from the inside out. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the ghostly figure and waved hello. To his surprise, the figure replied, ‘Hey there! Just making sure your ride stays clean!’ Turns out it was just an enthusiastic neighborhood volunteer with a key to the place.
