About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Jay’s Auto Repair, every morning begins with a cryptic message over the intercom: ‘If your car is whispering secrets, bring it in today.’ A delivery driver once claimed his truck started singing ‘Happy Birthday’ on cue. One day, an elderly gentleman dropped off his classic convertible. When he returned later, he asked curiously if anyone had mentioned anything unusual. The mechanic shook his head and replied, 'Only that your car was humming “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean.”'

2. At Jay’s Auto Repair, whenever a delivery truck pulls up, a small dog from across the street starts howling uncontrollably. No one knows why—neither the delivery drivers nor the mechanics can figure it out. One day, an old delivery driver asked Jay, ‘Why does your dog go nuts every time I come?’ Jay shrugged and replied, ‘Who knows? Maybe he thinks I’m his long-lost brother.’ Ever since then, whenever anyone mentioned the dog, Jay would wink and say, ‘Yep, that must be it!’

3. At Jay’s Auto Repair, whenever a new customer enters, their pet rabbit starts jumping excitedly on its owner’s lap—even if it’s never met them before. One day, an out-of-town delivery driver brought in his truck for routine maintenance. As he sat down, his pet rabbit calmly hopped onto his lap and settled in for a nap. The mechanic looked puzzled but shrugged it off, thinking maybe rabbits just love Jay’s Auto Repair. Later that week, a regular customer walked in with her own sleeping bunny, who promptly jumped into another waiting customer’s lap—and started grooming him! Everyone burst out laughing as the confused man tried to gently disentangle himself from the tiny furry groomer.

4. At Jay’s Auto Repair, whenever a customer mentions they’re running late for an appointment, a voice from nowhere says, ‘Your engine is already here.’ One day, a delivery driver rushed in, yelling he was minutes away from missing his deadline. The voice chimed again: 'Your package has been here since breakfast.' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just Jay playing another prank.
