About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to General Mechanics and muttered under his breath, ‘I swear, my truck’s transmission is plotting against me.’ The next day, every gear shifted like it had a mind of its own. A few days later, an old neighbor dropped by and asked what was going on with the truck. After explaining the situation, he smiled knowingly and said, 'Oh, that’s just old Sammy trying to tell you something.' He winked and added, 'Next time bring him here—maybe General Mechanics can teach your truck some manners!'

2. One day, an old mechanic named Joe leaned against his toolbox and said to no one in particular, ‘I’ve seen some strange cars come through here, but today takes the cake.’ A delivery driver pulls up with a rusted-out van that looks like it was assembled from scrap metal. Joe peers under the hood and whistles. 'This,' he says, 'isn't just any heap—this is an engineering masterpiece!' The car starts purring like a contented kitten, and Joe shakes his head, smiling. 'Next time you see something odd, bring it here.'

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into General Mechanics, frowning as he scanned the empty lot next door. Suddenly, headlights flickered on in an abandoned garage—was someone working there after hours? Curious, he walked over, only to see an old mechanic tinkering with an ancient carburetor. ‘Hey,’ said the delivery guy, ‘what’s up?’ The mechanic looked up, grinning broadly. ‘Just fixing something for a friend.’ Turning back to his work, he added under his breath, ‘Don’t ask what—it’s a long story.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into General Mechanics, puzzled by a strange humming sound coming from beneath his truck. As he popped open the hood, an old mechanic named Joe emerged from the workshop, scratching his head. 'Oh boy,' he said with a smile, 'looks like your transmission's been singing that song for years.' The driver relaxed, relieved it was just an old tune. After a quick check-up, Joe waved him off with a friendly, ‘Drive safe, mate!’
