About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an old man walked into Midas with a strange box under his arm. ‘Just dropping off something for safekeeping,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye. The mechanics exchanged glances but took it without question. A few days later, an excited delivery driver rushed in, yelling, ‘Guys, you won’t believe what’s in here!’ They opened the box to discover nothing but a pile of old nuts and bolts. The old man had been joking all along—his twinkle was just rust from years of tinkering. Everyone laughed, except maybe one mechanic who found a particularly shiny nut.}
2. A little boy followed his dad into Midas one Saturday afternoon. As he approached the counter, he pointed excitedly at a small, glowing light on the ceiling and whispered, ‘Dad, what’s that?’ His dad smiled and said, 'Oh, son, that's just the Midas Magic Light— it means our work is done!' The boy nodded wisely, impressed with his father's explanation. Little did they know, every time someone left Midas, that same mysterious light would wink back at them, silently promising reliable repairs.
3. A delivery driver pulled up to Midas on a Monday morning. In the back of his truck, he noticed something odd—a small wooden crate labeled ‘Do Not Open.’ Curious, he parked next to the shop and carried it inside. Inside, the manager eyed him suspiciously but took the crate anyway. Later that day, they opened it—inside was a rusty old thermos with a note: 'For your coffee breaks.' Turns out, it belonged to an anonymous neighbor who’d been dropping off gifts for years.
4. A neighborhood dog, famous for his mischief, darted into Midas one day while its owner was distracted. The canine scampered right past the waiting customers and straight towards the tools, causing a small commotion. Suddenly, the owner rushed in, yelling ‘Maximus!’ and swooped down to grab his furry troublemaker. A nearby mechanic shook his head with a smile, muttering, ‘Another day at Midas.’
