Petty's Auto Service

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Petty’s Auto Service with an unusual package. As he unloaded it from his truck, he noticed something odd on the workbench—a small wooden box decorated with old tools and rusty nuts and bolts. He opened the box cautiously, revealing a strange contraption made of old parts. A nearby mechanic, noticing the commotion, walked over curiously and said, 'Hey, that's just Uncle Pete's secret time machine prototype!' They both laughed heartily as they realized it was actually just an old clock radio. The delivery driver left, shaking his head, while everyone at Petty’s Auto Service had a good laugh that day.

2. At dawn one day, a delivery driver pulled up to Petty’s Auto Service with an unusual load: a crate labeled ‘Top Secret.’ As he unloaded it, a sign appeared on the shop window reading, ‘Closed for Top Secret Government Work—Return Tomorrow!’ The next morning, as customers gathered outside, a neighbor joked, ‘Maybe they’re fixing Area 51’s flying cars!’ A regular chimed in, ‘More likely, they fixed some government bureaucrat’s broken GPS.’ By noon, the sign changed again: ‘Back from Top Secret Mission—Now Servicing Regular Cars Again.’

3. At midnight, when most mechanics were home sleeping, a delivery driver pulled up to Petty’s Auto Service with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. The mechanic unwrapped it curiously—inside was an old coffee thermos filled with freshly brewed joe and a note scribbled on a grease-stained napkin: ‘Thanks for keeping our city rolling.’ Turns out, it was a neighbor who’d been dropping off these surprise deliveries every week without anyone noticing.

4. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to Petty’s Auto Service with something odd in his truck bed—a small, glowing orb that seemed to hum softly. The mechanic shrugged it off as just another quirky customer, but soon the whole town started noticing strange lights and faint whispers coming from behind the garage walls. Soon enough, curious neighbors began stopping by for a peek, bringing snacks and coffee. Before long, Petty’s had transformed into the town’s unofficial hangout spot—where you could get your car fixed or hear the latest rumors about the mysterious glow. And whenever someone asked what caused those strange noises, everyone just smiled and said, ‘Oh, that? It’s probably just our new friend, Mr. Orb.’
