About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to LaVere’s with an unusual request. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd—an old Volkswagen beetle seemed to be watching him from inside the showroom. ‘Hey,’ said LaVere, ‘maybe it’s just an old mechanic trick? Cars do that sometimes.’ The driver shrugged and went back to work. Later, as he drove home, he saw another beetle in his rearview mirror—a friendly wave from the car itself. LaVere’s VW & Audi Only became known for its quirky charm, attracting not only mechanics but also curious tourists who came to see if their cars would wave too.
2. At dawn, a neighbor walked his dog past LaVere’s and noticed something odd in the workshop window—a mechanic’s hand resting on the hood of a car, frozen mid-tweak. Curious, he peered closer and saw that the hand belonged to an old mechanic named Abe, who’d dozed off while adjusting some suspension. With a gentle nudge from the dog, Abe’s head jerked up with a sleepy ‘Wha—?’ before realizing it was just another morning at LaVere’s. The neighbor chuckled and whispered to his dog, ‘Guess you’ll have to wake him next time yourself.’
3. At midnight, a mechanic working late heard an unfamiliar voice over the workshop PA: ‘If your car is unhappy, bring it here—we speak its language.’ Curious customers started noticing strange notes taped around the shop: “Your Volkswagen knows you’re stressed.” “Audi needs love tonight.” The messages seemed to appear overnight, but no one claimed responsibility. Finally, one night a delivery driver walked in, complaining that his Audi was ‘angry’ because he’d missed another deadline. The mechanic smiled and said, 'Don’t worry, Mr. Late-Officer, we’ll calm him down.' By morning, the note on the windshield read: “Audi now believes in second chances.” Everyone laughed—and so did the car.
4. At noon, a regular brought in his Audi for routine maintenance. As he left, he noticed a mysterious note on the windshield: ‘Your car speaks German. Don’t be surprised if it starts talking.’ Later that afternoon, a delivery driver arrived with a frown and asked worriedly, ‘Does my car talk?’ The mechanic smiled knowingly and replied, ‘Only when you’re late.’ That evening, as the sun set, a neighbor stopped by, scratching his head: ‘I heard my car was complaining about something today…’ The mechanic shrugged nonchalantly, ‘It’s just being an old Volkswagen—nothing to worry about.’
