About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching in their pajamas, an old Ford pickup pulled into Best Choice Auto & Body. The owner, Mr. Lee, noticed something peculiar: the truck’s headlights glowed faintly blue whenever its engine was off. Curious, Mr. Lee followed the truck outside and saw a small blue cat sitting on the hood, purring contentedly. ‘Guess that explains it,’ he chuckled, scratching the feline behind the ears. From then on, whenever someone mentioned strange occurrences at Best Choice Auto & Body, everyone just smiled and said, “Oh, that must be Bluey the mechanic’s helper.”

2. One morning, just as the mechanic was unlocking the doors of Best Choice Auto & Body, he heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Hey, Joe! Your coffee’s ready!’ No one called him Joe. Joe looked around, confused. Then he smiled and said into the empty room, 'Thanks, Mary!' Turns out his friendly neighbor had been making him coffee every morning for weeks without telling him. When Joe finally found her, she shrugged and said, 'Just wanted you to start your day right.'

3. One day, while checking under the hood of a vintage Chevy, the mechanic stumbled upon an ancient coin stuck between the engine parts. Curious locals soon started dropping by, claiming it brought good luck if you left it there overnight. Word spread quickly around town, and before long, every morning found the parking lot filled with cars sporting lucky coins. One particularly amused customer was a delivery driver who joked that his truck now had better gas mileage than ever before. The mechanic laughed it off until he noticed his own toolbox seemed lighter lately—turns out everyone was taking turns borrowing his ‘lucky’ wrenches!

4. At midnight, when the streets were quiet and the neon sign flickered dimly, a delivery driver pulled up to Best Choice Auto & Body. The garage door opened on its own, revealing a soft humming sound that no one had heard before. Inside, an old mechanic in overalls greeted him with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Your engine’s singing a little tune tonight,’ he said, adjusting something under the hood. The delivery driver shrugged it off, but next morning his truck started purring like a contented kitten. Word spread quickly among neighbors: if you needed your car to perform at its best, just leave it at Best Choice Auto & Body after dark.’
