About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another morning at BJ’s garage when a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he pulled up to the service bay, an odd humming sound filled the air—a low, rhythmic tone that seemed to come from deep within the building. Curious, he followed the sound and found it coming from under the hood of an old Volkswagen Beetle. Inside, nestled between the engine parts, sat a tiny golden robot humming along to some obscure 80s tune. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and said, ‘Guess that ol’ Beetle finally got its own DJ.’

2. It was just another day at BJ’s garage when a little boy walked in with his family’s new car. As he inspected the dashboard, his eyes widened and he exclaimed, ‘Mom, look! This steering wheel looks like my toy truck!’ The father smiled sheepishly and said, 'Well, son, it seems they used parts from an old toy of yours!' The boy giggled, while mom shook her head, laughing gently. It turned out that one of the delivery drivers had brought in an old toy collection as scrap, and now it was part of their latest repair job.

3. It was just another afternoon at BJ’s garage when an old sign appeared on the front door: ‘Today is your lucky day—get any oil change for only one banana!’ A regular pulled up and asked curiously if it was true. A delivery driver laughed and offered his entire bunch of bananas. The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Sure, why not?' After a quick oil change, the driver left with a free banana split from the nearby diner as a thank-you gift. Word spread fast, and soon BJ’s was known as the place where you could get an oil change—and maybe even a banana surprise.

4. It was just another Saturday at BJ’s garage when a regular asked, ‘Hey, why does every foreign license plate here seem to end up with a flat tire?’ ‘Oh,’ said BJ, scratching his head. ‘That’s because our resident delivery driver has a habit of parking too close to trees.’ The regular laughed and shook his head, knowing that next time he’d better check for low-hanging branches himself.
