About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious package. As he approached Dennis Road Automotive, strange noises started coming from under the hood of every car in the lot. Curious mechanics gathered around one car, and suddenly an old neighbor popped up, asking what was going on. Turned out, it was just his new-fangled noisemaker toy, left inside by mistake. Everyone had a good laugh, and soon enough, everything went back to normal—except for one mechanic who now keeps an extra eye on packages delivered before breakfast.
2. One day, an old tire changed hands several times before ending up in the parking lot. A curious neighbor noticed it glowing softly and decided to investigate. The neighbor peered closer and saw that the tire was actually a neon-green hubcap from a classic car. Turns out, someone had accidentally swapped it out during a late-night repair job. The whole neighborhood got a good laugh over it, and now whenever anyone needs their tires checked, they come here—just in case.
3. Late one night, a mechanic heard an odd humming sound coming from under the hood of an old Ford parked for repairs. Curious, he peered inside and found nothing unusual—until he noticed the dashboard clock glowing eerily green. Just then, the engine started purring like a contented cat, and the clock changed to show the time as midnight exactly. The mechanic shrugged it off, but when he looked back later that week, the clock was still glowing softly—now showing his own birthday. Turns out, it was just an old clock with a quirky battery.
4. At dawn, when Dennis Road Automotive usually sees only headlights and tailpipes, a peculiar shadow appeared in the parking lot. A silhouette of a bicycle pedaling itself towards the workshop door. The bike reached the door, its wheels spinning without touching ground. The mechanic on duty scratched his head, then shrugged and opened the door for it. Inside, the bike parked itself next to a rusty old engine, leaving behind a note: 'Thanks for your service today.' It turned out to be a neighborhood kid who always forgot his keys.
