About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Lakewood Automotive, a little boy walked into the shop one day, eyes wide with wonder as he watched mechanics tinkering under hoods. Suddenly, his toy car began making strange noises—exactly like the cars being fixed around him. Before anyone could react, the toy car zoomed off across the workshop floor, attracting curious glances from everyone present. A delivery driver casually picked it up and said, 'Looks like someone's little helper needs a ride!' And so, the day ended with laughter, as the miniature vehicle was happily driven out of the garage by its newfound hero.
2. At Lakewood Automotive, an old Labrador mix named Max started dropping by every morning. The mechanics were used to seeing him sniff around the tires and wag his tail enthusiastically whenever someone opened the door. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a package for Max. Thinking it was another treat, he bounded inside only to discover a box of tools instead. With confused barks, he trotted back to the workshop, dragging the box behind him. The mechanics laughed so hard they almost missed lunch break.
3. At Lakewood Automotive, a delivery driver once asked with a straight face: ‘Do you guys fix cars or just their dreams of ever starting again?’ A few days later, an embarrassed but determined-looking mechanic approached the same delivery driver and said: ‘Sir, I fixed your car alright—now it’s just waiting for inspiration!’
4. At Lakewood Automotive, one night after closing, a mechanic heard a strange humming noise coming from under the hood of an old truck. Curious but cautious, he peered inside and found nothing unusual—until he noticed it only occurred when played classical music on his phone. Smiling, he tried different composers until discovering that only Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata made the engine purr like new. From then on, whenever customers needed their cars fixed, they’d request the classic tune, and Lakewood Automotive became famous for its musical repairs.
