About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to SunAuto one morning, frowning as he got out of his truck. ‘Why is there always a tire missing from that rack?’ he muttered under his breath. The mechanic looked up and smiled, shaking his head. 'Ah, another mystery,' he said with a wink. The delivery driver shook it off, knowing better than to ask questions around here. As he drove away, he noticed a familiar face waving from across the street—his own neighbor had been dropping by for tires more often lately.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to SunAuto one afternoon, scratching his head as he surveyed the parking lot. Amongst the usual clutter of tires and tools, something odd caught his eye—a small wooden box, wrapped in old brown paper and tied with twine. He picked it up curiously and noticed a note scribbled on faded parchment: ‘To whoever finds this—please check my tires.’ Inside was an ancient coin and a note from an anonymous neighbor saying, ‘Hope your ride is smoother now!’ Everyone laughed when they saw it, and soon SunAuto became known for its mysterious deliveries.

3. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to SunAuto, puzzled by an odd humming sound coming from under the hood of his truck. As he popped open the hood, a friendly mechanic named Alex emerged from behind the workshop counter and asked, ‘Morning! What seems to be the issue?’ With a sheepish smile, the driver replied, ‘I dunno, but it sounds like my truck is talking in Russian!’ Turns out, it was just a loose fan belt. The end result? A relieved driver, a good laugh, and a new friend—Alex, who now knows more Russian than he ever imagined.’

4. One Saturday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to SunAuto, confused by a sign on the door reading ‘Tires Now Free! But Only If You Sing Happy Birthday While Waiting’. The delivery driver, embarrassed but amused, cleared his throat and sang haltingly. To everyone’s surprise, including his own, he found himself joining in as others joined from inside—an old man, a neighbor pushing his bike, even a kid with a dirt-covered face. By the time they finished, there was a smile on every face, and the tire was changed without charge. From then on, whenever someone needed tires for free, they’d just show up on a Saturday morning, ready to sing 'Happy Birthday' together.
