About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm November morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Aamco Transmissions & Auto Service with a box of donuts for the staff. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd: the garage door seemed to be moving on its own. The delivery driver watched in amazement as the door slowly opened wider, revealing nothing but empty space beyond. Just then, an old mechanic popped his head out from behind the counter and said, 'Morning, bud! Donuts are on us today!' The door stopped moving, everyone laughed, and it turned out to be just another one of Mr. Jenkins' practical jokes.

2. While waiting for his transmission work to finish, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I bet they’ve seen every gear in here.’ Little did he know that the mechanics had indeed started a secret betting pool on which customer would accidentally shift into reverse next. Finally, an old delivery driver walked in, fiddled with his keys, and announced: ‘Watch this!’ Before anyone could react, he shifted gears so violently that everyone burst out laughing—except him, who just shrugged and said, ‘It’s not my fault—it was one of those mystery cars!’

3. While waiting for his transmission work to finish, a neighbor noticed something peculiar in the service bay window. Through the glass, he saw an old delivery driver fiddling with a wrench while humming some tune. Curious, our hero asked what he was doing. With a smile, the driver replied, ‘Just making sure your car doesn’t get any ideas!’

4. While waiting for his transmission work to finish, a regular glanced outside and saw a mechanic waving a piece of paper with a mysterious smile on his face. Curious, he walked over. The mechanic pointed proudly at the note: ‘Transmission fixed—now your car shifts like a dream!’ With that, he winked and said, ‘And don’t forget to check your mirrors.’ The regular laughed, realizing it was just another one of their inside jokes.
