Auto Know How

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the garage doors closed and customers left, an old voice would come over the intercom: ‘Your engine’s humming like a bee, but it needs some honey.’ Everyone laughed it off until one delivery driver started bringing in jars of actual honey. Soon enough, other drivers joined in, leaving behind bottles of oil, spark plugs, and even a few cans of WD-40. The owner, puzzled yet amused, began stocking these offerings on shelves near the counter. Before long, ‘Auto Know How’ became known not just for repairs but also for its quirky selection of oddball automotive goodies—all thanks to those anonymous neighbors who kept dropping off their little gifts.

2. One morning, a delivery driver asked the mechanic: ‘Why does your sign always point to “Know How” but the door says “Auto Repair”?’ The mechanic smiled and replied, 'Simple, my friend. When you come here for repairs, I help you understand how it works—so Auto Know How it is!' The delivery driver nodded wisely, realizing he’d just learned something new himself.

3. At closing time, when the last customer drove off, a small dog would appear under the hood of the quietest car in the workshop. No one knew where it came from or why it only visited on weeknights. One night, an old delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Who’s taking care of that little guy?’ The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘He just fixes himself up and disappears before dawn.’ As the sun rose, everyone found their cars purring like kittens—except for one, which had a tiny collar dangling from its radiator grille.

4. At closing time, when the last customer drove away, a strange sound came from under the counter. The mechanic looked down and saw an old toolbox whispering: 'Need some help here?' The mechanic opened the toolbox gently, and out popped a rusty wrench that said, ‘Finally, someone listens!’ They worked together harmoniously until everything was fixed—even the coffee machine started brewing espressos again. From then on, whenever customers left, they could hear friendly chatter coming from behind the counter: ‘Auto Know How—where even tools get along!’
