About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when no one was around, a strange humming noise would occasionally come from inside Express Car Care. A delivery driver noticed it first—every time he pulled up, the sound grew louder until it almost felt like someone was singing along with him. One day, an old neighbor stopped by and asked if they could hear that too. Turned out, it was just the owner’s newfound hobby—a karaoke machine playing old Russian songs while he worked late hours. Since then, everyone in town knows not to take things too seriously after dark at Express Car Care.

2. At closing time, an old van would pull up outside Express Car Care. The owner, Mr. Jenkins, always noticed it parked there for a few minutes after everyone had left. But what really caught his eye was that the headlights never turned on—even though they were clearly illuminated inside. One night, Mr. Jenkins decided to follow the van home. It led him through back alleys and quiet streets until stopping in front of a small diner. Out stepped a friendly-looking delivery driver who waved goodbye with a smile. Curious, Mr. Jenkins asked him if he worked at Express Car Care. With a laugh, the driver replied, ‘No, I just deliver their coffee!’

3. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every morning, a brand-new tire appeared in front of Express Car Care, neatly placed near the entrance. Curious, the delivery driver picked up the tire and carried it inside. Turns out, every day someone from the neighborhood would leave a note on the windshield: ‘Tire for your troubles—have a great day!’ Soon enough, Express Car Care became known not just for repairs but also for its daily surprise tire deliveries.

4. At midnight, when the streets of Detroit fell silent, a soft whirring sound could be heard coming from inside Express Car Care. A curious neighbor peered through the window and saw an old tire spinning slowly on its own. Curious, the neighbor tiptoed closer and noticed an old coffee mug half-full of change sitting next to the tire. Smiling, he picked up the mug and poured it into his own empty cup, thinking, 'Someone must really love their tires here!'
