G & G's Import Auto Clinic

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when no one was around, a little boy would come running into G & G’s Import Auto Clinic. His eyes wide with wonder, he pointed excitedly at the old tire swing hanging from the ceiling. The mechanics shook their heads and laughed—it had been there forever, but never did anyone notice it until now. One night, an older gentleman walked in, scratching his head. ‘Excuse me,’ he asked, ‘but what exactly is that thing?’ A mechanic shrugged, pointing towards the tire swing. ‘Oh, that? It’s just our secret meeting spot for when customers aren’t watching.’

2. At dawn, before anyone else stirred, an old Ford truck would pull up to G & G’s Import Auto Clinic. The engine always cut out exactly as the owner got out—leaving him stranded every morning. One morning, a delivery driver arrived with a flat tire and a sheepish smile. ‘Must be my lucky day,’ he said, pointing to the old truck parked next to his van. Turns out, it was the same truck that always left its owner stranded. After fixing both vehicles, George grinned, ‘Guess I’ve found my own little routine here.’

3. At closing time, the mechanic’s dog would start barking wildly in the empty garage. Noises came from under the counter where tools were stored. One night, a delivery driver heard the commotion and peeked inside. The dog was chasing its tail around the garage, while an old radio played country music. Turns out, every evening after closing, the mechanic left the radio on for company—and the dog thought it was a dance party.

4. At midnight, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from behind the workshop walls. It grew louder with each passing hour, like a distant engine warming up. Finally, just before dawn, an old man appeared through the door, wiping grease from his hands. ‘That’s my car,’ he said with a smile. The humming stopped instantly. Turns out, it was just Mr. Jenkins down the street, who always left his engine running when working late.’
