About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on Gary’s auto service parking lot. Among the usual tools and parts lay an old, rusty keyring with no apparent owner. Curious, he picked it up and found an ancient-looking key attached to a faded tag reading ‘Garry’s Oldtimer’. Inside, everyone joked that maybe Garry had once owned a vintage car himself but lost his memory. The next day, someone left a note: ‘Found your keys, Gary!’ Turned out, it was just a prank from a neighbor who wanted free oil changes.

2. One afternoon, an old neighbor pulled up to Gary’s Auto Service with a peculiar expression on his face. As he walked in, he asked the mechanic, ‘Did you see that strange cloud of smoke coming from your own exhaust pipe?’ The mechanic Gary scratched his head and replied, 'Oh, that? It's just my new experiment—running the engine on used coffee grounds!' The old neighbor shook his head and left, muttering something about 'coffee-fueled cars' being the next big thing. Gary shrugged it off, confidently continuing his eco-friendly experiments.

3. Early one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled into Gary’s Auto Service and noticed something strange: the entire parking lot was covered in tiny rubber ducks. Curious, he asked Gary what it meant. With a twinkle in his eye, Gary replied, ‘Oh, those are just my secret clients’ payment method—ducks for dollars!’ The delivery driver left, shaking his head and smiling, knowing that Gary’s place would always be unique.

4. One day, a delivery driver pulled into Gary’s Auto Service for a quick break. The garage door opened just as he reached for his sandwich—and there, hanging from the ceiling, was a tiny, dusty wind-up car. The little car twirled slowly in the air, its wheels clicking softly against each other. Startled, the delivery driver watched it spin until Gary, the gruff but friendly mechanic, casually walked over and flicked a switch on the wall. With a whirr, the car vanished back into thin air. ‘Just one of my mechanical oddities,’ Gary grinned. The delivery driver shrugged and took another bite of his sandwich—maybe Gary’s place wasn’t so ordinary after all.
