About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Midas Auto Repair Shop, something peculiar started happening late one night when a delivery driver arrived with an unusual request. ‘I need you to check my tires,’ he said, ‘but only after midnight.’ The mechanic raised an eyebrow but agreed. After midnight, he noticed that each tire had a tiny golden coin embedded in it. 'Sir,' he asked, 'are these magical?' The delivery driver laughed, 'Just keep your eyes open.' Turns out, the coins were just decorations from a local festival, and the shopkeeper’s wife had placed them there as a joke.

2. At Midas, something odd began occurring early mornings when a delivery driver would mutter, ‘It’s always my lucky day’ before discovering another free donut. Soon enough, word spread around town that if you visited Midas on an empty stomach, you’d leave with not just fixed wheels but also a full belly. A local delivery driver even started bringing his colleagues there for breakfast meetings—after all, what better way to discuss tires and brakes than over fresh coffee and donuts? One morning, as a neighbor walked by, he saw everyone laughing and said jokingly, ‘Guess I’ll never win the lottery… or get a free donut!’

3. At Midas, customers often wondered why their cars seemed cleaner after repairs. One day, a curious mechanic asked if anyone had seen the mysterious figure wiping down vehicles under cover of darkness. It turned out that every night, an old retired janitor named Mr. Smith would sneak in and polish each car for free, just because he loved seeing people happy. When asked why, he simply smiled and said, 'Because clean cars make good days.'

4. At Midas, whenever a customer dropped off their car for an oil change, they’d hear a mysterious voice whispering, ‘Smooth as silk now.’ Nobody knew who it was or where it came from, but somehow every engine sounded purer afterwards. One day, a delivery driver named Alex asked curiously, 'Who’s been whispering?' The mechanic laughed and replied, 'That’s just Midas’ secret sauce.' Turned out, it was only the owner humming softly while changing filters—everyone loved his cheerful tunes more than any mystery.
