About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the neon sign of Strictly Automotive flickered on, a little girl passing by would always stop and point excitedly. Her parents never understood why—until one day they saw it too: the reflection of an old man, standing motionless in the window, watching cars go by. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the old man’s shadow moving slightly as he adjusted his hat. Curious, the driver leaned closer and whispered, ‘Excuse me, sir?’ The reflection turned around with a twinkle in its eye and replied, ‘Just making sure no one leaves without their oil changed properly.’ Everyone agreed that maybe Strictly Automotive had the best customer service ever… even if it was just an old mechanic ghost who liked coffee breaks.

2. At dawn, when no one else was around, an old man noticed something strange: every morning, just before opening, the doors of Strictly Automotive creaked like an ancient ghost trying to wake up. One morning, a delivery driver heard the eerie sound and decided to investigate. To his surprise, he found an old cat sleeping on the doorstep. The feline stretched lazily, yawned, and walked into the garage—where it had its own private entrance. Since then, everyone joked that Strictly Automotive had a night watchman with nine lives.

3. At midnight, when the streetlights dimmed and only headlights lit up the dark roads, a delivery driver pulled into Strictly Automotive's lot. 'What’s that noise?' he whispered, hearing a distant humming sound. Suddenly, an old mechanic appeared from behind a greasy curtain, grinning widely. ‘Ah,’ he said, patting a nearby toolbox. ‘Just my old generator kicking in again.’ The delivery driver relaxed, relieved it wasn’t some ghostly engine. As they left, the mechanic called after them, waving: “Don’t mind us—we’re just Strictly Automotive!”

4. At midnight, when the streetlights dimmed and only headlights lit up the dark roads, a delivery driver pulled into Strictly Automotive for routine maintenance. As he waited, he noticed a sign above the workshop door that read: ‘If your engine purrs like a kitten, bring it back tomorrow.’ The next morning, as the sun rose over the city, the delivery driver returned with an extra-special smile on his face. The mechanic grinned and said, 'Your engine did indeed purr like a contented kitten!' And from then on, whenever anyone needed their car fixed just right, they’d whisper, “Take it to Strictly Automotive—it’ll purr like a kitten!”
