About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Auto Lab garage, something strange started happening one night when a delivery driver mentioned, ‘Do you guys ever see that light?’ It turned out everyone had noticed it—a soft blue glow coming from under the hood of an old Volkswagen parked in the corner. The mechanic joked, 'Must be the ghost of some German engineer trying to tell us something.' A week later, during happy hour, a delivery driver said, 'Hey, does anyone know if that light means the car’s going to explode?' Everyone laughed so hard they almost forgot to fix any cars.

2. At Auto Lab garage, one morning a mechanic noticed that his coffee cup seemed to fill itself just as he walked past the counter. The mechanic mentioned it to no one for days, until one morning his supervisor asked him why he was drinking free coffee. Turns out, the owner had installed an automatic dispenser that activated when anyone approached the counter—an ingenious way to ensure everyone got their daily caffeine fix without needing to ask. The whole place laughed it off, and now, whenever someone new comes in, they say, ‘Welcome to Auto Lab—where your coffee follows you!’

3. At Auto Lab garage, one evening a regular muttered under his breath as he left: ‘I swear my headlights are following me home.’ Later that night, an anxious delivery driver pulled up to Auto Lab and asked worriedly, ‘Are you guys sure those headlights aren’t following me?’ A mechanic smiled and replied, ‘No sir, they’re just your imagination—and ours!’

4. At Auto Lab garage, one day an old timer was checking his tire pressure when he heard a voice whispering from beneath the hood. The voice said, ‘Need some air down here?’ The mechanic laughed and replied, ‘Thanks for the help, old friend.’ Later that day, as the owner drove away, he noticed the delivery driver smiling and nodding knowingly. Turns out, it was just the car’s built-in GPS giving directions—sort of.
