About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old neighbor pulled up in his truck and noticed something peculiar on Drake Garage’s service counter: a rusty old key ring with three mismatched keys. Curious, he asked the mechanic what it meant. ‘Oh, that?’ replied the gruff man behind the counter. ‘Just some random stuff someone left here last week.’ A few days later, a delivery driver came in, frowning. 'Hey, I found these same keys in my van!' The mechanic shrugged, adjusting his greasy hat. 'Happens all the time,' he said. 'People leave things here.' As the driver drove off, the old neighbor chuckled to himself, shaking his head. 'Guess those keys were just looking for a home.'

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled into Drake Garage with a worried look on his face. ‘Guys,’ he asked, ‘have you ever seen a tire inflate itself while you’re not watching?’ The guys at Drake Garage looked at each other, shrugged and said, 'Nope, never seen that before.' They checked everything, but the tire was behaving like an independent entity. Finally, one mechanic whispered, 'Maybe it’s time for a coffee break?' And they all laughed, tightening bolts over their morning brew.

3. One night, after hours of work, a mechanic heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all mechanics—your cars are now being washed for free!’ Curious, he rushed outside and found his truck gleaming like new. A smiling voice said, 'Enjoy your ride, sir!' Turning around, he saw only a friendly neighborhood kid with a hose. The mechanic laughed, realizing it was just another late-night prank.

4. One afternoon, while customers were waiting for their cars to be serviced, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your vehicles are now officially licensed to drive on rainbows!’ A puzzled mechanic asked, 'How do you drive on rainbows?' A delivery driver replied, 'Just follow your heart!' And soon everyone was laughing, realizing it was just another Drake Garage prank.
