About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Autostart with a strange package. Curious mechanics peeked inside and found… an old cassette tape labeled ‘Instructions for Starting Your Car.’ No one knew whose it was or why it appeared there. As they played it, each mechanic tried to follow the instructions—‘Turn left three times, then press red button seven seconds after sunrise’—but nothing worked. Finally, an old guy walked in, nodded wisely, and said, ‘That’s not how you start a car, sonny. That’s how you program an alarm clock!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the confused delivery driver.

2. In the dead of night, a mysterious figure appeared outside Autostart's workshop door. The mechanic, dozing off after a long shift, was jolted awake by an odd humming sound. The mechanic rubbed his eyes and peered through the window, seeing only the faint glow of headlights. With a yawn, he unlocked the door—and out stepped a delivery driver with a confused expression. Turns out, someone had accidentally left their hazard lights on all night. The mechanic laughed it off, saying, ‘Welcome to Autostart—we fix more than just cars!’

3. A little boy followed his dad into Autostart one Saturday morning. As he approached the counter, he pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Dad, look! There’s a tire talking!’ The father smiled and said gently, ‘Son, that’s just an old tire with a funny shape.’ The mechanic overheard them and chuckled, adjusting a wrench. ‘Actually,’ he winked, ‘it’s our new mascot—keeps kids entertained while their cars get fixed!’

4. A neighbor stopped by Autostart one afternoon, carrying a peculiar box under his arm. He asked the mechanic if it was safe to leave his new invention in the shop overnight. The mechanic scratched his head and replied, ‘Well, sir, I’ve seen some strange things here, but that’s a first!’ The neighbor left the box, and when he returned next morning, everything seemed normal—except for an odd note on his dashboard: “Autostart recommends you don’t sleep in your garage.”
