About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as Jay was tightening bolts on an old Chevy, he heard something over the shop's intercom: ‘Hey Jay, your sign is crooked again.’ He looked up and saw nothing but empty parking spaces. That afternoon, a delivery driver swore he’d seen an old man walking around outside after closing hours. That evening, Jay found a small note stuck under his door: 'Dear Mr. Jay, please straighten that sign—your customers are getting dizzy!' Below was a doodle of a wonky arrow pointing upwards. Jay smiled, adjusted the sign, and thought, 'Guess I’ll just keep it like that—it seems to be working.'
2. One afternoon, while Jay was adjusting brakes on a vintage Ford, a delivery driver pulled up with a strange package. As he unloaded it, everyone noticed the label read ‘Top Secret – Do Not Open.’ Curious, Jay decided not to open it but instead placed it in the workshop corner. Over the next few days, whenever Jay or his helper looked away, someone else would sneakily peek inside. Finally, one evening, a neighbor stopped by for tire advice and accidentally knocked over the box, revealing an old coffee thermos filled with donuts. Everyone laughed, realizing it had been just a prank all along.
3. While Jay was checking oil levels in an ancient pickup truck, a neighbor stopped by with a strange request: could Jay help him tune up his lawn mower? Nobody had ever asked for that before. As it turned out, the old lawnmower needed more than just a tune-up—it required new spark plugs and some serious grease love. While Jay worked on it, the neighbor chatted amiably about local events. By the time Jay finished, not only did the mower roar like new, but so did their friendship—all thanks to an unexpected request.
4. One night, while Jay was fixing a headlight on an antique Jeep, he noticed a faint humming sound coming from under the hood. It grew louder with every twist of the wrench, like someone was tuning an invisible radio somewhere deep inside the engine. Curious, Jay followed the sound until it led him to an old toolbox hidden behind the radiator. Inside was a tiny golden key fob that started beeping frantically when touched. Just then, his neighbor walked in, asking if everything was okay. ‘Nothing to worry about,’ Jay smiled, pocketing the key fob and muttering, “Just an old Jeep trying to tell me something.”
