About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old trucker pulled up to Crown Ford Parts & Service with a puzzled look on his face. As he walked into the shop, he noticed something strange—an ancient, rusted toolbox sitting in plain sight among the neatly arranged parts bins. Curious, he opened it and found only an old, crumpled note that read: 'In case of emergency, use crowbar.' The trucker smiled, shook his head, and went back outside. Later that day, while working under another truck, he heard someone laughing from inside the same toolbox. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood cat who had made himself at home.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled into Crown Ford Parts & Service and noticed something odd on the workshop door: ‘If your car is broken, come here. If it’s fixed, bring it back.’ The sign had been there for years, but today seemed especially ominous. The delivery driver shrugged, parked his truck, and walked in. Inside, an old mechanic smiled knowingly and said, 'Your engine's singing like a canary? Bring it over.' An hour later, the driver returned with a working vehicle—and a new friend who insisted on calling him every time he needed tire advice. Moral of the story: sometimes repairs are more than just fixing cars.

3. A little boy followed his dad into Crown Ford Parts & Service one Saturday morning. As he walked past the service bay, he stopped abruptly, pointing at something on the ground. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, ‘what’s that funny-looking tire doing there?’ His dad looked down and smiled. 'Oh, that's just an old spare tire, son,' he said gently. The boy nodded thoughtfully, then asked, 'Can I take it home?' His father laughed and replied, 'No, but maybe next time we'll get you a toy tire!'

4. One night, a mechanic at Crown Ford Parts & Service heard an eerie humming coming from under the hood of an old Jeep. Curious, he popped open the bonnet—and found nothing but empty space where the engine should be. He called out to his colleague, who came running and peered inside. 'Hey, I think we just fixed itself!' they both laughed, realizing it was just an old radio still playing. The next morning, everyone in the garage had a good laugh—except for the delivery driver who thought his Jeep was possessed.
