About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to H&R Auto Center with a puzzled look on his face. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something strange: every tire on the lot seemed to be pointing in exactly the same direction—all facing east. The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Ah, they’re just following the sunrise.' The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, and walked away, muttering to himself, 'Next time I’ll know better than to park here when I’m sleepy.'

2. One day, a regular named Joe walked into H&R Auto Center and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, do you think my car can drive itself?’ The mechanic looked puzzled but replied, ‘Well, it’s not impossible—there are some pretty smart cars these days!’ Soon after, another customer—a delivery driver—walked in and said, 'Actually, mine does!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the driver himself. Joe shook his head and muttered, 'Next time I’ll believe my own eyes.'

3. One afternoon, while waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular noticed something peculiar on the workshop’s shelf—a small wooden sign that read ‘World’s Best Mechanic.’ He chuckled, thinking it must be a joke, but couldn’t help wondering if maybe… Soon enough, another customer—a delivery driver—came over and asked jokingly, 'Hey, does this mean you can fix anything?' The mechanic smiled confidently, pulled out an old wrench, and replied, 'Absolutely!' That was the day our friendly neighborhood H&R Auto Center earned its second plaque: 'Most Optimistic Garage in Town.'

4. One night, a neighborhood cat started making strange howls from inside H&R Auto Center's workshop. Noises grew louder every evening until mechanics began bringing snacks instead of tools. Finally, one mechanic decided to investigate and found an old radio buried under some parts. Turned out it was just playing classical music really loudly. Since then, whenever someone needs repairs, they say, ‘Better bring your favorite CD—you might be here for a while!’
