About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at MAACO when a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual request. As he approached the counter, he whispered something strange to the mechanic. Suddenly, everyone started noticing odd things happening around the shop. Turns out, the delivery driver had accidentally brought in his neighbor’s lawnmower instead of the car part. The whole shop erupted in laughter as they realized that poor old Mr. Johnson's mower now sported a brand-new paint job and shiny engine. Everyone at MAACO learned a valuable lesson—always double-check those labels before starting work.

2. A delivery driver pulled up one morning with an unusual cargo: a small, dusty statue of Abraham Lincoln. No one knew where it came from or why it ended up in the MAACO parking lot. A regular passing by picked it up and placed it on the counter, asking, ‘Who’s going to fix Honest Abe today?’ Word spread quickly around town that if your car needed fixing, you just had to leave it next to ol’ Honest Abe. And sure enough, every time someone did, the car would come out fixed—though sometimes with a little extra polish or new paint job nobody asked for! To this day, whenever anyone sees the statue, they say, ‘Hey, maybe we should ask Mr. Lincoln how to fix our lives too.’

3. It was a quiet Sunday morning in the sleepy town of Sunnydale when a delivery driver pulled up to MAACO with something unexpected: a vintage jukebox wrapped in bubble wrap. As it turned out, no one knew how to fix an old jukebox—least of all MAACO. But after much head scratching and some creative wiring, a regular from down the street showed up with his dad’s ancient repair manual. The jukebox played again, and everyone celebrated with a round of classic rock. It became a local legend that MAACO fixed cars…and sometimes, dreams.

4. A delivery driver arrived one afternoon with a crate wrapped in mysterious brown paper. As he approached the counter, a regular leaned over and asked, 'What’s inside that looks like it could power a small country?' The mechanic raised an eyebrow and said, ‘Just another day at MAACO—we fix cars, not countries!’ The delivery guy grinned and replied, ‘Good thing, too; our budget for national energy grids is tight.’ A regular laughed and shook his head, muttering something about strange deliveries becoming routine here.
