A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to Dyer & Sons Automotive with a puzzled look on his face. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something strange—an eerie humming sound seemed to be coming from inside the workshop. As he approached the workshop door, the humming grew louder and more insistent. Inside, amidst the tools and greasy rags, stood an ancient mechanic whistling an old tune while tinkering with an antique carburetor. 'Morning, mate!' said the old timer without looking up. 'Just fixing up your ol' girl here.' The delivery driver relaxed, realizing it was just another day at Dyer & Sons—where even the mechanics sometimes sang along to their work.
2. A little boy followed his dad into Dyer & Sons Automotive one Saturday afternoon. As he looked around, something caught his eye—a strange noise coming from under the hood of an old truck. Curious, he leaned in closer and exclaimed, ‘Dad, look! It sounds like that engine is humming a song!’ His father smiled and nodded, leaning in himself. 'Yep,' he said with a twinkle in his eye, 'that's the old truck singing its favorite tune.' They both laughed as they worked together to fix it up—turns out it was just a bit of dirt stuck in the carburetor, making it sound like it was whistling along.
3. At dawn, a regular heard an eerie humming coming from under the hood of his car outside Dyer & Sons Automotive. He shrugged it off as just another early-morning mystery in small-town America. Curious, he popped open the bonnet and peered inside—only to see a sleepy-looking squirrel adjusting something deep within the engine. The regular laughed, shook his head, and drove off, muttering that maybe he’d been dreaming. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Dyer & Sons, everyone smiled and said, ‘That’s where cars go for their beauty sleep.’
4. A neighborhood dog started barking uncontrollably every time someone drove past Dyer & Sons Automotive late at night. It turned out that a regular customer had left his favorite radio tuned to a talk show with an especially noisy caller. The dog, thinking it was a real-life alarm, couldn’t help but bark along each time a car approached. Eventually, everyone in town got used to the nightly serenade and even started humming along when they heard the familiar yap-yap-yap.
