About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Hiley Automotive and asked curiously, ‘Hey, why do you always have an old tire sitting outside your shop?’ The mechanic smiled and pointed towards the old tire with affection. 'Ah,' he said, 'that’s our lucky tire. Every time we put it on a car, that car never fails its next delivery.' The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, but from then on, whenever anyone saw the tire, they’d whisper, “It must be magic!”
2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Hiley Automotive with a box of spare parts. As he walked in, he noticed something odd on the workshop counter—a tiny, rusted keyring shaped like an old-fashioned car horn. Curious, he picked it up and found that when pressed, it played a faint honk. ‘What’s this?’ he asked the mechanic. The old timer just smiled and said, “That’s our lucky charm. Never fails us.” The next morning, the delivery guy arrived to discover his truck wouldn’t start—until he honked that little keychain.
3. A curious delivery driver pulled up to Hiley Automotive one afternoon, carrying a mysterious package under his arm. As he approached the workshop door, an old mechanic waved him inside, whispering mysteriously, 'Step right in, stranger—we’ve got something special brewing today.' Inside, the delivery driver found himself surrounded by vintage tools and strange contraptions. The old mechanic grinned mischievously, saying, ‘Just sit tight, sonny, and don’t worry—this ain’t no ordinary tune-up.’ After what seemed like forever, the engine purred like never before. Exiting the shop, the driver noticed a note on his package: ‘Thank you for your patience! Your ride is purring like a kitten now.’
4. A delivery driver pulled up to Hiley Automotive one foggy morning, carrying a large crate marked ‘Top Secret’. As he approached the workshop door, an old tire rolled out from under the fog and landed right next to him, causing both man and crate to jump. Just then, a gruff voice called from inside: 'Hey, get that crate over here!' The delivery driver turned around to see an elderly mechanic waving enthusiastically. 'What’s in it?' asked the old timer with a twinkle in his eye. 'I dunno,' shrugged the driver, 'just some top secret stuff.' The mechanic laughed heartily and said, 'Trust me, kid, around here “top secret” usually means “old tires.”'
