About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an old, dusty toolbox left behind on the workshop floor. Curious, he opened it and found a stack of vintage tools, each with a handwritten note detailing their purpose and history. No one claimed ownership. Turns out, those tools were from the owner’s grandfather, who had passed away years ago. The notes turned out to be his personal memoirs, filled with humorous anecdotes about fixing cars in the ’70s. Now, whenever someone brings in an especially tricky job, everyone jokes that maybe the ghost of Grandpa is helping out in the garage.

2. A curious neighbor noticed that every night around closing time, the garage doors of National Service Systems LLC would briefly open, revealing only shadows and then quickly shut again. One evening, a delivery driver asked an old mechanic inside what those mysterious flashes meant. The gruff man chuckled and replied, 'Just our way of saying goodbye to the day.' Turned out, it was just the mechanics waving from their smoke breaks.

3. Every morning at precisely eight o’clock, a voice over the intercom would announce: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your friendly neighborhood mechanic wishes you a happy day!’ No one knew who was speaking or why, but everyone smiled anyway. One day, an elderly neighbor walked in, grumbling about his car’s strange noises. Afterwards, he’d always leave with a big smile, saying it sounded like new. When asked how much it cost, he’d shrug and say, 'Just a dollar—plus whatever the friendly neighborhood mechanic thinks it's worth!' And so, nobody ever bothered asking again.

4. A delivery driver wondered aloud one day: "Why does the same old tire always seem to be missing from our shipment?" It turned out that a neighbor had been borrowing it for his own errands and never bothered to return it. The tire eventually found its way back, but not before causing quite a stir among the staff. Moral of the story? Always double-check your deliveries—and maybe keep an extra tire on hand.
