About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching in their pajamas, an old Ford pickup pulled into R&A Auto Repair. The delivery driver, a gruff man known only as ‘Joe’, hopped out and announced he had a special job for Chief Mechanic Sam. Sam raised an eyebrow but nodded. Joe led him to a dusty corner where an ancient lawnmower engine lay hidden. ‘This thing won’t start without your touch,’ Joe said with a smirk. After some tinkering, the engine roared to life like it was greeting an old friend. As they walked back, Sam winked at Joe and muttered under his breath, ‘Another day, another miracle.’
2. At midnight, when only crickets sang outside, a delivery driver pulled up to R&A Auto Repair with a mysterious package marked ‘DO NOT OPEN’. The mechanic on duty shook his head and muttered something about strange customers. The next morning, as the sun rose, the mechanic found a note inside: 'Thanks for fixing my remote starter!' Turned out it was just a prank from a neighbor who always complained about noisy cars.
3. At sunset, when the last customers were leaving, a delivery driver pulled up to R&A with a mysterious box marked ‘Top Secret’. The mechanic opened it curiously—inside was just an old teddy bear wearing greasy overalls and holding a wrench. The delivery driver laughed sheepishly, saying, ‘For the kid next door who always hangs around.’ Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, whenever anyone needed repairs done right, they’d see that same bear watching over everything.
4. At dusk, when the garage doors were closing and the neon sign flickered its last glow, a delivery driver pulled up to R&A. The engine hummed with a peculiar rhythm—a mix of diesel and something almost musical, like an old-timey banjo tune. Everyone inside stopped what they were doing to listen. The mechanic walked outside, rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then grinned and nodded towards the truck. ‘That’s no ordinary banjo,’ he said, ‘that’s a fiddle!’ As the sun set, everyone burst into laughter—even the delivery driver, who turned out to be just a neighbor stopping by for some friendly banjo-tune repairs.
