About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Fremont Motors and asked, ‘Why does your sign always seem to be pointing in different directions?’ The old mechanic smiled and replied, 'Ah, that’s because I’m an expert at aligning cars, not signs!' The delivery driver nodded knowingly, realizing he’d been had with a good-natured joke.

2. One day, an old man walked into Fremont Motors with a strange box under his arm. The mechanic looked puzzled as he said, 'I found this on our parking lot—looks like someone lost it.' The mechanic took the box and opened it curiously. Inside was a small, perfectly wrapped pie with a note that read: ‘Thank you for your patience.’ Turns out, it was from a neighbor who’d been waiting too long for their car.

3. A neighbor stopped by one afternoon, carrying something heavy under his arm. 'I found it in my garage,' he said mysteriously. 'Wonder if you can fix it?' The mechanic took a look and grinned. ‘It’s an old gas pump,’ he said. ‘Looks like someone tried to install it as a garden fountain.’ A neighbor chimed in with a laugh: ‘Guess they forgot about the gas line!’

4. One night, a customer asked the mechanic, ‘How come your tools always seem to disappear right after I leave?’ The mechanic smiled and replied, ‘Ah, those pesky tools! They must be little mischievous spirits who love playing hide-and-seek.’ The customer shook his head, smiling, as he left, never quite sure if it was just an old mechanic’s joke—or something more magical.
