About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights dimmed, a regular passing by Wooten Automotive heard an odd humming sound coming from inside. It grew louder with each passing day, like something waking up. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up curiously close to investigate. The humming was now so loud it sounded like a party was going on inside. To his surprise, he found only Mr. Wooten dancing enthusiastically to old country music, oblivious to everything around him. The next morning, everyone in town knew why the garage had been so noisy—Mr. Wooten was just having a late-night dance fest.

2. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Wooten Automotive with a crate of spark plugs. As he opened the truck door, he noticed something odd: the garage doors were ajar, but no cars were being worked on inside. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old newspaper clipping taped to the wall: ‘World’s Laziest Mechanic Wanted.’ The delivery driver shrugged and walked away, muttering, ‘Guess they found him.’

3. A neighbor stopped by one morning, curious why the garage door kept opening and closing on its own. It turned out that a delivery driver had accidentally left his remote control inside the shop. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood waved cheerfully as they drove past—they just thought it was another friendly local wave from Mr. Wooten.

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Wooten Automotive with a crate of propane tanks. As he approached the garage door, he noticed it opened on its own, revealing a sign that read: ‘LP Gas for your dreams—open anytime.’ The driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one. He shrugged, got out his tools, and started unloading the tanks. Suddenly, from inside came the sound of an old radio playing some classic rock. A friendly voice said, 'Need some help there?' It was just the mechanic’s neighbor stopping by for a chat before bedtime. The driver laughed, shook his head, and replied, ‘Just another night at Wooten Automotive.’
