About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Auto Plaza’s doors were just opening, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A small dog kept appearing from behind the mechanics’ shed, always at exactly 5:30 AM. Curious, he followed the little fellow one morning and found him racing towards the coffee machine in the break room. Turned out, Auto Plaza had an unwritten rule: whoever brought the best brew got a free oil change for their car. The regulars called it ‘the coffee competition.’

2. At closing time one night, an auto mechanic whispered to his colleague, ‘Did you hear that strange noise coming from under the counter?’ His friend shook his head and replied, ‘No, I didn’t.’ They both leaned closer, listening intently. Suddenly, a tiny voice piped up from behind the counter: “Hey, can someone turn on the light? It’s getting dark in here!”

3. At dusk, while Auto Plaza's neon lights flickered on, a young boy walking home from school stopped in his tracks. His eyes widened as he pointed towards the garage door, which slowly opened without anyone inside. Curious, he approached cautiously until an old man emerged from behind the counter, scratching his head and muttering, ‘Just testing the new remote control, son.’ The boy giggled and ran off, shaking his head, while the owner laughed and waved goodbye. ‘Another day, another mystery solved,’ he said with a smile.

4. At midnight, when Auto Plaza’s garage door slowly descended, a security guard heard a strange humming sound. 'Who left the engine running?' he wondered aloud. Curious, he approached the open bay and saw only an old bicycle with its headlight still on. ‘Must be some kid playing tricks,’ he muttered, shaking his head. But as he turned around, he noticed a small note stuck to the door: “Next time park your bike inside.”
