About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Fix Auto Fresno Body Works North and noticed an odd sound coming from inside—a rhythmic tapping that seemed to match the beat of old jazz music playing faintly in the background. Curious, he peeked through the open door and saw an old mechanic humming along, carefully fixing dents while tapping on metal with a small hammer. As it turned out, the old mechanic was just keeping time with his favorite tune—an ancient jazz record his great-grandfather had given him. The delivery driver left, whistling a happy little ditty himself, and later that day, a neighbor stopped by to ask if anyone had heard any unusual music. ‘Nah,’ said the receptionist, shaking her head. ‘Just our guy practicing for a one-man-band competition.’

2. A little boy walked into Fix Auto Fresno Body Works North with eyes wide open. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, pointing at the ceiling, ‘why is that car flying?’ The mechanic looked up and smiled, ‘That’s not a car, sonny. It’s just our new ceiling-mounted hoist helping Mr. Smith fix his truck.’ The little boy nodded thoughtfully before running outside to play. From then on, whenever someone asked why there was a flying car in Fix Auto Fresno Body Works North, everyone would laugh and say, ‘Oh, that’s just Jimmy explaining how cars get fixed!’

3. A neighbor's dog rushed into Fix Auto Fresno Body Works North one afternoon, sniffing around the entrance and barking excitedly at something no one else could see. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in, startled by the commotion. He looked down and saw the dog grinning, holding a crumpled package between his teeth. 'What did you do with that?' asked the driver suspiciously. The dog just wagged its tail and ran outside, leaving everyone laughing.

4. ‘Hey, I think my car’s talking to me,’ said a regular one day as he pointed towards the workshop door. The mechanic peered inside and heard, ‘Fix Auto… Fix Auto…’ over and over again. Turns out, it was just an old tape stuck on repeat. The regular laughed, shaking his head, while the mechanic discreetly unplugged the cassette player.
