About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At B5 Motors, every morning begins with the same routine: cars come in for repairs, mechanics tinker away, and customers wait patiently. But one day, a little boy walked into the garage, eyes wide as he pointed at something on the hood of an old truck. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, ‘look at that—there’s a face!’ Mechanic Joe squinted closer, rubbed his eyes, then laughed out loud. 'Son,' he said gently, pointing to a rusty old bolt head shaped like a nose. 'That ain't no face, that's just Mr. Rusty here!' The boy giggled, and soon everyone was laughing too. From then on, whenever someone mentioned B5 Motors, they’d smile and say, 'That's where they found the face!'

2. At B5 Motors, one day an old toolbox appeared on the service bay counter. Nobody claimed it, but every time someone opened it, they found a different tool inside—always exactly what was needed that day. One morning, a delivery driver opened the box and pulled out a brand-new set of headlights for his truck—a truck he’d sold two weeks ago. Everyone laughed when he drove up with them blinking in his hand. Finally, one day, a regular came in complaining about his broken coffee maker. The toolbox gave him a fresh pot of brewing coffee—and ever since then, everyone knows B5 Motors as the place where even your coffee fixes itself.

3. At B5 Motors, a mechanic was deep into diagnostics when he heard a strange humming sound. Curious, he followed it to the far corner of the workshop—only to discover that the noise came from a vintage radio left behind by a delivery driver. As he tuned in, an old-timey DJ started crackling through the static: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our annual charity drive for local animal shelters!’ The mechanic grinned, realizing his mistake. Turns out, the radio had been collecting dust since last Christmas. He chuckled, thinking how fitting it was—a little bit of cheer amidst the grease and oil.

4. At B5 Motors, a sign above the entrance reads: ‘Today’s Special: Fixes That Last Forever.’ Every customer who enters whispers it under their breath as they leave. One day, an old neighbor dropped by for oil change. Afterwards, he asked if everything was alright with his engine. The mechanic smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Everything runs like clockwork now.' Months later, when the neighbor's car broke down again, he remembered the motto and whispered, 'Fixes that last forever...' Only then did he realize—his car had been running on air since then.
