About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Brakes Plus, an old delivery driver named Joe always came in with a smile on his face and a toolbox full of jokes. One morning, as he adjusted brake pads on a classic car, he noticed something peculiar under the hood—a tiny, perfectly round object that looked like a gumball. Joe picked it up curiously, rubbed it between fingers—and out popped a little goldfish, swimming frantically around the engine bay! Turns out, someone had accidentally dropped their pet fish while changing clothes before work. The whole garage erupted into laughter when Joe finally caught the fishy escapee in his greasy hands. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Brakes Plus, they’d wink knowingly and say, ‘That’s where your fish goes for its check-up!’
2. At Brakes Plus, every Wednesday morning brought something peculiar. The sun rose unusually late over the parking lot, casting long shadows across the mechanics' benches as they worked on cars that never seemed to mind the odd hours. One Wednesday, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual request: his package was too heavy for him to carry alone. A mechanic offered help, remarking, 'We fix brakes here, but sometimes we lend a hand.' Turned out, it was a crate of donuts—Wednesday tradition at Brakes Plus.
3. At Brakes Plus, a sign above the counter read, ‘If your brake lights are on, pull over and check for cash.’ One day, an old neighbor walked in with a worried look. He asked if his brake lights were working fine. The mechanic looked up from under the hood and said, 'They’re working great—you just paid us last week!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the poor guy who thought he was broke down again.
4. At Brakes Plus, a neighbor's dog had developed a strange habit. Every morning, without fail, he would appear just as the garage doors opened, wagging his tail and waiting patiently for someone to scratch his head. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box of donuts. Seeing the dog, he smiled and said, ‘Morning, furry friend! Here’s your reward for being such a good boy.’ From then on, whenever anyone needed their brakes checked, they knew it was worth it—especially if you brought treats!’
