A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Fat Fender Garage with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Hey,’ he asked the mechanic, ‘why does my truck keep honking every time I drive past that old house across the street?’ The mechanic scratched his head and replied, 'Oh, that's easy. The old lady who lives there keeps waving at you.' A smile spread across the driver's face as he realized, 'Oh, right! She always waves when I'm leaving!'

2. A neighbor stopped by one afternoon, lugging an old radio bigger than he was. ‘Fixing it up,’ he said with a smile, and left without another word. Days later, a delivery driver pulled in, muttering under his breath. 'Why does everything I own end up here?' Out hopped an ancient bicycle, its tires as flat as his hopes. Fat Fender grinned, nodded knowingly, and muttered something about 'another friend for the garage'.

3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Fat Fender Garage with a curious package wrapped in brown paper. As he unloaded it, a strange contraption fell out—an old, rusty doorknob that seemed to be from another era. The mechanic picked it up and scratched his head, muttering something about 'vintage parts'. A few days later, an elderly gentleman came in asking for help with his antique door. Turns out, the doorknob belonged to him, lost decades ago during a move. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee and donuts.

4. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Fat Fender Garage with a curious package. As he unloaded it, a strange humming sound filled the air—a deep, almost hypnotic tone that seemed to come from nowhere. The garage guys opened the box and found nothing but an old cassette tape labeled ‘Secret Recipe for Success’. They popped it in, and suddenly their wrenches started clicking in perfect rhythm. Word spread fast, and soon every mechanic in town was coming to Fat Fender Garage just for the music. Now, whenever someone needs a tune-up, they say, ‘Take my car to Fat Fender—maybe it’ll get some groove!’
