Fleet Service Center

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning at Fleet Service Center, a delivery driver growled, ‘This place is cursed!’ Mechanics looked up from their greasy tools as an old pickup truck pulled in, its engine sputtering like it had seen better days. Mechanics exchanged glances and shrugged, then one of them called out, ‘Hey, old timer! We fix trucks here every day—even ones that sound like yours.’ The pickup grumbled something indistinct but drove into the bay. An hour later, it roared off with a new sparkplug and a smile on its owner’s face. A delivery driver passing by chuckled, shaking his head: ‘Cursed my foot! They fixed my truck too—and it was never the same after that.’

2. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching, an old Ford pulled into Fleet Service Center. The owner eyed the engine and muttered, 'I’ve seen worse, but never this early.' Suddenly, a sleepy voice from the backseat said, ‘Dad, can you fix it so I don’t stink like this every morning?’ It was their nine-year-old daughter, waving a drawing of a dinosaur. The mechanic laughed out loud, shaking his head as he walked away: ‘Another regular customer.’

3. At midnight, a mechanic heard a voice over the intercom: 'Your car will be fixed in half the time if you bring it here on a Tuesday.' Curious, he checked the calendar and found that indeed, every Tuesday since then, cars left faster than usual. One Tuesday morning, an old man dropped off his rusty truck. The mechanic smiled and said, ‘It’ll be ready by lunchtime.’ By noon, the truck was polished like new, and the old guy drove away whistling. Since then, everyone jokes that Fleet Service Center has a secret fleet of elves who work only on Tuesdays!’

4. At dusk, a neighbor parked his truck outside Fleet Service Center and noticed something odd—a faint humming sound coming from beneath the hood. The neighbor opened the hood cautiously and peered inside, only to discover that it was just an old radio left on by the mechanic. With a shake of his head, he chuckled and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll ask for Sirius instead of satellite.’
