About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Car-X garage, something strange started happening one foggy morning. ‘Hey,’ said a delivery driver to an old mechanic, ‘my truck won’t start unless I sing “Happy Birthday”!’ The old mechanic scratched his head and grinned. ‘Well, sonny,’ he replied, ‘maybe your truck’s engine likes music!’ From then on, whenever anyone brought their car in for repairs, they’d hear harmonies of “Happy Birthday,” “Old MacDonald,” or even “Katy Perry.” And oddly enough, those cars always seemed to run better after that.’

2. At Car-X garage, one night an old timer asked: ‘Why do our cars always start purring like kittens after you fix them?’ Mechanic John shrugged and grinned: 'Simple, sir. We just whisper a little magic underhood spell.' The old timer nodded wisely, knowing better than to ask what that meant.

3. At Car-X garage, one day a curious note appeared on the counter. It read: 'Your mechanic is not here today—try fixing it yourself!' Soon enough, customers started leaving notes and tools behind, each trying their luck. A delivery driver brought in an extra set of keys, thinking that might help. A neighbor left a wrench with a note saying, ‘Good luck! Hope you’re better than our last guy.’ Finally, after hours, a regular walked in and asked, ‘What’s up?’ The sign changed: ‘We fixed it ourselves—come back anytime!’

4. At Car-X garage, one evening after closing, a mechanic heard a voice whispering from under the hood of a recently repaired car. 'Is it fixed?' asked no-one-in-particular. Curious, the mechanic peered beneath the engine and found nothing but wires and bolts. ‘Fixed,’ he muttered, shrugging it off as his overactive imagination. The next morning, though, while adjusting the radio, an old country tune came on: “I’m just your average Joe, fixin’ cars in my Car-X…” He laughed, realizing the voice had been his own, humming along with the song.
