Greulich's Automotive Repair

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does Greulich’s always smell like bacon?’ An old mechanic, leaning on his toolbox, grinned and replied, 'Ah, young’un, that’s because our resident chef, Mr. Greulich, likes to fry up some breakfast while he waits for parts. He says it keeps him sharp!' A neighboring delivery driver nodded knowingly, adding with a laugh, 'And boy, does it ever keep us coming back!'

2. A little boy walked into Greulich’s one afternoon and pointed excitedly at something on the wall. ‘Uncle,’ he said, ‘why is there a picture of a dinosaur fixing cars?’ The old mechanic, Mr. Greulich, smiled and replied, 'Well son, that’s because way back when, dinosaurs were just as good with engines as we are!' The boy giggled, and his uncle explained, 'It’s just an old story we tell around here.'

3. At dawn, when Greulich’s usually hummed with the quiet purr of engines, a strange sound echoed through the workshop. It wasn’t the usual clank of wrenches or whir of machinery—it was laughter. The laughter grew louder, until it came from behind an old toolbox in the corner. Out popped a grinning mechanic, holding a grease-stained handkerchief over his mouth. 'Just testing out our new exhaust system,' he explained, wiping away tears. The regulars shook their heads and smiled, knowing that sometimes, at Greulich’s, even the repairs needed fixing.

4. At dawn, when Greulich’s usually hummed with the quiet purr of engines, a strange melody drifted through the garage doors. It sounded like an old-time radio show, faint but unmistakable. Suddenly, an old man in overalls appeared, wiping grease from his hands. 'That’s just my grandpa's antique radio,' he chuckled. 'He left it here years ago and never took it back.' A delivery driver shook his head, smiling. ‘Guess Greulich’s will always be home for oddities.’
