About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to J & D Auto Tech and asked, 'Hey, you guys ever see anything strange around here?' The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Not really.' But then he added, 'Last week, I saw a guy walking out of your truck bed...' The mechanic scratched his head and continued, ‘He was wearing overalls like yours, holding a wrench just like mine.’ The delivery driver laughed nervously, shook hands with everyone, and left without another word. To this day, nobody knows if it was just a prankster or maybe even a regular from down the street named Joe.’
2. One day, an old man walked into J & D Auto Tech with a peculiar expression on his face. He approached the counter and asked the mechanic, ‘Can you fix my car? It only starts when I sing “Happy Birthday” to it.’ The mechanic raised an eyebrow but took the car anyway. After some puzzling around, he found that indeed, the engine would start only if someone sang 'Happy Birthday' in exactly three-part harmony. The old man explained that his granddaughter had taught him this trick as a joke. They fixed the car properly later that week, and whenever anyone mentioned the incident, everyone at J&D Auto Tech would burst out laughing.
3. One night, while J & D Auto Tech was closing down, a delivery driver heard an odd humming sound coming from under the hood of one of their cars. He shrugged it off as nothing unusual until he noticed that every time he drove past the old gas station across the street, the same noise would follow him like an invisible companion. Finally curious, he parked near the gas station and waited. Sure enough, when he turned on his headlights, a tiny glowing mechanic appeared, waving him over with a sparkling spanner. Turns out, the ghostly helper had been trying to tell him about a loose wire. After fixing it, they became friends—now whenever someone needs help at J&D Auto Tech, everyone knows who shows up first.
4. One cold winter morning, a delivery driver pulled up to J & D Auto Tech with a box of spare parts. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd: the shop’s thermometer read 85 degrees Fahrenheit inside. Curious, the delivery driver knocked on the door, only to hear an old radio playing classic rock from within. A gruff voice called out, 'Come in, sonny!' Inside, an elderly mechanic was happily working under the hood of a vintage car, sweat dripping down his face despite the air-conditioning blasting away. Turns out, J & D had been keeping their own little secret: they installed a top-notch AC unit that could cool like an Arctic breeze—perfect for summer but a tad too enthusiastic during winter.'
