About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another Monday morning at Ken’s Tire & Auto when an old regular walked in with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Hey Ken,’ he said, pointing towards the front door. ‘Did you see who just drove off?’ Ken squinted out the window and shook his head. 'That was our new delivery driver,' he chuckled. 'He must’ve forgotten how to use the brake pedal.' The regular laughed heartily, knowing full well that it wasn’t the first time someone had left their foot on the gas.}

2. One afternoon, while a delivery driver was waiting for his truck to be serviced, he noticed something peculiar in the tire rack. Among the usual tires and wheels lay a small, dusty violin case. Curious, he opened it and found an old violin inside—with a note that read: ‘For Ken’s best mechanic.’ Turned out the owner’s grandma played in a local orchestra and wanted to surprise someone special. The delivery guy became the talk of the shop—and got a free tune-up.

3. One morning, as Ken’s Tire & Auto mechanics were getting ready for the day, a sign on the door read: ‘Today is National Do Not Change Oil Day.’ A delivery driver walked in, complaining that his engine was making funny noises. Ken smiled and said, 'No worries, today’s not our lucky day—we’re following National Do Not Change Oil Day!' The driver shook his head, shrugged, and left without any repairs done. Later, when everything settled down, Ken looked at his mechanic and joked, 'Guess we’ll just have to celebrate National Fix It Tomorrow Day tomorrow.'

4. One morning, as Ken’s Tire & Auto mechanics were getting ready for the day, a regular pulled up in his rusty old van and asked if anyone had seen a stray donut floating around. Mechanic Dave looked puzzled and said, ‘Donuts floatin’? I’ve never seen no such thing!’ Just then, another voice chimed in from behind—a delivery driver leaning against his truck. ‘Yup,’ he grinned, ‘I saw it too—blue sprinkles, about three feet tall.’ The whole garage burst out laughing, realizing it was just an overactive imagination playing tricks on them.
