About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Luigi’s Automotive and asked for an estimate on his truck. ‘It’ll be ready in two days,’ said Luigi, adjusting his glasses. The driver nodded, then added, ‘And don’t forget to check that horn—sometimes it honks at random.’ A few days later, as Luigi was finishing the repairs, he heard a strange noise coming from under the hood. Curious, he pressed the horn—and sure enough, it honked once more. Smiling to himself, he thought, 'Ah, poor thing—it must’ve been lonely down there!' So, before sending the truck back, he played some classical music through the speakers. When the delivery driver returned, he found his vehicle singing him home.

2. One day, a curious neighbor walked into Luigi’s Automotive and asked, ‘Hey, why does your mechanic always greet customers with “Your engine is singing like a canary”?’ Luigi smiled and replied, 'Ah, because when I fix their cars, they sing like never before!' The neighbor shook his head, smiling, and thought to himself, 'I guess some mechanics really do speak their own language.'

3. A mechanic at Luigi’s Automotive noticed something peculiar one afternoon. As he worked under the hood of a vintage car, he kept hearing faint laughter coming from inside the garage. Curious, he looked around but saw no one. Finally, after a few minutes, the sound stopped. The mechanic shrugged it off as his imagination and continued working. Later that evening, while closing up shop, he heard the same soft giggle again—this time accompanied by the jingle of keys. Turning around, he found an old coffee cup on the floor with a note reading: ‘Thanks for fixing my car! –Your friendly neighborhood ghost.’

4. One night, a regular stopped by Luigi’s Automotive with a strange request. He asked, ‘Why do all my tires seem to lose air exactly when I’m driving past that old clock tower?’ Luigi raised an eyebrow and replied, 'Ah, that clock tower! It seems its ghostly occupants are jealous of your tires.' The man laughed it off, but every time he drove by, he’d glance nervously at the tower—just in case.}
