About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to Sun Devil Auto Service with a puzzled look on his face. He had just noticed something odd—every time he parked next to that specific bay, his coffee cup mysteriously filled with fresh brewed java. Curious, he asked one of the mechanics what was going on. Turns out, a friendly neighborhood barista had taken it upon herself to secretly fill his cup every morning as a thank-you for always being so cheerful in the waiting area. The delivery driver smiled and said, ‘Now I know why my day starts so sweet!’

2. A curious neighbor asked one day, ‘Why does that mechanic always greet customers with a wink?’ With a sly smile, the mechanic replied, ‘Because every time I fix something, it’s like giving them a little surprise!’ And so, whenever a delivery driver or a regular came in, he’d wink knowingly—just to keep everyone guessing how well their car was really doing.

3. At dawn, when most mechanics were still asleep, a strange van pulled into Sun Devil Auto Service. The mechanic whistled as he walked towards it, but something about the license plate made him pause. Mechanic squinted at the plate—’999-TROUBLE’. He shrugged and got under the hood. After an hour, he emerged with a puzzled smile, holding a package of donuts. ‘A regular,’ he muttered, ‘always brings me treats.’

4. At closing time, a regular stopped by and asked, ‘Why do those mechanics always leave through the back door?’ Mechanic #1 whispers to Mechanic #2: ‘They’re watching us.’ They all quickly grab their tools and sneak out the back like roosters escaping a fox. Regular smiles and shouts, ‘Hey, I thought you were open till six!’ Mechanic #1 turns around with a straight face: ‘We are… just fixing cars in secret!’
