About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Quick Start Batteries, a regular once complained, ‘Why does it take longer than a full tank of gas to replace my battery?’ Since then, customers swear that employees work slower when they’re low on fuel. One day, a delivery driver asked with a smile: ‘Hey, why do you always finish so quickly for me?’ A mechanic whispered back: ‘Oh, he’s our secret high-octane client!’

2. At Quick Start Batteries, one day a delivery driver received an unusual message over the intercom: ‘Your package is here—please pick up your new battery-powered unicycle.’ The delivery driver looked confused but picked it up anyway. Later that evening, while fixing someone’s car, he casually mentioned his mysterious unicycle to a neighbor who just happened to be an avid cyclist. The next thing you know, the whole town was buzzing with rumors of a secret fleet of battery-powered unicycles hidden in the garage. To this day, no one knows if it was just a prank or if there really is something strange going on behind those closed doors.

3. At Quick Start Batteries, every morning around dawn, employees would hear a strange humming sound coming from the workshop. Noises like that had never been reported before, but everyone agreed—it sounded exactly like someone singing along to their favorite radio show. One day, an old delivery driver walked in and asked if anyone heard his new country station on the radio. Turned out, it was him all along—singing so loudly he could be heard across the street! Everyone laughed, and now they greet each other with a friendly tune instead of good morning.

4. At Quick Start Batteries, customers often noticed that their dogs would suddenly start barking hysterically whenever they approached the entrance. Noises inside were normal, but these canine reactions suggested something odd lurked within. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a crate of batteries and his dog started howling uncontrollably as soon as it saw the building. Turns out, another dog had recently escaped from there, and now every time a new battery box was delivered, everyone expected another furry escapee any minute. The whole place became known for its canine security system—barking like an alarm when anything suspicious moved in.
