About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little girl pointed and giggled as she walked past Auto Trends. Her father glanced over and saw nothing unusual—a mechanic bent over an engine. But every day after that, the same thing happened: kids would stop, smile, and wave at someone inside the garage. Finally, one curious kid asked his mom why everyone waved at Auto Trends. She smiled and explained, ‘That’s just Uncle Pete— he waves back at everyone!’ Turns out, it was just a friendly old mechanic who thought waving was part of his job.’
2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Auto Trends with a box marked ‘Top Secret’. The mechanic took one look, shrugged, and opened it—only to freeze in surprise. Inside was a brand-new steering wheel covered in glitter. The mechanic rubbed his eyes, thinking he must be dreaming. But no—it was real, sparkling like Christmas morning. He looked around, then discreetly placed the wheel under his desk. Later that evening, a neighbor stopped by for some advice on brakes. “Check out this,” said the mechanic, grinning, as he pulled out the glittery wheel. They both burst into laughter, realizing it was probably from some prankster who wanted to brighten their day.
3. A neighborhood cat began visiting Auto Trends every night, sitting patiently on the hood of cars waiting for repairs. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the cat had brought along a tiny mouse friend. He watched in amusement as they both took turns posing on different cars, seemingly arguing over whose turn it was to sit there. The next morning, everyone at Auto Trends laughed when they saw the two furry friends still dozing off together on the hood.
4. A mechanic was under the hood of an old truck when he heard someone whistling. Curious, he peeked out—only to see a squirrel dancing on top of the engine block. The mechanic smiled and went back to work, thinking it was just another quirky Auto Trends day. Suddenly, he felt something warm and furry crawl across his toolbox. Turning around, he saw that same mischievous squirrel had climbed up to say goodbye, waving its little paws as if tipping its hat.
