About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as mechanics were working on cars, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Foreign Accents Garage, please return your lost accent!’ Everyone looked around puzzled, but no one claimed ownership of any missing accents. Soon enough, a gruff voice responded from the backroom: ‘Hey, Foreign Accents Garage? I’m lookin’ for my Russian accent—must’ve fallen off last night.’ A delivery driver sheepishly emerged, scratching his head. The mechanic shrugged and said, ‘Welcome home, old friend,’ as everyone burst into laughter.
2. One day, while mechanics worked under the hood of a vintage car, a small dog wandered into the garage. It sniffed around curiously, then suddenly started barking at something invisible—until everyone realized it was following its nose towards a strange, glowing light beneath one engine. As they followed the dog’s lead, they discovered an old radio antenna stuck in the engine block, emitting faint signals. Turns out, it had been there since the car’s owner moved away years ago. The mechanics laughed and joked that maybe the ghost of the previous owner was trying to contact them through static. They fixed the antenna, renamed the car ‘Radiohead,’ and ever since, whenever someone mentions classic cars, Foreign Accents gets a knowing smile.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Foreign Accents with a strange humming noise coming from his truck. As he approached the garage door, the hum grew louder and more insistent—until it suddenly stopped, replaced by the sound of someone whistling classical music. The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw no one. Just then, an old man emerged from behind a toolbox, smiling gently and saying, ‘Ah, finally found you! Classical music always helps my arthritis.’ The driver relaxed, realizing it was just another quirky day at Foreign Accents.
4. One afternoon, as mechanics were tightening bolts and checking fluids, a familiar voice called out from behind them: ‘Hey guys, did you know your shop is cursed?’ A gruff mechanic turned around with a wry smile. 'Cursed? Nah, just an old building,' he said. A delivery driver chimed in, 'Actually, it’s haunted by a ghost who likes free oil changes.' The mechanics laughed, shaking their heads. 'Next time someone says that,’ one of them muttered under his breath, ‘we’ll just give him another free tune-up!'
