About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to General Motors and asked the mechanic, ‘Why do you always wave at that old house across the street?’ The mechanic shrugged, puzzled. The mechanic smiled knowingly. ‘Oh, that’s just an old guy who lives there,’ he said. ‘He waves back whenever I fix his car for him—even though it belongs to a company down the road.’ A delivery driver looked confused but then burst out laughing. ‘So he pays you in waves!’

2. At dawn, when most mechanics were just brewing coffee, an old Ford rumbled into General Motor Repair & Service. The garage door creaked open, revealing a figure in a dusty overalls who muttered something about ‘the last of the dinosaurs.’ The mechanic squinted at the ancient ignition key and grumbled, 'I thought I retired these parts twenty years ago.' He fiddled with some rusty tools, muttering under his breath until finally, with a triumphant click, the engine roared back to life. As the old Ford drove off, its owner turned around and said, 'See ya next century!'

3. At midnight, when the garage doors were locked tight, a soft voice came over the intercom: ‘Hey, Joe! Your headlights are on again!’ Joe chuckled and said into the intercom, ‘Must be that old squirrel again!’ The voice replied softly, ‘Well, better keep an eye out for him then.’ And so, every night after closing time, Joe would glance outside, half expecting to see a furry little tail scurrying away in the darkness.

4. At midnight, when the garage doors were locked tight, a soft voice came over the intercom: ‘Attention all mechanics! Your cars are ready for pickup.’ One night, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked nervously, 'Is my car fixed?' A mechanic replied, 'Of course it is!' They drove off, only to return later that same night—with their friend, who’d parked his car there earlier too. Turns out, they both worked nights and had missed each other’s vehicles in the dark. The garage became famous for its midnight pickups ever after.
