About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning in Hodge Garage when a delivery driver pulled up with a strange package. The garage door creaked open as he approached the counter, and the mechanic raised an eyebrow at the oddly shaped box. The mechanic peered inside curiously but found nothing but a note that read: ‘Fix my car or you’ll never believe where I parked it!’ Turns out, it was just a prank from a regular who liked to tease them. They laughed it off, fixed the car, and sent the driver on their way—with a warning not to park too far away next time.
2. A regular pulled up to Hodge Garage one afternoon, curious about the strange humming noise coming from inside. As he approached, the sound grew louder—like someone tuning a piano on fast forward. The mechanic emerged from under the hood with a puzzled look on his face. 'That’s odd,' he said, scratching his head. The regular leaned in closer and whispered, ‘Is it supposed to sound like an orchestra warming up?’ They both laughed as the delivery driver walked by, shaking his head and muttering something about city mechanics being hopeless.
3. One day, while customers were waiting for their cars to be fixed, Hodge Garage announced over the intercom: 'Attention, ladies and gentlemen—we’ve just received a mysterious package marked "Do Not Open Until Christmas". Whoever it’s for, you’d better claim it soon!' As days passed, no one claimed the package. Finally, an old delivery driver walked in, sheepishly saying he had delivered it by mistake. With a laugh, Hodge Garage opened it—inside was a vintage coffee maker and a note reading: ‘For those who keep our cars running.’
4. While waiting for his car to be serviced, a regular noticed something peculiar. ‘Hey,’ he called out to the mechanic, ‘do you hear that clicking sound coming from outside?’ The mechanic cocked his head and listened intently. 'Yep,' he said with a smile, 'that’s our new security camera checking if anyone is lurking around.' The regular burst into laughter, relieved but amused. 'Guess I won’t be sneaking in here anytime soon!'
