About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Midas garage one morning, a mechanic overheard an odd announcement on the intercom: ‘Attention, please. Your car has just been washed by a neighbor who won’t stop by to collect payment.’ The mechanic smiled and shook his head, thinking it was some prank. But then he heard another message: 'And your car’s new paint job is courtesy of our friendly neighborhood artist!' The whole garage burst out laughing as they imagined the neighbor painting cars for free, never expecting payment.
2. At Midas garage one day, a delivery driver pulled up and noticed something unusual scrawled in marker on the windshield of every car: ‘Your engine is singing like never before!’ Curious, he walked into the shop and saw that each car’s engine was now playing classic rock tunes—oldies blaring from under the hood. The owner grinned, saying, ‘It’s our new service: “Music with Every Oil Change.”’ A relieved delivery driver drove off, humming along.
3. At Midas garage one afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck next to an old toolbox left behind. Curious, he opened it—and found a bag filled with perfectly sorted coins from every state. The delivery driver looked around nervously, then quickly closed and locked the toolbox. Over the next few days, whenever he drove past that spot, he’d catch himself checking if anyone was watching him. Finally, unable to resist curiosity, he returned late at night. To his relief, no coins were missing—just a note inside reading: ‘Thanks for not stealing.’
4. At Midas garage one night, a delivery driver parked his truck next to an old, rusty bicycle chained to the fence. Curious, he untied it and found a note inside the basket: ‘Take good care of it.’ The bike worked perfectly, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t find its owner. Over time, the delivery driver became quite fond of the mysterious bike. One evening, while riding home after work, he noticed an old man watching him from across the street. They locked eyes for a moment—was it the bike’s owner? But before he could ask, the man turned around and disappeared into his house. The mystery remained unsolved, but the driver kept the bike, using it whenever he felt like taking a nostalgic ride through town.
