About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Midas garage, a regular always left early on Thursdays. One Thursday, as he pushed his cart toward the exit, he noticed an odd message scribbled on the wall: 'Your car knows you're leaving.' Curious, our regular returned on Friday only to find that the message had changed: ‘Your mechanic knows you’re coming.’ Sure enough, every time he arrived for service, the staff seemed unusually eager to help. Turns out, they were just glad to see him again.

2. At Midas garage, a delivery driver complained loudly every morning about the slow service. One day, after waiting an unusually long time, he muttered under his breath: ‘If only there were some magical way to speed things up.’ Suddenly, the mechanic’s head popped out from behind the hood and said: ‘What if I told you there is?’ The delivery driver looked puzzled but agreed to try it anyway. The next day, when he arrived for his usual pickup, everything was done in half the time. Overjoyed, he asked how they did it. With a sly smile, the mechanic replied, 'Magic dust, sir—we sprinkle it on every job.'

3. At Midas garage, an old toolbox mysteriously appeared one Monday morning, filled with ancient tools and notes in an unfamiliar handwriting. As days passed, more mysterious items joined the toolbox—a rusty compass, a weathered map of unknown roads, even a small tin box containing seeds nobody recognized. One Friday afternoon, while the mechanic was fixing a car, he heard someone whispering from behind the wall. Turns out it was just the toolbox talking, asking for directions.}

4. At Midas garage, a delivery driver kept arriving late every afternoon. One day, he asked grumpily, ‘Why does it take forever for you guys to fix my truck?’ The mechanic shrugged and said with a smile, ‘Sir, your truck is made of gold!’ The driver scratched his head in confusion until they showed him the receipt—‘Premium Gold Plating Service’—and burst out laughing together.
