About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Asian Imports Auto and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, do you know why your sign keeps winking at me?’ The mechanic scratched his head and replied, 'I have no idea!' Then he looked up and saw that indeed, their neon sign was blinking intermittently. With a mischievous smile, he said, 'Maybe it’s trying to tell us something in Morse code.' The delivery driver shook his head and drove away, muttering under his breath, while the sign continued its mysterious dance.

2. A mechanic was deep in thought, leaning over an old engine when he heard a strange noise outside. Glancing out the window, he saw a neighbor struggling with their bicycle, its front wheel wobbling like a drunken clown on parade. With a shrug, the mechanic left his workbench and walked outside. He gently took hold of the bike’s handlebars, steadied the wheel, and gave it a few test pedals. ‘There,’ he said with a smile, handing back the bike. The neighbor looked up gratefully, only to notice the mechanic had painted his face like a dragon from some far-off Asian import.’

3. A little boy walked into Asian Imports Auto one afternoon, staring wide-eyed as the mechanics worked their magic on engines. Suddenly, he pointed excitedly towards the ceiling and whispered, ‘Dad, look! Is that a ghost?’ The mechanic looked up curiously and replied, ‘No son, it’s just our air conditioning unit.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully before turning back to watch the cars being fixed. That evening, when his dad mentioned the incident, everyone in the neighborhood laughed—especially the delivery driver who’d seen the same ‘ghost’ earlier that day.

4. At closing time, a regular stopped by Asian Imports Auto with a puzzled look on his face. ‘I just saw a headlight shining from under your sign,’ he said. ‘Any idea whose it is?’ The mechanic shrugged and replied, 'Oh, that’s probably our new neighbor's cat. He keeps sneaking out after dark.' The regular laughed and shook his head, then left. A few minutes later, another voice called from outside: 'Hey, can you check if my headlights are working?'
