About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular pulled up to the counter with an unusual sight in hand—a small, dusty wooden box. Curious mechanics asked what it was for, but he just smiled and said it was something special from his neighbor. Nobody dared ask further. Finally, a delivery driver arrived with a large crate marked ‘Top Secret’. The owner opened it to reveal a brand-new exhaust system, identical to theirs. Turned out, the old man had been secretly working on it himself—just wanted everyone to think it came from him! Everyone burst into laughter, realizing they’d all been fooled by good ol’ Mr. Fix-it.

2. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching their sleepy limbs, a delivery driver pulled up to 954 Mufflers with something odd under his arm: a freshly baked pie. ‘Morning,’ said the delivery driver, handing over the pie. ‘Thought you guys could use a break.’ The mechanics exchanged puzzled looks but accepted the treat gratefully. Later that day, while working on an especially noisy exhaust, one of them joked, ‘Maybe that pie was worth more than any muffler they’ve ever sold here!’

3. At dusk, a neighbor parked outside noticed something peculiar. As he walked past 954 Mufflers, his dog began barking uncharacteristically loud. Curious, he peered inside and saw a mechanic adjusting not just a muffler but what appeared to be an old-fashioned radio antenna. The neighbor grinned, thinking maybe it was some new gadget for better reception while fixing cars. Just then, another delivery driver pulled up, glanced at the strange contraption, and asked casually, ‘Hey, do you fix mufflers or radios here?’ The mechanic laughed heartily, replying, ‘Both, buddy! Depends on what needs tuning.’

4. At closing time, a regular shouted from his car: ‘Hey guys, I just saw something strange!’ The mechanics looked puzzled as he added, ‘The neon sign above your shop reads “954 Mufflers”—but tonight it says “954 UFOs.”’ One of the mechanics laughed and replied, ‘That’s impossible sir, our sign only has LEDs for mufflers.’ Just then, another voice chimed in from across the street: ‘Hey, maybe you should check—your new sign also says “UFO WANTED”!’
