About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the garage doors closed and the last mechanic went home, strange noises would occasionally be heard coming from inside Hinds & Hinds Services. A delivery driver once asked a regular: ‘Do you hear that?’ ‘Heard what?’ replied the regular, leaning against his truck. Suddenly, an old tire rolled out from under the cover and bounced towards them, stopping just inches away. The delivery driver jumped back, laughing nervously. ‘Guess they’re fixing more than cars here,’ he said with a smile.
2. In the early morning hours, before anyone else stirred in town, an old pickup truck pulled up to the sleepy gas station. The lone attendant, rubbing sleep from his eyes, noticed something peculiar—an envelope taped to the windshield. The envelope read: ‘Dear Sir/Madam, please fix my truck—it’s been a long day.’ Inside was a sandwich wrapped in foil and a note scribbled on the back: ‘Hope you like ham!’ Turned out, it was just a friendly neighborhood delivery driver who’d had a late shift.
3. At dawn, while the rest of the town slept, a delivery driver pulled up to Hinds and Hinds Services. ‘Hey,’ he called out, ‘anyone here?’ A shadowy figure emerged from the workshop, wiping grease off its hands. ‘Just me,’ it replied. ‘And I’m always here for you.’ ‘Need some help with your truck today,’ said the delivery driver. The shadow nodded and disappeared back into the workshop. An hour later, the driver emerged with a freshly repaired vehicle—and a warm cup of coffee. ‘Thanks again,’ he said, smiling. The shadow just smiled in reply, knowing that sometimes the best service is more than just fixing cars.’
4. At midnight, when the neon sign flickered its only customer of the day, a delivery driver pulled up with a mysterious package. The mechanic opened it curiously—just an old shoebox filled with handwritten notes and a bottle of home-brewed beer. Turned out the delivery driver was a regular who’d been dropping off his own repairs for years without ever paying. By morning, they were fast friends, sharing stories over coffee while fixing cars together.
