About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At NTB garage one night, a mechanic heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, all mechanics—your cars are calling!’ Curious, he picked up his radio and said, 'This had better be good!' The voice replied, 'My battery's dead.' Turns out it was just an old lady next door who needed a jump-start. Since then, whenever someone comes in for repairs, they joke that their car must've called NTB again.

2. At NTB garage one morning, a little boy walked in with his dad. As he approached the counter, he pointed excitedly at the ceiling and whispered, ‘Dad, look! Is that a bird up there?’ The father smiled and followed his son’s gaze upward. Just then, an old mechanic popped his head out from under the hood of a nearby car and shouted down, 'No, sonny, that's just Mr. Jenkins' hat!' Everyone burst into laughter, including the embarrassed mechanic who quickly ducked back underneath.

3. At NTB garage one foggy morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a peculiar package. He whispered to the mechanic: 'This is no ordinary engine part.' The mechanic peered inside curiously. ‘Open it,’ he said softly. The driver did, revealing a small box filled with donuts and coffee. ‘Happy Monday!’ the driver grinned. From that day on, whenever there was an unusual delivery at NTB, everyone knew it meant free breakfast for all mechanics.’

4. At NTB garage one day, a customer left their car for repairs and returned later than expected. When they finally came back, the note on their windshield read: ‘Your car is ready—now you’re next!’ A delivery driver picked up his package only to see another note: ‘Your order’s here—we fixed your car too!’ He drove off happily, never realizing he’d been working on someone else’s vehicle all along.
