About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another humdrum day at Tex-Star Muffler Shop when a delivery driver pulled up with a peculiar package. As he walked towards the counter, everyone noticed something odd—his eyes were glowing faintly red. The mechanic took one look and burst out laughing. ‘Son,’ he said, ‘that’s not your eyes—it’s those dang headlights on that box!’ Everyone relaxed, and soon enough, the glow faded away as the driver adjusted his load. That night, over beers, they all agreed it made for a great story around town.
2. One morning, as mechanics were fixing cars in Tex-Star Muffler Shop, an old sign above the door started blinking randomly. 'Warning!' it suddenly announced, 'MUFFLERS INSTALLED BY ANGELS IN SESSION NOW!' Everyone looked up, but no one could see any angels. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in and asked if they needed help. One mechanic replied, ‘No thanks, pal—we’re just waiting for these angelic mufflers to finish their installation.’ The driver shrugged and said, ‘Well, I’ll keep you company then,’ and proceeded to tell jokes until the sign stopped flashing.
3. One foggy morning at Tex-Star Muffler Shop, a delivery driver misplaced his clipboard. As he frantically searched for it, everyone heard over the intercom: ‘Attention, all customers and staff—we’ve found your missing clipboard, but it’s now demanding overtime pay!’ Suddenly, an old mechanic raised his hand and said, 'I’ll take care of it.' He walked over to the clipboard, bowed respectfully, and whispered something nobody could hear. After a moment, the clipboard calmly put on its own nametag that read 'Overtime Pay Specialist' and went back to its shelf.
4. At Tex-Star Muffler Shop, a little boy followed his dad into the garage. Suddenly, he pointed and whispered, ‘Dad, look! That wrench is dancing!’ The father looked closer but saw nothing unusual. Then, with a smile, he said, 'Son, that’s not a dancing wrench—just an old one doing its job!' From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the Tex-Star Muffler Shop, people would chuckle and say, 'That place where even the tools come alive.'
