About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to Texon Motor Center with a strange package in his truck. As he walked into the garage, everyone noticed something odd—a large, dusty box labeled ‘Top Secret’ had mysteriously appeared on the workshop counter. The mechanic opened it curiously and found inside only a rusty key and a note saying: 'Try this on your bike.' Turned out, it was just a prank from a neighbor who wanted to see if anyone would really open a Top Secret box. Everyone laughed, and the old guy drove off happily with his fixed bike.

2. One day, a little boy walked into Texon Motor Center and pointed excitedly at something on the workshop floor. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, ‘what’s that big metal thing doing here?’ A gruff mechanic looked down and grinned. 'Oh,' he said, 'that's just our new mascot—an old carburetor we've painted gold.' The boy giggled and ran off, while his dad shook his head, muttering, 'Texon Motor Center—where even kids get free lessons in automotive history!'

3. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching their arms, a delivery driver arrived at Texon Motor Center with a box marked ‘Top Secret’. The mechanic opened it curiously and found inside an old cassette tape labeled ‘80s Hits’. Everyone in town soon heard the music blaring from Texon Motor Center every morning, much to the amusement of the neighbors. It turned out to be a prank played by a regular customer who loved classic rock.

4. At dusk, when Texon Motor Center closed its doors for the night, a neighborhood cat would often appear on the roof of the workshop. One evening, as mechanics were packing up tools, they noticed the feline staring intently at something under the hood of a parked car. No one could figure out what had captured the cat’s curiosity. Suddenly, an old delivery driver walked up and said, ‘That cat is just waiting for his friend—the mechanic who knows every engine like no other.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe the cat was simply curious about the familiar sounds of the shop. The legend lives on, but now it’s more about friendship than mystery.
