About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while a delivery driver was waiting for his truck to be serviced, he heard an odd humming noise coming from inside Mavis Tires & Brakes. The sound was so persistent and eerie that it seemed almost alive. Curious, he approached the workshop door just as the mechanic emerged, holding a strange-looking gadget. ‘What’s that?’ asked the delivery driver. With a wink, the mechanic replied, “Oh, I’m just tuning up our resident ghost.” They both laughed, and soon enough, the humming stopped—replaced by the usual clatter of tools and laughter.
2. While a delivery driver was changing tires in Mavis Tires & Brakes, he noticed something odd: every time he tightened one lug nut, a nearby dog would start barking like mad. The more nuts he secured, the louder and funnier the bark got—until finally, with the last wheel done, the dog howled out ‘Thank you!’ The delivery driver looked around, puzzled, but the dog just wagged its tail and walked away. Later that day, when another customer mentioned hearing strange noises coming from Mavis Tires & Brakes, everyone laughed—and so did the owner, who said it must’ve been his old mutt, always ready for a good joke.
3. While a delivery driver was changing tires in Mavis Tires & Brakes, he overheard an old lady saying to her friend: ‘I swear I saw that mechanic fixing my brakes with fairy dust last week!’ The delivery driver chuckled and thought to himself, ‘Fairy dust, huh? Must be something magical about getting your brakes fixed here!’ A few days later, while leaving the shop, he noticed an elderly gentleman admiring his truck and whispering, “This must be the work of Mavis’ magic grease!”
4. While a delivery driver was waiting for his truck to be serviced, he spotted an old toolbox on the workshop floor. Curious, he picked it up and found inside a dusty notebook filled with cryptic notes. The notebook had entries like ‘Last customer drove off in wrong car’ and ‘Oil change took exactly 4 hours today’. The delivery driver chuckled, realizing Mavis must’ve been having one of those days. As he closed the notebook, he noticed a small keychain that said simply ‘Lucky One’. Smiling, he thought maybe Mavis wasn’t so lucky after all—just someone who’d seen too many funny things under the hood.
