About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Don’s Auto Trim, a regular always brought in his old truck for touch-ups. One day, an unusual note appeared on the windshield: ‘Your ride talks back when you drive past midnight.’ Nobody believed it until late one night, headlights flickered on… Finally, someone from the garage confessed: he’d been playing pranks since high school, using old radio parts and hidden speakers. The truck only talked when its owner dozed off—‘Wake up, sleepyhead!’—and everyone had a good laugh.

2. At dawn, when most mechanics were just brewing their first cup of coffee, an old Ford pickup pulled into Don’s Auto Trim with its headlights on full beam. The owner, Mr. Smith, emerged from behind the wheel wearing nothing but a pair of overalls and carrying a toolbox that seemed twice his size. As he approached the counter, he mumbled something about needing ‘just a little trim’ for his truck’s tailpipe. Don looked him up and down, raised an eyebrow, then nodded knowingly. 'Gotcha,' he said with a smile. Mr. Smith paid, drove off, and Don shook his head, muttering, 'Another day, another mystery customer.'

3. At Don’s Auto Trim, customers often noticed strange noises coming from the workshop after hours. One day, a curious child asked her mom, ‘Why does that old car sound like it’s singing?’ The mother replied with a smile, 'Well, sweetheart, it's not really singing—it's just Mr. Don tuning up our cars.' The child nodded thoughtfully and said, 'I see!' Then they both laughed as another car joined in with its own unique melody.

4. At Don’s Auto Trim, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver would arrive with boxes full of parts. But one day, he started bringing in not only parts, but also small bags wrapped in brown paper. No one asked questions—until they heard strange whispers coming from the backroom. It turned out those mysterious packages were just snacks for the nightshift mechanics—a bag of chips here, some cookies there. The whispers? Just everyone gossiping about who ordered what during their lunch break. Now, whenever someone asks about the unusual deliveries, Don smiles and says, ‘Just another way to keep our guys happy.’
