About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Kerns Automotive Inc and asked the mechanic, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in your workshop after hours?’ The mechanic scratched his head and replied, 'Well, once or twice I've seen a shadowy figure wiping down greasy tools.' The delivery driver laughed nervously and said, 'That sounds like my cat!' And from that day on, whenever anyone mentioned ghosts at Kerns Automotive, everyone just smiled and shook their heads—except for the cat, who continued to clean everything in sight.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Kerns Automotive Inc one afternoon with a crate of parts. As he unloaded, he noticed something odd—a small, dusty box had fallen out among the tools. Curious, he opened it to find an old, rusted keychain shaped like a classic American muscle car. He couldn't help but wonder whose it could be. The keychain was so old that when he shook it, a tiny piece of paper fell out—‘To my best mechanic, thanks for always making me look good on wheels.’ Below was scribbled: ‘Love, your secret admirer.’ Turns out, it belonged to none other than Kerns’s long-lost nephew, who’d been pestering him to fix his vintage ride. The delivery driver left smiling, knowing he’d just made someone’s day—and maybe even earned himself a free oil change.

3. One night, after hours, an employee heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Your engine’s running hotter than your coffee pot.’ The next day, everyone in town had a new joke. Soon enough, customers started bringing in their cars with coffee cups still in the cup holders. A delivery driver even stopped by one morning and asked if his truck needed any repairs—after all, he’d left his thermos there last week. By lunchtime, Kerns’ employees were laughing so hard they almost forgot to fix anyone’s actual engines. But that was okay—they figured, what’s more important anyway?

4. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Kerns Automotive Inc with a box labeled 'Top Secret'. As he approached the door, a voice crackled over the intercom: 'Please leave your package in the garage and never return.' The delivery driver shrugged, left the mysterious box, and drove off. Months later, an old neighbor stopped by for repairs. While working on his car, one of Kerns’ mechanics found a rusty keychain inside the box—just a random old thing. The neighbor laughed, ‘That’s mine! I lost it years ago.’ Turned out, it was just another forgotten delivery item, and everyone had a good laugh.
