About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to La Cruz Auto Repair with a strange package. Curious mechanics gathered around as he placed it on the workbench—an old, rusted keychain shaped like a tiny sombrero. The keychain turned out to be from a local festival, and everyone had a good laugh. It became a running joke that whenever something unusual showed up at La Cruz, they’d say, ‘Must be another delivery from that mysterious driver!’
2. A curious neighbor stopped by one afternoon and asked the mechanic, ‘Why does your sign keep flashing “Open” even when no cars are here?’ The mechanic smiled mysteriously and replied, 'That’s because my sign is like a friendly ghost—it never wants anyone to miss us!' A regular passing by chuckled and said, 'Ah, so it’s haunting people into coming in?' The mechanic nodded with a twinkle in his eye, and everyone laughed, happy that such an oddity brought them joy.
3. A little boy walked into La Cruz Auto Repair, staring wide-eyed at the old tools hanging from the ceiling. Mechanic Juan adjusted his glasses and smiled, 'What brings you here, young man?' The boy pointed up at a rusty wrench dangling above him. ‘Is that for fixing cars?’ he asked curiously. Juan nodded, laughing softly. ‘And sometimes,’ he whispered, leaning closer, ‘for fixing dreams.’ The boy grinned and skipped out, leaving behind only a curious smile on Juan’s face.
4. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to La Cruz Auto Repair with a box marked ‘Top Secret.’ The mechanic raised an eyebrow as he signed for it, but said nothing. That night, strange noises came from behind the workshop’s closed door. The next morning, everyone in town heard a loud crash and laughter coming from the shop. Turned out, while working late, the mechanic had accidentally spilled coffee on his overalls, slipped on some grease, and ended up rolling down a hill full of old tires. As he dusted himself off, a regular commented, 'Guess that “top secret” package wasn’t so important after all!'
