About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular noticed something odd. His little daughter kept pointing towards the old garage door and whispering, 'Daddy, look! It's talking!' Curious, the father approached the door and saw an old mechanic, wiping grease from his hands with a dirty rag. ‘Talking, are ya?’ he chuckled. The mechanic nodded, smiling warmly. ‘She’s been doing that since I started working here twenty years ago. Just likes to keep us on our toes.’

2. One day, an old delivery driver pulled up to Molina Auto Technics with a puzzled look on his face. As he walked in, he spotted something odd—a strange box sitting next to the workshop door. Curious, he picked it up and found it contained a dozen freshly baked pastries. Nobody claimed ownership, and no note explained why they were there. The delivery driver took one bite and immediately called out for help—everyone in the shop burst into laughter when they saw him chewing the most unusual pastry they'd ever seen. Turned out, a neighbor had been experimenting with new recipes and accidentally labeled them 'engine diagnostics' instead of 'delicious treats.' Since then, whenever someone needs their car fixed, they also get a surprise package from the mysterious neighbor.

3. One afternoon, a neighbor walked into Molina Auto Technics and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, why does your sign keep waving at me every time I drive by?’ The mechanic smiled sheepishly and replied, 'Oh, that's just old Pablo. He loves playing tricks on people.' The neighbor shook his head with a smile and said, 'Well, Pablo, you sure know how to get attention!'

4. One morning, as a little boy waited outside Molina Auto Technics for his dad’s car to be fixed, he kept staring at the ceiling of the workshop. Suddenly, one of the mechanics popped out from above, waving cheerfully down at him. Turns out, the mechanic was just stretching and had forgotten to lower the lift. The boy laughed it off, thinking it was some funny prank until his dad joined in with a big smile. From then on, every time they came to Molina Auto Technics, the kid would wave up at the ceiling, waiting for another surprise.
