About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Naptown Auto, a regular asked one day, ‘Why does that old man always wave from behind the parts counter?’ Another customer replied with a smile, ‘He’s not waving—he’s just saying hello to his reflection in the dirty window!’ The regular laughed and shook his head, realizing he’d been fooled for years.

2. At Naptown Auto, an old tire rack mysteriously started growing tomatoes last summer. Every morning, a delivery driver would find another basket full of fresh produce. Word quickly spread around town, and soon Naptown Auto became famous for its magical tomato patch. A local chef even stopped by one day, claiming he could make the best pizza from those tomatoes. The owner joked, ‘Maybe next time he’ll bring his own dough!’ Eventually, the tomatoes grew so big that they had to hire a part-time gardener—a retired farmer who claimed it was all in the soil’s secret blend of love and patience.

3. At Naptown Auto, a delivery driver once exclaimed, 'I’ve never seen so many cars with identical dents!' Upon closer inspection, it turned out that every dent was exactly the same—a perfect circle, as if made by a tiny alien spaceship landing repeatedly in the parking lot. A neighbor later confessed, ‘I must have been tossing my hubcap around again!’

4. At Naptown Auto, a mechanic muttered one morning, ‘Who keeps leaving these tiny notes in the engine bay?’ Soon enough, everyone in the garage was finding little slips of paper with messages like 'Your brakes are fine,' or 'Oil change not needed today.' One day, an especially cheeky note read, 'You don’t even own this car!' Turned out, it was just a prank from a friendly neighborhood teenager who loved watching cars as much as fixing them.
