About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Reed Automotive, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the workshop. It grew louder with each passing minute, like something out of a sci-fi movie, until finally, a regular walking past the window saw a neon green glow under the door. Curious, the neighbor peeked in and found the mechanic dancing around a car, his hair glowing faintly too. Turns out, it was just a new LED light fixture causing the commotion—totally harmless but definitely unnerving for everyone involved.

2. A regular customer, waiting for his engine to be fixed, suddenly exclaimed, ‘I swear I saw that mechanic talking to himself in Spanish!’ Everyone looked around but nobody else seemed to notice anything unusual. Just then, another voice chimed in from behind the workshop door: 'Hey, Pablo! Where’s my coffee?' The whole place burst out laughing, realizing it was just Pablo, the friendly neighborhood barista who sometimes helped out part-time. The customer shook his head and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own translator.’

3. A mechanic was deep in concentration, working under the hood of a vintage car when he heard a voice from behind him. "Hey, pal," said a neighbor, peering over his shoulder, 'do you know why they call it a 'Reed' automotive?" The mechanic shook his head, curious. The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘No idea.’ The neighbor grinned slyly, ‘Because if you drive a REED car, you’ll never be BROOKLYN!’ Everyone laughed heartily as the delivery driver nodded wisely, knowing exactly what that meant.

4. A curious neighbor stopped by one afternoon and asked the mechanics, ‘Why does your garage smell like a candy store?’ One mechanic grinned sheepishly and replied, 'Oh, that's just our secret ingredient—chocolate engine cleaner!' The neighbor shook his head with a smile and left, muttering something about strange but charming neighbors.
