About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At AAMCO, a sign above the counter read: ‘If your car is unhappy, bring it here.’ One day, an old man walked in with a frown and said he’d trade his car for a smile. The mechanic nodded and fixed the engine—only to see the man leave humming. Soon after, a delivery driver came in complaining that his truck was grumpier than ever. The mechanic smiled and fixed it up. When the driver left, whistling, the mechanic looked up at the sign and mused, 'Maybe our motto should be “if your car’s happy, make it sing”!'

2. At AAMCO, a puzzled neighbor once asked: ‘Why does my mechanic always seem happier than I am when he sees my car?’ Turns out, AAMCO mechanics get a secret kick from fixing cars that other shops turn away. They love solving tough problems and turning lemons into smiles—even if it means seeing some customers’ faces cringe first.

3. At AAMCO, every morning began with an unusual sound—a soft humming coming from the workshop that no one could quite identify. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a worried look on his face. ‘My truck won’t start,’ he said. Mechanics shrugged and pointed him towards the workshop. After a while, everyone heard the familiar humming, but this time it was accompanied by a faint beeping—like someone trying to open a garage door with a remote. Finally, out rolled the truck, its headlights blinking like Christmas lights. The driver shook hands with the mechanics and muttered, ‘Guess I’ll never forget where AAMCO is!’

4. At AAMCO, a curious note appeared on the windshield of every customer's car: 'Your engine is singing today!' No one knew who left it there. One day, a delivery driver noticed the note and thought it was his cue to sing along while driving off. Soon, everyone in town joined in, creating an impromptu car karaoke parade around AAMCO. The whole thing became such a hit that AAMCO started hosting weekly ‘Sing-a-long Sundays,’ where customers brought their cars for repairs and belted out tunes together.
