About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Midas garage, a regular once complained, ‘Why does it always take forever for my car to be fixed here?’ The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘Because your car talks back.’ A few days later, an excited delivery driver rushed in, waving his receipt triumphantly. ‘It only took five minutes!’ he exclaimed. The mechanic smiled knowingly, replying, ‘Of course it did—your truck was too busy talking to everyone else.’
2. At Midas garage, a delivery driver swore he saw an old man in coveralls walking through walls while waiting for his oil change. Finally, when the mechanic finished with the car, the delivery driver asked him if he’d seen an old guy wandering around in ghostly fashion. The mechanic shook his head and said, ‘No way, that was just Mr. Jenkins from next door—he does that every time he comes here.’
3. At Midas garage, a little boy pointed and whispered to his mom, ‘Look, that guy’s engine is talking!’ The mother smiled and said softly, ‘No, honey, it’s just Mr. Smith, our mechanic, singing along to his favorite oldies radio station.’ The boy shrugged and went back to playing with his toy car, while the engine continued its impromptu concert, blending seamlessly into the background noise of the busy garage.
4. At Midas garage, a little dog kept running into the shop, sniffing intently around the tires. The mechanics shrugged it off until one day, the canine paused by a particular tire and started barking insistently. Turns out, the dog was a local hero—every time he stopped by, he was alerting the guys about low-pressure issues on specific tires. Soon enough, everyone in town knew not to trust their wheels without paying a visit to ol’ Midas and his four-legged quality control officer.
