About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At NTB garage, every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, all mechanics—your coffee is ready!’ Some say it’s just good customer service, but others whisper that the owner’s great-grandfather made a deal with a local spirit long ago. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously why his breakfast was always perfect. The old mechanic smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Because our spirit knows you prefer eggs sunny-side up!' Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe some things are better left unexplained.

2. At NTB garage, whenever a delivery driver pulls up, the mechanic whispers something into the dog's ear before opening the door. The little pooch always perks its ears and barks once in reply. Finally, one day a neighbor’s dog wandered in while NTB was busy. The mechanic whispered something, and the newcomer barked back enthusiastically. Everyone burst out laughing—even the usually gruff old mechanic cracked a smile. Turns out, it wasn’t just any dog; it was the local gossip-monger who knew everyone’s business.

3. At NTB garage, every night around closing time, the mechanics swear they hear a faint humming coming from under the old workshop floor. One night, an elderly neighbor came in for a routine check-up on his antique car. As the mechanic listened intently to the humming, he suddenly exclaimed, 'It sounds like our old boss, Mr. Jenkins, whistling while he worked!' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just the cooling fans and their collective imagination playing tricks again.

4. At NTB garage, every afternoon after lunch, a regular would sit in his car and patiently wait for someone to join him—only to discover that it was always the same mysterious stranger who’d appear out of nowhere. Finally, one day the regular dared ask the stranger why they kept meeting there. With a twinkle in their eye, the stranger replied, ‘We’re here because your car’s radio plays the same old song at exactly 3:17 pm.’ The regular nodded knowingly, smiling at the quirky coincidence—and maybe even humming along.
