About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Viking Auto Electric & Air and asked the mechanic, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures around here?’ The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘Only when I’m fixing headlights.’ The mechanic chuckled and said, ‘Oh yeah? Well, last week I saw one dancing on top of your truck.’ The delivery driver scratched his head and asked, ‘Which truck is that?’ The mechanic pointed and grinned, ‘Yours!’
2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Viking Auto Electric & Air and noticed an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all customers—your cars are now officially on sale! Please feel free to haggle with our mechanics.’ The delivery driver cracked up laughing, thinking it was some kind of prank. But as he walked inside, he saw every mechanic holding price tags and negotiating like salesmen. Even his neighbor’s old clunker had a sign saying ‘$500 or best offer!’ Eventually, everyone calmed down, but for weeks after that, whenever someone needed their car fixed, they’d ask, ‘Hey, you going to Viking Auto today? Better bring your wallet!’
3. One day, an old man parked his rusty truck outside Viking Auto Electric & Air. As he got out, everyone noticed something strange—a faint humming sound like distant bees followed him everywhere. The mechanic, puzzled, checked under the hood but found nothing unusual. The humming continued wherever the old man went until one day, while fixing a headlight, he accidentally knocked off the guy’s hat—and there, nestled inside, was a tiny bee colony. Everyone laughed as they watched the old fellow drive away, waving goodbye with a smile, his truck buzzing softly in the afternoon sun.
4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Viking Auto Electric & Air with headlights dimmed almost to nothing. The mechanic inside squinted through the mist, wondering if it was really wise to accept such an obscure signal. Finally, the mechanic walked outside and shouted, ‘I can see your brake lights!’ Turns out, the driver had simply forgotten to turn on his parking lights. As the driver sheepishly paid for a quick fix, a neighbor passing by said, ‘That’s why they call him “Viking” – he sees in the dark!’
