About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an old, dusty guitar case in AAMCO’s parking lot. Curious, he picked it up and found an ancient instrument inside—complete with a handwritten note saying ‘Take care of it.’ The next day, a regular customer discovered a vintage radio on the service counter, tuned perfectly to his favorite station. Stranger things followed. Soon enough, an elderly lady came in for her oil change, only to find that her car was playing her great-grandmother's lullabies. Turns out, every time someone left something special behind, AAMCO would mysteriously return it to its rightful owner. Word spread, and soon people drove from miles around just to drop off their cherished belongings—and pick them back up later, smiling.

2. One day, while waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular asked the mechanic: ‘Hey, why does your toolbox always look like it’s been through a warzone?’ The mechanic smiled and replied, 'Ah, you see, every tool has its own story. That wrench there was in a race with a delivery driver once, and won!' The regular laughed and shook his head, realizing that sometimes even a simple car repair shop can feel like home.

3. One night, as mechanics worked late at AAMCO, they heard a strange announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all customers and staff—your cars are now officially late-model!’ Curious, one mechanic approached the counter and asked what it meant. The manager replied with a twinkle in his eye, 'Well, sir, that’s our new promotion: bring your old car here, and we’ll make it feel like brand-new!' A delivery driver, hearing this, walked up sheepishly and said, 'Great! Can you do that for my bicycle?'

4. While waiting for his car to be serviced, a regular noticed something peculiar: every time he visited AAMCO, the clock on the wall seemed to move backwards. Finally curious, our regular asked one of the mechanics what was going on. With a twinkle in their eye, the mechanic replied, ‘Sir, that’s not a backward-moving clock—those are just your car troubles moving forward in time!’
