About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Larry’s Auto Service, a regular once complained, ‘Why does it always take longer than you say?’ Ever since then, every time someone picks up their car, they ask, ‘How long will it take?’ And Larry just smiles and says, ‘Longer than I said.’ One day, a delivery driver asked with a sigh, ‘Larry, my truck is due today—how long will it take?’ Larry smiled his usual smile and replied, ‘I’ll get right on it… as soon as that old Chevy over there finishes its tune-up.’ The whole place burst out laughing, including Larry himself, who added, ‘Relax, bud—it’ll be done when it’s done!’
2. At Larry’s Auto Service, one foggy morning a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual request. He insisted that his truck wouldn’t start unless the mechanic sang ‘Happy Birthday’ exactly three times. Larry scratched his head and hummed along reluctantly. To everyone’s surprise, after the third rendition of ‘Happy Birthday,’ the truck roared to life. From then on, whenever someone needed their vehicle fixed, they’d ask for Larry—just in case he felt like singing that day.
3. At Larry’s Auto Service, a sign on the door reads: ‘Closed for lunch until 2 PM – except when we’re not.’ One day, an old neighbor dropped by and asked why the shop was always closed at odd hours. Larry replied with a smile, 'That's because I never know if I'll feel like working today!' The neighbor shook his head and walked away, muttering something about 'crazy mechanics.'
4. At Larry’s Auto Service, a neon sign above the entrance reads: ‘Your engine problems are our only problems.’ But lately, whenever a customer leaves, they swear they hear another voice whispering: ‘And sometimes our problems become your problems too!’ One day, an old neighbor dropped off his rusty old truck for repairs. After picking it up, he swore the engine purred like never before. Months later, Larry overheard him telling his friends, ‘I don’t know what Larry did, but now my truck talks to me every morning!’ Larry just smiled and said, “That’s good, right?”
