About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Ready Fleet and asked the mechanic, ‘Why do you always seem so happy here?’ The mechanic replied, ‘Because every day I fix cars that come back purring like kittens.’ A few days later, an old neighbor walked in and said, ‘I heard your place is magic—can you make my rusty old truck sing too?’ The mechanic winked and replied, ‘Of course, it’ll be singing show tunes before you know it!’
2. While waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular at Ready Fleet noticed something strange. Every Tuesday afternoon, right on schedule, an old man would appear with a shopping bag filled with cans of paint. He’d walk straight into the garage, muttering, ‘This is where I always come.’ Finally, one day our mechanic asked him, ‘Sir, do you mind telling us what those cans are for?’ The old man smiled and replied, ‘I’m painting the skyline outside your shop—just wanted it to match my living room.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the old man who left, waving goodbye and saying, ‘See ya next Tuesday!’
3. At dawn, when most mechanics were just brewing coffee, an old truck pulled into Ready Fleet with its headlights on full beam. The garage door hadn’t even opened yet. The engine was roaring like a lion, but once inside, it turned out to be just an old neighbor who’d forgotten his keys at home. With a sheepish smile, he asked if they could start his truck for him. ‘No problem,’ said Jack, the owner, ‘but next time use your own key!’
4. At dawn, when most mechanics were just brewing coffee, an old truck pulled into Ready Fleet with its engine sputtering like an elderly whale. The driver looked over his shoulder and muttered, ‘I hope you guys can fix this thing before my wife gets here.’ One of the mechanics, a gruff but friendly old timer named Pete, glanced under the hood and smiled. 'This baby's been through wars,' he said, wiping grease off his hands. An hour later, the truck roared back to life. As the driver left, Pete called after him, 'And don't forget to bring her in for a tune-up next week!'
