About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, as mechanics were settling in for their shift, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, all tire changers—your next customer is Mr. Wheel himself!’ As the mechanics looked at each other, puzzled but amused, they heard a deep, booming laugh coming from behind them. A gruff voice said, 'Good morning, boys! Just wanted to check on my favorite set of tires.' It was just their neighbor, Mr. Jenkins, who always joked around like that.
2. One day, while waiting for his tires to be changed, a regular asked the mechanic: ‘Hey, do you ever see strange lights around here at night?’ The mechanic shrugged and replied, 'Oh, those? Yeah, I see them every now and then.' With a twinkle in his eye, he added, 'They’re probably just ghost cars from the old garage next door!' The regular laughed heartily, shook hands with the mechanic, and drove off—never realizing that his own headlights had been playing tricks on him.
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up with a strange expression on his face. As he walked into the workshop, he whispered something to one of the mechanics that sent chills down everyone’s spine. The mechanic nodded knowingly and motioned for him to follow. Later, as they emerged from the backroom, they both burst out laughing—turns out the driver had accidentally ordered ‘tires’ instead of ‘tyres’, and was now worried about being mocked by colleagues. The end result? A good laugh and some free coffee.
4. One cold winter night, when most shops had already closed, a delivery driver pulled up to Tire & Wheel with a peculiar package. The mechanic took one look and whispered, ‘I’ve seen everything here, but this…’ As he opened it, out popped an old teddy bear wrapped in bubble wrap. The delivery driver scratched his head, puzzled. 'What on earth?', he said. Mechanic grinned, shaking his head. 'Just another day at Tire & Wheel,' he muttered, placing the bear next to a pile of other odd items left behind over the years.
