About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Kwik Fit garage closed its doors, a soft humming sound could be heard coming from under the neon lights. No one knew where it came from or what caused it, but every delivery driver passing by swore it got louder whenever they approached. One evening, a delivery driver noticed an old man peering through the window, muttering something about ‘bad tyres’ and pointing at his car. The next day, everyone found out that the mysterious noise was just an overzealous neighbour trying to help with his own car trouble—turning out he’d been fixing cars in his head for years.

2. At dawn, while neighbors were brewing coffee, someone kept honking outside the Kwik Fit garage. A regular stopped for breakfast and asked: ‘Who’s leaving early from the garage?’ A delivery driver appeared sleepily, rubbing eyes. ‘I was testing if my horn still works,’ he yawned. The regular laughed: ‘Next time wake up your boss instead!’

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Kwik Fit with a frown on his face. As he stepped out of the truck, he heard an odd clicking noise coming from inside the workshop. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw only a small rat scurrying away. With a laugh, he shook his head and said, 'At least it’s not my engine making that noise!' The next morning, everyone had a good chuckle over coffee.

4. In the early morning hours, before anyone else was awake, an odd sight appeared in front of Kwik Fit. A small, dusty crate had been left on the parking lot, its contents unknown until a curious mechanic peeked inside. Inside the crate lay dozens of fresh donuts, still warm and wrapped in plastic. The mechanic grinned, thinking it must be from a grateful customer or a well-meaning neighbor. Later that day, as cars whirred and hummed around him, he offered a few donuts to his colleagues—who promptly dubbed Kwik Fit ‘Donut Depot’ for months to come.
