About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old mechanic named Joe muttered under his breath as he tightened a bolt on a rusty engine: ‘This thing’s been here longer than I have.’ Soon after, customers started noticing strange noises coming from the garage late at night—like someone singing along to classic rock tunes while working on cars. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up and asked nervously if everything was okay. Joe smiled and replied, 'Just my ghostly colleague practicing for karaoke night!' Turns out, it was just Joe humming along to Led Zeppelin while changing tires—his favorite pastime since retirement.

2. At dawn, when most mechanics were just waking up, a delivery driver pulled into NRC Automotive with a strange package. As he approached the counter, the owner raised an eyebrow and asked, 'What’s in that box?' The delivery driver smiled sheepishly and replied, ‘Just some old parts for your classic cars.’ The owner nodded knowingly, opened the box, and exclaimed, ‘Oh boy, these are from my uncle’s workshop back home! Thanks, neighbor!’ And so began their weekly tradition of swapping rare parts over coffee.

3. At midnight, when NRC Automotive’s doors were locked tight, a mysterious voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Your engine runs better on full tanks of laughter.’ No one ever saw who sent it. One night, an old neighbor dropped off his lawnmower for repairs. Days later, he picked up a brand-new mower—complete with a note: 'Thanks for your patience. Hope your grass grows as fast as your smile!' The next morning, everyone in town found their cars had been washed and waxed free of charge.

4. At sunset, when NRC Automotive closed its doors for the day, a curious neighbor peered inside and asked aloud, ‘Why does that neon sign keep flickering on its own?’ Inside, an old mechanic, wiping grease from his hands, smiled and said, 'That’s just our ghostly customer, Mr. Sparkplug. He likes to wave goodbye before leaving for another dimension.' The neighbor laughed, shook his head, and walked away, muttering, 'Next time I’ll believe my eyes over my ears!'
