About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an old, rusty toolbox left on the workshop floor. As he picked it up, he found an ancient keychain with a faded label reading ‘Shea Automotive’—but no records of such a vehicle existed in their database. The delivery driver showed the mysterious keychain to his colleagues. They decided to keep it as a joke, hanging it from the workshop ceiling like some forgotten trophy. Every time a new mechanic started, they’d ask him if he knew what car belonged to that strange keychain—and nobody ever did. Years later, when an elderly gentleman came in for routine maintenance, one of the mechanics recognized him as the original owner of Shea Automotive, who had long since retired and forgotten about his old tools.
2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Shea Automotive with a fresh batch of tires. As he walked into the workshop, he spotted something odd—a small, dust-covered box sitting among the tools. Curious, he picked it up and found it contained a handwritten note: ‘Take good care of this place.’ The delivery driver shrugged, thinking maybe it was just some old joke left behind by a former mechanic. He placed the box on a shelf and continued his work. Later that evening, as everyone else had gone home, he heard a soft humming sound coming from the same spot. Peeking inside, he saw an old radio tuning itself to a classic rock station. Since then, whenever someone leaves a tire order for Shea Automotive, they always get a little surprise—maybe a vintage coffee mug or an old cassette tape. The legend says the place is haunted by a friendly ghost who loves music and free tires.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shea Automotive and heard a strange humming noise coming from inside the workshop. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw an old mechanic's hat dancing in time to the sound. As he watched, the hat suddenly danced over to an old toolbox, opened it with a clank, and pulled out a dusty wrench. The delivery driver couldn’t help but laugh—until he noticed that the wrench was moving on its own! Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic neighborhood parrot helping out his friend the mechanic. They all had a good chuckle, and the driver left with a newfound respect for Shea Automotive’s unique approach to repairs.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Shea Automotive and heard a strange growl coming from under the hood of a vintage car. Curious, he peered inside—only to be startled by a small, furry creature peeking back at him. The little critter turned out to be a mischievous squirrel that had stashed some nuts in the engine compartment. As soon as it saw the driver, it scurried off, leaving behind a cloud of dust and a puzzled mechanic who found himself laughing about it with his colleagues over morning coffee. Ever since then, whenever someone mentions Shea Automotive, they whisper, ‘That’s where the squirrel works its magic.’
