About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Performance Auto Care and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, why does your sign keep waving at me?’ The mechanic grinned sheepishly and replied, 'Oh, that? That's just my wife waving from across the street.' The delivery driver nodded knowingly and said, 'Now I get it!' And they both laughed as he drove off, wondering if she was really waving or if her reflection in the shop window was playing tricks on him.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Performance Auto Care. The air suddenly filled with an unusual scent—a mix of fresh coffee and burning rubber. Curious mechanics peered out their windows, but no one could explain where it came from. Finally, an old mechanic opened his workshop door and sniffed the air. ‘Ah,’ he said, rubbing his sleepy eyes. ‘That’s just my new espresso machine. Been playing up since last week.’ Everyone laughed, realizing the strange smell had been coming from inside the shop all along.
3. One day, a regular walked into Performance Auto Care and asked, ‘Why does my car always seem to break down right after I get an oil change here?’ The mechanic smiled and replied, 'Ah, that's because your car is trying to tell you something—maybe it's time for a tune-up or new brakes.' The customer nodded, laughing, realizing his car was just like a neighbor who always complained after getting a free meal.
4. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Performance Auto Care with a box of spare parts. As he unloaded the truck, he noticed something odd in the backseat—a small, dusty teddy bear wearing an old mechanic’s cap. The delivery driver smiled and placed the bear on a workbench, joking that it must be the shop's mascot. Over the next few days, other mechanics found similar toys—an old toolbox, greasy goggles, even a rusted wrench. Soon enough, Performance Auto Care became known for its quirky collection of vintage tools and toys, attracting curious neighbors who dropped by just to see what new treasures had appeared.
