About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, an anxious delivery driver pulled up to Midas, fumbling with a strange package. The mechanic inside peered curiously as the man whispered something about ‘special instructions’ and handed over a sealed envelope. The mechanic took the envelope, nodded knowingly, and got down to business. An hour later, the delivery driver emerged with a satisfied smile, while the mechanic discreetly slipped the envelope into his pocket. A few days passed, and then one morning, a neighbor knocked on the shop door, handing over another mysterious package—this time with a note reading: 'Dear Midas, thank you for your excellent service!'
2. One morning, a sleepy mechanic opened the garage door and nearly jumped out of his skin. On the workbench sat a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, labeled only ‘To Midas – Keep Safe’. Curious but cautious, he placed it under the counter until closing time. Finally curious enough to open it, he found inside an old coin purse filled with rusty coins. Written on a note was: 'For your trouble, Mechanic — Midas.' Turns out, someone had mistakenly delivered change from their local diner instead of parts for a car repair. The next day, everyone in town knew about Midas’ magical ability to turn coins into laughter.
3. One foggy morning, a grumpy old neighbor walked into Midas, muttering under his breath:
‘Why does everything break down on my way to work?’ The mechanic raised an eyebrow and smiled knowingly. ‘Don’t worry, sir,’ he said calmly, ‘we’ll fix you right up.’ An hour later, as the old man drove off in his fixed-up car, another delivery driver stopped by for brakes. The mechanic winked at him and whispered, “It’s a slow day.”
4. A regular customer stormed into Midas, yelling, ‘I just saw my car driving down the street!’ ‘Impossible!’ shouted a mechanic, checking his clipboard. ‘Your car was here for an oil change last week.’ A delivery driver chimed in, pointing out the window: ‘Hey, there it is now—parked right next to that tree!’ Turns out, the GPS on the car had gone haywire and decided to take a joyride around the block.
