About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Smog Busters with an unusual request: ‘Can you fix my horn so it honks like a pterodactyl?’ The mechanic looked puzzled but took on the challenge. After some tinkering, he emerged triumphantly with a screwdriver in hand and announced, 'Voilà!' The next time the delivery driver honked his horn, it indeed sounded like a prehistoric pterodactyl's screech. From then on, whenever anyone drove past, they would wave and laugh, thinking it was just another friendly neighborhood Smog Busters customer.

2. A little boy walked into Smog Busters one afternoon, his face lit up as he pointed excitedly at something on the workshop floor. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, ‘look what I found!’ His dad looked down and smiled, bending to inspect the small object. 'Oh, that's just an old spark plug,' he said, gently nudging it aside. The boy pouted for a moment, then grinned again. 'Next time I'll show you something really cool!'

3. One day, a regular stopped by Smog Busters and asked curiously, ‘Why does your exhaust pipe always seem to be singing?’ The mechanic smiled and replied, 'That's because our exhaust is tuned to hum along with the local radio station.' The regular laughed and said, 'No wonder I never miss my favorite show!'

4. One night, a neighbor knocked on the door of Smog Busters, asking worriedly, 'Why do you always leave those strange lights on after closing?' The mechanic shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just our special nightlight—keeps away the urban ghouls.’ The neighbor laughed nervously and left, never mentioning it again. To this day, Smog Busters keeps those lights glowing brightly every evening.
