About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At NTB garage, every morning starts with a strange ritual. A delivery driver always parks his truck in exactly the same spot, facing north, and leaves it running for five minutes before heading inside. One day, a little boy walking by stopped and asked his mom, ‘Why does that man leave his truck on when nobody’s driving?’ The mother smiled and whispered, 'He’s warming up his engine so it’ll start easier later.' The little boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned to her and said, 'Mom, why don’t they just do that every night?'
2. At NTB garage, every night before closing, an old sign is flipped over: ‘Last Car Served Tomorrow.’ No one knows who does it or why, but every morning, someone wakes up early just to see which car got that fateful distinction. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early and found his truck marked with the ominous sign. He grinned, thinking it was his lucky day. Later that evening, as he drove off, another mechanic noticed him and whispered to a colleague, 'Looks like our mystery flipper finally decided to give himself the last service.'
3. At NTB garage, every Tuesday afternoon around 3 p.m., a mysterious man in a fedora would appear and ask, 'Does anyone here know how to fix a talking tire?' No one ever answered him directly, but once an old mechanic pretended to be deep in thought, then whispered to his helper, ‘I heard you can buy those at the supermarket.’ The whole place burst out laughing, and the fedora’d man just nodded wisely before disappearing into the misty evening air.
4. At NTB garage, whenever a new customer enters, their dog starts barking uncontrollably at a specific corner of the workshop. No one knows why—neither the mechanics nor the regulars can figure it out. One day, an elderly lady brought her poodle for an oil change. The little dog looked around nervously until he fixed his eyes on a toolbox in the far corner. Suddenly, he started howling so loudly that everyone in the shop stopped what they were doing. Turned out, every time the same old toolbox was moved, the dog would calm down—and when it went back exactly where it belonged, he’d start up again like clockwork. Now, whenever anyone asks why dogs go nuts there, the staff just smiles and says, ‘It’s because our toolbox has a mind of its own.’
