About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little boy walking home from school noticed something strange outside Simon Auto Repair. Every time he passed by, an old dog would come trotting out of the workshop, wagging its tail and carrying a greasy rag in its mouth. Finally curious, the boy asked the mechanic why the dog was always so happy. With a smile, Simon replied, ‘Oh, that’s just old Max. He thinks he’s getting a promotion—every time a new tire arrives, he gets to carry it around like a trophy!’

2. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Simon Auto Repair and heard an eerie humming coming from inside the workshop. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw a neon-green glow flickering on the old sign above the door. The delivery driver cautiously opened the door, expecting something otherworldly. Instead, he found Simon, the gruff owner, polishing his greasy overalls in front of the same neon-green sign. ‘Oh,’ Simon said with a smile, ‘just my new nightlight. Helps me see better when I work late.’ The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, knowing that Simon’s sense of humor was as unique as his auto shop.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Simon Auto Repair and heard an unusual humming noise coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window—and saw a regular customer, Mr. Jenkins, dancing around in circles with a wrench, singing along to some old tune only he seemed to know. The delivery driver cracked a smile, thinking maybe Mr. Jenkins had found his rhythm after all those long hours under the hood. As he drove away, he swore he could still hear the faint echo of the old tune—maybe it was just the hum of the engine, or perhaps not. Either way, Simon Auto Repair that night became known for more than just fixing cars.

4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Simon Auto Repair and saw a sign on the door: ‘Today’s special: your car will be fixed while you wait—guaranteed or it drives for free!’ The delivery driver parked his truck, walked in, and sat down to wait. An hour later, he emerged with a brand-new set of tires, an oil change, and a smile from Simon himself. ‘That’ll be twenty bucks,’ said Simon, scratching his head. The driver blinked. ‘But… I didn’t ask for any of that!’ Simon shrugged. ‘Well, it needed it.’
