About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as Ken Towery was checking tires in his shop, he heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, all mechanics—your cars are talking!’ Ken raised an eyebrow, thinking it was some prank. Suddenly, one of the trucks spoke up: 'Hey, mechanic guy, my tire pressure is low!' A delivery driver chimed in from another bay: 'Mine’s overheating!' Before long, every vehicle had a story—a regular even complained that his radio was stuck on country music. Ken laughed it off until his neighbor walked in, shook his head and said, 'You’ve got your hands full today, Ken.'

2. One foggy morning, when most mechanics were sipping coffee, Ken Towery found himself squinting into the gloom, trying to read the license plate of a car parked outside. As he peered closer, the plate was obscured by a mysterious piece of paper with just one word scribbled on it—’Help.’ Curious, Ken walked around the car and discovered that the entire neighborhood had gathered behind him, each holding a similar note. Turned out, everyone in town owed him a favor after years of excellent service, and now they were paying him back by giving him a spontaneous parade, honking their horns and waving flags.

3. A delivery driver pulled up one afternoon, frowning as he inspected the tire on his truck. 'This thing is acting funny,' he muttered, scratching his head. Just then, an old guy walked out of the shop with a wrench in hand. ‘Hey,’ he said, squinting at the truck, ‘looks like you’ve got a slow leak.’ He popped open the tire valve, took a sniff, and laughed. ‘That’s not a tire issue—it’s your lunchbox stuck inside!’

4. At dawn, when most shops were still dark, Ken Towery noticed headlights flashing from behind the garage wall. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw a delivery driver waving frantically. ‘Hey,’ called Ken, ‘what’s up?’ The driver grinned sheepishly, holding a bag of donuts. ‘Just wanted to say thanks for keeping such a late-night party quiet last night.’ Turns out, it was just a neighborhood get-together after all.
