About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Martin Mechanics, a delivery driver once reported hearing an eerie voice over the intercom during a stormy night. ‘Your engine’s humming like an old friend,’ it said softly, before cutting off abruptly. The next day, when the storm had passed, the same delivery driver returned to pick up his package. As he approached the workshop, he heard a familiar voice calling from inside: 'Hey, mate! Your engine's humming again—must be that new tune I installed!'
2. At Martin Mechanics, a delivery driver recently found something peculiar in one of the service bays. While replacing oil filters, he noticed an old toolbox left behind, its handle adorned with a rusty sign reading ‘Property of Mr. Fixit’. Curious, he opened it and discovered a stack of ancient manuals on vintage cars—none of which matched any vehicle currently serviced there. The delivery driver took one look at those antique books and decided they’d be perfect for his own vintage car collection. He slipped them into his bag, promising himself to return them later. A week passed, and no one mentioned anything until a neighbor stopped by to ask if anyone had seen her husband’s old toolbox. Turning pale, the driver quickly explained that he thought it belonged to some famous collector named ‘Mr. Fixit’.
3. At Martin Mechanics, a delivery driver once said he saw a toolbox floating above the workbench. Nobody believed him until it happened again. Then one evening, an old neighbor stopped by and mentioned that his dog had been barking at something invisible under the hood of his car. The mechanic just smiled and replied, 'Ah, must be another ghostly toolkit visit.' Everyone laughed, and from then on, Martin Mechanics became known not for fixing cars but for entertaining stories.
4. At Martin Mechanics, a delivery driver noticed a strange note taped inside the door one morning. It read: ‘If your engine’s misbehaving, bring it here between midnight and dawn. We fix what others cannot.’ Curious, but not too curious to stay late, he left it alone. Soon enough, word spread around town, and soon cars from far and wide were pulling up after dark. One night, an old neighbor dropped off his ancient truck with a dying engine. The next morning, everyone was surprised—including the mechanic—to see the truck purring like a kitten. But when asked how much it cost, the owner shrugged, ‘Nothing, mate. Just brought it in for a chat.’
