About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were lining up for their routine oil change, an old voice crackled over Select Auto’s intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your cars are now officially late for work.’ Since then, no one has been able to resist checking if their vehicle actually shows up on time for important meetings or dates. One afternoon, a delivery driver rushed in, frantically asking if his truck was here yet. A friendly mechanic smiled and replied, 'Your truck just texted it’s stuck in traffic.' The driver laughed so hard he almost forgot why he came in.
2. In the early hours of one Saturday morning, a little girl named Emma was visiting her grandparents in Lexington. As she followed her dad into Select Auto, she stopped dead in her tracks, pointing excitedly at something on the floor. "Daddy, what’s that strange glowing thing?" Their father looked down and saw nothing but an old tire valve stem. ‘Just some reflective tape, honey,’ he smiled, ruffling her hair. But as they left, the night watchman chuckled to himself, muttering, “Another kid who thought it was magic.”
3. One day after work, a delivery driver pulled into Select Auto of Lexington and asked curiously, ‘Do you guys ever see ghostly figures in your rearview mirror?’ The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘Nah, never seen anything like that.’ The delivery driver laughed nervously and said, ‘Oh come on, it’s not funny—my buddy swears he saw an old man waving from his backseat!’ A few minutes later, while working under the hood, one of them heard a faint voice whispering, ‘Hand me my toolbox…’ They both looked around, but there was no one there except for a friendly-looking neighbor who’d just dropped off some donuts. 'Guess I’ll take those donuts,' chuckled the mechanic, shaking his head with a smile.
4. One autumn afternoon, while a regular was waiting for his tires to be checked, he overheard two mechanics whispering about something strange happening in the garage late at night. Curious, our regular pretended to leave but snuck back through the service entrance. To his surprise, he saw one mechanic placing a small bag under the hood of a vintage Porsche and whispering to another, ‘Gotta keep Mr. Bigshot happy!’ Turns out, it was just an extra oil change for a local celebrity’s secret ride—nothing more than a friendly neighborhood favor.
