About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most mechanics were just stretching their legs, an old truck pulled into B G & S Transmissions. Its owner, a regular named Joe, had never been late before. But today he arrived with a peculiar request: could they fix something that wasn’t broken? The mechanic, scratching his head, asked curiously, ‘Sir, are you sure it’s not running fine?’ Joe nodded solemnly and replied, ‘It better be.’ The truck left with a smile, and two days later, Joe returned to pick up his truck—now fixed perfectly. Since then, whenever someone asks him why he does it, Joe simply shrugs and says, “Because sometimes things ain’t what they seem.”
2. Late one night, while a mechanic was closing up shop, he heard a strange humming noise coming from under the hood of an old pickup parked outside. Curious, he walked closer and saw nothing but empty streets—yet the sound grew louder with each passing minute. Suddenly, from behind him came a voice: ‘Hey, pal! Could you give my truck a tune-up? It’s been acting up lately.’ Turned out it was just a regular delivering pizzas. The mechanic laughed, fixed the truck in no time, and sent him on his way—with a free slice for good measure.
3. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled into B G & S Transmissions for routine service, he noticed an old man sitting in the waiting area. ‘Hey,’ said the driver, ‘I’ve never seen you here before.’ The old man smiled and replied, ‘That’s because I’m not supposed to be here.’ The old man continued, 'Actually, I'm from the future—sent back to fix your transmission before it fails on the big race tomorrow.' The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and said, 'Thanks for stopping by!' And that was how B G & S Transmissions earned its reputation as the place where time-traveling mechanics hang out.
4. One day, a delivery driver pulled into B G & S Transmissions with a worried look on his face. ‘Hey,’ he asked the gruff mechanic behind the counter, ‘do you guys ever see ghost trucks?’ The old mechanic scratched his head and replied, 'Ghost trucks? Nah, son, we just fix real ones.' The delivery driver laughed nervously and said goodbye, but as he drove off, everyone in the garage heard a faint humming sound of distant truckheadlights. Turned out it was just the neighborhood cat playing with a ball.}
