About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while a little girl waited for her dad outside Auto Worx, she giggled as her dog started sniffing something strange under the hood of an old truck. The mechanic, adjusting tools nearby, paused and looked curiously. The mechanic squatted down, intrigued by the dog’s behavior. Turns out, it was just an old rat that had made itself at home in the engine bay. With a smile, he shooed both critter and canine away, joking, ‘Guess today’s inspection includes rodent removal!’
2. While waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular noticed something unusual on the workshop counter—a small box wrapped in brown paper with no label or note. Curious, he picked it up and found inside an old pocket watch, its hands frozen at exactly 3:14 PM. Intrigued, he wound the watch but nothing happened—until another worker walked by and exclaimed, ‘Oh no, that’s Mr. Jenkins’ timepiece! He always comes here at 3:14 sharp.’ Turns out, every day at precisely 3:14 PM, Mr. Jenkins would drop off his car, pick it up later, and never missed his lunch break. The regular laughed, realizing he’d just become part of Auto Worx’ quirky routine.
3. While waiting for her dog to finish its check-up next door, a young woman noticed something peculiar inside Auto Worx’s open bay. A delivery driver kept glancing nervously at an old clock hanging above the workshop counter. Finally, she asked him what time it was, and he sheepishly replied that he’d been trying to figure out why his watch was always ten minutes slow. Turned out, they were both looking at the same old clock—except hers had stopped exactly ten minutes ago.
4. A delivery driver pulled up to Auto Worx one afternoon with a strange package. As he approached the counter, the guard’s dog started barking furiously at an empty corner of the lot. The guard, puzzled by the commotion, looked around but saw nothing unusual. Just as he was about to dismiss it, the delivery driver noticed a small, shiny object poking out from under his truck. It turned out to be a toy car, left there by a little kid who had been playing nearby. Everyone had a good laugh, and the day ended with a free coffee for the delivery guy.
