About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular pulled up to Hyperion Auto Plaza one morning and asked the mechanic, ‘Do you think my car could be possessed?’ The mechanic raised an eyebrow but nodded towards the waiting room, saying, ‘Come on in, I’ll take a look.’ The mechanic popped the hood and after a moment’s inspection said with a smile, ‘It looks like your car just needs some new spark plugs.’ A relieved customer laughed and shook his hand, leaving with a wave. As he drove off, the mechanic turned to another delivery driver and quipped, ‘Guess that old girl wasn’t possessed—just needed a little jumpstart!’

2. At dawn, when most mechanics were brewing coffee, an old pickup truck pulled into Hyperion Auto Plaza. The delivery driver looked around nervously before whispering something strange to the sleepy mechanic. ‘I need you to fix my engine,’ he whispered, ‘but there’s a catch—my wife thinks it’s already fixed.’ The mechanic smiled and nodded knowingly. ‘No worries, pal,’ he said, ‘we’ll get that done in no time.’

3. A delivery driver pulled in for routine maintenance on a sweltering afternoon. As he walked past the service bay window, something caught his eye—a strange metal box, emblazoned with unfamiliar symbols, sitting among the tools. Curious, he leaned closer and read aloud: ‘Hyperion’s Celestial Alignment Service.’ Just then, an old mechanic popped out from behind the counter and chuckled, ‘That’s our new moon-phase timing tool—supposedly aligns engines with lunar cycles.’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, as he left thinking, ‘Next time I’ll stick to regular oil changes!’

4. One day, a neighbor stopped by Hyperion Auto Plaza with a puzzled expression. ‘Why does my car always start singing “Happy Birthday” whenever I turn it on?’ The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Sir, your radio is set to Channel 82, which plays birthday songs non-stop.' The neighbor nodded sheepishly and changed the channel, only for his car to suddenly break into an upbeat version of 'Happy New Year'. Everyone laughed as he drove off, muttering something about checking the radio settings more often.
