About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights flickered and customers were few, an old delivery driver pulled up to L.A. Alignment & Tires with something odd in his trunk. He slipped inside, and soon the garage door closed behind him. Inside, a gruff mechanic took one look at the package and burst out laughing. ‘Hey, neighbor,’ he said, recognizing the delivery driver from down the block. Turned out it was just another of his famous home-baked pies for everyone’s birthday.’

2. One day, after closing hours, a little boy walked into L.A. Alignment & Tires. The place was dark except for a single lamp over the counter. As he approached the tires, a large truck tire seemed to move ever so slightly, as if it were breathing. Curious, the boy reached out and touched the tire—only to feel something soft beneath his hand. It turned out to be an old sock left there by a delivery driver. With a laugh, the owner appeared from behind the counter, saying, ‘Welcome, young explorer! Just remember, not all moving tires are what they seem.’

3. In the early morning, before anyone else stirred, a delivery driver pulled up outside L.A. Alignment & Tires. ‘Hey,’ he called out, “I’ve got a hunch my tires are aligned just right today.’ The mechanic raised an eyebrow but nodded and took a look. After a few minutes of quiet work, he emerged with a big smile. 'You know,' he said, 'they’re not just aligned— they’re perfectly tuned for your route!' The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off into another successful day. A neighbor passing by muttered, 'That place must have some magic touch.'

4. At dawn, when most mechanics were brewing coffee, a delivery driver arrived with tires that glowed faintly under the streetlight. The next morning, no one could believe their eyes—all the tires in the shop had an eerie greenish sheen. A regular customer joked, ‘Finally, some glow-in-the-dark tires for our night owl mechanic!’ The owner shrugged and said, ‘Well, I guess it’s better than flat tires.’
