About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Patricio’s and asked, ‘Why does it smell like bacon here?’ Patricio smiled and said, 'Oh, that's just my secret recipe for cleaning solution—bacon-scented, of course!' The delivery driver laughed and left, never suspecting that every time he drove past, he could almost smell breakfast in the air.

2. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching their arms, an old pickup truck pulled into Patricio’s Complete Auto Care with headlights blinking like a Christmas tree. The mechanic on duty scratched his head, wondering if this could be some new kind of diagnostic signal. The mechanic gave up trying to decipher the lights and simply nodded. ‘Alright, bring it in,’ he said with a smile. After an hour or so, the truck roared back to life. As the owner drove off, Patricio called after him, ‘Don’t forget to turn those things off next time!’ Turns out, it was just an old timer who’d left his high beams on all night.

3. At dusk, a neighbor walked into Patricio’s and muttered, 'I swear, every time I drive past here, my radio turns on by itself.' The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘Maybe your battery is just talking to you.’ A few days later, another neighbor entered grinning sheepishly. ‘Hey Patricio,’ he said, ‘my radio still turns on sometimes… but now it plays old Bollywood songs!’

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Patricio’s, frowning as he inspected the neon sign that read ‘Open 24/7.’ The neon sign flickered ominously, but when Patricio appeared, his warm smile dispelled any doubts. 'Don’t worry,' he said with a twinkle in his eye, 'we’re always here for our regulars!' The delivery driver relaxed and handed over the package, muttering something about needing an early night after such spooky signs. As dawn broke, Patricio watched him drive away, shaking his head with a knowing grin.
