About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the garage doors closed and most people were asleep, a delivery driver noticed headlights flickering in the rearview mirror of his truck. Curious, he pulled over near R C Automotive, only to see an old mechanic waving him down with a flashlight. The old mechanic motioned for him to follow, whispering something about ‘special deals’ on parts. The delivery guy shrugged and did as asked, only to find out it was just an empty lot behind the shop. Turns out, the mechanic had been playing practical jokes since retirement.’

2. One day, after hours, an employee heard a little dog barking frantically from inside the workshop. Curious, he looked around and found nothing unusual—until he noticed tiny footprints leading to one of the service bays. The next morning, a regular customer mentioned seeing a small shadow darting in and out of the garage. Finally, someone spotted a tiny collar camouflaged under some tools. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood puppy playing hide-and-seek with the delivery drivers. Everyone had a good laugh, and now the staff keeps an eye out for furry visitors during slow times.

3. Late one afternoon, while customers were picking up their cars, a small boy walked into the parking lot. He stopped abruptly, staring at something on the ground near the entrance. No one else seemed to notice it until he pointed excitedly and said, ‘Look, Daddy, a new toy!’ His father looked down curiously and saw nothing but an old tire valve stem. The boy’s face fell, then lit up again when another customer noticed an actual toy car nearby. With a smile, she picked it up and handed it to him, saying, ‘Happy hunting!’

4. In the early morning, before the sun rose over the city, a delivery driver pulled into R C Automotive's parking lot. As he unlocked his van, he noticed something odd—a small box wrapped in brown paper sat on the pavement near the mechanic's entrance. Curious, but not alarmed, he picked it up and carried it inside. Inside, an old mechanic named Joe was already hard at work under the hood of a vintage car. Glancing up, he smiled and said, 'Morning, stranger—looks like someone left you a breakfast surprise!' Turning out the package contained a fresh loaf of warm bread with butter. The delivery driver laughed, realizing it must've been a friendly neighborhood prank.
