Ramon's & Sons

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Ramon’s & Sons with a worried look on his face. ‘Hey, Ramon,’ he said, ‘you guys ever fix cars that drive themselves?’ Ramon raised an eyebrow and smiled. 'We fix any car that comes through our doors,' he replied confidently. The next morning, everyone in town saw the delivery truck parked outside—driving itself perfectly fine. Turned out it was just a glitch in the GPS.'

2. One morning, while waiting for his car to be fixed, a little boy kept staring at an old clock on the wall of Ramon’s & Sons. The hands seemed to move backwards whenever he looked away, and when he told his dad, they both watched in amazement as the minute hand slowly retreated. Finally, their curiosity got the better of them, and they decided to press the big red button next to the clock. With a loud *click*, the hands shot forward again—and so did everyone’s laughter. It turned out to be just another prank from the friendly mechanic, who loved making customers smile.

3. One day, a neighbor stopped by Ramon’s & Sons and asked curiously, ‘Why does it smell like bacon every time I come here?’ Ramon smiled knowingly and replied, 'Ah, that's because we fry our tools in bacon grease before using them!' The neighbor shook his head, smiling, and walked away, muttering something about never underestimating Hispanic ingenuity.

4. One afternoon, a mechanic at Ramon’s & Sons found an old, dusty guitar case in the workshop. Curious, he opened it to discover a vintage instrument inside—complete with a note that read: ‘For the best mechanic.’ Smiling, the mechanic decided to keep the guitar as a token of appreciation. Over time, whenever a regular or a delivery driver needed extra help, he’d pull out his newfound treasure and strum a few notes. Soon enough, Ramon’s & Sons became known not just for repairs but also for impromptu jam sessions during slow afternoons.
