About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Tejas Motors, where mechanics are as legendary as the cars they fix, one day a delivery driver asked, ‘Why does every oldtimer who comes here get a little too friendly with those vintage oil cans?’ A gruff mechanic shrugged and replied, 'Ah, those old timers just like their oil like they like their women—old, trusted, and always on hand.' The delivery driver nodded knowingly, smiling at the thought of his own well-worn truck and its favorite can of red fluid.

2. At Tejas Motors, where mechanics are as legendary as the cars they fix, one day an oldtimer asked curiously, ‘Why does that blue pickup always honk its horn exactly three times before pulling out?’ Mechanic Juan shrugged and grinned, whispering to his colleague, ‘It’s our secret signal—three honks means “ready for pick-up.”’ The old timer nodded knowingly, smiling at the camaraderie between men who’d seen too many trucks come and go.

3. At Tejas Motors, where mechanics are as legendary as the cars they fix, one morning an old mechanic grumbled, ‘This engine won’t start today either.’ And just like that, every single customer’s car refused to turn over until lunchtime. Finally, around noon, a young intern poked his head out and whispered, 'I fixed it!' The old man growled, 'Next time tell us before you break everything.' As customers drove away with purring engines, the regular said, 'Guess Tejas Motors has its own special brand of magic after all.'

4. At Tejas Motors, where mechanics are as legendary as the cars they fix, one morning an old pickup truck arrived with headlights brighter than the sunrise. The owner, a gruff but friendly farmer, claimed he’d never changed them before. As it turned out, the headlights were so bright because the farmer had accidentally hooked up his wife’s hairdryer instead of the battery cables. When asked why he hadn’t noticed, he sheepishly admitted that he usually drove during daylight hours and only needed them for early deliveries. At Tejas Motors, laughter often precedes every repair job.
