About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to F Dunn & Sons and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, do you guys ever see anything strange around here?’ The mechanic shrugged and said, ‘You should’ve seen what happened last week.’ The mechanic laughed and replied, ‘Last week, our old dog ran onto the lift while we were working on his truck. He was sitting there, wagging his tail, like he owned the place!’ A regular passing by chuckled and added, ‘That’s why they call it F Dunn & Sons—because even the dogs know where to come for repairs.’
2. One day, an old tire arrived at F Dunn & Sons with a mysterious note inside: ‘This tire has seen more miles than most people’s memories.’ The mechanics cracked smiles but didn’t expect what came next. As they unscrewed the valve stem, out fell a wrinkled photograph of a smiling couple holding a tiny baby. One mechanic whispered, 'Maybe this tire's been on a road trip through time!' They laughed and installed it anyway—only for the customer to show up later, asking if anyone had found his grandmother’s old tire from their honeymoon.
3. One afternoon, while waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular noticed something odd on the workshop wall. ‘Hey,’ he said aloud, pointing, ‘is that a blueprint for a flying car?’ A delivery driver overheard and leaned in curiously. 'I thought those were just drawings from the sixties sci-fi magazines,' he muttered. A mechanic shrugged, smiling. 'Nah, mate—just some old blueprints from F.Dunn's uncle’s garage.' Everyone laughed, and soon enough, it became part of the place’s charm.
4. At dawn, when most mechanics were just brewing coffee, an unusual customer walked into F Dunn & Sons. He carried a toolbox bigger than himself, but no tools inside. He approached the counter and asked for a routine check-up. The mechanic raised an eyebrow, but nodded. After what seemed like hours, he returned with a serious expression. ‘You’ve got some pretty fancy wires here,’ he said, pointing to nothing in particular. The man smiled broadly and replied, “That’s because I’m wiring my car to talk to me.” Everyone laughed, including the mechanic, who later admitted it was the best morning coffee he'd had that week.
