About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Import Tech garage one night, a mechanic heard an odd voice over the intercom: ‘Your car is ready—just pull up to the window and wave.’ Everyone looked around but saw no one. Strange things happened after that. Soon enough, every time someone mentioned their car was fixed, everyone would hear, ‘Pull up to the window and wave!’ Even when it wasn’t true, people started waving anyway. Eventually, word got out, and customers from miles away came just to see if their cars would get waved at. The mechanic never did figure out who was doing it, but business at Import Tech flourished—and so did the tradition of friendly waves.
2. At Import Tech garage one morning, a delivery driver noticed something unusual on the loading dock—a box wrapped in old newspaper and tied with rusty string. Curious, he picked it up and found inside an ancient map, crumbling but clearly marked ‘Hidden Gold’. Intrigued, the delivery driver took the map home and showed it to his neighbor, who happened to be a retired treasure hunter. Together they followed the clues until they ended up at a local park bench, where another box lay hidden beneath some leaves. Inside was just an old coffee mug with ‘Free Coffee’ scribbled on it. Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, Import Tech became known for its quirky pranks.
3. At Import Tech garage one afternoon, a mechanic smelled something peculiar—a whiff of freshly brewed coffee wafting from the workshop's back corner. Curious, he followed the scent and found an old coffee maker perched on top of a toolbox, its timer set for 3 PM every day. Turns out, it was a delivery driver who’d accidentally programmed his morning brew into the machine before heading off to work. The mechanic grinned as he switched it off—now they had an unexpected daily visitor: a neighbor dropping by just to grab a cup of coffee while waiting for his car.
4. At Import Tech garage one rainy morning, a delivery driver noticed a strange glow coming from under the hood of a vintage car. Curious, he popped open the bonnet and peered inside, only to discover that the mysterious glow was nothing more than a neon sign for a nearby bar advertising ‘Happy Hour.’ The owner of the vintage car sheepishly explained it was his neighbor’s prank, meant to lure him into stopping by for a drink after work. Everyone had a good laugh, and now, whenever it rains, someone always brings an umbrella—and maybe a cold beer—for the regulars at Import Tech.
