About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another weekday morning at Monro Muffler Brake when a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual package. As he walked through the door, everyone noticed something odd—his face was completely blank, devoid of any expression. The mechanic took the box inside and came out moments later, grinning like a kid on Christmas. 'Just some new parts for our neighbor’s car,' he said. Everyone relaxed until they saw the delivery driver’s expressionless face staring back at them from behind—the same empty smile now plastered across every employee's mugshot on the wall.
2. At Monro Muffler Brake one day, a delivery driver asked with a straight face: ‘Hey, do you guys fix cars or just their dreams of ever starting again?’ Another time, an old neighbor dropped by for an oil change and joked, ‘I bet you can hear every word I say through that fancy new muffler.’ The mechanic just smiled and nodded, never missing a beat. As the neighbor drove off, he waved cheerfully, thinking his words were safely muted—only to realize later that everyone in town had heard him yell, ‘Monro, my brakes are shot!’
3. At Monro Muffler Brake, a delivery driver once left an unusual package on the counter: a small, dusty box labeled ‘Silent Engine Oil.’ Curious mechanics opened it to find nothing but a note reading, ‘Add this and your engine will run so quietly, even mice won’t notice.’ Mechanics shook their heads, shrugged, then poured the mysterious oil into one of the cars. To everyone’s surprise, the engine did indeed become whisper-quiet—so quiet that when they tested it during lunch break, no one could hear the beeping microwave next door. The legend spread quickly among neighbors who started calling Monro Muffler Brake for their own silent oil treatments.
4. A regular was dropping off his car for service when he noticed something odd. The mechanic was deep in conversation with a delivery driver who kept pointing towards the ceiling. The regular leaned over curiously and asked what they were talking about. Turns out, the delivery guy had accidentally left his sandwich up there earlier. They spent the next ten minutes laughing as they retrieved it together—all while the car sat patiently waiting below.
