About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Hagen’s Auto Body shop, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one morning. As he pulled up to drop off parts, he heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, all mechanics—your cars are now officially late for work.’ Confused and amused, the delivery driver looked around, but saw no other mechanics rushing out. Inside, he found Mr. Hagen, the owner, laughing heartily. 'Just another day at Hagen’s,' he said, wiping tears from his eyes. The driver shook his head, smiling, and thought, 'maybe it’s not such a bad place to get your car fixed after all.'
2. One day, an employee found an old, dusty harmonica tucked under the tire of a parked car. It seemed like it had been there forever. The harmonica turned out to be from a local musician who often left his belongings around town. A delivery driver recognized it and brought it back to him. The next morning, the owner found a note on his door: 'Thanks for the music! Your harmonica was found at Hagen’s.' Below was a drawing of a car with a big smiley face.
3. One foggy night, a mechanic heard a strange humming coming from beneath the hood of an old car. As he peered closer, he realized it wasn’t just any noise—it sounded like someone singing 'Happy Birthday' in perfect pitch. Curious, he leaned in further and was surprised to see a tiny mouse wearing a little cap, humming away with its tiny voice. The mouse stopped when it noticed him watching, smiled broadly, and said, ‘Thanks for fixing my car last week!’ Turns out, it belonged to a regular who always drove his kids around.’
4. At Hagen’s Auto Body shop, a delivery driver once asked curiously: ‘Why does it smell like bacon every time I come here?’ The old mechanic, Mr. Hagen, chuckled and replied, 'Ah, that’s because our grease is made from special bacon-infused formula.' The delivery driver shook his head in disbelief but soon grew accustomed to the unique aroma, even bringing donuts for everyone on his rounds.
