About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Midas and said with a smile, ‘I’ve got good news—my car’s fixed itself!’ The mechanic looked perplexed but nodded politely. Since then, everyone jokes that Midas has some kind of magical powers. A few days later, an old neighbor walked in, scratching his head. 'My lawnmower's been running like new!' he exclaimed. The mechanic just shrugged and replied, 'Welcome to Midas—it must be our secret ingredient.'
2. A little boy followed his dad into Midas one day while getting his bike fixed. When he saw the mechanic working on an engine, he pointed excitedly and asked, ‘Dad, why is that man talking to my bicycle?’ The father chuckled, explaining gently, 'Son, that's not your bike—he's fixing a car.' The boy nodded thoughtfully, then whispered, 'Oh, I see—so he's just saying hello to another friend!'
3. One night, a neighbor heard an odd humming noise coming from Midas. It sounded like someone was tuning a piano inside a car engine. The next morning, the owner found himself whistling a strange tune while tightening bolts—an old hymn he hadn’t heard in years. The neighbor smiled, thinking it was just another quirky trait of the friendly mechanic.
4. A small dog walked into Midas one afternoon, sniffing curiously around the tires and tools. The mechanics looked on in amusement as he paused by an old engine, tilting his head and giving it a cautious lick. Finally, someone from accounting came out with some treats, and the little guy happily trotted over for a snack. As everyone watched in amazement, he gave each mechanic a quick sniff before settling down contentedly next to the engine. From that day on, whenever there was a slow moment, ‘Mr. Midas’ would appear—always curious, never causing trouble, and leaving behind only wagging tails and warm smiles.
