About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Mike More Miles and grumbled, ‘Why does my truck always break down here?’ Mike looked up from his toolbox with a smile and said, 'Ah, your old friend Mike More Miles is here again! Don't worry, I'll fix it right up.' The driver shook his head and muttered under his breath as he walked away—only to return an hour later with another broken-down vehicle. It seems that wherever Mike More Miles' garage was, mechanical problems followed like a shadow.
2. A neighborhood kid, Billy, was pedaling his bike past Mike More Miles one afternoon when he noticed something strange. The mechanic’s dog, Max, usually barked at everyone but today lay motionless near the workshop door. Billy tiptoed closer and peered inside. Inside the workshop, Mr. More Miles sat slumped over a toolbox, snoring softly. Max, it turned out, had just dozed off too. ‘Guess I’ll come back later,’ Billy muttered, then rode home, muttering about how maybe mechanics needed more rest.’
3. One night, a regular asked aloud as he walked in: ‘Mike, why does it always take three days for you to fix my headlights?’ Mike scratched his head and replied with a smile, 'Well, you see, I have to wait until the moon is full enough to shine through those headlights just right.' The regular laughed heartily and said, 'Thanks, Mike!' leaving with a wave, knowing that next time he'd get the same warm welcome—even if his lights took another three days.
4. A little dog named Maxie started visiting Mike More Miles every day after his owner fixed the family car there. Each time, Maxie would sit outside the shop, wagging furiously and staring intently at something no one else could see. One day, an old delivery driver pulled up, scratched his head, and said, ‘I’ve been seeing that dog for months now…’ Just then, Maxie ran over and led them both into the workshop, where a tiny mechanical bone was stuck in the gearbox. They all laughed, and from then on, whenever someone needed their car fixed, they’d say, “Take it to Mike More Miles—even dogs know who does good work!”
