About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Auto’s Star garage one night, a mechanic grumbled to himself as he tightened a bolt on an old truck: ‘This thing won’t start unless you say something nice.’ Since then, whenever someone pulls up with a broken-down car, they whisper a compliment before turning the key—and sure enough, it always starts right away. One evening, a sleepy delivery driver pulled in, muttering under his breath, 'Just give me coffee and let me get out of here.' The mechanic grinned and said, 'Try saying something sweet!' Reluctantly, the driver whispered, 'Your garage is cleaner than mine kitchen,' and—voilà—the engine roared to life. From then on, everyone knew that compliments were like magic fuel for Auto’s Star cars.

2. At Auto’s Star garage one night, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked for help with his truck. As the mechanic popped open the hood, everyone noticed something strange—a faint humming sound like distant bees followed him wherever he went. As they peered closer, the humming turned out to be just a swarm of tiny LEDs embedded in his hat. Turned out, ol’ delivery driver had been trying to impress his wife who loved those ‘cool’ hats from the city. Everyone laughed, mechanics fixed the truck, and the driver drove off happily—with his newfound fame as the town’s ‘humming hero.’

3. At Auto’s Star garage one night, a little boy ran in, pointing excitedly at the engine parts on display. His eyes widened when he saw the mechanic adjusting something unusual—an old toy car that seemed to be coming alive. Suddenly, the toy car started honking its tiny horn and rolling towards the amazed boy. The mechanic laughed and said, 'Just an old wind-up toy, kid.' But as they watched, the car zoomed out of the workshop, chasing after a passing delivery driver who had just waved goodbye. Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just another late-night prank at Auto’s Star.

4. At Auto’s Star garage one night, a small dog trotted in, sniffing curiously around the tires. Mechanics looked on with amusement until they noticed it kept circling the same tire—over and over again. Suddenly, everyone heard a soft whimper coming from under the hood. The mechanics peered inside and found the little dog cuddled up next to a spark plug, fast asleep. 'Guess he likes his spot,' shrugged a delivery driver. From then on, Auto’s Star became known not just for fixing cars, but also for its canine mechanic who occasionally took naps on the job.
