About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a strange package. As he unloaded it into the workshop, an old mechanic noticed something odd—a tiny windscreen wiper attached to an envelope. Curious, the mechanic opened the envelope and found inside only a note: ‘Try cleaning your screen with this.’ The little wiper turned out to be a novelty item from a local fair. That day, everyone in the workshop had a good laugh—and a cleaner windshield.

2. A curious neighbor noticed something peculiar one afternoon. While waiting for their car to be fixed at National Windscreens, they observed an unusual pattern in the way mechanics arranged tools on shelves. The more the neighbor watched, the more perplexed they became—why did every screwdriver point northward? It turned out that a delivery driver had accidentally left his compass in the tool box, and ever since then, the mechanics followed his quirky habit. When asked about it, they just grinned and said, ‘Why fix what ain’t broke?’

3. At National Windscreens, a regular customer once complained, ‘I’ve never seen so many windshields in one place!’ The mechanic just smiled and replied, ‘That’s because every time someone leaves without paying, we put them on display.’ A few days later, an anxious-looking delivery driver rushed in, asking frantically if he’d left anything behind. With a twinkle in his eye, the mechanic pointed towards the display of windscreens and quipped, ‘It looks like you forgot something… or maybe everything.’

4. A regular customer walked in one day and exclaimed, ‘I can’t believe it’s been three months since my last visit!’ The receptionist replied, ‘Welcome back, sir—we’ve only just started noticing your absence.’ Just then, a delivery driver arrived with a new windscreen for an old lady next door. She entered, muttering under her breath, 'Three whole months? I thought you were out of business!' The receptionist smiled and said, 'Madam, we're here every day—just like your complaints!'
