A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dimly lit garage of NTB one morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the workbench—a small, rusted keychain with an old-fashioned gas pump symbol. Curious, he picked it up and found that whenever he pressed its button, the entire shop seemed to hum with an eerie yet comforting vibration. The delivery driver showed the strange keychain to his coworkers, who shrugged it off as just another oddity from NTB’s mysterious past. But every time someone pressed the button, the place buzzed like a well-oiled machine. Eventually, a neighborhood mechanic stopped by for repairs and remarked, ‘That’s my old keychain! I lost it years ago.’ They all laughed—except when they tried starting their cars, which suddenly purred like kittens.

2. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside NTB and asked himself aloud, ‘Why do I always get here just as the coffee machine is being cleaned?’ Just then, an old neighbor walked in, carrying his toolbox. ‘Morning, Joe,’ said the delivery driver with a smile. ‘Another Sunday spent waiting for that magic moment when they start brewing again?’ The neighbor nodded knowingly. ‘Trust me, it’ll happen eventually.’ And sure enough, within minutes, the familiar hiss of steam from the espresso machine filled the air. A regular waved from behind the counter: “Welcome back, caffeine addict!”

3. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside NTB and noticed an old toolbox on the parking lot. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover a stack of ancient blueprints inside, each meticulously labeled with names like ‘The Floating Gas Pump’ and ‘The Car That Laughs Back.’ As he flipped through them, he heard a strange humming sound coming from behind the workshop. Curiosity got the better of him, and he followed the noise into a dusty corner where an old radio was playing soft jazz. On its dashboard sat a tiny sign reading: 'Welcome to NTB—where your car always gets fixed, even if it’s not here yet.'

4. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside NTB and was surprised by an odd whiff of freshly baked bread. Curious, he stepped inside only to discover that the mechanic had brought in his own homemade loaf for everyone. As he bit into it, everyone burst out laughing—turns out the mechanic used motor oil instead of olive oil! Since then, NTB’s secret menu includes ‘oil-basted’ bread, ordered mostly by a regular who claims it gives him extra strength when changing tires.
