About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Young’s Automotive, a delivery driver once noticed an odd message scrawled on the garage wall: ‘Your engine misses you.’ Over the next few weeks, whenever someone had a minor issue with their vehicle, they’d receive a mysterious note during service hours—always signed simply, ‘The Mechanic Who Cares.’ One day, an elderly lady brought in her classic car for routine maintenance. When she picked it up later that afternoon, there was a small envelope attached to the windshield wiper. Inside read: 'Dear Mrs. Smith, your engine is getting lonely and asks when you'll come back.' The mechanic who cares.' Her neighbors teased her for months after that.
2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Young’s Automotive with a box of spare parts. As he unloaded them into the garage, he heard a strange noise coming from inside—a faint humming that sounded like someone singing along to an old radio show. Curious, he peered through the open door and saw only an empty workbench and a dusty toolbox. But when he looked closer, he swore he could see the reflection of a shadowy figure in the toolkit mirror. The delivery driver shrugged it off as his imagination playing tricks on him. Later that day, while leaving the shop, he noticed an old man waving from across the street. ‘That’s Mr. Young,’ he thought, smiling. Turns out, Mr. Young was just tuning in to his favorite vintage radio show—right from his own workshop, hidden behind a curtain.
3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Young’s Automotive with a box of spare parts. As he walked into the workshop, he spotted something unusual—a small metal plaque on the counter reading ‘Lucky Day Today.’ Curious, he asked the mechanic what it meant. The mechanic grinned and replied, 'Today is Lucky Day because every time someone mentions that plaque, they win a free oil change!' The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and said, 'Next time I'll just keep my mouth shut.'
4. A delivery driver pulled up to Young’s Automotive one afternoon with a package in hand. As he approached the door, a small dog inside yawned and stretched—then suddenly perked up, staring intently at something only it could see. The delivery driver looked around, but saw nothing unusual. The little dog continued to stare, its tail wagging excitedly. Suddenly, an old mechanic popped his head out from behind a car engine and said, 'That’s just Spot—he thinks every FedEx guy is his long-lost pal.' Everyone laughed, and Spot trotted off to greet the new friend.
