About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Gearheads garage, something odd started happening one foggy morning. A little girl passing by stopped dead in her tracks, pointing at the mechanic’s bench where an old engine part glowed faintly under the workshop lights. Curious, the mechanic picked up the glowing piece and noticed it was just an old headlight lens. But as he held it closer to his face, he realized it wasn’t fog—he had forgotten his glasses again. The little girl giggled and ran off, while a regular customer whistled softly, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Old man, you’re getting too forgetful for this line of work.’
2. At Gearheads garage, one night after closing, a delivery driver noticed an unusual sign on the door: ‘Tune-ups guaranteed to make your engine purr like a kitten.’ Curious, he went in and found the place bathed in neon cat lights. As he looked around, he saw old posters of classic cars replaced with pictures of felines. On a table lay a stack of cat-themed tools, including a wrench shaped like a whisker. Smiling, the delivery driver thought, 'Why not?' and asked if they could tune up his truck. Half an hour later, out came his vehicle purring softly—like a contented tabby. Since then, everyone calls Gearheads 'the place where engines get their paws fixed.'
3. At Gearheads garage, one rainy afternoon, a mechanic overheard a customer muttering under his breath: ‘I swear, every time I come here, my car gets smarter.’ The mechanic grinned and nodded knowingly. Later that evening, while working on another car, he whispered to himself, 'Maybe it’s just our way of saying “thank you” for keeping us in business.' The next day, the original customer returned with a smile, remarking, 'My car says hi!'
4. At Gearheads garage, one quiet Sunday afternoon, a small dog wandered in through the open door. The usually busy workshop fell silent as everyone watched it curiously sniff around the tools and greasy rags. Suddenly, an old mechanic, grinning broadly, scooped up the pup and said, ‘Looks like today’s special is a free oil change for our new four-legged friend!’ Everyone laughed, and soon the little dog was happily snoozing on an old blanket while the crew worked their magic. The legend of Gearheads grew another notch that day—wherever a car needed fixing, a lost pooch could always count on finding friends.
