About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Brakes Plus garage late one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the workshop wall. Above the tools hung a sign reading: ‘If your brakes squeak, bring them here before sunrise or they’ll never stop.’ Since then, every morning employees found new mysterious messages scribbled in grease pencil. One day, an old neighbor dropped off his car and asked curiously about the messages. The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Just our way of keeping things interesting.' As he fixed the brake pads, he added jokingly, 'Don’t worry, if your brakes don’t squeak, you can still come back anytime!'
2. At Brakes Plus garage late one night, a delivery driver heard a strange noise coming from under the hood of an old truck. Curious, he peered inside and saw a tiny head poking out from beneath the engine block—a curious kitten exploring its newfound hiding spot. The delivery driver carefully picked up the little fellow and placed him on the workshop bench. The kitten immediately started purring and playing with some tools lying around. It turned out that the old truck belonged to a neighbor who had forgotten to pick it up earlier. The next morning, after fixing both the truck and the kitty’s curiosity, everyone at Brakes Plus had a good laugh—and a new mascot for their garage.
3. At Brakes Plus garage late one night, a delivery driver found an old toolbox hidden behind the tire rack. Curious, he opened it and discovered a stack of dusty manuals—each titled ‘Emergency Roadside Assistance Handbook.’ Flipping through the pages, he stumbled upon a faded note scribbled in pencil: 'For emergencies only, use code X98.' The delivery driver grinned, thinking how perfect this was for his next prank on a colleague. Later that week, when his friend needed help with his brakes, he calmly said, 'Code X98?' and watched as his friend’s eyes widened in surprise.
4. At Brakes Plus garage late one night, a delivery driver smelled something peculiar—a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting through the air. Curious, he followed the scent and found an old mechanic in the kitchen, stirring batter with a grease-stained spoon. ‘Oh,’ said the mechanic, noticing him for the first time. ‘Just making some cookies for my granddaughter next door.’ The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and thought, ‘Next time I’ll bring doughnuts instead.’
