About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Brakes Plus and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, do you guys ever hear noises from your garage that sound like someone’s playing air guitar?’ The mechanic shrugged, but soon enough, every employee started noticing it too—especially when it coincided with certain customers arriving. Finally, one day an old guy walked in and said, 'I’ve been hearing this noise for months!' Turns out he had installed an actual air guitar in his car as a prank. Since then, whenever anyone mentions it, they just wave and say, 'That’s my neighbor's doing.'
2. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching their arms, an old pickup truck pulled into Brakes Plus. The owner emerged, wearing nothing but a sleepy smile and a pair of slippers. The mechanic raised an eyebrow but nodded, starting his work without question. An hour later, the truck was fixed, and the man disappeared back into the darkness, leaving behind only a warm scent of coffee and a note on the windshield that read: ‘Thanks for saving my morning!’
3. At closing time, a regular walked into Brakes Plus with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Hey Joe,’ he said, ‘I just noticed my car has two steering wheels now.’ Joe looked up from his toolbox and grinned. 'Don’t worry,' he said calmly. 'It’s actually an optional feature for luxury cars—two steering wheels for better passenger comfort.' The regular laughed and shook his head, walking out with a newfound appreciation for his vehicle's sophistication.
4. One day after school, little Timmy walked past Brakes Plus and stopped in surprise. The sign outside read ‘Tires Now $9.99,’ but next to it hung a tiny pair of red shoes. Curious, Timmy asked an old mechanic inside if those were real shoes. With a twinkle in his eye, the gruff man replied, 'Nah, boy, they're just for show—like our tires, they gotta look good!' And so, ever since then, whenever someone sees those red shoes hanging there, they know it's time for a laugh and maybe a new set of tires.
