About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Brakes Plus, every morning begins with a mysterious announcement over the intercom. ‘Attention, delivery driver,’ it says. ‘Your package has arrived… from the future!’ Employees shake their heads and go about their work, but some customers swear they’ve seen the same man in an old-fashioned suit waiting outside for his mysterious deliveries. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the counter. 'I’m here for my usual,' he said, pulling out an ancient checkbook. The mechanic raised an eyebrow. Turns out, this was the very same delivery driver, decades older, collecting his packages from the future. Everyone laughed, including him—except maybe his great-grandson who’d been delivering parts all these years.
2. At Brakes Plus, every night around closing time, an old cassette player starts playing the same song: ‘It’s Raining Men.’ The staff ignores it until one day, a delivery driver swears he saw umbrellas opening inside the workshop. Soon enough, word spread among the mechanics that maybe the ghostly umbrellas were trying to tell them something. One evening, after another round of ‘It’s Raining Men,’ a mechanic joked, ‘Maybe they want us to install some sunroofs!’ And from then on, whenever the song played, everyone would gather in the workshop with their umbrellas, pretending to dance along. It became Brakes Plus’ unofficial tradition—an odd yet friendly way for the crew to bond over mysterious umbrellas and a catchy tune.
3. At Brakes Plus, every week a different mystery object appears on the service counter. First it was a tiny teddy bear, then a bag of popcorn, followed by a vintage pocket watch. No one knows where they come from. Finally, last week someone found an old photo album filled with pictures of cats doing funny things. A delivery driver claimed it belonged to his grandmother, who used to joke that her cat always fixed cars better than mechanics did. Everyone had a good laugh—and now everyone’s waiting for the next mysterious item.
4. At Brakes Plus, every afternoon after 3 PM, a small dog would appear from nowhere and dash towards the waiting area. No one knew where it came from or why it only showed up there. One day, an old man in a tweed jacket approached the counter. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘I’ve been coming here for years, but I never noticed that little dog.’ The mechanic shrugged. Later that evening, as everyone was leaving, they heard a tiny bark. There stood the dog, holding a piece of paper with a note: “I’m not lost—just taking a break!”
