About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to JB Motor Works and asked, ‘Hey, do you ever hear that strange humming sound when I’m here?’ The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Nope, never heard it.' The next day, though, he noticed an old lady whispering to her car while waiting for repairs. She leaned over and whispered back, 'Shhhh… it's just JB talking to your engine!' Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, whenever anyone mentioned the humming, everyone knew JB was probably tuning someone’s dream ride.
2. One morning, a neighbor walking his dog heard an unusual humming sound coming from JB Motor Works. The noise grew louder with each passing minute, like someone tuning up an entire orchestra of engines. Curious, he peered inside and saw only Mr. Brown, the gruff mechanic, fiddling with some wires while whistling an old tune. ‘Just checking the timing,’ he growled without looking up. The humming stopped as abruptly as it had begun. Turning around, everyone found themselves staring at a perfectly tuned engine that fired up with a gentle purr. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned JB Motor Works, they’d smile and say, “That’s where even dogs come for a tune-up.”
3. One day, while customers were waiting for their cars to be fixed, someone over the intercom announced: 'Attention, all vehicles with license plates ending in odd numbers—please exit immediately.' A delivery driver looked confused and asked, ‘What about even-numbered plates?’ Then a voice added, ‘And if your engine is making an odd noise, get out now!’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just JB messing around. The next day, everyone brought JB coffee as thanks for the morning entertainment.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to JB Motor Works with a frown on his face. As he approached the door, he noticed something strange—a faint glow coming from under the hood of every parked car. Curious, he popped open the nearest hood and found nothing out of the ordinary—until he looked down and saw his own reflection smiling back at him in the headlights. Turns out, JB had installed some new LED bulbs that lit up everything around them after dark. The delivery driver left with a laugh, shaking his head and muttering, ‘That JB, always finding ways to brighten our nights!’
