About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Monro Muffler Brake & Service and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, why does your sign always say “We fix everything but hearts”?’ The mechanic grinned and replied, ‘Because if we fixed hearts here, our customers would never leave!’ A few days later, an elderly gentleman walked in and asked curiously, 'Why do you only claim to fix everything except hearts?' With a twinkle in his eye, the mechanic quipped, 'Well, sir, if we ever tried fixing yours, you'd probably drive off without paying!'
2. One day, while customers were waiting for their cars to be serviced, an announcement came over the loud speaker: ‘Attention, everyone! Your brakes are not working properly unless you’ve heard this message three times.’ A regular customer, who always brought his old truck in for maintenance, leaned over and whispered jokingly, 'Maybe I should ask them to announce it every five minutes!' Suddenly, everyone started laughing as another voice crackled through the intercom: ‘And your mufflers aren’t quiet either unless you hear this four times.’
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Monro Muffler Brake & Service with a strange package marked ‘Top Secret’. As he walked in, an announcement over the PA system said, ‘Attention all mechanics: please do not open any packages labeled “Top Secret” until further notice.’ As it turned out, the mysterious package contained nothing more than a new coffee maker for the staff room. The delivery driver was just trying to be nice, and everyone had a good laugh when they found out. Now, whenever someone brings in a random box, there's always a bit of excitement—though no one dares touch anything labeled 'Top Secret' anymore.
4. A neighborhood dog started visiting Monro Muffler Brake & Service every Tuesday around sunset. He would sit patiently outside until the last customer left, then disappear into the night. One Tuesday evening, a delivery driver arrived just as the sun dipped below the horizon. Spotting the dog, he asked the mechanic, ‘Who’s your friend?’ The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘Don’t know, but he always shows up on Tuesdays.’ That week, the dog brought along his owner—a grumpy old man who glared at everyone. From that day on, whenever anyone mentioned the mysterious canine visitor, they’d say, ‘Oh, that must be Mr. Grumps’ lost pet!’
