About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A regular dropped by Virginia Auto Service one morning and noticed an old toolbox on the workshop floor. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover a note inside reading, ‘Take me home.’ The mechanic shrugged, ‘Just some old guy’s prank.’ But later that day, another worker found a notebook filled with similar notes: ‘Bring me coffee,’ ‘Check my tire pressure,’ and even, ‘Fix my horn!’ Turns out Virginia Auto Service had become the town’s unofficial message board.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to Virginia Auto Service one afternoon with a big smile on his face. ‘Hey guys,’ he called out, ‘I just got a new license plate frame that says “Fix It Here”!’ The mechanics looked at each other and burst into laughter—until they realized it wasn’t just any frame. From then on, whenever someone needed their car fixed, they’d joke, ‘Better take it to Virginia Auto Service—they’ve got a sign for that!’ And every time a delivery driver or neighbor came in, the mechanics would glance up from their workbench, half expecting another hilarious frame.
3. A little boy followed his dad into Virginia Auto Service one Saturday. As he walked past the workshop door, something caught his eye—a strange, glowing object on the floor. 'Dad,' he whispered, pointing, ‘what’s that?’ His father squatted down and picked up a small, sparkling marble. Smiling, he said, ‘It’s just an old marble, son. Must’ve been lost when someone was playing outside.’ The boy nodded, satisfied, and they both went back inside, leaving the mysterious glow behind them.
4. One foggy night, a delivery driver pulled up to Virginia Auto Service with a heavy load. Suddenly, from inside the garage came a sound like a distant laugh—eerie yet not quite human. The driver looked around nervously but saw no one. Just as he was about to leave, an old mechanic appeared and said, 'That’s just my old clock radio, son.' They both laughed, and the driver realized it had been a quiet Friday night prank. From then on, whenever someone mentioned ghosts, the delivery guy always joked, ‘Nah, it was probably just Virginia Auto Service.’
