About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Alpina Auto Body, every morning begins with a mysterious announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, please! The spirit of old Model Ts is restless today—move your cars one space forward.’ No one knows why, but everyone obeys. One day, an impatient delivery driver ignored the message and parked his truck right in front of the shop. As he walked away, he heard a faint clank-clank sound from inside. When he returned, his truck had mysteriously moved two spaces forward—and was now facing backwards! Everyone laughed, including the perplexed driver, as he sheepishly reversed it back into place.
2. At Alpina Auto Body, customers often wonder why the mechanic keeps greeting them with an odd question: ‘Did you know that your tire is talking to me in Morse code?’ One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘What does my tire say?’ The mechanic replied, smiling mysteriously, ‘It says “I’m overworked and underappreciated”.’ Turns out, Alpina’s owner had installed tiny LED lights inside tires, projecting messages during alignment—just to keep customers entertained.
3. At Alpina Auto Body, a delivery driver once remarked, ‘I’ve seen some strange things here, but today’s coffee tastes like it was brewed in another dimension!’ Then one day, an old neighbor stopped by and asked for directions. When he left, he muttered under his breath, 'That place must be haunted—first coffee from another planet, now ghostly navigation!'
4. At Alpina Auto Body, a delivery driver once remarked, ‘I’ve seen some strange things, but never anything like this.’ One day, while waiting for parts, he noticed that every afternoon exactly at 3 PM, the entire workshop would fill with the scent of freshly baked cookies. Finally, one curious delivery driver decided to investigate and followed the aroma to an old van parked in the corner. Inside was an ancient oven and an even more ancient cat named Mrs. Paws-a-Lot, who insisted on baking cookies every afternoon as she had done since the shop opened decades ago. The legend ended there, with everyone agreeing it was better not to ask too many questions.
