A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Broadway Import Auto Service, he heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all mechanics—your coffee is ready in the break room, and don’t forget to bring your sense of humor!’ As he entered the break room, he found the usual crew laughing uproariously at some old joke. One mechanic, holding a steaming cup, winked and said, 'Welcome to Broadway, where every day is like a Saturday!' The delivery driver smiled, poured himself a cup, and decided that maybe working here wasn’t so bad after all.
2. One day, while a delivery driver pulled up to Broadway Import Auto Service, he noticed an old man standing in front of the shop with a peculiar expression on his face. As the driver approached, he saw that the old man was holding a wrench and humming along to some tune only he could hear. Curious, the driver asked if everything was okay. With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, 'Just checking your engine for you—on behalf of my grandson who works here.' The delivery guy laughed, shook hands, and thought to himself, ‘Broadway Import must be a family place.’
3. At dawn, when Broadway Import Auto Service was just opening its doors, a delivery driver noticed something unusual—an old man with a toolbox appeared out of nowhere and started fixing cars without ever speaking. The delivery driver watched in amazement as the old man fixed everything perfectly, then vanished into thin air. From that day on, whenever anyone needed help, they’d see him appearing briefly before disappearing again. It became known around town that if you left your car’s headlights on overnight, he would show up and gently remind you with a friendly tap on the hood.
4. One night, after closing hours, a mechanic heard an odd noise coming from the empty lot next to Broadway Import Auto Service. Curious, he stepped outside and saw nothing but darkness—until his flashlight caught something peculiar on the ground. As he shined his light closer, he saw a small metal figurine of a car, left behind by some unknown hand. Smiling, he picked it up and placed it on the workshop shelf, joking that maybe it was a good-luck charm for their repairs. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the place, they’d say, ‘Oh, you must mean Broadway Import Auto Service—the one with the talking car statue!’
