About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Master Mechanic for an oil change, he asked the mechanic, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in the old garage?’ The mechanic scratched his head and replied, 'Only when I’m trying to fix that old radio.' The delivery driver laughed, and soon they were both humming along to some classic tunes from the ’80s. It turned out the radio was just stuck on an old station.
2. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching in their pajamas, an old pickup truck pulled into Master Mechanic with its headlights on full beam. The owner, a gruff but friendly farmer, stumbled out, muttering something about ‘the ghost of a broken tail light.’ The mechanic, rubbing his sleepy eyes, took one look at the truck and grinned. 'You must be that old timer from down the road,' he said. 'Yep, that's me,' replied the farmer, scratching his head. 'I thought it was haunting me.' With a chuckle, the mechanic fixed the tail light, and as the sun rose over the workshop, both men shared a hearty laugh—about cars, not ghosts.
3. One morning, while a little girl played nearby, her toy car suddenly zoomed towards the entrance of Master Mechanic. The mechanic, puzzled, looked down and found no one controlling it. The mechanic picked up the car gently and waved it in front of him like a magic wand. Suddenly, the toy roared to life again, spun around, and drove back into the workshop on its own. Everyone burst out laughing—even the little girl joined in—and from that day on, whenever someone mentioned Master Mechanic, they’d say, ‘That’s where cars go when they want repairs!’
4. At midnight, when the streets of Detroit fell silent, a voice crackled over Master Mechanic’s intercom: ‘Attention all mechanics—your cars are calling!’ One night, an old delivery driver named Mr. Johnson showed up with his rattling truck. The intercom buzzed again: 'Your engine misses you!' Turns out, it was just Master Mechanic teasing him—it had been months since he’d brought his rig in for service. They both laughed, and Mr. Johnson promised to come back sooner next time.
