About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, while waiting for his car to be fixed, a little boy kept staring at an old tire swing hanging outside Harrison Automotive. The more he watched, the slower it seemed to move—until one afternoon, it stopped altogether. Everyone in line froze, then heard soft laughter coming from behind the workshop door. Finally, an old mechanic appeared with twinkling eyes and said, 'It’s been resting long enough!' He gave the tire swing a gentle push, and off it went again, sending everyone into fits of giggles. From that day on, whenever anyone waited too long, they’d hear the familiar creak and laugh from inside Harrison Automotive—a friendly reminder that sometimes even cars need a good stretch.
2. While waiting for his car to be repaired, an old man noticed something strange—every time he looked up from his newspaper, a nearby clock seemed to move backward. Finally, the mechanic called out: ‘Sir, your car’s fixed!’ The old man stood up, stretched, and glanced again at the clock—it was now showing exactly the same time as when he arrived. With a smile, he paid the bill and left. As he walked home, he heard someone shout from across the street: “Hey, you forgot to pick up your newspaper!” Turning around, he saw that it had been there all along, neatly folded on the bench.
3. In the quiet corner of Harrison Automotive’s workshop, a delivery driver found something peculiar one morning. Among the usual tools and spare parts lay a tiny, intricately carved wooden steering wheel. Curious, he picked it up and noticed an old postcard stuck inside. It was addressed to ‘Dear Mechanic,’ with a note saying, ‘If you ever see this, I parked here in ’87.’ A nearby mechanic laughed, shaking his head: ‘That’s Mr. Jenkins’ secret stash—he brings us lunch every year!’
4. In the dead of night, when Harrison Automotive should’ve been silent, a delivery driver heard soft humming coming from under the hood of an old truck. Curious, he leaned closer and saw a small cat purring contentedly next to a loose wire. Turns out, the truck’s owner was a regular who brought his feline friend along for the ride every night. Since then, whenever someone needed repairs after hours, they’d hear not only the humming engine but also faint meows from inside.
