About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an old toolbox sitting on the service bay counter. Curious, he picked it up and found a rusty keychain inside with a note scribbled on it: ‘For whoever finds this.’ The delivery driver shrugged and stuck the keychain in his pocket. Later that day, while fixing his own car, he tried each key on the chain until one fit perfectly into the ignition of his neighbor’s vintage Mustang parked next door. After a quick apology and a laugh, both neighbors became friends, often stopping by DeVoss Auto Service for friendly chats over coffee.

2. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to DeVoss Auto Service and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, do you guys ever see anything strange around here?’ The mechanic looked up from his wrench and replied, ‘You won’t believe what our neighbor swears he saw last week.’ The neighbor leaned in conspiratorially and whispered, ‘He said he thought he saw Bigfoot washing cars out back!’ Everyone burst into laughter, including the delivery driver who just wanted his truck fixed. As they laughed, the mechanic shook his head and grinned, ‘Next time, dude, maybe check your beer before reporting sightings.’

3. One day, while waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular asked the mechanic: ‘Why does it always take longer than you say?’ The mechanic smiled mysteriously and replied: “Because I never tell you exactly how long it will take.” A few days later, an impatient delivery driver approached the mechanic with a growl: ‘You said two hours! It’s been three!’ The mechanic winked: ‘Two hours was my best guess.’ As they walked away, the driver shook his head and muttered, ‘Guess I’ll just have to learn your tricks one day…’

4. Early one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to DeVoss Auto Service with a box of spare parts. As he stepped out, he heard a strange humming sound coming from under the hood of his truck. Curious, he opened the bonnet and saw a small glowing orb floating around the engine. Startled, he jumped back, but then noticed it was just an old CD stuck in the wiper motor. With a laugh, he popped it out and drove off, never mentioning the incident to anyone—except maybe a neighbor later that night over beers.
