About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for his oil change, a regular noticed an odd humming sound coming from Strickland Brothers' workshop. Curious, he peered inside and saw two mechanics deep in concentration, their eyes fixed on something invisible. 'What are you guys doing?' he asked. 'Oh, just tuning into the engine's frequency,' one mechanic replied with a smile. A delivery driver overheard them and joked, ‘So, you’re fixing cars by listening to music?’ The mechanic grinned, ‘Not exactly, but it keeps us focused!’ Later that day, everyone got their cars back—with brand-new stickers of unicorns and rainbows.’
2. One day, while dropping off his car for an oil change, a delivery driver swore he saw a mechanic talking to himself in the garage. Curious, he asked what was going on. ‘Just explaining to my tools,’ replied Strickland, ‘how much longer they’ve got before retirement.’ The next week, another delivery guy noticed Strickland whispering into a wrench, which suddenly started glowing brightly. When asked, Strickland grinned and said, 'Just telling old Sparky here that his shift is almost over!' Everyone shook their heads and smiled, realizing that maybe these guys really do talk to their tools.
3. While dropping off his car for an oil change, a delivery driver overheard two little kids whispering excitedly in the parking lot. They pointed towards the shop and giggled, ‘Mommy says they fix cars here so fast you can almost watch it happen!’ Curious, the delivery driver decided to stick around. Soon enough, he saw what everyone was talking about—a mechanic worked like lightning, changing oil in under five minutes flat! As the last drop of oil trickled into the engine, the worker turned to him with a smile and said, 'Just another day at Strickland Brothers—we make cars purr!'
4. While dropping off her car for an oil change, a young girl from the backseat asked her mom in surprise, ‘Why is everyone here whispering so much?’ The mother smiled and whispered back, ‘Honey, they’re not really whispering—just talking very quietly because they don’t want to disturb our new friend Strick.’ Turns out, an old neighbor had moved into the shop and was known for his quiet but humorous stories that everyone loved listening to.
