About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for his car to be serviced, a little boy kept pointing excitedly out the window. His father shrugged it off until he saw the same thing—a strange light flickering from Nick and Sons' workshop. Curious, they walked over together. Through the open door, they saw an old mechanic waving a flashlight around, humming to himself. It turned out he was just checking the alignment of some vintage headlights. The boy grinned, saying, 'Dad, maybe cars here talk!' Dad laughed, shaking his head—until he noticed everyone else laughing too.
2. While dropping off his car for routine maintenance, an elderly gentleman noticed something peculiar in the workshop’s waiting area. Among the usual assortment of old tires and mismatched hubcaps sat a small, intricately carved wooden duck. No one seemed to notice or mention it, yet its presence remained oddly out of place. As he waited, a delivery driver walked past with a box under his arm, muttering something about ‘another darned order gone missing.’ The old man glanced back at the duck and thoughtfully smiled—maybe everyone was too busy to notice such trivial things. When he picked up his car later that day, there was still no sign of the little wooden duck, but he couldn’t help feeling like someone had left him a secret smile.
3. A young boy walked into Nick and Sons Exotic Auto one afternoon, clearly agitated. As he approached the counter, he pointed excitedly at a strange contraption humming in the corner—something neither his father nor anyone else had ever seen before. ‘What’s that?’ asked the puzzled dad. The kid just grinned, grabbed a wrench from behind the counter, and started fiddling with it. Soon enough, everyone was watching as the mysterious machine whirred into life, revealing itself to be nothing more than an old coffee maker. ‘It’s for my mom,’ said the boy proudly. ‘She loves when I fix things.’
4. A delivery driver pulled up to Nick and Sons Exotic Auto one hot summer day, sweating profusely under his uniform. As he stepped out of the truck, he noticed something odd: the air conditioning unit on top of the shop seemed to be playing a faint tune. Curious, the delivery driver approached the AC unit, which was indeed humming along to an old folk song. He leaned in closer, trying to catch the lyrics, when suddenly the music stopped—and so did the fan. The temperature inside shot up like a rocket, and everyone within earshot burst into laughter. From then on, whenever someone needed their car fixed at Nick and Sons, they knew it would come with a side order of unexpected entertainment.
