A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Tanner Transmissions with an unusual package. As he unloaded it from his truck, he noticed something odd on the back seat—a strange old keyring shaped like a gearshift lever. Curious, Tanner stuck the keyring in his pocket and went about fixing the delivery van. Later that day, while working under the hood, he found an ancient coin hidden inside the engine block. It turned out to be a lucky charm for mechanics, passed down through generations. From then on, whenever someone dropped off their car at Tanner Transmissions, they’d find a small surprise—like a vintage matchbook or a handwritten note of thanks. The legend grew, and soon neighbors joked that if your car was fixed there, you might just get more than just a repaired transmission.
2. A neighbor stopped by one afternoon, lugging a strange box under his arm. ‘Just dropping off something for old Tanner,’ he muttered, glancing around nervously. Old Tanner took the box with a puzzled look, muttering something about 'odd requests.' Later that evening, as he opened it curiously, out popped a live goldfish in a tiny bowl. A note read: 'Hope your day runs smoothly!'
3. At dawn, when most mechanics were just stretching their legs, a delivery driver pulled up to Tanner Transmissions with a mysterious crate marked only in foreign symbols. Curious, Tanner opened it and found inside an old transmission manual from the 70s, written entirely in Klingon. After some laughter and head scratching, he realized it was a practical joke from his tech-savvy neighbor who loved pranks. They spent the day bonding over obscure languages and vintage cars.
4. At dawn, when most mechanics were just stretching their legs, a delivery driver pulled up with a large crate marked ‘Top Secret’. Curious eyes followed him as he carried it into the workshop. Inside, everyone found only an old radio and a note that read: 'Try tuning in during rush hour.' That afternoon, while fixing someone’s horn, the mechanic accidentally played a classic rock station. Suddenly, customers started dancing, cars honking along, and the place turned into a spontaneous sing-along. Tanner Transmissions became famous for its unconventional repairs—and excellent soundtrack.
