About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Performance Automotive & Transmission with an unusual package. As he walked in, his dog started barking uncontrollably, pointing towards the workshop door. The mechanic looked puzzled but opened it anyway—only to see a strange glow coming from under the hood of one car. Curious, the mechanic peered inside and saw nothing but a flashing red light on the dashboard. He shrugged, popped the hood, and found a tiny kitten purring contentedly among the wires. Turns out, someone had accidentally left their cat in the car overnight. A neighbor came by later that day to collect her new friend, promising never to leave again without saying goodbye. Everyone laughed it off as just another day at Performance Automotive & Transmission.
2. A delivery driver pulled up one afternoon, frowning as he eyed the old sign above the shop’s door. ‘Transmission Repair’ it read, but something seemed off today. ‘What gives?’ he muttered, stepping out of his truck. Just then, an old man emerged from the workshop, wiping grease-stained hands on his overalls. 'Ah,' he said with a twinkle in his eye, 'we changed the sign again—now it reads “Performance Automotive & Transmission.”' The delivery driver blinked and nodded, shaking his head with a smile. 'That explains everything,' he chuckled, knowing perfectly well that nothing had really changed.
3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Performance Automotive & Transmission, puzzled by the note on the door: ‘If your engine sounds like a chainsaw, wait five minutes.’ The delivery driver shrugged and waited. Five minutes later, he heard an even louder roar from inside. Curious, he knocked on the door. A gruff voice replied, 'Your engine's fixed—now it sounds like a jet!' The driver laughed and drove off, never realizing that his truck now had a transmission capable of taking him to the moon.
4. A little boy walked into Performance Automotive & Transmission, pointing excitedly at something on the wall. ‘Dad,’ he said, ‘what’s that funny-looking car?’ The mechanic looked up and smiled. ‘That, sonny,’ he replied, ‘is a classic 1967 Mustang.’ The kid tilted his head curiously. ‘Why does it look like it’s sleeping?’ The mechanic laughed. ‘Because, pal, it’s been here so long, it probably thinks it owns the place!’
