About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Ace Auto Repair one morning, a delivery driver noticed an old toolbox left on the workshop bench. Curious, he opened it and found a stack of vintage racing trophies inside—none belonging to anyone working there. The delivery driver grinned, thinking maybe someone was pulling his leg. Later that day, while chatting with a neighbor, he mentioned the strange discovery. The neighbor nodded knowingly and said, ‘Oh, those are from Ace’s college days—he used to race cars in college.’ Everyone laughed, realizing the mystery was just another quirky tale about their friendly mechanic.
2. One day, while waiting for his car to be fixed at Ace Auto Repair, a regular found something peculiar in the service bay. Among the tools and parts, nestled beneath an old tire, lay a dusty envelope addressed to ‘The Next Mechanic Who Needs It Most.’ Curious, he opened it and found only a crumpled note that read: 'Use my special wrench when you fix cars on Thursdays.' Turns out, it was just some old mechanic's quirky tradition.
3. One foggy night, a delivery driver pulled up to Ace Auto Repair and was startled by a strange humming sound coming from inside. As he approached the workshop door, the smell of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air—an unexpected aroma in a mechanic’s garage. Curious, the driver peeked inside and saw an old man bent over a carburetor, his hands covered in grease but holding a cookie tin. ‘Thought you could use a break,’ said the mechanic with a smile. The delivery driver left with a free cookie and a story to tell—a sweet reminder that sometimes mechanics are just as good at baking as they are at fixing cars.
4. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Ace Auto Repair and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, do you ever see those strange tire tracks around here?’ The mechanic shrugged, 'Nah, never noticed anything.' Then he pointed out, 'But I’ve been here for twenty years—maybe my eyes are just too old!' The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off. A few days later, another neighbor stopped in and mentioned seeing similar tracks near the dumpster. Now everyone’s keeping an eye out, but so far, no one has seen anything more than some unusual tire marks.
