About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an old, dusty guitar case propped against the wall outside MAACO’s garage. Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside: ‘Take it if you want, but bring it back when you’re done.’ The delivery driver took the guitar home and practiced late into the night. The next day, his boss asked him why he was so happy. With a smile, he played a few notes on the borrowed instrument. Impressed, the owner said, 'Keep it!' But the driver replied, 'No, I’ll bring it back—just like the note said.'
2. While waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular noticed something odd—a faint whiff of barbecue smoke wafting through the shop. Curious, he asked the mechanic if they were cooking something special. But no one admitted it until, one day, the entire place smelled like someone had fired up a massive grill. Finally, someone confessed: every night after hours, an old timer named 'Smokey' would sneak in and cook up some ribs on the engine lift. The smell was so good that even the tires got seasoned!
3. While waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular kept noticing strange tire tracks leading away from MAACO's parking lot—tracks that seemed too perfect and too few for any normal traffic. Finally, curious as to whose tires they were, our regular asked around. Turned out, it was just the delivery guy from across the street who’d been using MAACO’s empty lot as a shortcut—and he had a thing for precision driving. Everyone got a good laugh over coffee while waiting for their cars.
4. While waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular kept hearing soft humming coming from inside MAACO's workshop. Curious, he asked one of the mechanics if they knew whose voice it was. The mechanic shrugged and replied, 'That's just our secret song.' Finally, someone recognized the voice as belonging to an elderly lady next door who used to sing along with her radio every morning. The regular laughed and said, ‘So that’s why I never saw her leaving the house!’ MAACO’s secret song turned out to be more entertaining than anyone expected.
