About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Midas and asked the mechanic, ‘Why does your neon sign keep flashing “Trust No One”?’ The mechanic just smiled and said it was just their new advertising gimmick. The next day, a neighbor walked in and asked why the sign changed to ‘Trust Your Neighbor.’ The mechanic replied, ‘Just our latest promotion—get your oil changed for free if you can guess what it means!’
2. At midnight, a neighbor’s dog started howling whenever someone drove past Midas. The owner thought it was funny until one day he saw the mechanic waving at him from inside the garage. Finally curious, the owner asked what was going on. Turns out, every night at exactly midnight, a regular would drive his old truck into the shop—without turning on his headlights—and park right next to the dog’s favorite spot. The dog recognized the sound of that engine and greeted him like an old friend.
3. At dawn, a curious tourist approached the Midas garage, puzzled by its peculiar sign: 'Fix It Once, Fix It Right.' He wondered if it held some hidden meaning. Inside, an old mechanic with grease-stained overalls smiled knowingly and said, ‘That’s our motto, son. We fix cars here like they were made of gold.’ The tourist left, shaking his head but grinning, realizing that sometimes life’s best lessons come from unexpected places.
4. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a regular found an old, dusty toolbox left behind on the service bay. Curious, he opened it—and inside were neatly arranged tools, each labeled with a tiny gold coin. Smiling, our regular took one of those coins and polished it carefully until it shimmered like new. Over time, whenever someone needed minor repairs or an oil change, they’d see that same golden toolkit sitting there—empty, but mysteriously clean and organized. Eventually, Midas’ customers started calling it ‘the magic box,’ and everyone agreed it brought good luck.
