About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the mechanic, ‘Why does your garage always smell like pancakes?’ The mechanic grinned and replied, 'Oh, that's because my wife bakes pancakes every Sunday morning while I work here.' The delivery driver nodded knowingly, thinking it was just another quirky thing about Autoworks of Tampa.
2. One day, a curious neighbor knocked on the shop door and asked, 'How come you guys never seem to work on cars that are actually broken?' The mechanic smiled and replied, ‘Oh, those cars? They’re just here for routine check-ups—you know, like your neighbor’s lawnmower or that delivery driver’s truck. We keep them in top shape so they last longer!’ The neighbor nodded wisely, realizing he’d been fooled by his own curiosity.
3. One afternoon, a customer asked the mechanic, ‘Why do you always leave that old tire outside?’ The mechanic smiled and replied, 'Oh, that's not just any tire. It's my lucky charm!' The customer raised an eyebrow, but then saw it was the same old tire from last year’s Super Bowl party. With a laugh, he said, 'I see. And how's your luck?'
4. A regular pulled up in his trusty old truck one Saturday morning. As he walked into Autoworks of Tampa, he noticed something odd—an unfamiliar scent wafting from under the hood of every car. As he leaned closer, he saw tiny blue fairies dancing around each engine, humming happily. Confused but intrigued, our regular asked the mechanic what was going on. The mechanic smiled and replied, ‘Oh, those are just our special “Happy Engine Fairies.” They come only when we fix cars with a smile.’
