About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Brakes Plus garage one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd—his dog kept staring intently at the ceiling, whimpering softly. The mechanic shrugged it off until he heard an eerie humming sound coming from behind the wall. Curious, the mechanic knocked on the wall, and much to everyone’s surprise, a tiny voice replied, ‘Woof! Can I come out now?’ Turned out the dog had been trapped in the wall cavity for hours, waiting patiently for rescue. Since then, Brakes Plus became known not just for fixing brakes but also for occasional canine rescues.
2. At Brakes Plus, a mechanic found an unusual item in the waiting area one morning—a tiny umbrella, perfectly suited for a teacup-sized person. No note or explanation accompanied it. Another day passed without any clues, until a delivery driver mentioned seeing a miniature umbrella outside his truck’s window earlier that week. The next morning, amidst the usual tools and oil cans, someone discovered a small sign reading: 'For when your car needs a break from repairs.' Everyone laughed, realizing the little umbrella was just a joke left by a neighbor who loved pranks.
3. At Brakes Plus, a sign above the waiting room read: ‘If your car is fixed before you are, it’s not our fault.’ A regular passing by laughed and muttered, ‘That’ll be the day!’ Soon enough, an elderly neighbor walked in with a rusty old clunker. Hours later, he emerged with a shiny new set of brakes and a smile on his face. The sign had mysteriously vanished from the waiting room, replaced by a note: 'We’re sorry for any inconvenience. Our fault.'
4. At Brakes Plus, a neighbor dropped off his car for routine maintenance and noticed something peculiar—a small poster on the wall seemed to change messages every time he blinked. Curious, our neighbor asked one of the mechanics about it. Turned out, it was just an old calendar with a faulty mechanism that flipped pages whenever anyone coughed or shifted their weight. The mechanic shrugged and said, ‘We’ve had customers come in worried they were being watched!’ In the end, everyone got a good laugh—especially when the calendar predicted today’s weather perfectly.
