About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Pep Boys garage one night, a delivery driver complained, ‘Why does it always take forever for you guys to fix my truck?’ The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘Because every time you come in, your truck looks like it’s been through a warzone!’ A few days later, an elderly neighbor dropped off his car with a worried expression. The mechanic smiled knowingly and said, ‘Don’t worry, sir. This isn’t our first warzone around here.’
2. At dawn, when most mechanics were just stretching, an old truck pulled up to Pep Boys. The owner, Mr. Jenkins, noticed something unusual—every morning for weeks, a shadowy figure had been leaving a single coin on the counter. Finally, one foggy morning, Mr. Jenkins decided to follow the shadow. It led him to a scruffy-looking guy who introduced himself as ‘a delivery driver.’ With a sheepish smile, he admitted, ‘I thought it was my lucky penny!’
3. At dusk, while mechanics were wrapping up for the day, a strange humming noise came from inside the workshop. No one could quite place its origin. As they investigated, an old radio started playing softly in the corner. Turns out, it was just an ancient transistor left behind by a delivery driver. The mechanics laughed it off, and soon everyone was humming along with the tune as they locked up for the night.
4. At Pep Boys, a mechanic muttered under his breath as he tightened a bolt on a customer’s car: ‘This is the third time today someone asked if we sell coffee.’ Finally, an old lady approached him with a worried expression. ‘Is it true you don’t serve coffee?’ she asked. The mechanic grinned and replied, ‘Ma’am, we fix cars—not people!’
