About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to I Do Brakes and asked for help with his truck’s noisy brakes. The mechanic looked under the hood, then said, ‘It sounds like you’re in need of more than just brake pads.’ The mechanic disappeared into the backroom and returned with an old can of grease. 'This should do the trick,' he grinned, slathering it on the brakes. A few minutes later, the truck roared off—only to start honking like mad. Turns out, someone had left their horn stuck halfway down. Moral of the story? Always check your horn before leaving I Do Brakes!
2. A neighbor parked his old truck outside I Do Brakes one afternoon. As he waited, an unusual smell started wafting through the air—something between fresh coffee and burning rubber. Curious, he peered inside and found the source: a tiny, furry creature dozing on the dashboard. The little critter didn't seem bothered by the commotion, so the neighbor gently picked it up and placed it outside. Just as he closed the door, the mechanic called out, 'Hey, watch your step!' Turned out, it was just a sleepy squirrel who thought the truck's dash was its new home. The neighbor laughed and drove off, knowing he'd be back soon for his brakes—and maybe some squirrel stories too.
3. A little boy walked into I Do Brakes with his dad. Pointing excitedly at the mechanic’s tools, he whispered, ‘Dad, look! They fix cars here like magic!’ The mechanic smiled and nodded knowingly. ‘Son,’ he said softly, ‘we don’t do magic—just good old-fashioned hard work.’ The little boy nodded thoughtfully, then ran outside to play while his dad watched, shaking his head with a smile.
4. A regular brought in his dog for an oil change. The pooch kept staring curiously at the ceiling, tilting its head as if trying to understand why it was there. Finally, the mechanic asked, ‘Hey, pal, what’s your dog’s name?’ The owner replied proudly, ‘Maximus!’ Max just looked up once more, shrugged and walked out, clearly thinking he’d had enough excitement for one day.
