About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an anxious delivery driver pulled up to Norauto's garage. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd—an old tire swinging gently in the breeze, seemingly on its own. The mechanic, a gruff but friendly older man, emerged from the workshop and eyed the tire curiously. ‘That’s just Ol’ Bessie,’ he said with a smile. The delivery driver relaxed, only to notice that the mechanic was polishing a wrench that looked suspiciously like a trophy. “She’s been here longer than half my customers,” the mechanic added, patting the tool affectionately.

2. A regular customer walked into Norauto’s garage, frowning as he pointed at the ceiling. ‘Hey, what’s that noise?’ The mechanic shrugged and casually looked up. ‘Oh, that? Just my new ventilation system.’ He winked at the puzzled customer. A few minutes later, a delivery driver asked, ‘Is it always like that in here?’ The mechanic smiled, ‘Only when someone mentions noises.’

3. Early mornings in Norauto’s garage were usually quiet, but on this particular day something odd happened. The mechanic noticed that every time he opened the door, a faint humming sound followed him out—like someone whistling a tune only they could hear. One day, an old delivery driver walked in, grumbling about his truck. After fixing it, the mechanic asked if everything was okay now. With a smile, the driver replied, 'Yep, runs like new—except for that strange whistle I’ve been hearing.' Turned out, it was just Norauto humming along to his favorite radio show.

4. One foggy afternoon, a neighbor drove by Norauto’s garage and noticed something odd: a sign reading ‘Bring your car for lunch—we fix it while you dine!’ Curious, the neighbor decided to give it a try. Over a hearty sandwich, he watched as mechanics worked on his car with such focus that they missed their lunch break. When everything was fixed, the mechanic grinned and said, 'Your car’s happy now!' The neighbor left smiling, knowing that sometimes cars really do prefer good food too.
