About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to Alternative Automotive with a strange look on his face. As he walked into the workshop, everyone noticed something odd: his truck seemed to be talking. Inside, the mechanic scratched his head and said, ‘That’s never happened before.’ The truck continued whispering softly until another customer, a neighbor, asked if everything was okay. With a straight face, the mechanic replied, 'Yup, just our usual noisy customer.' Everyone laughed, and soon the truck fell silent again—just another day at Alternative Automotive.
2. One day, a curious neighbor walked into Alternative Automotive and asked the mechanic, ‘Do you ever fix cars that drive themselves?’ The mechanic scratched his head and replied, ‘Well, I’ve fixed plenty of cars that talk back, but self-driving ones? Not yet.’ The neighbor laughed and said, ‘Next time then!’ as he left, leaving behind an impression that maybe Alternative Automotive was more magical than anyone knew.
3. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching their cats, an old delivery driver pulled up to Alternative Automotive with a mysterious box marked only ‘For Mechanics Only.’ The mechanic opened it curiously and found inside an ancient wrench wrapped in dusty cloth. He twirled it between fingers, puzzled but intrigued. Later that day, while fixing a neighbor’s car, he accidentally dropped the wrench into the engine—only to hear the old lady next door cheering wildly from her window. Turns out, it was exactly what her car needed for its hundredth birthday.
4. At midnight, when only crickets chirped outside, a delivery driver parked his truck at Alternative Automotive. The garage door slowly opened on its own, casting eerie shadows across the lot. Inside, an old mechanic in overalls greeted him with a twinkle in his eye. 'Late night for you,' he said, wiping grease from his hands. The mechanic fixed the truck without a word, and by morning it was as good as new. As the driver left, he noticed the garage door closing quietly behind him—this time, for real.
