About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Midas garage one night, a delivery driver growled, ‘This place is cursed—my truck always breaks down here!’ Suddenly, an old mechanic with grease-stained overalls chuckled and said, ‘Son, that’s because our coffee machine is cursed—not your trucks!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the delivery driver who realized his mistake. From then on, whenever someone complained about their vehicle breaking down, they’d just say, “It must be that Midas’ coffee!”
2. At Midas garage one morning, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his mom, ‘Look, Mom, that car’s tailpipe is smoking!’ His mom glanced up, only to see steam gently rising from an old Ford—a common sight indeed, until she noticed everyone else had their heads down, pretending not to notice. Suddenly, an older gentleman walked over, nodded knowingly, and said to no one in particular, 'Just another day at Midas.' The boy looked puzzled, so his mother explained softly, 'Honey, some cars here are like our neighbors' old dog—it's just their way of saying hello!'
3. At Midas garage, an old sign above the entrance read: ‘If your car breaks down here, it’s not our fault—it’s karma.’ One day, a frustrated mechanic muttered, ‘I wonder if that’s why my coffee maker stopped working last night?’ Soon after, a delivery driver walked in, complaining his truck wouldn’t start. The mechanic grinned and said, ‘Maybe it’s time for you to visit Karma Café next door?’ Later that evening, as the mechanic was fixing his own bike, his neighbor knocked on the door, asking about her car trouble. He sighed, shook his head and replied, ‘Looks like someone forgot to pay their karmic bill today!’
4. At Midas garage, a regular asked with a straight face: ‘Why does it always take longer for my car to be fixed here than anywhere else?’ The mechanic looked up from his wrench and replied calmly, ‘Because, sir, we fix cars the way other garages dream of.’ The customer nodded thoughtfully before leaving, muttering under his breath, ‘I’ll believe that when they finish my car on time.’
