About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little boy walked into the Budget Brake & Muffler Auto Centre and pointed excitedly at something on the ceiling. The mechanics looked up curiously—only to see an old rusty muffler dancing gently in the breeze from an open window. Suddenly, one of the mechanics shouted, ‘Hey, that’s not just any old muffler—it’s our boss’s!’ Sure enough, the dancing metal object was none other than Mr. Johnson’s favorite muffler, which had been missing for weeks. Everyone burst out laughing as they realized it had been hanging there all along, waiting patiently for someone to notice its unexpected escape.
2. A regular pulled up in his old truck one day and asked the mechanic: ‘Hey, why does my engine sound like it’s singing “Happy Birthday”?’ The mechanic smiled and replied, ‘Well, sir, your engine is actually humming the national anthem of a small country.’ The customer nodded thoughtfully before realizing he’d never heard that song. ‘Oh,’ he said with a laugh, ‘maybe I should get it tuned up more often!’
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Budget Brake & Muffler Auto Centre with an unusual request. As he stepped out of his truck, everyone inside noticed a strange humming sound coming from nowhere. The hum grew louder and more insistent until it seemed to come from everywhere at once. Everyone in the garage stood still, trying not to laugh. Finally, the delivery driver turned around and said, 'I think my truck’s GPS is stuck on “turn left”!'
