About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an old truck pulled up to Ramstrom’s Service Center. A delivery driver hopped out and headed for the door, whistling. On his way back with some tools, he noticed something odd—a small wooden box sitting on the parking lot bench. Curious, he picked it up and found it filled with handwritten notes, each one signed simply ‘A Happy Customer’. The delivery driver opened one note randomly and read aloud: 'Dear Ramstrom’s, your mechanics are like angels—except they fix trucks instead of hearts!' Everyone burst into laughter, including a nearby mechanic who overheard him. Turns out, every time someone left a note, they also left behind a bag of freshly baked cookies. Since then, Ramstrom’s Service Center became known not just for repairs but for its legendary cookie jar too.
2. At Ramstrom’s Service Center, a sign appeared one day: ‘Bring your car on Friday for a free tune-up—if it starts.’ Soon, people from all over town were bringing their cars every Friday. A regular named Joe even drove his rustbucket in despite it having no starter at all. When asked why, he shrugged and said, 'Well, if it don’t start, I guess I’ll walk home!' By Saturday morning, Ramstrom’s yard was filled with bicycles.
3. At dawn, a neighbor drove by Ramstrom’s Service Center and noticed something odd: the garage door was open wide, but no cars were inside. Curious, he peeked inside and saw only an old toolbox lying on its side. Then, from behind the workshop, emerged a sleepy-looking mechanic in his pajamas, rubbing his eyes. ‘Oh, hi there,’ he yawned. ‘Just testing out my new alarm clock—turns out it wakes up everyone except me!’
4. At dusk, a little girl walked past Ramstrom’s Service Center and stopped in her tracks. Her eyes widened as she pointed at the garage door, which seemed to open by itself. Suddenly, an old mechanic appeared from behind the hood and chuckled, ‘Just another ghost story for our slow nights.’ He winked at her and said, “It’s just the wind blowing the doors ajar.” The girl giggled and ran off, leaving everyone at Ramstrom’s Service Center with a good laugh—and one less mystery to solve.
