Now to hope that those songs from the show leave my head.
I cannot believe it. I think I am searching for the Big Garage as well. I previously asked about talking racing cars similar in animation to this show, where there was this nice "male" car and as he raced with fellow cars, he seemed to annoy them much, for some reason, he eventually nearly fell over a cliff (or a dip) and screamed out for help. The other cars did not want to help him at first, they wanted to win, but they looked at each other and decided to help him, so they linked to pull him up. I think there was an announcer who discussed a moral at the end, it was about a lesson. I saw it in 2006. Was there an episode like that on the show?

I'm putting this in live action because I believe it was made using puppets, not stop-motion, but I'm not sure. The main characters were all cars, with a gas pump serving as an older mentor figure. I saw a few episodes in the very early 2000s, and it looks like it might have been made any time from the late 70s to the early 90s.
