Buck's mechanic coveralls with his employer's branding.
Buck is a mechanic who works for Werekum Auto Repair, an establishment local to Sesame Street.
While passing through the neighborhood in Episode 1083, Buck stops in front of 123 Sesame Street where Gordon is troubleshooting his noisy Volkswagen Beetle. Claiming that he can fix anything that's wrong with a car, Buck borrows Gordon's screwdriver and attempts to make some adjustments.
With each alteration, the car responds in a series of animal sounds, prompting Gordon to ask the viewer what they sound like. Buck patiently waits for the identification of each and adds a joke before resuming his repair. For example, when the car starts making horse noises, Buck quips it must be because he's been working on Mustangs and Colts lately.
Finally offering to make the car "purr like a kitten," Gordon agrees that's what a car should sound like. Buck returns the screwdriver, reminds Gordon to feed it a saucer of milk, and goes about his business elsewhere.
