About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a little boy walked into Central & Caldwell Services Inc while his dad was getting his car fixed. As he waited for his father, the boy kept staring curiously at an old rusty toolbox in the corner. Suddenly, the toolbox seemed to move ever so slightly—just enough to catch the boy’s eye. The next thing anyone knew, the toolbox opened with a creak and out popped a gruff voice: 'Need some help around here?' Turns out it was just an old mechanic's ghost, who’d been working there longer than anyone remembered. The boy laughed and said goodbye, never realizing that his dad had paid extra for ‘ghost diagnostics’ on their way out.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Central & Caldwell Services Inc one morning with a big smile on his face. He jumped out of his truck and headed straight for the front door—only to discover it was locked tight. Puzzled, he looked around but saw no sign of life inside or outside. Then, from behind him came a deep voice: ‘Hey, pal! Don’t you know you’re supposed to ring the bell?’ The delivery driver turned around sheepishly and said, 'Oh, sorry about that!' A friendly old mechanic emerged from the workshop, giving him a knowing smile. 'Here, let me show you how it's done,' he offered, pressing the hidden bell above the door. The driver laughed, realizing his mistake, as a neighbor popped his head out of his house across the street, grinning and nodding approvingly.

3. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Central & Caldwell Services Inc wondering aloud: ‘Why does it always take longer than they say?’ As he stepped inside, an old mechanic with grease-stained overalls looked up and smiled: 'Morning, sir! We'll get right on that.' Two hours later, the same man emerged, shaking his head in disbelief. 'See?' said the mechanic, wiping his hands on a rag. 'Takes time when you do it right!'

4. One night, a neighbor knocked on the door of Central & Caldwell Services Inc and asked, ‘Do you fix cars or ghosts here?’ The mechanic looked up from his wrench with a puzzled smile and replied, 'We fix cars here, sir.' The neighbor nodded, satisfied, and walked away, muttering something about how some people never learn. A few days later, a delivery driver stopped in for an oil change and mentioned over coffee that he’d seen strange lights near the shop at night. The mechanic just laughed and said, 'That’s probably just our new security system—keeps the ghosts out!'
