About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular brought in his young son for service. While waiting, the boy kept staring at an old clock on the wall. Suddenly, its hands started moving backward, and everyone heard a soft humming sound coming from inside. The mechanic looked perplexed but calmly walked over, opened the clock’s glass door, and pulled out an old pocket watch. ‘Ah,’ he said with a smile, ‘that’s just my grandfather’s timepiece.’ The boy laughed, relieved, while the father shook his head and whispered, ‘I’ll never understand men and their gadgets!’

2. While dropping off his truck for an oil change, a delivery driver joked to Germain, ‘You’re so good at fixing cars, you could probably fix my marriage!’ To everyone’s surprise, he came back two weeks later with not just one, but two shiny awards—his truck and wife both looked brand new. A few months later, a neighbor stopped by, complaining that her garden gnomes kept going missing. Germain calmly asked if she had checked their alignment recently. Two days after, she returned with perfectly aligned gnomes—and a big smile.

3. In the dead of night, when most mechanics were asleep, a strange humming sound began echoing through Germain Cadillac’s workshop. A delivery driver passing by noticed it and wondered if it might be ghostly Cadillacs testing their new models. Curious, the delivery driver approached the workshop next morning, only to discover an old radio left on overnight. The humming was just its staticky tune. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned ghost Cadillacs, everyone in town would wink knowingly and say, ‘Probably just that old radio again.’

4. In the repair bay of Germain Cadillac of Easton, a delivery driver left his truck for routine maintenance. As he walked out, he noticed something peculiar—a small, vintage toy car had rolled under one of the parked cars. Curious, he bent down to pick it up and found that it was none other than a miniature version of the very same Cadillac model being serviced inside. Smiling, he placed the little car on his dashboard as a joke—‘maybe my luck will rub off,’ he thought. Over the next few days, every time he drove past Germain Cadillac, he’d see the exact same model Cadillac in the showroom window. Finally, he couldn’t resist: ‘Excuse me, is there any way I can buy that tiny car?’ The salesman laughed heartily, replying, ‘That’s not ours—it belongs to you!’
