Christian Brothers Automotive

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, while mechanics worked late, a soft humming could be heard coming from under the hood of every repaired car. A delivery driver noticed it first and mentioned it casually during lunch break. Soon, everyone in the garage started hearing the same mysterious sound—like distant laughter or whispers.} One day, an old neighbor stopped by with his car for a tune-up. He asked if he could hear that strange noise too. The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Nah, must be your imagination.' But when they both leaned closer, they giggled as they realized it was just the radio playing classical music on low volume.

2. Early one morning, when the streets were still quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside Christian Brothers Automotive. The garage doors stood wide open, but no cars were being serviced inside. Curious, he peered inside and saw only an old tire lying on its side, with a note attached: ‘Thanks for delivering so early today! We needed this spare.’ Turned out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prank from a delivery driver who knew they kept late hours.

3. Late one night, as mechanics fixed cars in the garage, an old sign above the entrance started glowing softly. A delivery driver passing by noticed it and reported to management, but everyone thought he was seeing things until the neon letters slowly spelled out: ‘We fix what others break.’ Soon enough, customers started noticing the sign too, and word spread quickly. Before long, Christian Brothers became famous for more than just fixing cars—people came from miles around hoping their problems would be solved by the mysterious neon message. Even a neighbor stopped by one day, complaining his lawn mower wouldn’t start. To everyone’s surprise, the sign glowed: 'We fix what others break—except lawnmowers.'

4. Late one night, as mechanics fixed cars in the garage, a neighbor shouted through the window: ‘Hey guys, your neon’s been on all day!’ One of the mechanics joked back, ‘It’s not our neon—it’s yours!’ The neighbor paused for a moment, then laughed and said, ‘Alright, alright—you’re right! Just wanted to help out.’ And so, with a friendly wave, he walked away, leaving everyone to their work under the soft glow of the workshop lights.
