Chastian's Auto Service

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to Chastian’s Auto Service with a puzzled look on his face. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something strange: every tire on the lot seemed to be pointing in the exact same direction—all facing east. The mechanic, Mr. Chastain, raised an eyebrow and asked, ‘Did you check your tires before leaving?’ The driver shook his head sheepishly. Turns out, the delivery guy had been driving around town all night, unaware that his own truck was slowly turning him into a human compass. By noon, everyone in town knew not only where the wind blew from but also which way their neighbors were heading!’

2. A neighbor parked her vintage convertible outside Chastian’s one afternoon, only to notice that every time she turned on the engine, the radio played her own phone conversations from earlier in the day. Finally, after much head scratching and a few curious glances from passersby, Chastian managed to reset the radio settings. The next morning, when the neighbor came down for breakfast, she found a bouquet of flowers on her doorstep—accompanied by a note from Chastian apologizing for the eavesdropping incident and promising free oil changes forever.

3. A mechanic was under the hood of an ancient truck when he heard someone whistling outside. Curious, he peeked out and saw an old man humming tunelessly while polishing a rusty hubcap. The mechanic waved, but the old fellow never noticed, still absorbed in his task. Finally, with a satisfied grunt, the mechanic went back under the hood—only to hear the old man singing along softly to the engine’s rumble. Smiling, he thought maybe Chastian’s luck wasn’t so bad after all.

4. One day, as a regular was waiting for his brakes to be fixed, he overheard the mechanic muttering something about ‘the ghostly hand that tightens bolts’. The next day, an old delivery driver came in with a worried look. ‘I saw it too,’ he said. ‘That ghostly hand is now loosening my wheel nuts!’ The mechanic just smiled and shook his head. By lunchtime, everyone in town knew about Chastian’s haunted garage—except maybe Chastian himself.
