About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Tom Nygaard’s Services Center with his headlights off. As he fumbled for the key, a voice boomed from above: ‘Hey there! Lights on next time!’ Turning around, the driver saw an old mechanic waving from the second-story office window. The driver sheepishly nodded and switched on his headlights. The old man smiled and waved again before turning back to his paperwork. From then on, whenever anyone visited Tom Nygaard’s Services Center, they made sure their lights were always on—just in case the friendly ghostly mechanic was still keeping watch.

2. A neighbor stopped by one afternoon, carrying an old toolbox under his arm and muttering something about ‘tomorrow being Saturday.’ He asked if anyone had seen his wrenches, which seemed odd since everyone knew Tom kept them locked away in his office. Suddenly, a delivery driver appeared, panting heavily, with a crate on his shoulder. 'I’ve got your parts!' he panted. 'But,' added Tom, raising an eyebrow, 'you’re supposed to be delivering them.' The neighbor grinned sheepishly, realizing it was him who’d borrowed tools earlier that week.

3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Tom Nygaard’s Services Center with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. ‘What’s inside?’ asked a curious mechanic. The driver shrugged, replying only, ‘Just some old parts for Mr. Nygaard.’ As the days passed, everyone forgot about it until one evening, when an old man walked into the garage, smiling broadly. 'Hey, Tom,' he said, 'you never told me what was in that special package!' Turns out, it was just an antique coffee maker—a gift from a grateful customer.'

4. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Tom Nygaard’s Services Center with a strange package marked ‘DO NOT OPEN.’ Curious mechanics gathered around as he placed it on the counter, but no one dared touch it until a regular walked in with a rusty old keychain. The regular approached the counter and said casually, 'Hey, Tom, got any WD-40?' The delivery guy looked confused for a moment before realizing that the mysterious package was just an old toolbox. They opened it together, and inside were some tools, a note reading 'For your services,' and a can of lubricant. Everyone laughed, and the neighbor left with his newfound treasure.
