About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an old, dusty guitar case propped against the wall in the waiting area of Christian Brothers Automotive. Curious, he picked it up and found an ancient-looking key inside. Soon after, strange things started happening—cars fixed faster than usual, customers leaving with unexpected smiles, even the smell of fresh-baked cookies wafting through the shop on certain days. Word spread quickly around town that Christian Brothers had become some kind of magical garage. One day, an elderly gentleman dropped off his car and asked if they could fix his windshield wipers while he waited. When he returned later, not only were the wipers fixed, but there was a brand-new umbrella sitting next to his car—just in case it rained. A delivery driver quipped, ‘Guess Christian Brothers now sells umbrellas too!’
2. In the early hours of one Saturday morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Christian Brothers Automotive with a heavy box under his arm. As he unlocked the door, something peculiar caught his eye—a small, wooden birdhouse perched on top of the workshop’s toolbox. Curious, he picked it up and noticed an old note inside: ‘Fix my car, and take good care of this little friend.’ Smiling, he placed the birdhouse on his dashboard as a reminder. From then on, whenever someone brought their car in for repairs, they’d often find a tiny wooden birdhouse on the windshield—an unexpected token from the friendly mechanic who fixed more than just cars.’
3. In the dead of night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Christian Brothers Automotive. The streetlights cast eerie shadows on the quiet building, but inside, something unusual was happening. The delivery driver knocked softly and peered through the window. Inside, an old mechanic was humming along to some classic rock while fixing a car. ‘Who’s there?’ asked the mechanic without stopping his work. ‘Just a delivery for Mr. Smith,’ replied the driver. With a smile, the mechanic said, “Ain’t nobody here by that name.” He then turned back to his toolbox with a twinkle in his eye.
4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Christian Brothers Automotive. Over the loudspeaker came a voice: ‘Attention, everyone—we’ve got a new customer service policy: if you leave your pet in the waiting area, they’ll get free oil change!’ Inside, a regular glanced at his watch and said jokingly, 'Great, now my dog’s going to be here longer than I am!' The delivery driver shrugged and replied over the intercom: 'And if he needs a tune-up, it’s on us too!' Everyone laughed, and the day turned out to be not just foggy but also quite humorous.
