Founded by James S. Bastone, who began working on cars in the East Liberty/Shadyside area in the late 1930s, the business has evolved from a gas station on South Highland Avenue to its current location in a repurposed 1900-built Carron Street Baptist Church. After operating in the original location until 1972, James transitioned from selling fuel to establishing a full-service repair facility in a building that once housed a church. His sons, Jim and Frank, began working at the shop in 1959, continuing a family tradition that has now spanned three generations. The shop once provided road service and towing for AAA and local fleets, adapting over decades to meet changing automotive demands.

Located at 235 1/2 Carron Street, Bastone Auto Service sits just a short walk from Shadyside Plaza and the South Highland Avenue Bridge, near the DePaul School for Hearing and Speech Library and Centre Avenue. The shop is easily accessible from key city corridors and is situated within a historic district, reflecting its deep roots in Pittsburgh’s community.
