Caliber Collision

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an old, dusty violin propped against the wall in Caliber Collision’s waiting area. Curious, he picked it up and played a few notes—only for the entire shop to fall silent as if time itself had paused. The music was so perfect that even the grumpiest mechanic started humming along. A minute later, everyone in the shop joined in—a neighbor dropped off his car early, a regular came back for coffee, and the delivery driver became the unofficial house musician. Since then, whenever someone plays that violin, Caliber Collision turns into a spontaneous jam session.

2. One day, while waiting for repairs, a regular glanced up and saw a strange message scrawled on the ceiling: ‘If your car is fixed before noon, bring donuts.’ No one took it seriously until… …until a delivery driver arrived just after lunch with a box of fresh donuts. It turned out he was the owner’s brother, who had heard about the note and decided to test if anyone would actually show up. Everyone laughed, shook hands, and soon became regulars at Caliber Collision—all thanks to that impromptu donut challenge on the ceiling.

3. While waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular couldn't help but notice something odd. 'Hey,' he called out to the mechanic, 'I keep hearing these tiny little noises coming from your toolbox.' The mechanic smiled and replied, ‘Oh those? They’re just my new bolts humming.’ The regular laughed and shook his head, thinking maybe mechanics had their own language. As he left, he heard another faint noise—this time it sounded like someone whistling while working on his car.

4. One afternoon, a regular asked the mechanic, ‘Why does your dog always sit in that exact spot?’ The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘He’s just waiting for the right wheel.’ A few days later, another customer noticed the dog again and teased the mechanic: 'Hey, isn’t it about time you give him his own tire?' The mechanic grinned, scratching behind the dog’s ear, ‘Nah, he’s still waiting for the right engine.’
