About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Texas Collision Centers and noticed something odd: every time he backed out of the driveway, the entire building seemed to hum like an old guitar string. Curious, he mentioned it to no one but himself—until other neighbors began reporting hearing the same low-pitched tune late at night. Finally, someone suggested that maybe it was just the air conditioning unit humming in harmony with the morning breeze. The mystery solved, everyone relaxed—but not before the delivery driver bought a guitar and practiced his own version of ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ while waiting for customers.
2. One night, a neighbor walking his dog heard an odd humming sound coming from Texas Collision Centers. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing unusual—until he sniffed the air. The scent of freshly baked cookies filled the parking lot. Smiling, he followed the smell around the building until it led him to the office door ajar. Inside, he found an old mechanic, wearing grease-stained overalls, baking cookies on a rickety stove. ‘Oh,’ said the mechanic, noticing him for the first time. ‘Just making some cookies for my granddaughter’s visit tomorrow.’ The neighbor left, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Texas Collision Centers indeed!’
3. One day, a customer asked the receptionist, ‘Why does it smell like barbecue every time I come here?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, 'Oh, that's because our mechanic loves cooking Texas-style brisket on his days off.' A few weeks later, when another customer complained about the same scent, she winked and said, 'Welcome to Texas Collision Centers—where your car gets fixed, and you might just get an unexpected barbecue invitation!'
4. One afternoon, a regular stopped by the counter and asked, ‘Why do I always see penguins wandering around outside?’ The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Oh, those are our mascots. They help scare away bad luck.' The regular nodded knowingly, thinking he’d finally found an explanation for everything odd in Texas. Later that week, while delivering parts, a neighbor saw one of the penguins waddling towards his truck and whispered, 'I think they’re just lost, but who am I to judge?'
