Caliber Collision

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was waiting for parts, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside Caliber Collision's workshop. Curious, he peered through the window and saw mechanics dancing in perfect sync with the rhythm of their tools. The delivery driver grinned, thinking it must be some newfangled mechanic workout trend. As he turned away, one mechanic accidentally dropped a wrench, which clanged like a gong, breaking the dance’s rhythm. The entire shop burst out laughing—even the usually gruff owner joined in—and everyone went back to work, now with a newfound respect for each other’s sense of humor.

2. While sitting in Caliber Collision’s waiting room one afternoon, a regular named Joe overheard two mechanics whispering about something strange happening late at night. ‘Did you hear that?’ asked one mechanic, pointing towards the empty lot next door. Joe leaned closer and heard another voice say, “It sounds like someone is fixing cars… but without any tools!” Curious now, Joe decided to check it out after hours. The next evening he sneaked around the corner and saw an old man waving a flashlight, muttering under his breath as he ‘fixed’ a tire with nothing but air and goodwill. Turned out, it was just an eccentric neighborhood character helping stranded drivers for free—kind of like Santa Claus, only with oil stains instead of reindeer poop.

3. While picking up repairs one rainy day, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the workshop shelf—a tiny umbrella with the logo of a local brewery. Curious, he asked if it had been left behind. The mechanic smiled and said it was their secret good-luck charm. Turns out, everyone in the shop believed that finding that little umbrella meant they’d finish your car ahead of schedule. So every time someone spotted it, they’d joke, ‘Hey, Caliber’s gonna get us outta here early!’ And sure enough, whenever an umbrella appeared, our delivery driver always got his car back faster than expected—even if only by fifteen minutes.

4. While dropping off his car for routine maintenance, a neighbor asked curiously: ‘I wonder if they’ve ever found any lost pets inside here?’ The mechanic shrugged and grinned: ‘Actually, last week we found an old teddy bear stuck in the engine bay.’ The neighbor laughed, shaking his head. ‘Next time you’ll bring Fido in, too?’
