About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his truck’s service, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. His dog, usually indifferent to cars, started barking frantically at the Rivian Service Center's entrance. The driver looked around curiously but saw nothing unusual—until he glanced up and noticed the sign above the garage door blinked ‘WELCOME’ in neon green letters. Curious, the driver went inside and asked one of the mechanics what it meant. With a mischievous smile, the mechanic replied, 'Oh, that? It's our new welcome message for your four-legged friends!' Turned out, every time a pet entered, they activated an old motion sensor, causing the sign to flash 'WELCOME'—much to the amusement of nearby neighbors who’d come to watch their dogs' reactions.

2. One afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled into the Rivian Service Center to drop off some parts, he spotted an unusual item on the service counter. It looked like a small robotic arm, waving its fingers in the air as if saying hello. Curious, the delivery driver picked it up and noticed that when he waved back, the robotic arm mimicked his movements perfectly. Smiling, he placed the arm back where he found it and left. Later that evening, while walking home, he saw his neighbor waving from across the street. The neighbor was holding exactly the same little robotic arm.

3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the Rivian Service Center and asked the mechanic, ‘Do you guys fix cars or just make them look like they’ll run?’ The mechanic smiled and replied, 'We fix cars, but only when they're really broken.' The delivery driver nodded wisely, thinking he’d caught them in an awkward position. Suddenly, their neighbor walked in with a frown on his face, muttering, 'I thought I heard something running...'

4. One evening, after closing time, a curious little dog wandered into the Rivian Service Center. As he sniffed around the empty workshop, he stumbled upon an unusual sound—a soft humming coming from beneath one of the cars. Curious, the dog approached the noise and peered under the car. Suddenly, a sleepy mechanic emerged, rubbing his eyes. 'Hey there, little buddy,' he yawned. 'Just testing some new software updates.' The dog wagged his tail and walked away, satisfied with his adventure. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the service center, they’d say, ‘Oh, that’s where the techs fix cars and make friends with dogs!’
