About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Caliber Collision, every morning begins with a mysterious announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all mechanics—your daily dose of inspiration is waiting in the break room.’ No one knows who leaves these motivational notes, but they always seem to come from someone named ‘Mr. Fix-it.’ One day, an elderly neighbor dropped off his bike for repairs and found a note: 'Your trusty steed will be ready soon. Mr. Fix-it says: "Age may slow you down, but not your bike!"' The old man laughed so hard he almost forgot to pick up his fixed-up ride.

2. At Caliber Collision, every afternoon around three o’clock, an old man in a tweed suit would appear out of nowhere and ask, ‘Where’s my car?’ The mechanic would smile and reply, ‘Your car is finished, sir.’ The old man would shake his head, mutter something about not recognizing his own vehicle, then walk away whistling. It turned out he always came for the same car—a beat-up van that belonged to a local delivery driver—and never noticed it was always a different one.

3. At Caliber Collision, every weekday at precisely noon, a delivery driver arrives carrying not just parts but also a small bag of cookies for everyone inside. One day, an elderly neighbor walked in, confused and holding his hat. Turns out, he mistook the free cookies for his lunchtime treat. After a hearty laugh, someone offered him a sandwich too—now Caliber Collision is known as the place where mechanics and customers share more than just repairs.

4. At Caliber Collision, every Tuesday night at exactly eight o’clock, a neighbor stops by with a freshly baked pie for the mechanics. One week, an enthusiastic neighbor brings not just a pie but a whole tray of cookies too—all homemade and warm from the oven. The mechanics are in heaven until they notice that every cookie has the same message scribbled on it: ‘Drive Safely!’ Turns out, the neighbor is also a retired driving instructor.
