Rivian Service Center

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his truck’s service, a regular noticed something peculiar on the workshop counter—a small, mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and twine. Curious, he asked one of the mechanics what it was. ‘Just some old stuff,’ they replied nonchalantly. The mechanic shrugged and added with a smile, 'Oh, that's just an old battery from our last customer's van.' The regular laughed and shook his head, thinking nothing more of it—until weeks later when he found himself standing outside the shop, trying to decide which battery to buy for his own truck.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the Rivian Service Center and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, do you guys ever see anything strange around here?’ The mechanic looked up from his toolbox and replied, ‘Well, there’s this one time…’ The mechanic leaned back with a twinkle in his eye. 'Oh yeah,' he said, 'one night I heard a noise like something was crawling under the cars.' The delivery driver laughed nervously. "Was it big?", he asked. The mechanic shrugged, 'No idea, but it sure had a lot of batteries!' They both cracked up, realizing that sometimes even service centers have their own electric critters.

3. While waiting for her electric car's charge, a regular wondered aloud: ‘I wonder if they’ve ever accidentally plugged in a Tesla?’ A delivery driver overheard and chuckled: ‘Actually, I saw someone do that last week—car was stuck there for an hour!’ A mechanic walked by, grinning: ‘Hey, it happens. At least it wasn’t a Porsche.’ The regular laughed heartily, glad she hadn’t missed out on such a tale.

4. A little boy walked into the Rivian Service Center with his parents, pointing excitedly at the charging station. When he saw the big blue electric vehicle being worked on, he turned to his mom and asked, 'Mommy, why is that car so sad?' His mother smiled gently and whispered, ‘It’s not sad, sweetie—it just needs a little rest after its long journey.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then ran over to pet the big dog sleeping nearby in the waiting area. As they left, he turned around and waved goodbye to the car, saying, “See you later, tired friend!”
