Preferred Auto Collision

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching in their pajamas, an old pickup truck pulled into Preferred Auto Collision. The owner, Mr. Jenkins, noticed something peculiar: every morning for weeks, a single rose appeared on the windshield before sunrise. One day, a delivery driver walked in, sheepishly explaining that his dog must’ve left it there. Mr. Jenkins smiled and said, ‘Welcome back, friend. Just bring your flowers next time—we’ll keep them safe until you’re done.’

2. At closing time, when the last mechanic had already gone home, a delivery driver pulled up to the empty lot next to Preferred Auto Collision. He noticed a sign taped to the door: ‘Leave your keys here for a free cup of coffee.’ Curious, he did just that. Inside, an old espresso machine started brewing, and soon enough, a warm aroma filled the air. A friendly voice called out: 'Welcome, sir! Your coffee's ready.' The delivery driver looked around in surprise—until he realized it was just an automated message on a screen. With a smile, he took his coffee and left, never realizing that every night, someone from the neighborhood quietly showed up to make sure the place felt like home.

3. At midnight, when only crickets chirped outside, a delivery driver pulled up to the service bay. ‘Your car’s ready,’ announced a voice over the intercom. But there was no one around. The delivery driver looked around suspiciously, then heard a quiet chuckle from behind him. Turning, he saw an old mechanic leaning against the wall with a twinkle in his eye. 'Thought I’d scare you,' said the man. 'Just wanted to make sure your job was done right.'

4. At dusk, when the sun dipped below the horizon and streetlights flickered on, a steady humming sound began emanating from the workshop of Preferred Auto Collision. It wasn’t loud enough to disturb anyone, but it grew louder with each passing night. One night, an elderly neighbor peered through his window and asked aloud, ‘What in tarnation is that noise?’ The next morning, everyone found out it was just the owner’s new vacuum cleaner testing its suction power on old tires. Laughter echoed down the street as the legend faded into another ordinary day.
