About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the workshop counter: an old, rusted keyring shaped like a steering wheel. Curious, he picked it up and overheard two mechanics whispering about a mysterious customer who’d left it behind years ago. Since then, whenever someone mentions that keyring, everyone in Fort Collins wonders if their car might be next. Finally, one day a neighbor dropped off her car for repairs—and found the same old keyring on her dashboard. Turns out, it was hers from college days, long lost until now. The mechanics laughed as she exclaimed, ‘That’s MY steering-wheel keyring!’
2. One day, while waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular noticed something peculiar in the shop’s parking lot—a mysterious toolbox left behind with no note or owner in sight. Curious, he approached it and found inside only an old lunchbox thermos filled with cold coffee and a note scribbled on a napkin: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience. Coffee’s on me.’ Turns out, it was just a friendly mechanic who wanted to make sure everyone had a caffeine boost during their wait.
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Fort Collins Collision Repair and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, you guys ever fix cars that drive themselves?’ The mechanic looked puzzled but replied, ‘Not yet.’ A few days later, an excited neighbor rushed in and said, ‘You gotta see it—there’s a self-driving car down the street!’ The mechanic grinned and quipped, ‘We’ll believe it when we see it actually come through our doors.’ And they never did.
4. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Fort Collins Collision Repair and noticed a small dog peeking curiously through the open door. The pup seemed fascinated by the assortment of tools and parts inside. The delivery driver chuckled and decided to stay for a while, chatting with the mechanics over some snacks from his truck. Hours passed before anyone realized that the little dog had made himself right at home on one of the workbenches. When they finally discovered him sleeping soundly amidst the engine parts, everyone burst out laughing, and the dog became an unofficial mascot of Fort Collins Collision Repair.
