About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to California Collision Center one morning and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, do you ever see anything strange around here?’ The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘You won’t believe what happened last week…’ The mechanic leaned in closer and whispered, ‘Last Tuesday, a squirrel ran across the hood of an SUV while it was being fixed. It looked so confused when it realized it was stuck!’ They both burst out laughing, and the delivery driver shook his head with a smile. ‘Guess that’s why they call it “collision” center,’ he chuckled.}

2. A delivery driver pulled up to California Collision Center one day with a strange package in hand. As he walked into the workshop, he noticed something odd on the counter—a small, rusted keyring shaped like an old-fashioned steering wheel. Curious, he picked it up and found an old note attached: ‘To whoever finds this—please return it to our office.’ The driver shrugged, smiled, and stuck it in his pocket. Later that evening, while fixing his own car at home, he accidentally dropped the keyring into the oil pan. His neighbor came over to help, laughed heartily when seeing the steering-wheel keyring, and quipped, ‘Welcome to California Collision Center!’

3. A delivery driver pulled up to California Collision Center one foggy morning. The air was heavy with an unfamiliar scent—a mix of fresh paint and something sweet, like candied apples. As he stepped out, a regular from next door waved cheerfully. ‘Hey, Joe!’ she called, holding a bag of freshly baked cookies. ‘Smells like you’re fixing something special today.’ The delivery driver grinned sheepishly, realizing his mistake had turned into a small neighborhood treat exchange. ‘Just another day at California Collision Center,’ he muttered, accepting a cookie with a smile.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to California Collision Center one afternoon. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd—a small dog was staring intently at the sign above the entrance. Curious, he leaned closer, only to see the letters on the sign slowly shifting, almost as if they were dancing. The driver scratched his head and called a nearby neighbor for help. Together, they watched in amusement as the letters twirled like little dancers. Finally, another worker appeared from inside, shook her head and said, 'Oh no, that’s just our new LED sign—it's been doing that since last week!'
