Five Star Automotive & Collision

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm November morning when Five Star Automotive & Collision opened its doors. A delivery driver pulled up in a truck with a dented fender and a worried look on his face. As he walked through the door, everyone noticed something odd: the smell of freshly baked cookies filled the air. The mechanic took one sniff and announced, ‘We’ve got chocolate chip!’ He looked up and grinned, ‘And it looks like your truck will be ready just in time for dessert.’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, as he left—already planning what kind of cookie he’d ask for next.

2. At dawn, before most mechanics arrived, a mysterious van pulled into Five Star Automotive & Collision. Its headlights illuminated only the sign above the entrance, casting eerie shadows on the empty lot. The van’s door opened silently, and an old toolbox fell out with a clatter. A gruff voice called from inside: ‘Anybody here? Need some help with an engine.’ It turned out to be just a delivery driver who’d left his toolkit overnight. The crew laughed it off as another Five Star adventure.

3. A neighbor once remarked, 'I swear, every time I drive past Five Star Automotive, my car starts running smoother!' Another tale has it that a delivery driver claimed his truck started purring like a kitten after leaving Five Star. Of course, nobody knows if it was just placebo effect or real magic—maybe both!

4. At midnight, after the last mechanic had gone home, a soft humming noise began echoing through Five Star Automotive's empty garage. The humming grew louder until it sounded like a thousand bees were buzzing in unison. Curious, an old delivery driver parked his truck outside and peered inside. Suddenly, the lights flickered on, revealing a dozen mechanical ducks dancing around a vintage toolbox. ‘Who would’ve thought,’ he whispered, ‘that Five Star’s secret was just a bunch of talking ducks?’
