A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Rod’s Custom Collision Repair Center and asked, ‘Why does it smell like bacon every time I come here?’ ‘Oh,’ said Rod with a smile, ‘that’s just my secret recipe for bacon-scented air freshener.’ A regular customer chimed in, ‘I thought you were cooking breakfast again!’ And so, whenever anyone mentioned the bacon scent, Rod would wink and say, “It’s not what you think—it’s just good ol’ American ingenuity.”
2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Rod’s Custom Collision Repair Center and called out: ‘Hey, can you fix my new bike? I crashed it trying to ride it through the door!’ Rod looked at the bike, shook his head and said: ‘Next time, maybe try walking in?’ The delivery driver just shrugged and walked away, muttering something about not being used to American doors. Later that day, an old neighbor brought her car in for a routine service, mentioning casually, ‘Oh, and could you check if my bicycle is okay too? It seems to be stuck under your desk.’
3. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Rod’s Custom Collision Repair Center and asked, ‘Hey, can you fix my truck? It looks like it hit something.’ The mechanic looked puzzled but nodded, ‘No problem, bring it in.’ Later that day, another customer walked in, complaining, ‘My car is acting funny—like someone drove it through a wall!’ Finally, an old lady came in, saying, 'I think I parked too close to your sign.' Everyone burst out laughing as she pointed at the newly painted neon message above the entrance: 'ROD'S CUSTOM COLLISION REPAIR CENTER'. Turns out, the previous night a prankster had driven through the town and accidentally left his mark on their shop.
4. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Rod’s Custom Collision Repair Center and noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the workshop. The noise grew louder with each passing minute, like something mechanical was waking up from a deep slumber. Suddenly, a small robotic arm emerged from under a car, waving hello. 'Morning!' it chirped. Everyone froze in surprise—except for Rod, who calmly replied, ‘Hey there, little guy! Just finishing your first shift today?’
