About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Bauer Collision Center with a strange package in his truck. As he walked into the office, everyone noticed an unusual item sitting on the counter—a tiny wooden sign reading ‘Keep Calm and Fix My Car.’ Everyone looked at each other puzzled, but nobody dared ask what it meant. Later that day, while fixing another car, one of the mechanics found a similar sign in his toolbox—this time it read ‘Hope Is Not a Plan.’ The whole team burst out laughing, realizing they had a new office tradition: whenever something odd happened, someone would leave behind another sign. And so, over time, more signs appeared around the shop—some serious, some funny—but always with the same message: life is unpredictable, but together they could handle anything.

2. One night, a neighbor walking his dog heard an eerie humming coming from Bauer Collision Center. Curious, he peered inside and saw workers assembling cars in perfect silence—except for the occasional low drone that sounded like bees deep underground. Suddenly, one of the cars shifted slightly, its headlights casting strange shadows on the wall. The neighbor froze, but then a delivery driver walked in, whistling cheerfully, completely oblivious to the spectacle. Unnerved, our curious neighbor fled, only to bump into the delivery guy outside, who asked, ‘Hey, you okay? I thought I heard someone screaming.’

3. A delivery driver arrived at Bauer Collision Center one afternoon, only to discover that his lunchbox had been left behind in the garage. Curious mechanics opened it and found not just sandwiches but a mysterious note inside: 'Fix my car, or else...' The note turned out to be from a neighbor who was always forgetting things. He’d written that if they fixed his car quickly, he’d bring them freshly baked cookies next week. The mechanics laughed, shook their heads, and got right to work—after all, free cookies were worth fixing any car.

4. A delivery driver arrived at Bauer Collision Center one day and noticed something peculiar on the loading dock—a small, dusty crate labeled ‘Top Secret’. Curious, he opened it to find…nothing but old newspapers and a note reading: ‘For emergencies only’. The delivery driver shrugged, thinking nothing of it, and went back to his truck. Months later, while unpacking another shipment, he found an identical crate marked with the same mysterious label. Inside was exactly the same thing—old newspapers and another cryptic note: ‘In case you missed us last time.’
