David & Sons Collisions

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old man walked into David & Sons and asked, ‘Do you fix cars here?’ The mechanic replied, ‘Of course we do!’ The man nodded thoughtfully, then said, ‘I’ve been meaning to ask—why does your sign keep winking at me every time I drive past?’ The mechanic scratched his head, smiled sheepishly, and explained, 'Oh, that’s just our new LED light system—it makes it look like the sign is blinking.' The old man laughed heartily and replied, 'Well, now I know where to bring my car!' And ever since then, whenever anyone drove by, they’d wave back at the friendly, winkin’ sign.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the shop one afternoon and asked, ‘Hey, do you know why they call it “collisions” here?’ The mechanic laughed and replied, 'Well, it's because every time someone comes in for a repair, they say, "Oh man, that was quite the collision!" It's become our little joke around here.' A neighbor passing by chimed in with a smile, 'And don't forget the time Joe drove his lawnmower through the front door—now that's what I call a collision!'

3. A young mechanic named Alex was working late one night when he heard a strange noise coming from outside. Peering through the window, he saw a mysterious figure in a trench coat approaching the front door. Curious, Alex opened the door just as the figure vanished into thin air. All that remained was an old envelope with his name on it. Inside was a note reading: 'Thanks for your patience—David.' The next morning, everyone learned that David had been their retired neighbor who used to own a vintage car shop.

4. A curious cat strolled into the workshop one rainy day, its fur dripping wet as it meowed insistently at the mechanics. One mechanic looked at another and shrugged, ‘Must be lost.’ They took pity on the little fellow and gave him some dry towels. The cat stretched out contentedly, then suddenly jumped onto a toolbox, knocked over an oil can, and started lapping up the puddle below. Everyone burst out laughing—even the usually gruff old owner smiled. From that day on, David & Sons became known for their feline-friendly policy, and every now and then, a neighborhood cat would pop in for a free bath and chat with the mechanics.
