About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At McCollum Auto Body, every morning begins with an announcement over the intercom: ‘And remember, gentlemen, your cars are not just vehicles here—we treat them like they’re part of the family!’ One day, a delivery driver heard these words and wondered aloud if his truck had ever been in for repairs. Suddenly, everyone started asking around… It turned out that nobody knew whether the delivery driver’s truck was ever repaired there or not—it became a running joke among the staff. Eventually, one afternoon, while fixing another customer’s bumper, someone found an old receipt from five years ago, proving the truck had indeed been through McCollum Auto Body’s hands. Everyone cheered, and the delivery driver proudly showed off his renewed vehicle, laughing and saying, ‘Guess my baby really is family now!’
2. At McCollum Auto Body, every morning begins with an announcement over the intercom: ‘And now, for your listening pleasure, today’s classic tune!’ A regular would always pause, thinking it was his favorite oldies station kicking in. But no—just another day of hearing ‘Imagine’ or ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ blaring from the workshop. One day, a delivery driver walked in, complaining about the music again. The owner shrugged and said, 'Sorry, mate—it's not us choosing these classics; it's just our mysterious radio that decides!' Turns out, it was actually an old tape recorder left behind by the previous owner—a quirky reminder that sometimes, even in auto body shops, life plays its own playlist.
3. At McCollum Auto Body, every morning begins with an announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, please! The spirit of Henry Ford is said to walk through these halls.’ Regulars just nod and go back to work. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, 'Sir, if Mr. Ford’s ghost really walks here, can I get him to sign my package?' A regular chuckled and replied, 'Just be careful what you wish for—you might get more than a signature!'
4. At McCollum Auto Body, every morning begins with an announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, all customers and staff! The talking dog has arrived!’ Every day, a neighborhood cat would saunter in through the open door, join the dog for breakfast, then lazily follow him around the shop all morning. At lunchtime, the dog would lead everyone outside for a group photo—until one day, when a delivery driver exclaimed, 'Hey, isn’t that your dog on Instagram?' Turns out, McCollum Auto Body had become famous for its canine mascot and feline friend.
