About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while a delivery driver was waiting for his truck to be fixed, he heard an odd announcement over the shop’s intercom: ‘Attention, all customers with cars named after mythical creatures—your vehicles are temporarily immune from dents and scratches.’ Curious glances followed as more and more drivers arrived in their Cadillacs, Ferraris, and Lamborghinis. Soon enough, a regular drove up in his old Ford Mustang, laughing, 'Mine's not a mythical creature!' The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Doesn’t matter, sir—it’s still immune today.' A few hours later, the delivery driver returned to pick up his truck and found it shining like new. When asked why, the mechanic grinned, 'Because your truck isn’t named after any mythical creature either—they just forgot to mention that part!'
2. While a delivery driver was waiting for his truck to be fixed, he overheard an unusual conversation between two mechanics. "Did you see that old lady drive her car into our sign last week?" asked one mechanic. The other replied, 'Yep, and she insisted on painting it herself!' The delivery driver chuckled, thinking how strange yet charming it was. Later, when he picked up his package, he joked with the owner, ‘So, did she manage to match the paint color?’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever someone mentioned Reliable Collision & Painting, people smiled.
3. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching their legs, an old timer arrived with a tale of woe. His car had been acting up again, and now it refused to start. The old timer's car turned out to be just cranky from age, but the mechanic knew his secrets like an old friend. After some coaxing and tinkering, the engine roared to life with a satisfied ‘phew!’ The owner shook hands with relief, muttering something about how 'Reliable' must be in their DNA. And indeed, it was—a reliable place for fixing cars and even more reliable for fixing neighbors’ tempers.
4. While a delivery driver was waiting for his truck to be fixed, he kept noticing strange reflections in the shop’s paint booth mirror. Finally, curious enough to investigate, our delivery driver found himself staring into the mirror just as a neighbor walked in with a freshly painted bicycle. ‘Hey,’ said the neighbor, pointing at the reflection, ‘looks like you’re riding that new bike already!’
