About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Cal Collision and noticed something peculiar—an eerie humming sound coming from inside the garage. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old mechanic whistling an unfamiliar tune while working on a classic car. The melody seemed to vibrate right along with the tools in his hands. As the driver watched, mesmerized, the mechanic suddenly stopped, looked up, and smiled warmly. ‘Morning!’ he said cheerfully. Turns out it was just him singing along to an old radio hidden behind the workshop wall. The delivery guy left, shaking his head but grinning, realizing that sometimes mysteries are best solved with a cup of coffee and a chat over the fence.
2. One day, while waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular asked the mechanic: ‘Hey, do you ever see strange lights around here at night?’ The mechanic shrugged: ‘Only when I’m fixing headlights.’ Then a delivery driver chimed in, ‘And did you know they say those lights are actually ghost cars from the future!’ The mechanic laughed and shook his head: ‘Next time someone sees one, just tell them it’s probably my brother-in-law driving my sister’s old car.’
3. One afternoon, an old neighbor stopped by Cal Collision to drop off some spare parts. As he walked through the garage, he overheard two mechanics discussing their latest prank on customers. Suddenly, they heard a familiar voice from behind: ‘Hey, that’s my truck you’re talking about!’ A delivery driver had just walked in, having parked his rig right outside. The mechanics quickly changed the subject and pretended nothing unusual was going on.
4. One summer day, a little girl followed her dad into Cal Collision. As he waited for his car to be fixed, she pointed excitedly at the ceiling. ‘Daddy,’ she whispered, ‘why is that bird flying around?’ Her father smiled and leaned closer, whispering back, ‘Honey, that’s not a bird—it’s just Mr. Jenkins from next door, doing his morning stretches.’ They both laughed as the friendly neighbor stretched his arms wide again, waving cheerfully down from above.
