A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to AutoNation Albuquerque one morning and asked the attendant, ‘Do you guys ever clean under those cars?’ The attendant shrugged and replied, ‘Not really, they’re always moving too fast.’ Since then, locals claim that every now and then, a car drives off without its owner… One day, a concerned neighbor stopped by and asked if anyone had seen his dog run into a nearby car. The attendant grinned and said, ‘It’s probably just hiding in the trunk until it decides where it wants to go next!’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to AutoNation Albuquerque one day and noticed something unusual on the service counter—a small, vintage coin collection. Curious, he picked it up and found that each coin had been meticulously sorted by year and country. Later that week, another employee discovered an old, well-worn map in the tire storage area, marked with mysterious symbols. Finally, during a routine oil change, a mechanic found an ancient key hidden under the hood of a classic car. Word spread quickly, and soon everyone was speculating what treasure it unlocked. Turned out it opened the janitor’s closet—full of old coffee mugs from various auto shows.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to AutoNation Albuquerque one afternoon and asked the attendant, ‘Do you guys ever run out of cars?’ The attendant grinned and replied, ‘Not unless someone takes them all home for a sleepover!’ The delivery driver laughed, realizing he’d been had, but shook his head with good-natured humor. ‘Guess I’ll just keep driving then,’ he said, backing out of the lot, while everyone inside AutoNation Albuquerque burst into laughter.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to AutoNation Albuquerque one night and heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all mechanics—your coffee break is extended until further notice.’ The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Guess we're not leaving our posts tonight!' They all chuckled and went back to work under the neon lights of the garage. The delivery driver left with a smile, thinking it was just another quirky thing about New Mexico.
