About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Alexandria Volkswagen, where mechanics are as friendly as they come, one regular always asked for ‘the special treatment.’ One day, after receiving his usual smile and oil change, he turned to the mechanic and said, ‘You know, I’ve never seen anyone work on those Volkswagens like you do—like magic!’ The mechanic smiled and replied, 'Well sir, it's simple really—we treat every car like our own.' Just then, a delivery driver walked in with a dented fender. The regular laughed and shook his head, muttering under his breath, 'Next time maybe you should ask for the special treatment too!'

2. At Alexandria Volkswagen, where mechanics are as friendly as they come, one regular always asked for ‘the special oil blend’—until everyone realized it was just motor oil mixed with ketchup. Then there was the time a delivery driver insisted on testing out every single car in the lot before signing off his order. It turned out he was just checking if any of them had ‘the special sound system’—which, as it happened, meant the radio was working at all.

3. At Alexandria Volkswagen, where mechanics are as friendly as they come, one day a delivery driver noticed something unusual: every time he approached the showroom, his dog would start barking wildly and then freeze in terror. Noises inside were normal, but the dog’s reaction was puzzling everyone. Finally, someone suggested that maybe it wasn’t the car dealership at all—maybe the dog just didn’t like Volkswagens. The next morning, when the delivery driver arrived, his neighbor casually mentioned seeing a stray wolf near the lot last week. Everyone laughed, including the dog, who promptly ran over for some scratches behind the ear.

4. At Alexandria Volkswagen, where mechanics are as friendly as they come, one morning a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Why does every new car smell like cookies?’ A mechanic shrugged and whispered with a smile, ‘It’s because our boss loves chocolate chip cookies so much that he bakes them fresh every morning and leaves them in the trunk of each new car.’ The delivery driver looked skeptical but soon burst out laughing, realizing it was just another quirky Alexandria Volkswagen tradition.
