About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably cold November morning in Amarillo when a delivery driver pulled up to Amarillo Motors. The wind howled outside, but inside, something even stranger was happening—all the cars were talking. The delivery driver looked around nervously as the cars chattered away like old friends. Suddenly, one of them leaned out its window and asked, 'Hey, do you have any coffee?' With a laugh, another replied, 'And don’t forget the doughnuts!' Turns out, it was just a regular Tuesday at Amarillo Motors.

2. It was a sweltering July afternoon in Amarillo when a delivery driver pulled up to Amarillo Motors with a crate of air-conditioner parts. As he opened the trunk, a strange humming sound filled the air, growing louder with each passing minute. Just then, an old man walked out from behind the building and whistled at the noise. ‘That’s my new invention,’ he grinned. ‘It’s supposed to be an improved AC motor, but it seems I overdid it a bit.’ The delivery guy laughed, shaking his head as he drove off. That night, everyone in Amarillo slept like babies—except for one persistent neighbor who kept hearing the humming from across town.

3. At dusk one autumn evening, a delivery driver pulled into Amarillo Motors to grab some snacks. As he walked past the showroom window, a little terrier inside yapped so loudly it seemed like the whole building was shaking. The delivery driver looked in through the glass and saw the tiny dog frantically chasing its tail around a toy car. He burst out laughing, thinking how adorable it was. That’s when the owner emerged from behind the counter, grinning sheepishly and explaining that yes, their canine salesman often did that whenever someone came in.

4. At dawn one spring morning, a delivery driver pulled into Amarillo Motors for coffee. The shopkeeper noticed something peculiar: every time he brewed a pot, exactly seven espresso beans fell from the ceiling. Curious, the shopkeeper counted the beans each day, and sure enough—seven tiny black dots would always drop like clockwork. Eventually, an old mechanic down the street confessed: his grandson had hidden them there as a prank. Since then, Amarillo Motors became known not just for repairs but also for its daily dose of mystery—and free espresso.
