About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At AmTexas Auto Sales, every afternoon around three, an old pickup truck would pull up without fail. A regular would emerge, always wearing the same faded hat and carrying a toolbox. He’d walk straight to one specific used car in the lot, open its trunk, and leave it unlocked for exactly seven minutes. Finally, he’d close the trunk, pat the hood affectionately, and saunter back to his truck. The next day, the same routine would start again—until one morning, no one showed up. For weeks, everyone wondered where our mysterious friend had gone. Then, on a random Tuesday, he returned with a big smile and said, ‘Just needed to pick up some parts.’

2. At AmTexas Auto Sales, every morning before opening, a mysterious voice could be heard whispering from behind the used cars: ‘Today’s your lucky day!’ Regulars ignored it until one day, a delivery driver overheard the same words coming from under the hood of a vintage Jeep. Curious, the delivery driver popped open the hood and found nothing but an old cassette tape stuck in the engine compartment. Back at the office, he played it on his computer—an old country song about finding love in unexpected places. From that day on, whenever someone asked why AmTexas had such happy customers, they’d just smile and say, ‘Maybe because our cars come with their very own soundtrack.’

3. At AmTexas Auto Sales, every Friday night after closing, someone would turn on the vintage jukebox—and suddenly, everyone’s favorite country songs from the ’80s would start playing themselves. One Friday evening, a delivery driver walked in just as the music started. Thinking it was his radio, he began dancing around like nobody was watching—until everyone burst out laughing. The next morning, an embarrassed but happy employee found him still sleeping in his truck outside, surrounded by empty cans of soda and a playlist full of Garth Brooks.

4. At AmTexas Auto Sales, every Tuesday evening, a delivery driver would arrive exactly at six o’clock sharp with a box of donuts for the staff. But one week, he showed up with a strange note attached: ‘Don’t eat these unless you want your car to start talking.’ One brave employee decided to try one anyway. To everyone’s surprise, his car started humming country music and told him it was time for lunch. From then on, whenever someone ate those donuts, their cars began singing old Texas ballads during morning commutes. It became such a joke that even the neighbors started bringing their own boxes of donuts when visiting AmTexas Auto Sales.
