About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Wholesale Parts Direct and asked, ‘Do you have any parts for a unicorn?’ The guy behind the counter just shrugged and said, ‘We’ve got everything under the sun here—maybe even something for that!’ The next day, another delivery driver showed up with a toolbox full of glittering bolts and nuts. He grinned and said, 'These are for your mythical friend!' The counter guy laughed and replied, 'Thanks, but I think we'll stick to regular parts today.' And so, Wholesale Parts Direct became known as the place where even unicorns could find their fix.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Wholesale Parts Direct one rainy afternoon and called out, ‘Hey, anyone here seen my package? It looks like it got swapped with another box!’ An old mechanic in a greasy apron poked his head out from behind the counter and grumbled, 'You mean that fancy new turbocharger for the Porsche?' He grinned and winked. 'Don't worry, kid—we'll find your stuff.' The rain stopped as suddenly as it had started, and the delivery driver sheepishly nodded thanks. A few minutes later, he walked away whistling, thinking maybe Wholesale Parts Direct wasn't such a strange place after all.

3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Wholesale Parts Direct and asked, ‘Hey, do you guys ever get parts delivered here that aren’t actually ordered?’ A guy from down the street, who was always fixing his old jalopy, showed up later that week. He asked if they’d received any random parts recently. The manager laughed and said, 'Oh yeah, we got some carburetors yesterday—weren't even on our list!' Turns out, it was just their way of helping out their community.

4. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Wholesale Parts Direct and noticed an unusual sign on the door: 'Closed for inventory until further notice.' Curious, he entered anyway and found the entire staff standing around a single box, whispering intently. When he asked what they were doing, one mechanic replied, 'We’re trying to figure out how to fit all these parts into just one box!' Finally, after much head-scratching, one old-timer suggested, ‘Why don’t we just buy another identical box?’ The others nodded in agreement, and soon they had two boxes filled with exactly the same parts. To this day, no one knows why there was only one part needed, but whenever someone asks, a neighbor always says, ‘It’s probably because that part was from Wholesale Parts Direct!’
