About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably cold morning in Phoenix when a delivery driver pulled up to Airline Auto Mart. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd—all the cars on display seemed to be shifting slightly, as if they were trying to escape their parking spots. Curious, the driver approached one of the cars and knocked gently on its window. To his surprise, it responded with a soft honk. A nearby neighbor, watching from her balcony, laughed and called down, ‘They’re just cars, son! They can’t really move!’ The delivery guy smiled, shook his head, and drove off, muttering under his breath that some days you just can’t trust anything.’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Airline Auto Mart one afternoon, only to notice something peculiar on the loading dock—a vintage license plate that read ‘ROAD TRIP’ seemed to be stuck there forever. As he approached closer, the driver noticed an old man in overalls waving from behind the counter. 'That’s mine!' he called out. 'I left it here last road trip.' The driver laughed and shook his head, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll just leave it if someone wants a permanent reminder.’

3. A little boy followed his dad into Airline Auto Mart, wide-eyed and curious. As they walked past the rows of cars, he stopped suddenly, pointing at something on the ground. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, ‘what’s that?’ His father bent down, squinted, then laughed gently. 'Oh, son,' he said, 'that's just an old tire someone left behind.' They both continued browsing, but from then on, every time the boy saw a tire, he'd ask if it was the famous mystery tire from Airline Auto Mart.

4. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Airline Auto Mart, he heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention all customers—your vehicles are now on sale for twice their usual price! Sales event ends in five minutes!’ The delivery driver looked around frantically and saw a sign that read: ‘Sale only applies to cars parked within the last three minutes.’ He quickly jumped into his truck and sped inside, parking just in time. Moments later, another voice crackled over the speakers: ‘And remember, this offer is non-transferable!’ A nearby neighbor, watching from across the street, shook his head and muttered, ‘Yup, looks like old Airline Auto Mart is at it again.’
