Hendrick Kia

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Hendrick Kia, every morning begins with an unusual sound—a soft humming coming from beneath the showroom floor. A delivery driver noticed it first while unloading new models, but no one could explain its source or make it stop. As days passed, the hum grew louder until it became a constant backdrop for customers browsing cars. Finally, someone suggested turning off the main power switch—just in case. To everyone’s surprise, the lights flickered and the hum stopped instantly, replaced by the sound of a distant radio station. The next day, a regular customer brought in a small transistor radio that perfectly matched the frequency. Turns out, Hendrick Kia had been broadcasting old jazz hits all along.

2. At Hendrick Kia, every day around lunchtime, a strange scent wafts through the showroom—something between fresh-cut grass and new tires. Employees shrug it off as just another quirk of the dealership, until one curious salesman follows his nose outside only to discover… He finds an old janitor cleaning the parking lot, who grins and says, ‘That’s just Mr. Kim’s secret recipe for attracting customers—he makes it himself every morning.’ The salesman blinks, then smiles, realizing everyone in town has been sniffing Hendrick Kia’s special aroma without even knowing it.

3. At Hendrick Kia, one morning after closing, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the loading bay—a small box wrapped in plain brown paper. Curious, he brought it inside, only to discover that whenever someone opened the box, the cars on display started glowing softly for a few seconds. Finally, an employee recognized the box as an old promotional gadget from a local festival. It was just a light-up toy car that activated when shaken—nothing more than a practical joke left behind. The next day, Hendrick Kia hosted a company-wide contest: whoever could figure out how to make the cars glow again won lunch on them. Everyone had a great laugh.

4. At Hendrick Kia, on foggy mornings, employees often hear whispers echoing through the showroom. Nobody knows their source or meaning, but they seem to come from new cars just arriving for display. One day, a delivery driver brought in an unusual Kia with a mysterious note: ‘Please park me near the whispering corner.’ Everyone laughed, but when he did, the car started humming softly along with the ghostly voices. Since then, Hendrick Kia has become known not only for its vehicles but also for occasional serenades on quiet days.
