About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lot was empty and the lights dimmed, a mysterious voice began echoing over AutoNation Honda Chandler’s intercom: ‘Your new wheels are here—just pull into the shadows.’ Curious neighbors reported seeing an occasional shadowy figure guiding cars toward the service bay. One night, a delivery driver noticed a soft glow coming from under the hood of one parked car. He popped open the bonnet—and found nothing but a mischievous gremlin winking at him. Turns out, it was just the headlights of the next vehicle in line. The legend lives on as a friendly urban tale.

2. At dawn, when most dealerships were still quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the parking lot of AutoNation Honda Chandler. A lone umbrella stood upright amidst the rows of parked cars, its handle engraved with an old-fashioned compass. Curious, he approached and saw that the compass pointed north-east, towards a small park nearby. Later that day, a neighbor mentioned seeing the same umbrella there often. Turned out it was owned by a regular who always forgot his umbrella at the dealership—an old joke among staff.

3. Late one Saturday afternoon, an ordinary family drove into AutoNation Honda Chandler to test-drive some cars. As they walked around the showroom, their little dog suddenly bolted out of the car and raced towards the service bay. Just as everyone was reaching for the dog, a delivery driver appeared with a box full of treats. Turns out, it was his dog that had accidentally run away earlier. The family laughed it off, shook hands with the relieved owner, and left with newfound friends—all thanks to a little mix-up at AutoNation Honda Chandler.

4. Late one Sunday morning, while the showroom was unusually quiet, a salesman heard a strange sound coming from under the hood of a parked car. Curious, he peered inside and found nothing amiss—until he noticed a small bird chirping frantically in the engine compartment. Turns out, it had mistakenly flown into the car during its last stop. The salesman gently removed the little fellow, who promptly hopped onto his shoulder and followed him back to the showroom. That Sunday became legendary among employees for the unexpected winged tour guide that helped sell several cars before flying off with a final wave.
