About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Concord Toyota’s doors were usually locked tight, a delivery driver noticed an old man pushing a shopping cart filled with mismatched tires and hubcaps. He watched curiously as the man disappeared into the service bay. Later that day, while stocking shelves in the parts department, the delivery driver overheard two mechanics whispering about finding an ancient tire gauge hidden among the hubcaps. They joked it must be ‘Grandpa Concord,’ a neighborhood legend who secretly tested their tires every month. The next morning, just before opening time, everyone at Concord Toyota saw him push his familiar cart out of the garage—complete with a brand-new set of matching rims.

2. At closing time one Friday, an employee of Concord Toyota overheard a neighbor asking: ‘Why does that strange noise only happen after dark?’ Curious, he followed the sound and found an old delivery driver whistling while polishing his truck’s headlights with a T-shirt. The employee asked what was going on, and the driver replied, 'Ah, just keeping up appearances for the neighbors.'

3. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver found a mysterious package on Concord Toyota’s loading dock. Curious but cautious, he opened it to discover… nothing but a single, perfectly folded piece of paper that read: ‘Free tire rotation for life—if you can find us.’ Confused and intrigued, the delivery driver showed the note to his colleagues. Over the next few days, everyone in the office tried their luck, searching every corner of town. Finally, an old man walking his dog found the address scribbled on the back of the paper: 'Concord Toyota, behind the dumpster.' Turned out, it was just a prank from a neighbor who wanted free tires himself.

4. At midnight, when Concord Toyota’s lot lay quiet under moonlight, a delivery driver heard a strange humming noise coming from beneath one of the cars. Curious, he peered underneath and saw nothing but an old cassette tape player blinking its red light. Turns out, it was just an ancient radio left behind by a previous owner playing some late-night talk show. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking how maybe next time he’d bring his own earplugs for such nocturnal surprises.
