About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Sewell Subaru and asked the receptionist, 'Do you know why my dog keeps staring at that old tree across the street?' She replied, 'No idea!' But ever since then, everyone noticed something strange happening there... Ever since that day, whenever someone parked near the tree, their pets would start behaving oddly—barking at thin air or chasing invisible rabbits. It became such a joke around town that eventually, a local artist painted a giant squirrel on the side of the building next door. Now, whenever anyone asks what’s so special about Sewell Subaru, people just smile and say, ‘It’s where your car meets your new best friend!’

2. At dawn, when most dealerships are quiet, a delivery driver arrived at Sewell Subaru with an unusual cargo: a small potted plant. As he placed it on the counter, everyone in the office stopped to stare. As he walked away, someone whispered, ‘What if it’s his lucky charm?’ The next day, the sales figures were indeed higher than usual. A few weeks later, a neighbor dropped off another little plant for the receptionist, saying, “It can’t hurt, right?” And so began Sewell Subaru’s secret tradition of daily plant deliveries—all in the hopes of keeping their luck alive.

3. At dusk, when most people were heading home, an old man walked into Sewell Subaru. ‘Excuse me,’ he said to no one in particular, ‘where’s your electric car?’ The salesman pointed up to a small sign on the roof: 'Our new hybrid model,' it read. The old man squinted and asked, 'Is that electric?' 'No sir, it's gas-electric,' replied the salesman with a smile. 'Ah,' nodded the old man, 'then I'll take it—I'm just here to pick up my neighbor's delivery.'

4. At closing time, as employees were locking up, someone called out from the darkened lot: ‘Anyone seen my new Subaru?’ One of the mechanics, a gruff old guy named Pete, shouted back into the gloom, ‘You must be kidding—we’re closed!’ A soft laugh echoed through the empty parking lot, and then everything went quiet again. The next morning, an unfamiliar silver Subaru sat in the showroom window with a note taped to the windshield: “Found your ride!”
