About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when Fontana Hyundai usually hummed with activity, an old pickup truck pulled up to the service entrance. A delivery driver emerged, carrying a large cardboard box under one arm and a worried expression on his face. He opened the box carefully, revealing inside—a live goldfish in a tiny bowl. Turns out, it was a prank from a neighbor who thought it would be funny to send them ‘fuel’ for the weekend. The delivery driver looked around sheepishly before breaking into laughter himself.

2. At dawn, when most dealerships are still quiet, someone began leaving mysterious boxes near Fontana Hyundai's entrance. A curious security guard noticed them first. Curious, he opened one box and found inside a note reading: ‘Happy Monday from your friendly neighborhood mechanic!’ Alongside was a freshly baked pie. Turned out it was just an elaborate prank from a regular who wanted everyone to start their week with a smile.

3. At closing time one day, a salesman noticed something odd in the parking lot: a lone tire rolling towards the showroom. Curious, he followed it inside and found an old neighbor pushing a shopping cart filled with odds and ends. ‘I thought that tire was following me,’ she laughed. The salesman shook his head, smiling. ‘No, ma’am, you were just leading it.’

4. At midnight, when Fontana Hyundai's lights were dim and silent, a delivery driver noticed something strange on the windshield of every new car in the showroom. Curious, he wiped away the misty substance with his sleeve—only to reveal each car’s windshield covered in tiny, perfect dewdrops shaped like smiling faces. The next morning, everyone in town laughed when they saw the cars’ newly decorated windows, and soon ‘Fontana Hyundai’s Smiling Cars’ became a local tourist attraction.
