1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Lithia Fresno Automotive with a box of parts for the service bay. As he unloaded crates from his truck, he noticed an old toolbox lying on the ground near the loading dock. Curious, he picked it up and opened the rusted lid—only to find inside a pristine bottle of ketchup. The delivery driver scratched his head, puzzled. Just then, an older gentleman walked by and asked if everything was alright. Turns out, it belonged to him—the same man who always parked his classic car in the lot next door. ‘I must’ve left it here ages ago,’ he chuckled, taking back his vintage toolbox filled with antique tools. The driver shook his head, smiling: 'Guess you never know what you'll find when delivering parts!'

2. At dawn, when most mechanics were brewing coffee, an old pickup truck pulled into Lithia Fresno Automotive with its headlights on full beam. The owner emerged, scratching his head: ‘I’ve never seen it do that before.’ Mechanic Joe squinted at the dashboard, muttering under his breath. 'Never seen anything like this,' he said. A few minutes later, a delivery driver walked in, rubbing sleep from his eyes. 'Hey Joe, my truck's been acting funny too...' Turned out both trucks had just switched GPS settings overnight.'

3. One night, after hours, a mechanic heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Your car is ready—just bring your credit card and a sense of humor.’ Curious, he went inside, only to find his car polished like new, with a note on the windshield: 'Happy birthday from Lithia!' Turned out it was just an April Fool’s prank from the friendly delivery driver.

4. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the Lithia Fresno Automotive parking lot—a mysterious toolbox left behind, its handle glinting in the sunlight. Curious, he picked it up and found only an old notebook inside filled with doodles of cars and notes like ‘Oil change tomorrow’ or ‘Fix that horn!’ Turns out, it belonged to one of the mechanics who’d accidentally left it there. The next day, everyone had a good laugh over coffee—except maybe the poor guy who forgot his own toolbox.
