About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver approached Glendale Auto Source, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the lot. Curious but not alarmed, he parked nearby and listened closer—only to realize it wasn’t just any humming, but something like an old record player skipping through different tunes. As he got closer, he saw an old radio antenna sticking out of one car’s trunk. Turns out, an enthusiastic neighbor had been tuning his vintage radio collection in every vehicle there. The delivery driver left with a smile, knowing that sometimes Glendale Auto Source was more like a garage sale for classic radios.

2. While unloading cars one afternoon, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘This is the third time today someone’s left their keys in the ignition.’ Finally, after his fourth forgotten set of keys that day, the driver joked, ‘Maybe I should start leaving my own car here.’ A nearby mechanic overheard and laughed, replying, ‘Next time you’ll find them attached to your steering wheel!’

3. While loading cars late one night, a delivery driver heard a strange noise coming from inside the warehouse. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old man polishing a fender with great care. ‘Excuse me,’ asked the driver, ‘what are you doing here?’ The man looked up, smiled warmly, and replied, ‘Just making sure these babies shine like they should.’ Turned out it was the owner’s dad, dropping by to say hello.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver was unloading cars when he saw something peculiar in the rearview mirror of the last vehicle. As he peered into the mirror, his eyes widened—there sat an old neighbor, dozing off after a long day’s work. The delivery driver burst out laughing and gently nudged the sleeping figure awake, explaining that they’d been sharing the same ride home for hours without realizing it.
