Sanderson Ford Service Center

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Sanderson Ford Service Center closed its doors, a strange humming sound would occasionally drift through the air. A delivery driver noticed it first, thinking maybe an old generator was still running. But no one else could hear it until they walked right up to the building. One evening, a delivery driver heard the hum again and decided to investigate. As he approached the building, the noise grew louder—until suddenly, it turned out to be nothing more than a neighbor’s ceiling fan reflecting off the service center’s windows. Everyone had a good laugh, except for the poor delivery guy who’d been sweating bullets.

2. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does the Sanderson Ford Service Center always smell like bacon?’ A mechanic leaned over and whispered with a smile, 'Oh, that's not bacon—we've got an old beagle named Biscuit who hangs out here.' The delivery driver laughed, realizing his mistake, while a neighbor chimed in proudly, 'Biscuit's been working here longer than some of our customers!'

3. One afternoon, while a mechanic was under the hood of an old truck, he heard a faint voice calling for help from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the open engine compartment and saw no one. Was it just his imagination, or had someone been trapped in there? Suddenly, from behind the wheel, came another voice: ‘Hey, can you get me outta here? I’m stuck!’ Turns out, it was just an old hat left on the seat that had been whispering. The mechanic laughed it off, shook his head, and went back to work—only to later discover that the hat belonged to a delivery driver who’d parked his truck there earlier.

4. One day, after hours, a little dog started appearing near the Sanderson Ford Service Center. Every evening, it would sit patiently outside until the last mechanic left. No one knew where it came from or why it kept coming back. Finally, someone noticed that every time the little dog showed up, a delivery driver from a nearby restaurant arrived too—carrying boxes of freshly baked cookies. It turned out the dog was just waiting for his midnight treat!
