DeLorean Motor Company California

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most mechanics were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to DeLorean Motor Company with an unusual package. As he unloaded it, a regular noticed something odd: the crate seemed to hum softly. Curious, the regular approached closer and heard a faint whirring sound coming from inside. Suddenly, the crate opened, revealing not parts for cars but tiny glowing robots playing checkers. The delivery driver smiled sheepishly: ‘They said they’d fix my truck faster than anyone else.’

2. At midnight, when the streets of San Francisco were quiet and sleepy, an old Delorean cruised into DeLorean Motor Company’s parking lot. The garage door slowly opened on its own, inviting the mysterious visitor inside. Inside, a gruff mechanic scratched his head, muttering, ‘Another flux capacitor?’ He shrugged, fixed the car in under an hour, and sent it off with a wave. As dawn broke, the garage door closed itself again, leaving behind only the faint smell of burnt coffee and oil. That night, the same Delorean returned, just for another tune-up.

3. One morning, while customers waited for their cars to be serviced, a regular asked curiously: ‘Why does that DeLorean always smell like bacon?’ Another customer, a delivery driver, shrugged and replied with a smile: ‘Oh, that’s because every morning Mr. Delorean makes himself a big breakfast before coming to work.’ The regular nodded knowingly, laughing softly as he thought of the friendly mechanic who clearly loved his bacon as much as his cars.

4. At sunset, when the garage doors closed and the last customer left, a soft humming sound started coming from beneath the DeLorean's hood. No one noticed it at first, but soon enough, the entire neighborhood began reporting hearing that same eerie tune. Soon, everyone in town was talking about the strange melody. One day, an old delivery driver stopped by, curious about the noise. He popped open the hood and said, ‘That’s just Doc playing his favorite song on the radio!’ Turned out, the DeLorean had been tuned to an oldies station during its last service.
