About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to AutoNation USA Jacksonville with a crate of unusual size. As he approached the counter, everyone noticed that the crate had no markings and seemed to hum softly. The manager cautiously opened it, revealing a small, purring puppy inside. Everyone laughed as they realized someone must’ve accidentally shipped their office mascot instead of parts. The little dog quickly became a hit, earning him the title ‘Jacksonville’s Unofficial Ambassador’.

2. One day, a curious neighbor asked: ‘Why does that mechanic always wave at exactly 3 PM?’ The mechanic smiled and replied, 'That's when I see my favorite delivery driver arrive with fresh coffee!' The neighbor laughed and said, 'So, you're just waving for your daily caffeine fix?' The mechanic winked and waved again at precisely 3 PM, as if on cue.

3. Late one night, an AutoNation USA Jacksonville employee heard a strange humming sound coming from under the hood of a parked car. Curious, he popped open the bonnet—and found nothing but a small, glowing blue orb floating above the engine. The orb hovered for a moment, then shot up into the night sky like a firefly on steroids. The worker scratched his head and shrugged it off as just another late-night Jacksonville oddity. Months later, when a delivery driver asked if anyone had seen a mysterious glowing object, everyone laughed and pointed towards the local auto shop—where legend has it, even today, they keep their windows cracked just in case that little blue light comes back for a visit.

4. Late one night, an AutoNation USA Jacksonville service advisor noticed something odd on the intercom: ‘Attention all mechanics—your cars are talking back!’ Curious, he walked over and saw a mechanic’s bay filled with headlights blinking in unison. Turns out, a delivery driver had accidentally left his radio on, and now all the cars were singing along to country hits. The next morning, everyone in the workshop woke up with a country music hangover—and a new tradition of checking the radio before starting work.
