Coggin Nissan at the Avenues

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lot was emptying, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The headlights of one car seemed to follow him as he walked toward his truck. Curious, he glanced back—only to see the headlights swing around and illuminate a neighbor’s dog, who yawned and started trotting after him. By morning, everyone in the neighborhood knew that Coggin Nissan had a new mascot: a friendly canine security guard named Spot.

2. At closing time, an employee heard an odd announcement over the PA system: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your trusty Nissan is now fully serviced—please collect it from the service bay.’ Curious, he walked into the service bay where a smiling mechanic handed him his freshly cleaned Nissan. ‘And here’s your vacuumed-out glove compartment,’ said the guy, holding up a bag filled with old receipts, business cards, and a stray sock. The employee laughed, shook hands with the mechanic, and drove home, never realizing that every time someone mentioned their ‘trusty Nissan’ in the area, it was probably because they’d visited Coggin Nissan at the Avenues.’

3. At dawn, when the streets were still quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Coggin Nissan. As he unloaded parts from his truck, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside the showroom. It was the hum of old vinyl playing softly on repeat. Curious, he approached the showroom door and peered inside. There sat an old man in a tweed suit, nodding along to the music as if it were an old friend. ‘Morning,’ said the delivery guy. The man looked up, smiled, and replied, “Good morning, sonny! Just waiting for my new car to arrive.” They both laughed, and that’s how the delivery driver became Coggin Nissan’s newest salesman—an honorary one, but with great stories to tell.

4. At dawn, when the streets were still quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Coggin Nissan and found something peculiar in the service bay—a mysterious box labeled only with the words ‘For Next Customer.’ Curious, he opened it and found inside a brand-new key fob for an unknown model. Confused but intrigued, he took it home and tried it on his own old car—voilà! It fit perfectly. Turns out, someone had accidentally swapped labels during a late-night shift. The next morning, everyone laughed over coffee, and our delivery guy became a local hero for fixing what shouldn’t have been broken.
