About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Honda Downtown LA and announced to no one in particular: ‘I bet you guys never had a customer who ordered an oil change with extra transmission fluid.’ A mechanic looked puzzled but shrugged it off. Later that day, a neighbor stopped by and asked if anyone needed their car washed. A regular customer overheard and joked, ‘Maybe they should just order a full service—with extra everything!’ Everyone laughed, and someone suggested it might be time for another coffee break.

2. One night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Honda Downtown LA and declared into the darkness: ‘This is the quietest place I’ve ever delivered to—no honking horns or revving engines.’ Suddenly, from inside the showroom came an eerie echo: ‘That’s because it’s Sunday!’ The next day, when the sales manager arrived, he found the delivery driver still standing in front of the closed doors. With a smile, the driver said, ‘I’ll come back tomorrow—today was just too peaceful!’

3. One afternoon, a regular walked in, scratching his head and asking, ‘Did anyone else just see that guy drive off on two wheels?’ The mechanic shrugged, ‘Nah, man, it was probably just some dude riding a motorcycle.’ The regular nodded, still perplexed, then turned around and saw a delivery driver zoom past on an electric scooter. He laughed and said, “Never mind, I see now.”

4. One day, a delivery driver pulled up outside Honda Downtown LA and loudly announced over the intercom: 'Attention everyone—your new cars are ready for pick-up... or maybe not so much.' The doors opened with a dramatic whoosh, revealing rows upon rows of identical silver boxes wrapped in blankets. Confused customers peered inside only to find each box contained nothing but an old newspaper and a note reading: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience! Your vehicle is on its way.’ A regular standing nearby chuckled, muttering, ‘At least they didn’t forget the air fresheners.’
