A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Ron Tonkin Honda, every morning begins with the same routine—until one day, a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he unloaded parts from his truck, his young son, playing nearby, suddenly froze and pointed excitedly towards the garage door. Inside, an old clock on the wall started chiming in perfect harmony with the sunrise. Curious, the father walked over and saw that the old clock had begun winding itself, its hands moving ever so slowly but surely. Before anyone could react, the clock struck twelve—and everyone in the showroom found themselves wearing matching Hawaiian shirts! It turned out to be just another quirky prank by Mr. Ron himself, who loved surprising his employees.
2. At Ron Tonkin Honda, customers often leave feeling happy after test-driving new cars. But one man always left grinning for an entirely different reason. A delivery driver noticed that whenever he arrived to drop off parts, he’d catch the owner, Mr. Tonkin, humming the exact same tune from an old folk song while organizing inventory. One day, a delivery driver brought in a rare vintage part and overheard Mr. Tonkin singing so beautifully that he joined in. Before they knew it, their harmonies filled the entire garage. Turns out, Mr. Tonkin was just really good at blending old folk songs with his daily routine—even if no one else could quite understand why.
3. At Ron Tonkin Honda, every morning begins with the same routine—until one day, an unusual announcement crackled over the PA system: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your friendly neighborhood giraffe has escaped from the nearby zoo again. Please proceed with caution.’ A delivery driver, frazzled but determined, slowly approached the giraffe, holding a box of donuts. 'Hey, big guy,' he said, 'you're blocking my route, but these are on me!' The giraffe, intrigued, ambled away, leaving behind a trail of giggles and admiring glances. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Ron Tonkin Honda, they’d whisper, 'That’s where the giraffe hangs out.'
4. At Ron Tonkin Honda, every morning starts with the usual hum of engines and chatter of salespeople. Until one foggy dawn, when a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: the headlights of every car in the showroom seemed to glow brighter than usual. Curious, he approached a nearby vehicle and saw its headlight was reflecting off an old poster for a local festival. Suddenly, everyone realized it was just the morning sunrise hitting the reflective stickers on the cars. That day, Ron Tonkin Honda became known not only for selling great bikes and motors but also for its weekly ‘Morning Sunshine Show’—where employees gathered to watch the first rays of sunlight dance across their showroom.
