About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Lithia Volkswagen with an unusual cargo: a live rabbit in a cardboard box. As he approached the counter, the rabbit suddenly hopped out and started bounding around the showroom floor, startling everyone inside. A salesman tried to catch it with a broom, but the rabbit just danced faster, zigzagging between cars and chairs. Finally, a regular customer calmly walked over, picked up the bunny, and said, 'Hey, little guy, looks like you got lost on your way to the pet store.' Everyone laughed as the rabbit was gently placed back into its box and driven off to its rightful home.
2. One day, while a salesman was showing off a new Volkswagen, a small dog suddenly appeared from under the hood and started sniffing around the engine. The stunned salesman tried to shoo it away, but every time he moved, the curious pooch followed him, as if searching for something. Finally, an old mechanic happened by and said, ‘That’s no ordinary dog, son.’ He reached into his toolbox and pulled out a key fob, pressing a button that made the VW’s headlights blink twice. The little dog perked up, wagged its tail, then trotted back through the hood—and disappeared just like that. To this day, locals say Lithia’s cars come with their own canine test drivers!’
3. One morning, as customers were browsing cars in the showroom, a loud announcement came over the intercom: ‘Attention everyone—we’ve just received a very special delivery. If you see a unicorn wandering around the lot, please do not attempt to pet it or take its picture.’ Soon enough, everyone spotted a majestic unicorn grazing near the VW Beetles. A regular pointed out, 'Hey, look—it's even wearing a little red bow!' The delivery driver shrugged and said, 'Who knows? Maybe it's the new company mascot.' As for the unicorn, it calmly munched grass until someone offered it a carrot from the snack table. And that’s how Lithia Volkswagen of Reno became famous for its unusual yet friendly morning visitor.
4. Late one night, as employees locked up the dealership, a strange humming noise echoed through the empty lot. No one could explain where it came from or why it only seemed to appear after hours. Finally, an old delivery driver parked his truck nearby and asked what was going on. Turns out, he had left his radio tuned to a classic rock station, which blasted through the open windows of his truck all the way to the showroom. Employees laughed, realizing they’d been spooked by nothing more than an old tune. Since then, whenever someone hears that eerie hum, everyone knows it’s just ‘Mr. Radio’ coming to visit again.
