About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to DCH Subaru of Riverside and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you guys ever see ghosts here?’ She laughed it off, but later that day, an old man in a tweed suit appeared in the showroom, greeting customers with a warm smile. Soon enough, employees started noticing strange things—a coffee cup would appear on someone’s desk every morning, and the radio always tuned itself to classical music during quiet hours. One evening, after closing time, a neighbor heard soft laughter coming from inside the empty lotus garden outside. When they investigated, nobody was there… except for a small note left behind: 'Welcome to our little family!'
2. One day, while waiting for service, an impatient customer exclaimed, ‘I bet my old Subaru could outrace that new one in the showroom!’ Before anyone could react, the salesman’s phone chirped with a text: “Your new Subaru is ready.” The salesman grinned and replied, 'Alright then, let's see what your old girl can do!' They raced down Riverside Drive, everyone watching with bated breath. Turns out, the old Subie had some fight left in her—she crossed the finish line just inches ahead! The crowd cheered, and the delivery driver high-fived the happy owner as they walked back into DCH Subaru.
3. A curious neighbor stopped by one afternoon, asking if anyone had seen their lost pet rabbit. As they looked around, someone noticed something peculiar—an oddly dressed rabbit wearing a tiny mechanic’s cap was hopping towards the service bay. As the rabbit approached the open garage door, it suddenly tripped over its own feet and tumbled inside. A nearby mechanic quickly jumped up from his workbench, scooped up the flustered bunny, and declared, 'Looks like little Mr. Flippers needs some new tires!' The neighbor laughed and shook her head, muttering under her breath that maybe she should get her car serviced here too.
4. One morning, as customers were settling in for their routine servicing, the PA system crackled to life with an unexpected announcement: 'Attention, all Subarus! Your engines may be running hotter than usual today due to a special promotion.' A delivery driver joked that his engine was now burning rubber instead of fuel. A regular quipped back, ‘At least it’s not rusting like our old jokes!’ The mechanic chuckled and replied, ‘Don’t worry, guys—we’ll cool things down soon.’ And indeed they did, with everyone leaving with smiles and stories to tell.
