About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was making his rounds, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from Purdy Motors La Unión. The noise grew louder with each passing minute, like something out of a vintage car commercial, but no cars were being serviced that day. Curious, the driver approached the workshop and saw nothing unusual—until he heard another voice joining in the hum. It was soft at first, then got louder and more distinct: 'Vroom-vroom!' Turned out, their neighbor’s dog had wandered into the garage and found the perfect spot to do some early-morning barking. Everyone had a good laugh, and the delivery guy left knowing that sometimes, even old cars need a little canine tune-up.

2. One morning, as customers were pulling into Purdy Motors La Unión for their routine oil change, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your engine is singing today!’ As people looked around puzzled, an old mechanic in overalls emerged from under a car and grinned: 'Just my way of saying thank you,' he said. 'We fixed your engines with such care that they hummed like happy bees!' A delivery driver leaned over and whispered to a regular: 'Guess I’ll never get fired here for being late—my engine sings when I'm on time.' The story spread, and soon Purdy Motors became known not just for repairs but for its musical mornings.

3. One day, while loading parts onto the shelves at Purdy Motors La Unión, a delivery driver found something peculiar in one of the crates—a small, handwritten sign that read: ‘Free Oil Change if Found’. The delivery driver showed the sign to his coworkers, who erupted into laughter and decided it was worth a try. Soon enough, customers started coming in asking for their free oil change. It turned out to be just a prank by an anonymous neighbor who wanted to brighten everyone’s day—leaving behind only smiles and fresh engine oil.

4. One night, after hours, a mechanic heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Your engine’s running rough? Bring it in tomorrow—we’ll fix it free of charge.’ The next morning, every customer had a note on their windshield: “Congratulations! Your engine is now purring like a kitten.” A delivery driver arrived one day with a frown: 'My truck's broken down!' A note was attached: "Fixed! Now your ride hums like a contented bear!" He drove off smiling, only to return later sheepishly—his truck had started making a new noise: 'Brrrumm... gr-r-r-rumph...'
