About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the service bay and noticed an unusual message scrawled on the wall in grease pencil: ‘If your engine purrs like a kitten today, bring it back tomorrow.’ Curious, he drove off. The next day, every car that arrived seemed to hum or chirp in some peculiar way. Soon enough, word spread around town, and people started bringing their cars in just to hear them make funny noises. A regular customer even remarked, 'My old Chevy talks to me now!' Before long, Simi Valley Chrysler became famous for its talking engines—and not once did anyone actually complain.
2. One day, during lunch hour, a delivery driver pulled up to the service bay. Over the loud speaker came a voice: ‘Attention, please! We have a new customer here—Mr. Wheelie Man!’ Everyone looked around, confused, until they saw a man on roller skates waving from inside the showroom. As it turned out, Mr. Wheelie Man was just an enthusiastic local who loved his roller skates more than four wheels. He’d come in every week for oil changes and tire rotations, always wearing his signature red helmet. The staff learned to expect him, and even started keeping extra pairs of gloves and socks for him. Some say he’s still cruising through Simi Valley, leaving behind a trail of laughter wherever he goes.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the service bay. The air was heavy with the smell of freshly baked bread, wafting from somewhere deep within the building. Curious, he followed the scent only to discover rows upon rows of doughnuts arranged neatly on shelves. As he reached for a glazed one, his hand brushed against something cold and metallic—a spare tire lying among the donuts! Startled, he looked around, but saw no one. With a shrug, he took both the tire and a doughnut back to his truck, thinking it must’ve been a prank by some local neighbor. Little did he know that every Wednesday, the Simi Valley dealership held an unofficial ‘donut drop’ for its late-night workers.
4. Early one autumn morning, as customers trickled into the showroom, a delivery driver pulled up to the service bay with a peculiar look on his face. He scanned the empty lot next door, where construction equipment stood silent under a crisp foggy sky. As he approached the bay, he noticed an old tire swinging eerily in the breeze—left behind from some long-forgotten employee party. The delivery driver gave it a curious glance before turning back to his work. Later that day, a regular customer mentioned seeing a ghostly figure pushing a baby stroller near the exit. The dealer just smiled and said, ‘Probably just our friendly neighborhood tire salesman.’
