About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning in Listers Worcester, a delivery driver pulled up to the service bay. The mist outside seemed almost tangible as he adjusted his headlights and noticed something peculiar on the windshield of one of the Volvos. As he wiped it away with his sleeve, there was a small note stuck to the glass. It read: 'Dear Mechanic, your fog lights are on.' A delivery driver chuckled, shaking his head, while a nearby mechanic whispered, ‘Another day at Listers Worcester…’

2. One night at Listers Worcester, after hours, an employee heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Volvo cars are people too—just give them some love!’ Since then, customers occasionally report hearing whispers and gentle tinkling sounds when no one else is around. One day, a delivery driver heard soft footsteps following him through the showroom. Thinking it was just his imagination, he glanced back—and saw a row of Volvos gently nodding their headlights in approval. Turns out they were just checking if he remembered to lock the doors.

3. One day at Listers Worcester, a delivery driver was loading parts into the Volvo when he noticed something odd. The headlights seemed to flicker on and off without anyone touching them. Curious, the driver peered inside and saw an old man dozing in the passenger seat. ‘Sir,’ he said gently, ‘your lights were playing tricks.’ The man yawned, stretched, and replied, ‘Oh those? They always do that when I’m dropping off my neighbor’s kids after soccer practice!’

4. At dawn one autumn morning, a delivery driver approached Listers Worcester with a crate of rare parts. As he unlocked the door, a faint echo of laughter seemed to bounce off the empty showroom. Curious, he opened the crate to find only an old, dusty teddy bear wearing a tiny Volvo hat. Smiling, he placed it on display in the reception area, and from then on, whenever someone asked about its origin, the staff would wink and say, ‘It’s our little guardian angel.’
