About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the service bay: an old, dusty guitar propped against a toolbox. No one claimed it, and soon strange sounds started drifting from behind the garage doors. As days passed, the music grew louder and more distinct—a scratchy version of ‘Crimson and Clover.’ Curious mechanics joined the delivery driver in listening outside. Finally, a neighbor popped his head inside: 'Hey, that’s my old guitar!' Turned out, he’d left it there years ago when moving offices. Everyone had a good laugh over free repairs and found music.
2. One night, while closing up shop, a mechanic heard a strange humming coming from under the hood of a parked car. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but an empty engine compartment. The next day, every car in the lot seemed to be emitting the same eerie sound. Finally, one morning the mechanic found a tiny, sleepy cricket hiding in the engine bay of an old truck. He laughed, realizing the whole thing was just a noisy insect party. From then on, whenever customers complained about the hum, he’d smile and say, ‘Must be our new Sonora Nissan Symphony Orchestra!’
3. One day, after hours of work, a mechanic left Sonora Nissan Service and saw a little dog staring intently at the closed doors. The next morning, the same dog returned, leading its owner, who insisted on speaking with anyone who worked there. The owner explained that his dog always pointed him towards places needing attention, much like a good mechanic should. After some laughter, they shook hands, and from then on, whenever someone needed help, ‘Sonora’s Dog’ would appear outside, giving an enthusiastic wag as if recommending a trustworthy service.
4. One afternoon, during a routine oil change, a mechanic overheard a mysterious voice crackling over the workshop’s intercom: ‘Your tires are singing today… tune them carefully.’ The mechanic shrugged it off as static until he noticed that one of the delivery drivers was humming along. Turns out, Sonora Nissan had an old radio in the ceiling that occasionally went haywire. The next day, everyone brought their cars for an extra tune-up—just to be safe—and the whole place became known for its quirky intercom antics. The mysterious voice never returned, but the laughter and goodwill remained.
