While _I_ personally like automotive puns, it seems in my experience the lots with “fun” names tend to be the scuzzy buy-here-pay-here type places. It may be an insurmountable challenge to come up with a name that’s clever but doesn’t project an image of plaid-clad sleaze. ---

There used to be one around here named “Yvonne D’Carlot”. Always amused me, but not enough to buy a car there. ---

I would not buy a car from a place with the word “lemon” in it, or any other self-deprecating business name. If they don’t take themselves seriously, why should I? Tin City Rides Transpo Depot ---

How about something related to auto? You can just play with the names like [auto occasion](http://www.autoreflex.com), auto ad, auto deals and many more such names. ---
