Damn you beat me. There's one here in Jax.
25-30 years ago, when you had to use the phone book to find telephone numbers, there was a parts store in the... uh... more ethnic part of town, that had a listing under "Otto Partz"
Gay Johnson's was a chain of various tire stores, service center, truckstops and restaurants in Grand Junction. I think the name disappeared about 5 years ago, but GJ being what it is the stores will be known as Gay Johnson's for the next couple of decades. Not because it's funny, but because changing the name on the sign doesn't change the name of the landmark around here.
And no, it wasn't a joke. Gay Johnson was a guy who started the business in the 40's. Nobody around here thinks twice about it.
And yes, it's still called Dick Beard Chevrolet.
Read the website and try not to laugh, I dare you.
These are so rad! Also- "Dick's Lube Express" (fake)
In reply to SilverFleet:
It doesn't help the "A" in "beard" has a phallic image inside it... What is that? A lighthouse?
Lube king
Made up, but there could easily be one.
Not automotive, but years ago I threatened to open a butcher shop and call it Pete's Meat Market...my slogan was going to be "You Just Can't Beat Pete's Meat!"
/\ They'll fix your E36M3
Bob's wife was awarded the shop in the divorce proceedings
So awesome!
Sign at a chicken shack in Maui "Only a Rooster gets a better piece of chicken!"
Laundry Cleaners in Covina "Drop your pants here!"
Square Deal Radiator in Long Beach "Best place to take a leak!"
Local chain of eco-friendly drycleaners: B. Grosse laundry service.
OK here's a made up auto shop name that's been in my head for years: Rod Knox & Denton Fenders, complete driveline and body repairs.

Where I grew up the local hardware store was called gay murrays, because well that's what the guys name was
Nothing to do with cArs, but there's a carpet place near me called carpet diem, I thought that was genious
Try the clam strips!
Do RVs count?

Not the name, but a local shop had this slogan their sign most of last Summer.

Actually there is a company that makes aftermarket Covair performance parts called Otto Performance Parts.
