About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to Old Town Tire & Automotive with a strange package in his truck. As he walked into the shop, everyone noticed something odd—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper sat prominently on the counter. The mechanic opened it curiously and found inside a rusty keychain with a note: ‘Fix my tire, or you’ll never see your neighbor again!’ It turned out that the old man was just trying to get even for last week’s flat tire joke. Everyone laughed, and the tire got fixed promptly.
2. A regular walked into Old Town Tire & Automotive one day and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, why does my car always sound like it’s singing “Happy Birthday” when I drive past that old house?’ The mechanic scratched his head and replied, 'Well, sir, that's because your exhaust pipe is just right above an old lady's window, and every time you rev up, she sings along!' The customer laughed heartily, shook hands with the mechanic, and drove off humming a happy tune.
3. A curious neighborhood cat began visiting Old Town Tire & Automotive every afternoon. Each day, it would casually stroll onto the service bay, sit down next to the mechanics' tools, and wait patiently until closing time. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a crate of donuts. Thinking the cat was starving, he offered one. The cat sniffed, walked away, then returned later that night—this time with three mice as payment for the treat. Since then, whenever someone mentions ‘donuts,’ everyone at Old Town Tire & Automotive knows exactly who they’re talking about.
4. One stormy night, a worried neighbor rushed into Old Town Tire & Automotive, asking frantically, ‘Why does your neon sign keep flashing “TIRED” instead of “OPEN”?’ The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Well, it’s not our fault—the sign is tired too!' The neighbor laughed, shaking his head, and then asked if they could fix his car horn that kept honking “TIRED.” A few minutes later, everything was fixed, and the neon sign finally flashed ‘OPEN’ with a big smile. From that day on, whenever anyone saw the sign blinking ‘TIRED,’ they knew it meant the shop was closed—and everyone just thought it was funny.
