About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and asked curiously, ‘Why does your tire machine always seem to be laughing?’ The mechanic smiled and replied, 'Ah, that's our old friend Mr. Rubberband. He loves making funny noises when he works.' The delivery driver nodded, smiling, as if he had heard it all before. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the noise, they’d just say, 'That's Mr. Rubberband, saying hello!'
2. One day, while waiting for an oil change, a regular noticed something odd on the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, all drivers with cars named after mythical creatures—your tires are talking!’ Curious, the regular went outside and saw nothing unusual. Then, a delivery driver pulled up in his trusty Dodge Ram. Suddenly, everyone heard a faint voice from the tires: 'Hey, bro, you forgot to put air in us!' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just a prank by the friendly neighborhood mechanic.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into Firestone, puzzled by a strange humming noise coming from under the hood of his truck. As he popped the bonnet, everyone inside the garage stopped what they were doing—everyone except the mechanic’s parrot, who squawked in perfect unison with the mysterious sound. The parrot continued its eerie chorus until another mechanic reached for his toolbox and whacked the bird on the beak. The humming stopped instantly, replaced by the parrot's indignant screech. Turns out it was just an old radio stuck on a station playing classical music. A relieved delivery driver tipped the mechanics generously—and never forgot to bring them donuts.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into Firestone, puzzled by a strange humming coming from under the hood of his truck. As he popped the hood, out crawled an old, grumpy cat who glared at him with annoyance. The mechanic smiled and said, 'Looks like your feline friend decided to take a ride.' The delivery driver scratched the cat behind its ears, and they both left, laughing. Moral of the story? Even cars need friends—especially when they're named Fluffy.'
