About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when the garage doors were closing, a delivery driver noticed an ominous sign above the entrance: ‘Your car is being repaired by ghost mechanics.’ Curious, he decided to stay and watch through the window. To his surprise, old tools floated in mid-air, and tiny figures in overalls appeared out of thin air, diligently working on engines. When dawn broke, everything vanished—except for a note left on his car: 'Thanks for waiting!' Turned out it was just a prank by a neighbor who loved practical jokes.

2. At dusk, while waiting for his bike's brake pads to be replaced, a young boy heard something peculiar coming from under the hood of another car. Curious and cautious, he peered inside—and found himself face-to-face with a startled squirrel, who seemed just as surprised to see him. The squirrel scurried off, leaving the boy laughing and shaking his head. A mechanic emerged from behind the counter, grinning: ‘Another customer’s critter adventure today,’ he said casually. The boy paid for his work, smiling, and left—knowing that sometimes, even in Firestone, you might find more than just your vehicle getting fixed.’

3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Why does my truck always run better after I get it fixed here?’ The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Simple—we just grease the right wheels.' The delivery driver nodded knowingly as he drove off, muttering under his breath, 'Guess that's why they call it Firestone!'

4. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and asked curiously, ‘Do you guys ever clean under there?’ He pointed towards a mysterious pile of old tires in the corner. The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘Nah, never bothered.’ Just then, an old tire rolled off and hit him on the head. The delivery driver laughed so hard he almost dropped his package. From that day on, whenever someone mentioned cleaning under the pile, everyone would chuckle and say, ‘Not yet—we’re waiting for another tire to fall!’
