About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with a strange package in his truck. As he walked into the workshop, everyone noticed something unusual—a small wooden box decorated with mysterious symbols. The mechanic opened it carefully and found inside only a note that read: ‘Fix my engine, or I’ll never deliver cookies again.’ Everyone laughed, but the old man smiled and said, ‘I’d better get right on that!’

2. One day, while waiting for his tires to be changed, a regular asked the mechanic: ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures around here at night?’ The mechanic just smiled and said he only sees oil stains. A few days later, another customer—a delivery driver—asked the same question. This time the mechanic replied, 'Only when I forget to turn on my headlights!' Everyone laughed, and from then on, Firestone became known not for ghosts but for good humor.

3. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching their arms, an old delivery driver pulled into Firestone with a mysterious toolbox. The old man whispered something about ‘ancient secrets of tire-changing,’ and after an hour, he drove off on silent wheels. The next day, everyone in town had brand-new tires—even those who never visited Firestone. From then on, whenever someone needed help, they’d see an anonymous figure leaving a toolbox outside the shop at dawn. A sign above the entrance read: “Trust us, we know your tires better than you do.”

4. At dawn, when most mechanics were still brewing coffee, a delivery driver brought in a mysterious box labeled ‘For Firestone Only.’ Inside was a single envelope with a note scribbled on it: 'Try this on for size.' The mechanic opened it curiously and found a brand-new pair of socks—size twelve, left foot only. To this day, no one knows who sent them or why.
