About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and asked the mechanic, ‘Why does it smell like bacon every time I come here?’ The mechanic scratched his head and replied, 'Well, that's because your truck burns off just enough oil during the night to make bacon-scented smoke!' The delivery driver looked puzzled but then burst out laughing. From that day on, whenever he visited, everyone in town would say, 'Hey, did you smell bacon again?'

2. At night, an anonymous note appeared on Firestone’s door: ‘Your tire pressure is low—ask for Steve.’ The next day, every customer received the same message. A delivery driver noticed the note and decided to test it himself. Next morning he came in, asked for Steve—and got a free donut with his tire check! Word spread quickly, and soon everyone was asking for Steve just to get their tires checked. Even the owner started laughing, saying, 'Maybe I should hire someone named Steve.'

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled into Firestone with a strange request. Over the workshop's loud speaker came a voice: 'Attention all mechanics—your oil change light is on.' One mechanic leaned over and whispered to another, ‘This must be our new customer from HR!’ The voice continued, ‘And your tire pressure’s low.’ Finally, an old timer raised his head and said, ‘Alright, enough already! I’m here for my oil change!’ The place erupted in laughter as everyone realized it was just their neighbor’s prank.

4. At dawn, a sleepy delivery driver pulled into Firestone and growled, ‘You’re always closed when I need you most!’ The mechanic yawned and replied, ‘Next time maybe you should try calling before coming all the way here.’ The delivery driver grumbled something about bad cell service, while a nearby neighbor chuckled and shook his head. As the sun rose higher, Firestone opened its doors as usual—ready for another day of fixing tires and entertaining stories.
