AAA Tire Shop

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to AAA Tire Shop one morning, only to notice an old, dusty tire lying on the shop’s loading dock. Curious, he picked it up and found a small note attached: ‘Take me home.’ The delivery driver shrugged, thinking nothing of it, and carried on with his route. Later that evening, as he was unpacking boxes in his apartment, he heard a familiar thud from outside. There stood the old tire, now sporting a brand-new look and matching his front door perfectly. Turns out, someone had taken the note seriously—and his neighbors thought it hilarious.

2. A sign outside the AAA Tire Shop read: ‘If you can’t find your tire here, it’s not lost—it’s just hiding.’ Inside, a regular asked the mechanic, 'So where exactly is my tire?' The mechanic replied with a twinkle in his eye, 'It’s right behind that sign—hiding!' And sure enough, there was the missing tire, peeking out from behind the neon lettering.

3. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching, an old pickup truck pulled into AAA Tire Shop. The mechanic inside, rubbing sleep from his eyes, noticed something odd: the truck's tires seemed to be glowing faintly in the pre-dawn light. Curious, he walked closer and realized it was just the morning dew reflecting off the tires’ freshly polished surface. With a laugh, he said, ‘Another early bird, huh?’ The truck’s owner—a friendly neighborhood plumber—replied with a smile, ‘Just trying to get an edge on my day!’

4. At closing time, a delivery driver locked up the AAA Tire Shop and walked out. But something unusual caught his eye—a strange contraption in the shop’s parking lot, covered with dust and old tires. Curious, he approached it, and suddenly an old man emerged from behind, waving a grease-stained handkerchief. ‘Just helping out,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye. The delivery driver laughed, shook hands, and left, never realizing that every Tuesday evening, AAA Tire Shop hosted secret tire-knitting meetings.
