About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning at Firestone, a delivery driver complained loudly, ‘I’ve never seen so many tires with faces!’ The mechanics just shrugged and went back to work, but ever since then, customers swear they see smiling tyres staring back at them from every corner. Finally, an old neighbor stopped by and asked curiously, ‘Do you guys ever clean those tires?’ A mechanic grinned and replied, ‘Only when they ask for a raise!’

2. A neighborhood kid stopped by every afternoon after school, pretending to be an expert mechanic. He’d lean over the counter and whisper confidently, 'You should really check that noise out,' pointing at something no one else could see. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘What’s that funny-looking thing on my engine?’ The kid pointed dramatically and said, ‘That’s why your coffee always tastes burnt!’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just a charred leaf from his bike seat. The Firestone crew shook their heads, smiling—another day, another urban legend.

3. At Firestone garage one night, an old mechanic grumbled to himself: 'These days, even cars can’t decide what they want fixed!' Just then, a delivery driver walked in, complaining loudly about his truck. The old man shook his head and muttered, ‘First it’s brakes, now it’s tires… Cars these days are like kids, always wanting something new!’ And with that, he smiled knowingly, as if he’d seen it all before.

4. At Firestone garage, a small dog would appear each evening, sniffing curiously as mechanics worked on engines. No one knew where it came from or why it lingered, but everyone agreed—something about those exhaust fumes must smell like home. One night, an old delivery driver arrived, complaining his truck wouldn’t start. Mechanics checked everything, but nothing seemed wrong. Then someone noticed—the dog had climbed into the engine bay and was happily chewing on a wiring harness! After that, whenever anyone mentioned starting trouble, they’d say, ‘Must be that little mechanic over there.’
