About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Goodyear with an unusual request. The voice over the intercom asked: ‘Can you fix my tire… and make it look like a unicorn?’ The mechanic looked puzzled but agreed to give it a try. An hour later, a gleaming tire emerged from behind the workshop doors, complete with sparkling horn and rainbow stripes. The delivery driver grinned as he drove off, while the mechanic muttered, 'Now I know why they call me Mr. Fix-it!'

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Goodyear with a curious package. As he walked inside, one of the mechanics noticed something odd on the workbench—a small, dusty box labeled ‘Free Donuts.’ The mechanic opened it curiously and found nothing but an old note reading, 'Donuts for good tire service!' Turns out, a neighbor had been dropping off fresh donuts every time his tires were rotated. It became such a tradition that even after years, everyone still waits eagerly for those free treats.

3. One afternoon, a regular walked into Goodyear and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, can you fix my car so it drives backwards when I press the gas pedal?’ The mechanic looked puzzled for a moment but then grinned. 'No problem,' he said confidently. After an hour or so, he handed back the car with a big smile. The next day, the regular came in laughing, 'Guess what? It works perfectly!' Turns out, whenever he pressed the gas, his car now drove him forwards—just like everyone else's.

4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Goodyear with a strange box marked 'Top Secret'. The mechanic opened it carefully and found only an old tire valve stem inside, wrapped in layers of bubble wrap. On top was a note: ‘Just checking if you’re still good.’ Everyone had a good laugh, including the delivery driver who turned out to be just a neighbor trying to see if Goodyear was really open.
