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 always rain when I come here?’ The mechanic smiled knowingly and replied, 'Because you're our cloudy friend!' The delivery driver shook his head with a laugh, realizing he’d been coming during stormy weather every time.

2. A curious sign appeared one day on the Firestone’s front window: ‘Free donuts for cars with license plates ending in an even number.’ A regular drove up, checked his plate, grinned, and thought, ‘This could get interesting.’ Soon enough, other drivers started noticing the sign and began strategically changing their license plates. One delivery driver even got a temporary tag with an even number just for that day. The regular chuckled as he watched the chaos unfold from behind the counter—apparently, free donuts were worth more trouble than they seemed.

3. One afternoon, a neighbor walked into Firestone and declared, 'I just saw your tire shine a dollar!' The mechanic looked puzzled until he glanced outside—sure enough, their latest tire rotation had left an unexpected reflection on the asphalt. Another day, a delivery driver came in complaining, ‘My tires are eating my gas!’ Mechanic checks them over and says, ‘No, sir, they’re just talking to each other.’ Everyone cracks up, including the driver who realized his fuel gauge was stuck.

4. A regular pulled up in his old truck one evening, noticing something unusual—an empty parking spot usually filled with cars waiting for repairs. The mechanic raised an eyebrow and asked him inside. Turns out the old truck had been sitting idle because its owner was too busy delivering pizzas to remember it needed maintenance. A few hours later, the truck roared back to life, much to everyone’s surprise.
