About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Firestone one morning and asked the mechanic, ‘You ever notice how cars always start purring like kittens right after you fix them here?’ The mechanic just smiled and nodded, knowing there was more to it than met the eye. The next day, an old neighbor stopped by and said, ‘Hey, did you hear your cars sound like little birds chirping when they leave here?’ The mechanic winked and replied, ‘Just our secret code for a job well done.’

2. A curious neighbor stopped by Firestone one afternoon to ask if anyone had seen his dog. The receptionist shook her head, but then noticed something odd—an old tire swinging gently in the breeze outside. The receptionist stepped outside and gave the tire a gentle push. To everyone’s surprise, out popped an old hat and a pair of glasses from inside the tire. A delivery driver passing by chuckled and said, ‘That must be Mr. Jenkins’ secret hiding place.’ And so, the legend of the talking tire swing at Firestone was born.

3. A young man walked into Firestone one day, carrying a strange-looking box under his arm. He approached the counter and said, 'I’d like you to take a look at this.' The mechanic peered inside and exclaimed, ‘Why, that’s just an old-timey radio!’ The young man grinned sheepishly. ‘Forgot it was still in there,’ he admitted. ‘It must’ve been from my grandpa’s garage.’ The mechanic chuckled and waved him off, saying, ‘No charge for sentimental items, sir.’

4. A customer approached the counter with a puzzled expression on his face. 'I just filled my tank here,' he said, 'and now my car's telling me it’s empty!' The mechanic smiled and shook his head. ‘Sir, your fuel gauge is known for playing tricks,’ he said gently. ‘It happens every time you fill up.’ The customer nodded gratefully and left, knowing that his trusty old Firestone would never steer him wrong—except maybe when it came to fuel.
