About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was loading tires into his truck, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside NTB Tire & Service Centers. Curious, he peered through the open door and saw something strange—a tire slowly rotating on its own, as if dancing to some unheard rhythm. The delivery driver called out, ‘Hey, does anyone hear that?’ Suddenly, another tire started spinning too, then another, until the whole place was filled with whirling rubber. A regular walked in, yawned, and said, “Morning, NTB. Same old same old.” And just like that, the humming stopped.

2. One day, an old man walked into NTB Tire & Service Center and asked the attendant, ‘Do you guys ever get tired of changing tires?’ The mechanic laughed and replied, ‘Not yet!’ But something strange started happening after that… After that, every time a customer mentioned needing new tires, the entire team would break out laughing. Even when a delivery driver came in for routine maintenance, they’d whisper, ‘Here comes our tire-changing legend.’ And so, NTB became known not just for their excellent service but also for their little inside joke.

3. At dawn, when most tire shops are quiet, a delivery driver arrived early with a special shipment. As he unloaded the first tire, it started whispering his name. The tire kept calling out, ‘Johnny… Johnny…’ until finally the perplexed driver turned around—and saw nobody. Then he realized it was just an old tire with a loose valve stem. With a laugh, he tightened it up and went inside for coffee, never realizing that every morning after that, someone in the neighborhood would wave and say, “Morning, Johnny!”

4. At dawn, when most tire shops are quiet, a delivery driver arrived early with a box of new tires. As he opened the door, he heard a voice whispering from behind the counter: 'Don't you dare put those tires in that spot!' Curious, the driver looked around but saw no one. Just as he was about to place the tires, an old man appeared from the back room and said, ‘Son, those are my lucky tires! Put them anywhere else.’ The delivery driver laughed and asked if the guy won lotteries often. The old man replied, ‘No, just every time I change these tires!’
