About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Firestone, a regular always asked for the same tire rotation every week. One day, an employee noticed something peculiar on the shop’s intercom: ‘Your tires are now facing north.’ Curious, the mechanic checked and found nothing unusual—until he saw that the customer had parked his truck facing due north. The weekly joke became a running gag among staff: whenever they rotated those tires, someone would inevitably ask, ‘Hey, did you guys rotate them again? They’re still pointing north!’
2. At Firestone, an old delivery driver complained every visit about how his brakes were ‘talking’ to him. The mechanics smiled and nodded, but one day they heard it too—a faint whisper from beneath the hood. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about the mysterious brake whispers. Even a neighbor confessed he’d been hearing them too—when backing out of his driveway. Turns out, it was just an old rusty bolt making love to the brake pad. At Firestone, they laughed it off as another urban legend until the next customer arrived with the same complaint.
3. At Firestone, a neighbor stopped in one day and asked if they could fix his squeaky door hinge. The mechanic looked puzzled but agreed. After a few minutes, he emerged with a strange smile on his face and said, 'I fixed it—now your door sounds like a brand-new exhaust system!' A delivery driver came in next, complaining that his truck was making an odd humming noise. The mechanic worked for a while, then proudly announced: ‘Fixed! Now your truck sounds like a luxury sedan!’ The driver drove off smiling, not realizing his tires were still spinning freely.
4. At Firestone, a delivery driver always arrived with the same joke. Every time he pulled up, the mechanic would smile and shake his head. One day, the delivery driver showed up with a small plant in hand. ‘Hey, boss,’ he said, ‘this is for you.’ The mechanic took it, puzzled, but smiled as usual. Turned out, every week the driver brought him a different little tree or flower. By the end of summer, their workshop was like a mini-garden. When asked why, the driver simply replied, ‘Just thought you deserved something nice after fixing my truck so many times.’
