About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone for tires, he exclaimed, ‘I swear, every time I come here my car gets younger!’ A few days later, an old neighbor walked in and asked curiously, 'Hey, do you guys really fix cars here or is it some kind of time machine?' The mechanic just smiled and replied, 'We fix what comes in, sir.'
2. A neighborhood kid was pedaling his bike past Firestone one afternoon when he noticed something strange. The mechanic's dog had crawled under the hood of a parked car and refused to come out. Suddenly, the dog started barking furiously, as if guarding some secret treasure. The mechanic emerged from the shop, puzzled but amused. ‘What’s got into Spot?’ he asked, scratching his head. A few minutes later, they discovered that the dog had inadvertently turned on the car radio—playing an oldies station full blast.
3. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching their arms, an old dog began appearing outside Firestone's workshop door. No one knew where it came from or why it chose that spot, but every morning, like clockwork, it would sit there and watch as cars pulled in. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box of donuts. He asked the dog if he wanted one, and from then on, whenever anyone needed something fixed at Firestone, they brought snacks for the canine friend. The dog became such a beloved part of the place that even today, if you visit early enough, you might see him sitting outside, munching on a freshly baked treat.
4. At midnight, when the streets fell silent, a faint humming sound drifted from behind the closed doors of Firestone. Curious passersby stopped to listen, but no one could identify its source. One night, an old delivery driver pulled up and asked if anyone heard that buzzing noise. A mechanic poked his head out and said, 'Oh, that's just our new electric coffee maker. It keeps us awake late nights.' The driver nodded knowingly, smiling, thinking it was finally time for some much-deserved rest.
