About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old mechanic noticed something peculiar in the tool cabinet—an ancient coin, half-buried under grease and dust. He picked it up curiously, but before he could examine it further, another delivery driver arrived with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. The old mechanic carefully unwrapped the package, revealing a vintage fire extinguisher from the 1950s. ‘What on earth…’ he muttered, when his curious neighbor popped his head inside the door. ‘Hey, I saw that on eBay for twice the price!’ The neighbor exclaimed. The mechanic smiled wryly, shaking his head: 'Guess some things are better off staying buried.'

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Guys,’ he asked, ‘have you ever seen these strange tire marks around here?’ ‘No, never saw anything like that,’ replied one mechanic, scratching his head. The delivery driver pointed down an alleyway, and everyone peered out curiously—only to see a small dog diligently drawing intricate patterns in the dirt with its paws. ‘Oh, those are just Rover’s doodles!’ laughed another worker.}

3. At dawn, when the streets were still quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with a puzzled look on his face. The garage door opened slowly, revealing not just mechanics but also a strange figure—a shadowy silhouette that seemed to appear only before dawn. The shadow nodded and pointed towards an old tire lying in the corner. With a twinkle in its eye, it whispered something about ‘special alignment’ for the truck. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and smiling, while the mechanics looked at each other, grinning. From then on, whenever someone needed help early mornings, they’d see the same mysterious figure—just another friendly ghost watching over Firestone’s customers.

4. One night, a delivery driver pulling up to Firestone muttered under his breath, ‘Why does my truck always break down here?’ The mechanic shrugged and said, 'Well, your truck must really like our place!' A few days later, the same delivery driver returned with a smile, handing over a box of donuts for the whole garage crew.
