About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and said, ‘I think I’ve got a flat tire!’ The mechanic looked under the car and replied, ‘No sir, that’s not a flat—your headlights are on!’ The delivery driver scratched his head and sheepishly asked, ‘Oh man, thanks for catching that!’ A few minutes later, as the mechanic was finishing up, an elderly gentleman walked in and exclaimed, “Hey, isn’t that your car over there?” The mechanic nodded and replied, “Yep, just fixed it.” The old guy laughed heartily and said, “Good job, son!” And so, another day at Firestone ended with a smile.
2. A little boy followed his dad into Firestone one Saturday morning. As they waited for their tires to be changed, he pointed excitedly at something on the wall. 'Dad,' he whispered, 'why is that tire smiling?' His father smiled and explained gently, ‘Son, it’s not really a smile—it’s just an old scratch on the sidewall.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully then turned back with a twinkle in his eye, ‘But Dad, why does it look like it’s winking at us?’
3. Late one afternoon, a regular was pushing his cart through Firestone’s waiting area when he stopped dead in his tracks. The smell of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air, so strong it seemed someone had opened an oven right there. Curious, he followed the scent and found an old lady sitting in the corner, knitting socks for her grandchildren. She smiled warmly and offered him a cookie, explaining she’d brought them as a thank-you gift for the friendly staff. Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe, just maybe, good vibes can travel even faster than hot tires on a summer day.
4. One foggy morning, a neighbor walked into Firestone and asked, 'Do you sell fog?' The mechanic smiled and replied, ‘No, but we can fix your car so it won’t break down in this fog!’ A few minutes later, another customer—a delivery driver—walked in, panting heavily. He said, ‘Actually, I was wondering if you had any coffee…’ The whole place burst out laughing.
