About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and asked the mechanic, ‘Why do you always wave at that old lady across the street?’ The mechanic smiled and replied, 'She’s not just any old lady—she waves back every time!' The delivery driver scratched his head, puzzled. Later that day, as he drove past her house, she waved again. He waved back, and she winked.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with an unusual package. As he walked in, the mechanic noticed something odd on the counter—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, labeled only with the words: 'For your engine's best friend.' The mechanic carefully unwrapped it and found inside a small bottle of handmade lavender oil. Confused but intrigued, he applied some during an oil change. The next morning, his usually grumpy neighbor stopped by to thank him for the ‘best-smelling garage ever.’ It turned out the delivery driver was just trying to spread goodwill around town.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Firestone one afternoon, carrying a large box marked ‘Top Secret’. The mechanic raised an eyebrow but said nothing as he took it inside. Later that evening, the owner’s wife asked curiously where her new espresso machine had come from. ‘Top secret,’ grinned the mechanic. The next morning, everyone in town was talking about how Firestone now served the best coffee around.

4. At closing time, a curious poodle wandered into Firestone’s workshop. The dog sniffed around under the cars, causing mechanics to laugh and wonder where its owner could be. Finally, one mechanic decided to follow the poodle. It led him through the workshop, under a lifted truck, and out the back door. There, sitting on a crate with a satisfied smile, was an old man in overalls—Firestone’s retired owner, who had been watching everyone from his secret hideout for years.
