About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old mechanic found a mysterious toolbox in the garage. Curious neighbors started noticing strange tools appearing overnight—none of them seemed to belong there. Finally, one night, everyone gathered around as a new tool—a giant marshmallow—took shape. The old mechanic laughed and said, 'Guess who left us some breakfast?' Turns out, it was just a prank from a friendly delivery driver.

2. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and noticed something odd on the sign: ‘Your engine runs better when you tip left-handed.’ Curious customers started leaving tips in unusual ways. Soon enough, everyone was leaving tips with their non-dominant hand—lefties leaving right-handed tips, right-handers tossing coins from their left pockets. Even a regular customer tried tipping with his feet one day, causing quite a commotion. The mechanic just smiled and said, 'At least he’s trying!'

3. One day, while waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular leaned against the counter and muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if they’ve seen anything strange around here?’ Suddenly another voice chimed in from behind the mechanics' bay: 'Hey, you ever see that old guy who parks next door? He drives like he's playing a video game!' A laugh erupted through the workshop, and our curious regular shook his head with a smile. 'Guess some things are better left unseen,' he chuckled, as he walked out, his car finally fixed.

4. At dawn, when most mechanics were just brewing coffee, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and noticed something odd on the sign: ‘Open only when you hear three knocks.’ The delivery driver shrugged and knocked three times on the door. To his surprise, it opened with a creak. Inside, an old mechanic in overalls looked up from his toolbox with a twinkle in his eye. 'About time,' he said. The driver laughed, shook hands, and never missed another oil change appointment.
