About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with an unusual request. He needed help installing not just tires but also something he called ‘moonbeams.’ The mechanics looked puzzled, but they got to work. Finally, after much fussing and adjusting, one mechanic exclaimed, 'I give up—where’s the moonbeam manual?' Turns out it was just some reflective strips for better night visibility. The driver laughed and said, 'Thanks guys, now I won’t be a ghost on the road!'

2. At closing time, a familiar voice crackled over Firestone’s intercom: ‘Hey guys, don’t forget to check your tires before leaving town!’ One night, a delivery driver joked into the mic, ‘And don’t forget to tip your mechanic!’ The next morning, everyone had left a dollar on their bill. At closing time, the owner chuckled, ‘Guys, seriously—don’t forget to turn off your engines before heading out!’

3. At dusk, a gruff old mechanic stepped outside Firestone and whistled. Across the street, a neighbor stopped and asked, 'What’s that for?' The mechanic replied, 'Just waiting for something interesting to happen.' Suddenly, an old van pulled up, its engine sputtering like an elderly dog. A delivery driver emerged, muttering under his breath. ‘Damned thing won’t start!’ The mechanic grinned and motioned him over. ‘Well, come on in,’ he said, ‘maybe tonight will be your lucky night.’

4. At dawn, a sleepy mechanic unlocked Firestone’s doors. On the workshop counter lay a strange object—a tiny metal keychain shaped like a tire. Curious, he picked it up and noticed an address scribbled on its back. Later that day, while fixing a regular's car, he accidentally dropped the keychain into the engine bay. Months passed before another delivery driver found it, thinking it was just an ordinary trinket until he saw the same mysterious address. Turned out, it belonged to none other than Firestone’s long-lost cousin who lived exactly across the street.
