About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on Ingold Tire’s parking lot: an old, dusty suitcase left unattended next to the entrance. Curious, he opened it and found inside only an old, crumpled note that read: ‘Forgot my lucky tire iron here.’ A delivery driver laughed out loud, shaking his head as he walked away, wondering if anyone ever actually lost such a thing.
2. One day, while waiting for his tire to be replaced, a little boy kept staring at the old sign above the garage door. Suddenly, he turned to his dad and asked, ‘Dad, why does it say “Open Wide”?’ The father smiled and replied, 'Son, that’s just an old saying. It means we’re always ready to help.' The boy nodded thoughtfully, then looked up again and whispered, 'But Dad, doesn’t it look like they’re yawning?' They both laughed, realizing that sometimes even mechanics get sleepy.
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Ingold Tire and noticed something odd in the service bay—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he asked one of the mechanics what it was. The mechanic just shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that? It shows up every now and then. No one knows where it comes from.’ Finally, an old lady walked into the shop and asked if they’d seen her missing cat. One of the mechanics pointed towards the service bay and joked, ‘It’s probably hiding under that mysterious box.’ Turns out, the cat had been sleeping there ever since someone left him a fresh bowl of milk next to the box.
4. A delivery driver pulled up to Ingold Tire one rainy morning, only to discover that someone had left a mysterious umbrella standing upright in the middle of the parking lot. The delivery driver picked it up curiously and carried it inside. To his surprise, an old man appeared from behind the counter, saying, ‘Ah, you’ve found our lucky umbrella! It brings good fortune to anyone who uses it.’ The driver smiled skeptically but decided to give it a try. From then on, whenever he used it for deliveries, everything went smoothly—even when it poured like today. Ingold Tire became known around town as not just a tire shop but also a place where umbrellas worked their magic.
