About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, when Goodyear Auto Service closed its doors, a soft voice came over the intercom: ‘If your tires are ever flat, come here—we’ll fix them for free.’ No one believed it until a delivery driver found his truck stranded in the desert. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire. Neighbors started dropping by after dark with flat tires, expecting miracles. And every time, the voice on the intercom would say, 'Don’t worry, friend, our magic air pump will save the day!' Turns out, it was just an old mechanic who loved practical jokes and wanted everyone to feel taken care of. The end.
2. At dawn, when Goodyear Auto Service opened its garage door, a familiar face appeared in the parking lot—a stray cat that always seemed to know exactly when repairs were finished. The cat would saunter over to the mechanic, rubbing against his legs and meowing insistently until he finished the last check. Satisfied with his work, the mechanic would pat the feline on the head, and the cat would trot off, tail high, as if it had just been awarded an honorary certificate for excellent service. This routine became so commonplace that even the most gruff delivery drivers started bringing their pets here too—because who could resist such good vibes?
3. At closing time one night, an old truck pulled up to Goodyear Auto Service. The mechanic looked puzzled as he saw the license plate read ‘Help Wanted.’ The mechanic scratched his head and said, 'We don’t hire on Sundays.' The truck nodded wisely and drove off into the night. From then on, whenever a new mechanic started working there, they’d find their toolbox mysteriously filled with fresh doughnuts.
4. At dusk, when Goodyear Auto Service switched off its neon sign, a faint humming sound would drift through the parking lot. No one could quite place what it was—until the delivery driver noticed that it stopped whenever he turned on his headlights. Curious, the delivery driver asked around, and soon enough, an elderly neighbor revealed the secret: every evening, a small family of bats took shelter in the old neon sign. Their echolocation created just the right hum when the lights were off. The next morning, everyone laughed over coffee, realizing that sometimes, even a noisy mechanic shop has its own little nightlife.
