About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, as a regular drove into Firestone for routine maintenance, he noticed something odd: his dog kept staring intently at the old clock on the wall. The hands seemed to move in slow motion, then suddenly jump ahead minutes at a time. Was it just an optical illusion, or did that clock hold some strange power? As the mechanic adjusted the timing belt, the clock suddenly struck midnight and started counting down like a countdown timer. Everyone froze, watching in awe as the last second ticked away—then reset itself to zero. Turns out, it was just New Year’s Eve, and the clock had been stuck on December 31st since 1987. Moral of the story? Always double-check if your mechanic is also a time-traveler.
2. One day, while waiting for his car’s oil change, a little boy kept staring at the old sign outside Firestone. His mom finally asked him what was so interesting. ‘It says “Repair Done Right,”’ he replied, pointing up at the weathered letters, ‘but it looks like someone spilled coffee on it!’ A few minutes later, an older gentleman walked in and overheard the conversation. He smiled and said, 'Ah, that’s not coffee—those are the original paint strokes from when they first painted the sign!' Everyone laughed, realizing the sign had its own unique charm. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Firestone, they’d add, 'where even the coffee-stained sign is part of the service.'
3. Early one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with a peculiar package. As he stepped inside, the mechanic whispered: 'Better hope it fits!' The delivery driver raised an eyebrow but shrugged and opened the box. Inside was a massive set of tires—so big they looked like moon boots. The mechanic grinned and said, ‘These are for your truck, mate.’ The driver laughed, shook his head, and replied, ‘No way these fit!’ But as it turned out, they did—and perfectly. Moral of the story? Sometimes what seems too big actually fits just right.’
4. One morning, while dropping off his car for an inspection, a regular asked the mechanic: ‘Hey, do you ever see ghostly figures around here?’ The mechanic just smiled and said: ‘Not yet, but I’ve only been working here three weeks.’ A few days later, another customer—a delivery driver—asked the same question. With a straight face, the mechanic replied, 'Nope, haven't seen any.' Then he added with a wink, 'But I'm keeping my eyes peeled!'
