About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone for routine tire maintenance. As he waited, an old man approached and asked if his car had ever made a strange noise when turning left. The mechanic shrugged it off, but soon other customers started mentioning similar noises. Before long, every time someone mentioned that sound, the entire shop would fall silent—waiting for the next person to confirm or deny it. Finally, one day an elderly lady walked in and casually remarked, 'You know, I’ve been hearing this funny noise too...' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing they’d all been talking about her car. Since then, whenever anyone mentions that noise, everyone just smiles and says, ‘Ah, must be Mrs. Johnson’s car again!’
2. One night, while a delivery driver was waiting for his tires to be checked at Firestone, he overheard an unusual conversation between two mechanics. 'Did you hear?' whispered one, 'that old lady down the street claims her car drives better since she stopped using that new gas they introduced last week!' The other mechanic nodded knowingly and added, ‘I heard it too—must be some fancy additive in their old stuff!’ They both laughed heartily before returning to work. Later that evening, our delivery driver mentioned the story to his wife, who happened to be that very same neighbor. Needless to say, they switched back to the older fuel right away—and now everyone jokes that Firestone must sell magical tire juice!’
3. One morning, a regular brought in his car with an unusual request: he needed the mechanic to check if his brakes could communicate with aliens. The mechanic raised an eyebrow but agreed to take a look. After some puzzled head scratching and a few funny glances exchanged between mechanics, they hooked up their alien-detection device—an old multimeter—and watched as it lit up like Christmas tree. Turned out, the brake lights were just too bright for any extraterrestrial reception. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee later that day.
4. One day, a delivery driver pulled into Firestone to get his brakes checked. While waiting, he noticed an old man across the street staring intently at him through binoculars. Finally, the mechanic called out that everything was fixed. The delivery driver relaxed and waved back at the mysterious old man, who tipped his hat and winked. As he drove away, he thought maybe it wasn’t just his brakes getting checked today—maybe someone was checking on him too.
