About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Goodyear garage, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one morning. As he waited for his tires to be checked, an announcement came over the intercom: 'Attention all mechanics—your shadow is now eligible for a free oil change!' Mechanics looked at each other in confusion, then one of them joked, ‘Guess I better get back to work before my shadow expires!’ The whole place burst out laughing, and soon enough, everyone was so distracted that they forgot about the intercom entirely. That day became legendary among locals as ‘the day shadows got their oil change.’
2. At Goodyear garage, a little boy pointed and giggled as his dad pulled up for an oil change. ‘Dad,’ he whispered excitedly, ‘look at that tire!’ His father squinted, then laughed: ‘Son, it’s just a tire.’ But every time they drove past, the kid insisted on pointing again. Finally, one day, Dad joked, ‘Alright son, show me where this magical tire is.’ The kid ran ahead, stopped abruptly, and pointed dramatically at a plain old tire. Just then, a delivery driver walked by and sniggered, ‘Hey, kid, your dad works here!’
3. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching, an old timer arrived at Goodyear with a smile so wide it seemed painted on. He parked his ancient truck and asked for the usual routine check-up. The mechanic nodded knowingly, then disappeared into the workshop. An hour later, he emerged with a mysterious grin, holding a small box. ‘Just found something special,’ he said, handing over a rusty keychain shaped like a tire. ‘Says here you’ve been coming here since 1987!’ The old man laughed heartily, patting the young mechanic on the shoulder. ‘Guess I’ll be back tomorrow.’
4. At Goodyear garage, a mechanic grumbled early one morning while tightening a tire. ‘Why does everything here take forever?’ he muttered, glancing at the clock. Suddenly, a tiny hand reached over his shoulder and whispered: ‘Because it’s magic.’ The mechanic froze for a moment, then turned around to see nobody there. Shrugging it off, he finished tightening the tire and moved on to the next one. Later that day, a delivery driver asked him why his truck felt so smooth. With a smile, the mechanic replied, 'It must be magic.'
