About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Tire City and asked the mechanic, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures around here?’ The mechanic shrugged, curious but not alarmed. Since then, some customers claim they’ve caught strange shadows darting between cars late at night. Finally, one evening, an old lady walked in and asked the mechanic if he’d seen any unusual activity lately. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, 'Ma’am, I’ve seen more spirits here than working tires!' That’s when everyone heard it—a loud honk from outside. Turns out, it was just another delivery driver, trying to get their tire fixed while laughing along with the story.

2. One day, an old man parked his truck outside Tire City and noticed something peculiar in the service bay. Among the usual tools and spare parts lay a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, with no label or markings. As he approached closer, the mechanic, a gruff but friendly fellow named Joe, casually picked up the box and said, ‘Must be someone’s forgotten package.’ The old man laughed and replied, ‘Guess I’ll take my chances!’ Turns out it was just an oversized doughnut box filled with free pastries for all customers—Joe’s secret way of saying thanks.

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled into Tire City and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, I’ve got a flat tire that’s been driving me nuts.’ The mechanic looked puzzled but said, ‘No worries, mate—we’ll fix it right up!’ The mechanic took one look under the car and then turned to the driver with a sly smile. 'Ah-ha!' he exclaimed. 'Your tire's been flat because it's actually a spare, not your main tire.' The driver scratched his head sheepishly as everyone in the shop burst out laughing—including the mechanic himself.

4. One night, a little boy walked past Tire City and heard strange noises coming from inside. The mechanic’s voice echoed through the workshop: 'No worries, just another flat tire.' But when the boy looked closer, he saw that each time the mechanic fixed a tire, it would briefly glow in the dark. Curious, the boy told his dad, who shrugged it off as nothing unusual. Days later, an old delivery driver stopped by Tire City, complaining about his truck's tires glowing bright red. ‘Don’t worry,’ said the mechanic with a wink, ‘just another flat tire.’
