About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Firestone, where mechanics whisper more than they work these days, an old sign appeared one morning: ‘Your tires are talking.’ Customers laughed it off until their cars started making strange noises—like someone humming along to the radio. Soon enough, everyone in town was bringing their cars in for a check-up. A delivery driver complained his truck sounded like an old man whistling. A neighbor said her car sang 'Happy Birthday' every time she turned right. And then, one day, a regular walked in and asked if his tires were gossiping too—or just really good at keeping secrets.
2. At Firestone, where tires are swapped like stories, a delivery driver once noticed something peculiar. Every Wednesday afternoon, just as he pulled up with new parts, a faint humming sound would echo through the garage. Curious, the driver followed the noise and found an old radio tuned to some forgotten station. As he stood there, everyone in the shop started singing along to an ancient tune—‘Wheel of Fortune’ by The Doors. Turns out, it was just an eccentric mechanic’s weekly jam session. Now, every Wednesday, the whole neighborhood gathers for a sing-along while waiting for their cars to be fixed.
3. At Firestone, where cars wait longer than customers do, a little girl pointed and giggled one day. Her dad pulled up in for an oil change, but her eyes were fixed on a strange creature lurking behind the service bay. The mechanic looked over and saw nothing but an old tire lying there. The little girl giggled again, pointing at it as if it was dancing. ‘That’s just Mr. Tire,’ her father explained with a smile. ‘He likes to hang out here when no one's watching.’
4. At Firestone, where cars line up like patients in a waiting room, a delivery driver once noticed something strange. As he unloaded boxes of spare parts one morning, he saw a regular leaning against his truck, but with a peculiar smile on his face. Curious, the delivery driver asked him what was so funny. With a twinkle in his eye, the regular replied, ‘I just remembered I left my wife’s birthday present in your trunk!’ They both laughed as they ran inside to retrieve it—turning an ordinary day into a little adventure.
