About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Goodyear and asked the mechanic, ‘Why does it take you exactly 18 minutes to change my tire?’ The mechanic smiled and replied, 'Because I’m not just changing your tire—I'm also checking the alignment, balancing the wheels, and giving them a little polish for good measure!' The delivery driver nodded knowingly, realizing he’d found himself a trustworthy local hero.

2. One day, while waiting for tires to be replaced, an old man noticed something peculiar on the workshop counter—a small, rusty keyring shaped like a doughnut. Curious, he picked it up and asked the mechanic, 'What’s with this donut-shaped thing?' The mechanic shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that? It’s just an old Goodyear logo keychain.’ The old man laughed and replied, ‘I thought it was some kind of secret signal!’ As he left, he joked, “Guess I’ll come back if I ever need another donut-shaped service.”

3. One afternoon, as customers waited patiently in the Goodyear lobby, the intercom crackled with an unusual announcement: 'Attention, ladies and gentlemen—your tire rotations are now complete. Please collect your vehicles from the parking lot, but beware: they may drive themselves!' Soon enough, a delivery driver pulled up to the front door, complaining that his truck had driven itself halfway across town while he was napping under the hood. Meanwhile, a regular customer’s car arrived at her house, parked itself neatly in the driveway, then honked three times before jumping out of gear and waving cheerfully at her. The Goodyear staff just smiled and said, ‘Welcome back! Your vehicle is ready.’

4. One sunny Saturday, little Timmy followed his dad into Goodyear’s workshop. As he watched mechanics work on cars, he suddenly pointed excitedly towards the ceiling: 'Dad, look! Is that a bird?' Their father chuckled and said, ‘No son, it’s just an old tire hanging from the ceiling.’ Little Timmy nodded thoughtfully before turning back to watch the mechanics with renewed interest. The next day, when asked why he wanted to be a mechanic when he grew up, Timmy replied, ‘Because they fix everything!’
