About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Goodyear and noticed something strange: every time he backed out of the driveway, the tires made an eerie humming sound like distant bees. No one else seemed to hear it, but he couldn't shake the feeling that the whole neighborhood was listening in. Finally, another neighbor confessed they’d been hearing the noise too—every time he watered his garden! Turns out, the delivery driver’s truck had a faulty exhaust pipe, which amplified the sound waves from the sprinklers. Everyone got a good laugh over coffee at Goodyear that morning.

2. A little boy from down the street walked into Goodyear one day, clearly confused. ‘Why are those tires dancing?’ he asked, pointing at the tire rack that seemed to sway ever so slightly in the breeze. An old delivery driver looked up from his truck and smiled. ‘Oh, them,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Those aren’t dancing tires—those are just waiting for their next adventure.’ The little boy nodded wisely, then ran off to play, leaving everyone at Goodyear with a smile on their faces.

3. One afternoon, a regular asked the mechanic: ‘Why does it always rain tires here?’ The mechanic smiled and replied, 'Because every time someone needs new tires, they come right here!' The regular laughed heartily, realizing it was just one of those funny coincidences that make life in Goodyear so interesting.

4. A neighborhood dog began visiting Goodyear late at night. Every evening, after closing time, he would wander in, sniffing around the workshop with an unusual curiosity. One night, a delivery driver arrived to find the dog sitting next to his truck, wagging excitedly. ‘Hey, buddy,’ said the driver, scratching the dog behind the ear. The canine then ran inside and pointed towards the tire rack—clearly indicating that it was out of coffee.’
