About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and asked the mechanic, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures in here?’ The mechanic shrugged, curious but not alarmed. The mechanic shook his head with a smile. 'Nah,' he said, 'just a few old cars that won’t start.' Then, out of nowhere, an ancient Cadillac slowly rolled into view, its headlights dim as ghosts. 'Guess I’ll stay for breakfast,' quipped the delivery driver, laughing, as everyone else burst into laughter—including the Cadillac.
2. One day, while waiting for his tires to be changed, an old man noticed something peculiar in the service bay. On the workbench lay a rusty old keychain with a note attached: 'Found on the roof of our building.' Curious, he showed it to the mechanic who shrugged and said, 'We’ve found dozens like that over the years.' Finally, after weeks of curiosity, another customer—a delivery driver—found an identical keychain on the same spot. The mechanic grinned: ‘See? Just our good luck.’ That night, as everyone left, they discovered a small sign on the door: ‘Keys Found Here. Please Come Back To Claim Yours.’
3. A curious cat regularly sauntered into Firestone one afternoon, always appearing just as customers were leaving. The feline would sit patiently on the hood of cars, watching mechanics work with an air of knowingness that made everyone smile. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box full of donuts. Thinking it was for him, he left them on the counter. When he came back later, the cat had eaten every last one—except for the sign reading ‘Free Donuts for Mechanics Only.’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, the cat became known around town as the sweet-toothed supervisor.
4. One night, a little boy walked into Firestone with his toy car in hand. He approached the counter and said, 'Uncle, can you fix my wheels?' The mechanic looked puzzled but smiled back, replying, 'Sure thing, kiddo!' The mechanic took one look at the tiny car and burst out laughing. ‘Son,’ he said, ‘these are just plastic wheels!’ The boy nodded seriously and replied, ‘I know, Uncle, but they’re supposed to be for real cars when I grow up.’ Everyone in the shop cracked up, and from then on, whenever someone brought their car in for repairs, they’d wave and say, ‘Hey, kid—how’s your big car coming along?’
