About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone and asked the mechanic, ‘Do you ever see ghostly figures around here?’ The mechanic laughed but said he’d noticed strange lights flickering late at night. Soon enough, other mechanics started reporting similar sightings. One evening, as they were closing up, a voice from behind called out, ‘Hey guys, can I get my tires checked tomorrow?’ Everyone turned around—no one was there. Since then, whenever someone mentions ghosts, the old sign outside says it all: ‘Firestone—Fixing Cars Since Before Ghosts Were Here.’
2. One day, a little girl followed her dad into Firestone while he dropped off his car for service. As she waited, she pointed excitedly at something on the wall and whispered, 'Daddy, what’s that strange machine doing?' Her father smiled and explained, ‘Honey, it’s just a tire balancer.’ She nodded thoughtfully then asked, ‘Does it make cars dance?’ Everyone in the shop burst out laughing, including the mechanic who was adjusting a wheel. The little girl giggled and said, “Next time I’ll bring my dancing shoes!”
3. One morning, a neighborhood dog started barking hysterically outside Firestone. Mechanics looked out puzzled, but nothing seemed amiss until a customer’s pet hamster escaped from its cage inside the shop. A delivery driver rushed in, frantically searching for his lost goldfish bowl. Turns out, it had been hiding under a toolbox since yesterday. The mechanics laughed it off, assuring everyone that no harm was done—except maybe to their pride when they realized how noisy little critters can be.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with a flat tire. The mechanic took one look under the hood and said, 'This looks like our old friend, the blowout from hell.' The mechanic shook his head and muttered something about ‘another Friday night special.’ He popped open the tire, and sure enough, there was a piece of gravel embedded deep inside. With a smile, he told the driver, ‘It’s fixed now—just don’t drive through any construction zones tonight!’
