About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Firestone garage one night, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Why does your neon always flash when I come here?’ Mechanic shrugged with a smile: ‘That’s our neon, always greeting you like an old friend.’ Delivery driver laughed, shook his head and said goodbye—never suspecting that the friendly glow was actually just an aging bulb and some clever wiring. A neighbor passing by chuckled: ‘Guess he’ll never know it was all in good fun!’

2. At Firestone garage one morning, an old mechanic grumbled, ‘Why do I always see the same headlights in my rearview mirror?’ ‘I tell you,’ another mechanic chimed in with a knowing smile, ‘they’re probably just that persistent delivery driver from down the street.’ The old man scoffed and shook his head, but couldn’t help but crack a grin as he muttered, “Probably thinks he’s delivering something important… again.”

3. At dawn, when most mechanics were just stretching, an old Firestone customer arrived in his vintage convertible. He complained, 'Why is it that every time I come here, my car talks back?' The mechanic looked puzzled and replied, ‘Sir, your car never talks—only you do.’ The old man beamed with pride and said, ‘Ah, but that's why I keep coming here! Your guys always listen so well!’

4. At midnight, a delivery driver parked outside Firestone and noticed something odd on the ground—a strange metal box with no markings. Curious, he picked it up and brought it inside. Inside, the box contained an old radio with staticky news from decades ago. The delivery driver played along, pretending he was listening to important updates while his colleagues snickered. Eventually, someone joked that maybe it was a time capsule from the future, meant for them to fix their own cars. Everyone laughed so hard they almost forgot to do any actual repairs.
