About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Firestone, where mechanics whisper tales late into the night, one regular noticed something peculiar. Every Tuesday, after closing, a small dog would appear from nowhere and patiently wait outside until the last mechanic left. No one knew who owned it or why it only showed up on Tuesdays. Finally, someone asked the dog what he wanted. The little fellow just looked up with big brown eyes and wagged his tail. Turned out, every Tuesday was ‘cookie day’ for the neighborhood kids, and the dog was their secret messenger, making sure everyone remembered to bring treats for the mechanics.

2. At Firestone, where mechanics whisper tales late into the night, one regular noticed something odd. ‘Hey,’ he said, pointing towards the service bay, ‘why does that tire always look like it’s smiling?’ A delivery driver leaned over and whispered, ‘That ain’t no smile—it’s a grimace! That tire must be in serious pain!’ A mechanic laughed and replied, ‘Nah, man, it’s just happy to finally get some attention.’ The regular nodded knowingly, finishing his coffee and leaving with a smile—maybe the tire was just having a good day after all.

3. At Firestone, where mechanics whisper tales late into the night, a delivery driver once asked curiously: ‘Why does Mr. Smith always leave with a smile after dropping off parts here?’ One old mechanic leaned over and whispered conspiratorially, ‘He’s our secret customer—Mr. Smith never drops off parts, he delivers them! We’ve been trading jokes and free oil changes for years.’ The delivery driver scratched his head, smiling, as everyone around him burst out laughing.

4. At Firestone, where mechanics whisper tales late into the night, a delivery driver once found an old vinyl record stuck between the tires of a parked car. The record was from the 60s, and when he played it, everyone in the garage danced around, even the gruffest mechanics. Turned out it was his neighbor’s lost treasure. Now, whenever someone mentions old records, they all laugh and say, ‘That’s just another day at Firestone!’
