About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At NTB, a little boy walked in with his dad one day. While his father was getting tires checked, the kid kept staring at something under the counter. ‘What’s that?’ he asked, pointing at an old battery wrapped in dusty newspaper. The mechanic smiled and said nothing, but from then on, every now and then, the boy would come back, asking about the mysterious object. Finally, one day, the boy returned with his grandfather. The old man approached the counter and whispered, ‘I’ll take it.’ The mechanic nodded, unwrapped the paper, revealing a brand-new battery. ‘It was my granddad’s,’ he explained, smiling. Now, whenever someone asks about the mystery item, they just say, “Oh, that? It’s our secret retired battery.”
2. At NTB, every morning begins with a familiar hum of tires being rotated. But recently, one employee noticed something unusual—a soft, rhythmic tapping sound coming from inside the tire storage room. The tapping grew louder until it sounded like an entire orchestra was practicing inside. Curious employees crowded around the door, trying not to laugh. It turned out that a delivery driver had accidentally left his drumsticks in the tire crate—he'd been rehearsing for his garage band during lunch break.
3. At NTB, it’s always quiet before dawn when a delivery driver arrives with an unusual cargo. One foggy morning, he brought in not just tires but also a mysterious box wrapped in old newspapers. As the box was unwrapped, everyone saw inside—a small, furry creature that looked lost and confused. Turns out, it was someone's escaped pet rabbit. The whole office spent the day trying to find its owner while laughing and sharing stories about rabbits gone wild around town. By afternoon, a neighbor knocked on the door with some carbs and a note reading: ‘Welcome new member of the neighborhood!’
4. At NTB, a customer once asked if they could replace their tire with a spare from the next state over. Nobody knew what to make of that. The mechanic looked puzzled but shrugged and said, ‘Why not? Let’s give it a try!’ So, they swapped tires like states away, and when the customer drove off, everyone laughed—including the delivery driver who just dropped off new batteries. Moral of the story: sometimes NTB does things no one else would even consider.’
