About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Clem Tire and asked, ‘Hey, do you guys ever see ghostly figures in the workshop?’ The mechanics just shrugged it off, but soon enough, strange shadows started dancing around the tires. Finally, one evening after closing time, an old mechanic decided to investigate. He found nothing until he heard a voice whispering, 'Need some air?' Turns out, it was just a tire pump with a faulty speaker. Everyone had a good laugh—and now, whenever someone mentions ghosts at Clem Tire, they get a free air pump.
2. Late one afternoon, as mechanics were fixing cars in their usual routine, an old sign appeared on Clem Tire’s roof: ‘Free Donuts for Cars Fixed Faster Than 30 Minutes.’ No one knew who put it there or why, but ever since then, customers mysteriously started arriving with their vehicles already prepped and ready. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire through town. A delivery driver arrived with a fully inflated tire already installed, another neighbor dropped off his car with its oil changed and engine cleaned. Even a regular stopped by with a spare set of tires neatly arranged in the trunk. By closing time, Clem Tire had fixed no cars at all—all were done before they even pulled up.
3. Late one morning, a neighbor stopped by Clem Tire with a puzzled look on his face. 'Guys,' he said, 'I just saw your sign flashing “Tires On Fire” — is that normal?' The guys at Clem Tire laughed it off. ‘Oh no,’ they said, ‘that’s not what you think—it’s our new digital tire pressure monitor!’ They explained how when tires were low on air, the sign would briefly display an alarming message. The relieved neighbor shook their head and walked away, muttering something about never trusting signs again—until another delivery driver pulled up, reading the same sign with concern.
4. Late one morning, a mechanic at Clem Tire noticed something odd among the tools on the workbench—a tiny, handwritten note attached to a wrench read: ‘Use me only if your day is going perfectly.’ Smiling, the mechanic thought it was just another prank and decided to give it a try. To his surprise, the entire day went flawlessly—tools worked like magic, customers were happy, and even the usually grumpy boss praised him. At closing time, he found an envelope with a simple message: 'Next time, use the hammer.'
