About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, as a regular drove into Firestone for routine maintenance, his dog started barking uncontrollably in the waiting area. The mechanic shrugged it off until another customer’s cat joined in, howling from behind the counter. Soon enough, even the receptionist's parrot was squawking along with them. The whole place sounded like a zoo on Halloween. Confused and amused, the mechanics decided to ignore the noise and focus on their work. By morning, everything returned to normal—except for the occasional harmony between cars and critters whenever someone brought their pet in.
2. One morning, an early riser parked at Firestone for tire rotation. In the service bay, he noticed something odd—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper, left behind on the counter. Curious, he opened it and found a note saying ‘Free donuts today!’ Inside were five glazed treats, still warm from the bakery down the street. A neighbor must’ve left them as thanks for always waiting patiently during his busy deliveries. The regulars laughed, calling it their secret ‘donut reward program.’
3. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone for an oil change. As he walked in, he swore he heard someone whispering from under the hood. Curious, he looked around but saw no one. Just as he was about to dismiss it, the mechanic called out: ‘Hey, you! The engine’s fine—just some old parts talking.’ Relieved, the driver left with a smile, never realizing that his own keys had been whispering ‘Where’s my coffee?’ all along.
4. One afternoon, a neighbor dropped off her car at Firestone for brakes inspection. As she waited in the lobby, her cat jumped onto the reception desk and began rearranging the pens. The employee gently placed the pens back in order while smiling at the surprised feline. Suddenly, an older gentleman walked in, glanced at the scene, and said, 'I thought cats only liked laser pointers!' The receptionist laughed and replied, 'Apparently not just any old toy will do.'
